Al-Tirmidhi October 22, 2011

Allah the Almighty has said, “O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and hope in Me, I shall forgive you what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds in the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with an earthful of sins and were you then to face Me, without having associated anything with Me, I shall grant you an earthful of pardon.”

Neurosurgical Prowess October 13, 2011

I think people should really learn to think for themselves.

Over the years, I’ve come to notice that a lot of people are just really good at agreeing and quoting what someone else said. I mean, you have a good memory & you can regurgitate & that’s all well and fine, but one day you’re going to realise that just because someone else said it, that doesn’t mean that it has to be true.

Every single person on this planet leads a life separate and different from any other. We meet different people, we go through different events at different points of our lives, we learn different things. Sometimes we look back, or a particularly major event occurs, and we face a sudden realisation, adopt a new perspective on things etc.

For instance, people generally tend to agree that we shouldn’t have any regrets. “Live life with no regrets”, “Don’t have regrets because at one point it was exactly what you wanted.” The way I see it, regret is a good thing. Okay, so the feeling sucks, but having regrets just means you’ve grown from that experience. It means you’ve learnt a lesson in life, to never do something stupid like that again.

And while giving people the freedom of choice may sound like a good thing, it hardly ever is when it affects other people. Just because you admire someone, it doesn’t mean what they say is always right. We all need to form our own opinions and live life by our own perspectives, see the world through our own eyes.

Religion October 8, 2011

I don’t get how some people try to mock Islam and Muslims by saying: they don’t get what’s up with the number of Muslims named Mohamed and that even Christians don’t name their kids Jesus.
What they fail to realise is that, neither do we name our kids Allah. Abdullah sure, because that means ‘servant of Allah’. But instead we name them after the greatest man that ever lived, the epitome of mankind perfected. & isn’t it very common for others’ kids to be named after their grandmother/father or whatever? Muhammad s.a.w. was an even better person than any grandmother/father anyone could have had, so why not? Tell me then, why not name your kid after the most perfect man, in the hopes that your kid could follow in his footsteps?
Muhammad s.a.w. was a man like any other man, he was Allah’s servant raised to the highest honour. He was not a God, simply a Messenger of Allah Most High.
I really don’t have anything against other religions. My stand has always been, ‘To each his own.’ I just hate to stand by and let ignorant people actually spread their absolute lack of knowledge. People should just stick to talking about things they actually know anything about.
