I told my English friends at college I’d stopped drinking and stuff and they said, “That’d be a **** life”.
That just made me think these people have no idea what they are missing out on. They are depressed *******s, they think they have it all but they don’t. They work hard all week and then blow it all at the pub on Friday night (the highlight of their week) or on holidays or a car and they spends their lives paying mortgages and stuff.
Happiness is not found in material things, I use to think designer clothes, cars, motorbikes, mobile phones, going out etc. could keep me happy but it only lasted a while and you always feel empty.
Does anyone else feel that warm feeling when praying or listening to the muezzin call or reading Quran? I can’t put it into words like but does anyone know what I mean?
I’d almost forgotten how it felt it feels so good.
I once read that sinning weakens our faith and it’s so true the more we sin, that warm feeling starts to fade away, the emptier our heart starts to feel and our consciences start to die down, religion just becomes some rituals you do to keep mum and dad happy and at the back of your head you start loosing faith in religion until you leave it all together.
But when you repent and do good actions and abstain from bad ones and pray with sincerity (with wazu) and stuff that feeling comes back and starts getting more and more intense.
It’s funny how they think Islam is oppressive and boring, and we’re not allowed to do practically anything but they’ve never been in our shoes so how do they know anything? Their lifestyle is obviously attractive but once you’ve experienced it is not all that compared to the simple modest yet great lifestyle the Prophet PBUH lived even after becoming practically the king of Arabia it just makes you feel so content.
They say that such and such an Izlemic country is oppressive (and to convince themselves and others of this fallacy they’ll listen to a minority from that country, one in a million who aggress with their views and propagate it like mad) and this that and the other, although with the Islamic lifestyle there’s rules and regulations but the blissful feeling that comes with those rules and regulations beats anything.
What’s the point in clothes, cars, and pleasures of the flesh when you can’t truly be happy? The western lifestyle is so empty.
I think I’ll stop blabbing on now I’m so delighted I found that feeling again I just had to tell someone, I just hope it stays, I could loose anything for it.
for sharing
