My 113th Post: Religious Us

The day I took my first breath of air, I didn't know who I was or what my identity was going to be....like others, I just opened my eyes and closed them again to be cuddled in the arms of my loved ones....I didn't know what my motive was when I came into existence....I only knew that I have been sent to some people as their son, nothing else....when I grew, things revealed and I was given a certain identity to carry myself in this world...with a name and a family background, I was also enrolled in a titled category which by default is done for each and every child who steps in this world....I was categorised according to the religion of my parents and placed under the title of Islam....
What is Islam? What kind of a religion is it? Things like that were unknown to my knowledge and what was known is that it is a religion which my parents follow and I have to obey them and follow what they tell me to...with age, the knowledge increased and I came to know the difference between good and bad and the selection of a righteous path....this day, there are so many things that I know are wrong in this society and I know that they would lead me to the fire of Hell....I know I should avoid them and try to become a better Muslim but instead of doing that, I am just fooling around and dragging my mind towards the beastly activities....
I am not the judge of the ones who are reading my posts but I can say that most of the people are just namely religious....they might be following some rules and regulations but would be avoiding a lot of them....in Islam, the first thing we are taught are the rules which would keep us away from Hell....those rules are simple and easily followed....I believe in each and every rule taught to us but the last one which says to believe in the day of judgement, I am doing a mistake in that....I believe from the depth of my heart that I would be commanded to raise once more to be judged according to my deeds in this worldly life....but, the thing which is killing me is that I do believe but I ain't correcting my deeds....there are many mistakes in my character which might get me punished and the irony is that I am not avoiding them....surely I do try but my will is weak which means I am not really trying hard.....
There should be a fear in our hearts stronger than the one we have when we have to face our parents....It is the God we are talking about here...He is the one who created each and everything, even the ones we fear....if we are afraid of the creation, why don't we have the sense of being afraid of the Creator? the creation might hurt us physically but for a limited time...the Creator can punish us for eternity if He wills to do so....His torments would be much terrible than the ones we can imagine.....but still, we are ignoring that fact and moving in life the way we want to....we are avoiding simple things which He taught us to be good and are lusting over things which He has restrained us from.....
Most of us are following Him just compared to the drop of rain against the water from all the oceans....just ask your heart where do you stand and if you are far away from the gates of Heaven, try to perfect yourself and pray to Him to guide you and the others to the right path....strengthen your believes and make the aim of reaching Heaven your first priority....
May Allah bless us all and please do pray for each and everyone, including this writer.....

My 12th Post:Iftar

aww...honestly when the time for iftar comes, that's the expression by any Muslim who waited nearly whole day to get something down his/her throat....For anyone who is still unaware of the thing am talking about, let me just give them an intro.....
Among all of the months, there is a month in the Lunar calender named "Ramadan"....its a sacred month in which Muslims from any nation fast from dawn to the time the sky deepens in its blue colour....well it is compulsory to keep oneself clean both in thoughts and manners through out the year but in this month specially during the fast, it is obligatory for the faster to follow some rules.....these consist of doing good deeds, maintaining a distance from anything which Allah dislikes and most importantly, keeping the stomach away from both food and water.....
Fast starts with sehri and ends with iftar....iftar is the time when Muslims sit down in peace and wait for the azaan(call of prayers) of Maghrib....that is the time when we are allowed to open our fast and eat what we desire, keeping in mind that, that should be halal....
Some of the readers who are Muslims would disagree with the expression I used as they would say that they would go on with their fast and don't mind if iftari time was near or far....I disagree with all due respect....yes, we fast cause its an order by our Lord but if we don't feel the impact of a fast then it is just like a daily routine movement.....
When the time of iftar comes, in my view and experience that is the time when I really want to dig in....just imagine a table covered with delicious, mouth watering food items....still more to come but no space to keep them....you see the world of delight flashing before your eyes....specially in summers when you are fasting, it is really tough cause there is a desire for water every 5 minutes and at the time of iftar, there are jugs filled with beverages, perfectly chilled just waiting for you to pour in your glass....I mean its just like someone who went to cola shop after spending a week in desert.....trust me the picture in my eyes is really a dream come true.....
But at that very moment another thought hits my eye....I am going to munch down everything which is in front of me just in few minutes but what about the people who can't? there are people on streets who can't even afford a proper one time meal, who can't fill their stomach but still are trying to live....I am blessed with the riches masha-Allah which is why I can eat, but did I earn them? certainly I did cause Allah gave them to me...then the question arrives what can I give in return....what can someone give to someone who owns everything? there is nothing except being grateful and that is on of the biggest things to do....being grateful really helps in keeping the mind clean and pure....what if I was among the poor? but I am not so in return I can  say thank you to Allah and try to help His other creation which ain't that lucky like me....
well that is little something upon iftar and all and now I am going to show you what iftar is....check out the picture and do like and comment....Tc

My 3rd Post: Death Scene

life ends

with a sorrow in hands

the one we loved

can never be hugged

that is a very tragic instance in our lives....we don't want to miss someone dear to us no matter how much we tell them that we hate them...we still want their presence.....the thought that they are breathing soothes our mind and lets us live....
at times, I start thinking that it would really be easy for me if I left before the ones I love cause then I won't have any sorrow of losing someone but then I think how would it be for the people who truly love me...I know life goes on but still how intense would their pain be....is being selfish here a good thing really? I don't know, I simply confuse myself and roam my head outta that topic....
when we go to someone's funeral, we end up seeing different types of people...some are sitting in a corner who seem aloof from their surrounding, some gagging in a group of people and view the spot as a perfect hangout, some are terribly sorry for the loss of that person and pay condolence to the family and there are even those who didn't care for that dead soul their entire life but they truly miss them when he/she remains no more....
looking into the details of the scenario, we find people crying cause they are truly hurt and we also find those who try to shed tears just cause others may see and cheer their name....in my society, I also find people who join the family at those times just to get free lunch....these type of people enter when food is served and leave when they are hungry no more....
I really find this disturbing cause now a days rarely someone cares about someone's deaths...the hearts are rusted to an extent that they have forgotten the thought that one day they will be the ones' who would chair that event and also a day when the whole setup would be for them...what if people act same at those times? just think, if you are chairing the death ceremony of someone you love the most and find people laughing, won't that hurt more than the death of that someone?
so respect the dead and support the ones' who lost someone rather than being a pain to their eyes and their hearts.....
may all the people who died till today and afterwards be blessed by my Lord and be cherished with Heaven...Ameen
