Jotting my thoughts

It's been long since last time I wrote a blog. Life is very busy I barely have time to jot my thoughts on a piece of paper or on notepad. It's always fun every now and then to do so, though. I don't know what to specifically write about but here I am writing without stop. I see life is changing around me every day. I guess it's the time where I'm gaining experience of dealing with my surroundings. I feel I'm getting older quicker than expected. I still want to enjoy my youth, but It's not easy to do so, from my perspective. I think that fun cannot be had alone, or even with friends. The real fun is what you have with your life partner, someone who will be there for the rest of your life. I'm looking for that one right now, and hopefully I will find her soon. It's hard living this life and struggling without the support of a wife. Anyone not having this feeling of support has misunderstood marriage, I think. I think I reached my limit of setting my future goals, and it's about time to apply my efforts to make them reality. I gotta think and prepare for what is unprepared. In this life, no matter how long it lasts, will end sooner than we think. When are we gonna start preparing for the end? We know it's coming, yet, we keep our heads busy from thinking about it. I don't understand why. We always prepare for the unexpected in our life and we don't feel ashamed of doing so. What harm would it do to prepare for our next journey? I truly don't understand. I believe that in order to live in this life and survive in it, we should stick to strong principles, even if they are not ours. I have been alone for quite some time, but that didn't affect the way I think, or perceive thoughts. We must be acting upon our beliefs all the way, and scold ourselves if we ever go astray from them. This way, we will always maintain trust in each other. Does this sound weird? Well, it shouldn't. If you know how a person thinks and behaves, nothing he will do will surprise you. That might sound ordinary, but it's reassuring at the same time. I want to reassure all people around me, especially the ones closest to me that, no matter what, I'm sticking to my beliefs even if I look like going astray from them. I don't judge my beliefs based on my actions, it's the other way around. I suppose wise people think alike. By the way, one of the things that make me struggle is how to come up with a good title for a blog, especially this one. I guess it's good to leave it blank than put some irrelevant title.
Anyways, enough jotting thoughts and brainstorming. Hopefully I wasn't a bother to anyone.

What is freedom?

A person who does a bad thing to him/herself doesn't have the right to decide. i feel that some people will misunderstand me and think I'm interfering or I'm taking the right of making decisions from some people. I will explain myself and i hope this misunderstanding will disappear. First of all, a person who does a bad thing to him/herself does not realize how serious that bad thing on him/herself sometimes. I know some people will say that they know they are doing a bad thing but they are OK with it. Then, why is it called a bad thing? Anyone knows that a bad thing means that something we shouldn't do and we should teach our kids not to do. I don't understand why we would teach our kids not to drink because its a bad thing but when they grow up, we let them do so. Does the age make the bad thing good thing, or the other way around? Also, some bad things doesn't leave a bad effect behind right away, they will take time till the effects show up. Since we r humans and we should be wise enough to realize this fact, why do we waste our life doing a bad thing and realizing it will have a bad effect? it sounds like throwing myself from the 10th floor and hoping that I'm not gonna die. Also, there are some bad habits that leave harmful effects on the body like smoking and drinking. The government set rules for both to limit them. that implies that they are both bad things to be done in almost everywhere. Some people may think they both are still OK and we can keep smoking and drinking. However, we already know their bad effects on the body. Some people may say that they help them chill and have fun and also make them feel better. That could be true but not always. Why do we need something that helps us feel better but in the same time it damages our bodies? Isn't there any other drinks we can have that instead helps the body to function well during the day and also we feel better after drinking them? About smoking, the cigarette is made of tar, so if i put some tar in a plate, would anyone eat it? then how come its OK to smoke it and not to eat it? either ways, the tar in the plate and the tar in the cigarette both harm the body. I hope you people get my point. I’m sorry if i offended anyone here, i say everything here to myself before anyone else. I'm done for now with talking a person doing bad things to himself/herself. Then we have a person doing bad things to the others. I believe most people who got a heart agree with me that we shouldn't let anyone who do a bad thing to others decide on his/her own because his decision may harm others. That's why we arrest criminals and we put them in jail. We take their freedom to decide because they made a bad decision that affected others. Freedom is not to do whatever you want. Freedom is your right do right things as long as they leave good effects either on u or on the community. For example, freedom of speech is nice in a way anyone can express their opinions without any differences but it is not good to say bad words and say that's my freedom of speech, because this way it is not right to say bad words to others since it leaves a bad effect.

