Bloggers Block!

...I have it!

So, like, its not a 'block' where all bloggers get together and discuss their latest rants - though it could be - I mean why not? - but its like a writers block and I don't have anything to blog about! However, in saying that, I've just written three lines and I'm still talking, or, erm, writing.

I blog every Mondays - I've scheduled it in my diary - and its a good habit I've formed - so that's why, even though I don't have a specific topic for today, I'm still here blogging - it's become my Monday habit and to not do it on a Monday - well it just feels wrong now!

Sometimes you all do get lucky and there may be more posts during the week - but we stick to Mondays - its a blessed day - well every day is a blessed day if you (we) wake up alive - we should give thanks that we woke up alive and we have another day to do some more good and ask forgiveness for any wrong.

***Reflection Moment***

We haven't had one of these for a while have we?

OK, so, for today's post I invite you all (and myself) to have a 'Reflection Moment'!

This is your moment (or mine) and reflect upon whatever you want to reflect upon.

Sometimes its good just to think and ponder and reflect and not talk - or write.

So I'm going to sign off for this week and leave you all to 'Reflect' on your chosen reflection piece.

Oh, by the way - ***Monday 28th March*** - two ***BIG things*** happening - a very special day *ahem - hint* and also launch of something spectacular!

You'll hear/read about it here on Monday 28th March - so, don't go nowhere!!! :D

Don't Hate - Time to Rate!

...In recent months I have come across a lot of issues which involve people hating on one another - and before you say; 'that's an old phenomenon turBo!' - I agree with you - but are we going to continuously live like this? Who is to blame? History? That's long gone and it's up to us to make our present positive and sow the seeds for a better future.

As a Muslim I've studied my religion a lot - since I was 14 - I have always been close to God, from a tiny age - but 14 was the age when I decided to tread the path of Islam and become a spiritual, religious and holistic human being.

My motto in life is; 'Justice and Fairness' and I shall forever be a student of knowledge and I'm a people person.

In Islam we learn that there is no compulsion in religion and neither is there any rules or protocols promoting or condoning mobbish and thuggish behaviour!

If I don't know something I will say; 'I don't know!' and since I'm an extremely passionate being (you know turBo is all about 150% Excel Mode!) I will go out and research, talk to different people about that particular subject or topic and then draw my own conclusions. If i don't know something, then I will leave it out - I mean, why cause more brain pain, when my energy could be used for something more concrete and constructive.

Yet there are many people out there who are ready to harm another human being because their views are different, because they don't understand the topic and you know what - its their ego and arrogance!

Wasn't the devil thrown out of Paradise because he was arrogant and he wouldn't obey God's command of bowing to Adam, saying that he, the devil, was made from fire, whilst Adam was made of clay.

Too many haters out there in the world - too many amongst the Muslims as well! Too many who feel that they know better than the Scholars and who even have the audacity to hand a fellow brother a 'death threat'? Why? Because you didn't agree with the opinions and views and you decided to take matters into your own hands?!

The end is definitely near! These sad low life individuals really need to take a closer look at their lives and stop wasting it by ruining others lives and make something of their own lives - for there will be a lot for us all to account for on the Final Day.

Go back to the Book and the Teachings - and if we claim to be upon it then we need to follow it and not follow our whims and desires.

The negative actions of such people are truly inspired by the whisperings of the evil of their own souls.

Its not too late to change ourselves and be the people who we are meant to be.

Don't Hate - Time to Rate. Live and Let Live!

Instant Boost of Energy

...Big Goals, Big Vision, Big Dreams!

Started the year with 'Great Intentions' and working hard to make my dreams a reality.

60 days into 2011 (almost 60 days dude) - a lot has been accomplished walhamdulilah - yet have been frustrated because of lack of energy, tiredness and exhaustion. Feel that I have let my soul down and let Allah down as I have big dreams to make it like the 'Pious Predecessors' and I know that by the grace and mercy of Allah (swt) I have been able to achieve all that I have ever wanted to achieve in life and am truly blessed to be who I am - I'm free to be myself.

So, today, whilst mopping around 'complaining' to my friend on BBM (Blackberry Messenger) that I'm tired and exhausted and need a break - I get two instant reminders - one from my boss - the GM of Mercy Mission - where in his email he quoted;

..."Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your youth, before you become old; and your health, before you fall sick; and your richness, before you become poor; and your free time before you become busy; and your life, before your death." [Ahmad]

And then whilst pondering this saying of the Prophet (pbuh) I came across another instant booster - this from a Sheikh of AlKauthar Institute - via his facebook status - where he quoted a verse from the Qur'an;

..."My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)." THQ 46:15

...and whilst I need a quick break (Tuesday is an official day off in the month for me) I've been instantly uplifted by these two reminders and am back on full 150% Excel Mode turBo flow!

I hope these verses and sayings benefit you as they did me - and if you have any more reminders and boosters then hollah them my way! :)

Our Life...

...'they' say that, 'When you laugh the world laughs with you but when you cry, you cry alone.'

Our hearts will break and we'll be left confused in chains.

But only we can pick up the broken pieces and only we can fix the jigsaw puzzle to our lives.

Life, as we see it, is a long tough road ahead...

...But believe in Allah (swt) and we will never go wrong

He will put us through many trials and tests in our lives,

But the reward of the aftermath is happiness, joy and His Paradise.
