Funny.....

I got this as a forward…

a.. Funny how a $100 “looks” so big when taken to mosque,but so small when taken to the mall.
b.. Funny how long it takes to serve God for an
hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of a game.
c.. Funny how long a couple of hours spent at
the mosque seem, but how short they are when watching a movie.
d.. Funny how people can’t think of anything to
say when they pray, but don’t have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
e.. Funny how people get thrilled when a
game goes into extra innings,but complain when
a khutba is longer than the regular time.

f.. Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in
the Quran, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
g.. Funny how people want to get a front seat at
any game or concert, but scramble to sit in the back of a mosque.
h.. Funny how people need 2 or 3 weeks advance
notice to fit a Muslim event into their schedule, but can adjust their schedule for other events at the last moment.
i.. Funny how hard it is for people to learn the
simple ayit or hadees, well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
j.. Funny how people believe what the newspaper
says,but question what the Quran says.
k.. Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven
provided they do not have to believe, think, say or do anything.
l.. Funny how you can send a thousand ‘jokes’
through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding Allah, people think twice about sharing. Don’t think twice, pass it on!

very realistic view brother.

Shair.

Its pretty sad...and seems so pathetic, i mean this world is nothing..less then nothing, and yet still we allow ourselves to get so caught up in it.....inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un

**I'M TOO BUSY*

Everyday as i wake up at dawn
My mind start working the moment i yawn
There were many things to do, o dear!
That's why i hastily did my Subuh prayer
I didn't have the time to sit longer to
praise the Lord
To me rushing out after prayer is nothing odd...

Since school, i had been busy every minute
Completing my tutorials and handing it in
My ECAs took up most of my time always
No time did i have to Allah to pray
Too many things to do and zikir is rare
For Allah, I really had no time to spare..

When i grew up and started my career
Working all day to secure my future
When I reached home, I prefered to have fun
I chatted on the phone but i didn't read the Quran
I spent too much time surfing the Internet
Sad to say, my faith was falling flat...

The only time i have left is weekends
During which i prefer window shopping with friends
I couldn't spare time to go to the mosque
I'm too busy, that's the BIG EXCUSE...

I did my five prayers but did so quickly
After prayer, I didn't sit longer to reflect quietly
I didn't have time to help the needy ones
I was loaded with work as my precious time runs

No time at all to visit a sick Muslim friend
To orphans and elderly, I hardly lent a hand
I'm too busy to do community service
When there were gatherings, I helped the least

My life was already full of stress
So i didn't counsel a Muslim in distress
I didn't spend much time with my family
B'coz i thought, doing so is a waste of time...

No time to share with non-Muslim about Islam
Even though I know, inviting causes no harm
No time to do Sunnah prayers at all
All these contribute to my imaan's fall..

I'm busy here and busy there
I've no time at all, that's all i care
I went for religious lessons, just once in awhile
Coz i'm too busy making a pile...

I worked all day and i slept all night
Too tired for Tahajjud and it seemed not right
To me, earning a living was already tough
so i only did basic deeds but that's not enough..

No time at all, to admire God's creation
No time to praise All_h and seek His Compassion
Although I know how short is my life
For Islam, I really didn't strive..

Finally the day comes, when the Lord calls for me
And I stood before Him with my Life's History

I feel so guilty b'coz i should have prayed more
Isn't that what a Muslim lives for?
To thank Allah and do more good deeds
And the Quran is for us all to read..

Now at Judgement Day, I'm starting to fret
I've wasted my life but it's too late to regret
My entry to Paradise depend on my good behaviour
But i've not done enough nor did proper prayer

My "good deed book" is given from my right
An angel opened my "book" and read out my plight.
Then the angel chided me....

"O You Muslim servant, you are the one,
Who is given enough time, yet not much is done
Do you know that your faith is loose?
saying "no time" is only an excuse.
Your "good deed book" should be filled up more
with all the good work you stood up for..

Hence, I only recorded those little good deeds
As I say this, I know your eyes will mist..
I was about to write some more, you see
But i did not have, THE TIME to list".......

THE END.*