كيف ننصر نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم؟

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على نبينا وحبيبنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آل وصحبه ومن تبعهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين

أما بعد...

لم أشاهد الفلم المسيئ ولا أنوي مشاهدته فماذا أتوقع من شخص حاقد على الإٍسلام لما فيه من الخير والفلاح

كلامي هنا أوجهه إلى إخوتي في الله...

هذه ليست أول مرة ولن تكون آخر مرة يتم التعرض لسيرة نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم بالسب والشتم والتلفقيات والإفتراءات, ولكنا يعلم ذلك, ولكني استغرب من اننا لا نفعل سوى التنديد والشجب والاستنكار, وقد يصل بعضنا الى السب والشتم, كل ذلك نصرة لنبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم.

سؤالي هنا: لماذا لا ننصر رسولنا صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا عندما يتعرض أحد لسيرته العطرة صلى الله عليه وسلم؟

لماذا نحن أمّة رد فعل, ولسنا الفعل؟

ألم نفعل ذلك مع الدنمارك؟ ألم نكن نتكلم عن قطع علاقتنا بهم وعن مقاطعتنا لمنتجاتهم؟ فما بالنا لا زلنا نستورد منتجاتهم بل ونستخدمها في حياتنا اليومية؟ 

أنصرت نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما هي غضبة ساعة؟

ثم, من قال أن نصرة نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم تكون بهذا الشكل؟

أين نحن من قراءة وفهم واستعياب ثم اتباع سيرته العطرة صلى الله عليه وسلم؟

أين نحن من المبادرة وأخذ زمام الأمور والإنجازات في جميع المجالات؟ أليس هذا من نصرة نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ أليس هذا من نشر رسالته التي جاء بها؟

لم يفت على شهر رمضان المبارك حوالي الشهر تقريبا, فأين نحن من الدروس المستفادة منه؟ ألم نتعلم كيفية نصرة رسولنا صلى الله عليه وسلم من شهر رمضان؟ أم انه كان رد فعل لحضور شهر رمضان فقط؟

لماذا عندما نقع في الشر نلوم غيرنا ولا نبدأ بأنفسنا؟

هل كان أعداءنا سيستفزّونا لو كانوا يعلمون منّا قوة؟

ثم, ما هذه المقاطعة العجيبة الغريبة؟ كل شخص منّا يعمل لنا قوائم بالمنتجات التي يجب علينا مقاطعتها وكل شخص يأتي بقائمة قد تختلف قليلا عن قوائم غيره.

من أعطاكم الحق كي تقولوا لنا ماذا نقاطع وماذا نشتري؟ 

ثم, هل هذه القوائم معتمدة من حكومة البلد نفسه؟ أم انها قائمة عملتها بنفسك وانت من اعتمدتها؟

ما هكذا تكون المقاطعة!

نحن أمة فينا ضعف وهوان لذلك نستورد ولا نصّدر ولا نصنّع ولا ننتج, فهل سنستطيع ان نقاطع جميع المنتجات مرة واحدة؟ 

هل هناك شخص يستطيع ترك جميع معاصيها مرة واحدة ويستمر على ذلك طيلة حياته؟ فكيف تطلبون المستحيل وانتم لا تفعلوه؟

أنا أرى أنه كي تكون هناك مقاطعة فعليه, يجب ان تتحد كلمتنا بداية على منتج واحد نستطيع ان نستغني عنه ولا نحتاجه كي نعيش. 

متى فعلنا ذلك ونجحنا به, نستطيع ان نقاطع منتجاً تلو المنتج حتى تتم المقاطعة وتستمر.

