The Comical Sheikh

Written by :

I was at a seminar today about a guy called Yusuf Estes, who was a Christian priest a few years back and who converted to Islam after finding more about it. He spoke about how he converted when he was trying to put his views across to a Muslim guy he was dealing with for business.

He really had the right grips to carry on a talk, he added lots of comical comments between his talk which made sure that no one was sound sleep. Tomorrow he will be talking about “Women and Islam”. The amazing thing was that two ladies became Muslim today after the 6 hour long lecture he gave.

He presented so great facts that it was just amazing to hear him through. For those who haven’t heard of Yusuf.. here he is.. click here

Right or Rudness??

I sometime think how we humans mix up this thing – when one would ask for their “rights” the lable of being “rude” is right there for them . How sad is that?? very sad – yeah I know. I myself have felt it so many times in life that when I happend to just loud my voice for my rights I would be in the category of Rude N not decent girls – makes me really annoyed N so damn frustrated sometimes that I just give up my right – which of course is something bad to do, but at that time it feels alright to just keep quite instead of fighting for my right  hmmmm. (Not that I like being quiet at that very moment or that the other person is right, it’s just to avoid the situation toget worse I guess).

But, I do think about it a lot that how people can neglet it so, N how they try to control the other human being N wish them to be like “dolls” (which they aren’t).

I wish I could just shout it out that “I’M A HUMAN BEING TOO” I too have feeling N emotions N I too wish to live a normal life just like everyone else – but don’t know why this scream just die inside before it reaches the air hmmm – I’m counting on AllAh  to do justice N he’s the only one I trust. this world is so very good at making the other person worthless N made of stone, which is extremly pathetic. Sometime would be so nice if they can see the mirror or somehow feel how it would be if someone else treated them this way. Not much pleasant, I’m sure . . . . .

Staying happy when sad..

I often come across people who have gone through the toughest of times but still smile. Then I wonder what is it that they are doing right that others aren’t… and then I get few answers which most of the times should be quite obvious. Below I will just mention few of them.

  • Being sad doesn’t mean the end of the world
    Lots of people feel that the sadness surrounding them will last. Well to break that bubble of yours.. no sadness lasts forever. It’s usually always the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. Hang in there
  • Sadness is not your friend
    It sure isn’t. No one gets anything good out of being sad. So surround yourself with people who make you smile and laugh. And hey if someone is making you feel so sad, just build a bridge and get over it. Yes I know it’s rough, but sometimes one needs a kick in the back to get things going.
  • Being sad makes you look old
    Yah It’s kind of true. Try being a sad person for a whole week or so, and whenever someone says something just make a sour face in return. Not only will you “kill” everything young cell in your body but you will make sure nothing looks good on you. Since sometimes wearing a smile compliments any clothing, but wearing a frown makes even the best clothes look silly.
  • Last but not least, sadness is not the way to go..
    I am a big fan of positivity in any situation. But since I am also a human being, I too get sad sometimes. But usually snap out of it quick. I am a spirtual person who believes in God and feel that everything happens for a reason. So usually the “sadness” bug doesn’t like me that much since I don’t give it company.

So to sum it up.. to stay happy you need to be around positive people, remember that sadness doesn’t last unless you want it to and DON’T hang around things that make you go sad.

Do share your tips!
