Life is useless without vodka?
All praises are due to Allah who created the heavens and the earth. Without a doubt, there is no God but Him and our hopes, dreams and wishes are directed only to Him. He created stars so that humans can appreciate the beauty of it and to show directions to those who are lost at sea. Our mind, eyes and ears are made so that we can think about the things we lay our eyes upon and hear the serenity of the down pour and the subtle movement of the sky above. We hope not to deviate like those who had created god besides Allah and those who have / had allied Him. It is an easy task for Him to just crush us all but because of His Great Kindness, He has held His wrath so that those who have lost their can revive their path and those who have been blind can restore their sight and those who have been deaf can listen with their heart. He is such an awesome being that there is nothing on this earth that is comparable to Him. Allah, The Most Powerful created things tinier than atom and bigger than anything the mind can think of. He owns everything that is to see, to touch and to hear.
Prophet Muhammad is His loved one. He is the final messenger of Allah to bring back humans from a state of ignorance to a state of believing that "There is no God but Allah!!". We pray that Allah give His utmost blessings to Prophet Muhammad for the trial and triumphs he had to go through delivering Islam to the human race. We hope to see our beloved Prophet one day, if not in our dreams, insya Allah, during hereafter. We hope to sit with his circle of best friends. We hope that he will be there to grant us "syafa'at" when we needed one, insya Allah. We hope that his teachings and his prophecy will live on forever until the day this world crumbles into tiny bits of pieces. Just like crumbs.
We have seen many instances in the past where humans died due to their ignorance. Quranic verses had came to them but they just never listened and they kept doing what their great great ancestors have been doing. They kept thinking that what their ancestors were doing were good and that if they just keep it up, they thought this would bring luck and harmony. Instead, the only thing that came was a black cloud surrouding their area. Humans now cannot just live that way anymore, its just not sensible. We do pity those who are still blinded with the entertainments being brought from the West such as punks, airheads, and whatnots.
The pattern now is getting more apparent than ever. Everyone wants to be cool and be known by wearing trendy / skinny outfits that is almost similar to what musicians are wearing. Piercings here and there and miniskirts are countlessly noticable. Perhaps, we all have taken our religion, Islam, all too lightly. There is a huge difference between 'I'slam and 'i'slam. If someone was to ask you, "Which do you think is correct...Islam with a BIG i or Islam with a small i? The answer will probably blow your mind away.
Before anwsering the question, we think that it would be a swell idea to just get to know a bit about English grammar. Just like in any other word or sentence, you would use a capital letter at a beginning of a sentence and the rest would all be small letters. BUT, there are some cases where you would insert a capital letter in a middle of a sentence such as:
Look closely and you will notice that the capital M has been bolded. This is to show the difference between the two. Now, in the second sentence, you will see that this sentence is to SHOW that the person's religion is Islam. However, for the first sentence, this is to show that not only this person's religion is islam but he is also doing how a muslim should. So the latter sentence is showing an ACT. Hence, an action of being a muslim. But for the 2nd sentence, the word islam will only appear when filling an application. Confused?
Generally, muslims nowadays are Muslims. Only on identity cards or passports but NOT in behavioral aspects. This intention here is not to condemned others but to show what is really going outside our house. We feel as if, we are going back to the days of ignorance. We know that the resources of islam is there but only few is trying to fully utilize it. What will the future hold for our children and grandchildren if we don't have that awareness and consciousness now? We fear that we all be in a great turmoil.
To sum up, while we were driving, we saw a diagonal sign cube stating that "life is useless without vodka". Mixed feelings went down our guts. Angry, sad & sorry. Angry because how can one produce such indecency. Sad because how daft the driver was or may be. And sorry that we had to see it to believe it. May Allah save us all from Day of Judgement and make us true / sincere muslims..