أما اذا كان المنتج من ضروريات الحياة, فعلينا أن نبحث عن البديل قبل المقاطعة,. متى ما وجدنا البديل, نقاطع المنتج المستورد. 

أما إذا لم يكن هناك بديل, فتلك فرصة لنا كي ننتجه وما يمنعنا من ذلك سوى الكسل والتواكل.

إن كنت فعلا تريد نصرة نبينا صلى الله عليه وسلم, فعليك بالتعقّل لا التهوّر

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.

أسماء ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان

استغرب كثيرا ممن ينادي الناس بأسماء ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان, واستغرب أكثر ممن ينادي الناس بأسماء دون أن يفقه معناها. اذكر مرة كنت في اليمن راكباً حافلة وكان بجانبي شخص لا أعرفه. كان يتحدث عن السلفيين وكيف انه يختلف معهم وكيف انه ضد السلفية. فاستغربت منه ذلك فقررت أن أرد عليه. سألته: هل تتبع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ وهل تتبع صحابته؟ قال: نعم. قلت: اذن انت سلفي. ألست ممن تتبع السلف الصالح؟ قال: نعم. فرددت عليه: اذن انت سلفي, فما بالك تتكلم عن السلفية بتلك الطريقة وانت منهم؟

لماذا نسمى بالسنة؟ أليس ذلك لأننا أهل السنة والجماعة نتبع كتاب الله وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟

هل هذا خطأ؟ أكان الواجب علينا اتباع شخص مختلف او منهج مغاير؟

يجب على كل شخص ان يكون عالما بما يتفوه والا فليحتفظ بمعلومته لنفسه ان لم يكن متأكداً منها, فعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن 

رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: (من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيراً أو ليصمت) رواه البخاري ومسلم

أما من يتلفظ بمصطلحات  ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان, فمثلا تجد بعض الناس ينادوننا بالوهابية  وكأننا أصحاب دين جديد, وحاشا لله أن نكون كذلك فنحن نؤمن بما أنزل على سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وأتحدى أي شخص أن يثبت عليّ انني أؤمن بغير ذلك. 

نحن مسلمين والحمد لله وديننا علمّنا الا نتبّع اي شخص في كل تصرفاته ونقلده تقليداً أعمى فكل مسؤول محاسب أمام الله أولا ثم أمام أمته .

لسنا كبعض من يتهموننا بالعداء للإسلام وهم لا يفقهون شئ في دينهم, بل ويتبعون أشخاصاً لا أعرف من خولّهم بنقل الدين للناس!

اللهم ثبتّنا على الحق واهد جميع المسلمين واهد جميع من يسئ الظن بأخيه المسلم.

تساؤلات رمضانية

ما أحلى شهر رمضان. شهر فضيل وشهر رائع واعتبر نفسي من المحظوظين ان الله بلّغني رمضان. لكن هل هذا هو كل ما علينا    فعله؟ ان نهنئ بعضنا بقدوم رمضان ونقوم بعمل العادات "الرمضانية" المستلهكة؟ لاحظت اشياء كثيرة في هذا الشهر واعتبرها امور غريبة لأنها لا تزال تحدث حتى ونحن في رمضان! لن أكتب تفاصيل كثيرة ولكن سأطرح هذه الأشياء على شكل تساؤلات واللبيب 

بالإشارة يفهم

السؤال الأول: لماذا تجد بعض الناس أكثر كلامه وتعليقاته عن الطعام، وكأننا كنا عايشين في مجاعة طيلة العام؟

السؤال الثاني: لماذا تجد بعض الناس يتكلمون عن المسلسلات في هذا الشهر الفضيل مع أنهم يستطيعون مشاهدتها بعد الشهر الفضيل؟

السؤال الثالث: لماذا تجد بعض الناس لا يسلم الناس من ألسنتهم إلا قبل الغروب؟

السؤال الرابع: لماذا تجد بعض الناس "محلك سر" في رمضان؟

السؤال الخامس: لماذا تجد بعض الناس يتكلم عن بلده أو حاكمه أكثر مما يتكلم عن دينه؟

تساؤلات شغلت ولا زالت تشغل ذهني ولم أجد لها إجابات منطقية. 

