Re: birthdays - janam din
Yes its a very good idea ... people should make resolutions as it keeps them on track and keeps them in check what they ve been upto thru their life and what bad they ve done and .. they make new resolutions by looking in the past and see what they can change ... in the future and what they can do better .. end of the day .. life of a person is all based on Usools and if the methods and guidelines are not followed then the person will go off track and ... and if a person is really sincere they will know that they willbe accountable for everything they do on the day of judgement .. so its good that a person knows in advance what his / her short time plans are and what he / she wants to achieve in the long run ...
Theres a hadith of the Prophet SAW that : "A beleiver in this world is like a traveller taking shade under a tree" .. basically what this means is what i said ... were here only for a short time and we should focus more on the actual destination where we want to go .. and that is Jannat ...
its like a person catches a train from london to scotland ... and he has to change trains at Doncaster ... and at Doncaster he orders 52 '' Widescreen TV, sofas gets laminate flooring done at the platform and he even gets the decorators to get the walls done and what not yet! he knows his destination is Scotland ... so its a lil silly of him to settle down .. at the Temporary place ...there fore we should have our aims and goals in advance and we know what we are doing every step of our life ... :)