سأدع المجال لكم لكي تجيبوا على هذه الاسئلة وأتمنى أن تصل رسالتي إلى من أقصد.  

Ramadan, the holy month

Thank god Ramadan has finally come and we are blessed with such month. i made a promise to myself and i always do every Ramadan, that this Ramadan will be the start of the new me. i admit i get weak when Ramadan passes by. however this Ramadan i will work my best to have a new start from now on. this is a great chance for us to judge our actions and see how closer we are getting to Allah. So many people wonder about Ramadan and what it is and why it is a must to fast. its a test like any other tests for Muslims to see if they r doing good or not. however this test is very hard. we are always ordered to do the halal action and to avoid the haram action. in Ramadan, we are order not to do some halal stuffs, like eating, drinking and having pleasure with our wives. the test is so hard as u can see and the one who passes this should be able to pass the other tests. if u can give up the halal for the sake of Allah, why don't u give up the haram also for the sake of Allah? lets look at our lives this way. i wonder why some people give up eating and drinking, yet nothing in their habits changed. still same old people, like nothing happened. who said Ramadan is to give up eating and drinking only? we cud do that anytime, we don't need a specific month for it. Ramadan is not only for that, so why some people don't get the lesson behind fasting Ramadan? why some people get much ruder in Ramadan? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite? can u imagine fasting Ramadan around almost naked girls and messed up guys? can u imagine fasting and walking around looking at people eating and drinking in front of u? can u imagine fasting in summer, when the weather is hot and the day is longer? That's the life some people have in the west. look at these many tests we Muslims face here in the west. if u really can handle all that, different tests coming to u at once, then i wonder why its hard to handle tests when your having a normal life. i hope everyone, including myself, to put this in our minds so from now on we cud face any test. we live here with non Muslims but we should always show them respect as long as they r harming us. some of them are not aware that we r fasting so i hope some of us wont take it personally when they see a non Muslim person eating or drinking in front of them. its also a great chance to let them know that we r fasting, I'm sure some of them would be curious to know. lets do our best in Ramadan and hope for everyone of us to obtain Allah’s forgiveness and avoidance from the hell fire.

Syria - a story of survival

I kept thinking about what to say to Syria and about Syria. I checked both Facebook and Twitter and both seem to be actively involved in discussing and broadcasting all materials regarding the Syrian Revolution. I admit that I didn't participate actively in that because seriously I have no clue on what to do. It's clear to a wise person that Syria needs to be liberated, but how? This is what I'm trying to figure out. But before I figure it out, I got some questions in mind. Why does the US government kicks in with comments to everything that goes on in the Middle East? Isn't it about time for the US government to stop butting in our business and go deal with its business? Why do they think that their comments are heard and significant? I started to hate these two names because of how many I hear them everyday: Obama and Clinton. For god sake, give us a break. Obama, continue singing and I suggest that you need to dance too, that will help you get elected, I'm sure. Clinton, whatever you're saying is not heard because it's nonsense. Since when you guys are the leaders of peace? since the attacks of Afghanistan? Iraq? I see the news about these two countries and It doesn't sound like they are living in peace, so STOP FOOLING US because it's not working anymore.

To all Arab countries, what are you waiting for? A signal from outside? Do we have to have the Ottoman empire revived to do all the dirty job for us? When will we get our hands dirty and get our rights the harsh way since it's not working the peaceful way? When will we stop discussing the issue of Syria like we are a bunch of ladies? When will we take back our title of "men" and liberate Syria?

What are we afraid of? Death? Hello! death is coming and taking everyone with it. Since we are all gonna day someday, why not discuss the way we prefer to die with?

I conclude with this statement: Tell me your preferred way of drying, I will tell you who you are.
