Back to University!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the absence of posts. Its been a busy time getting ready for the big day at university tommorrow. Its kind of scary and exciting at the same time.
Sometimes its disappointing to see Muslim youth waste away their time talking about random, meaningless things. I can understand (but not justify) if its done once in a while but some people have seem to made a habit out of it. Ask these guyz to compare Lindsay Lohan vs. Hillary Duff, and you will a detailed enough answer to do a Ph.D. on the topic. But ask them about the upcoming elections in Iraq, and you will get a long, blank stare as if you asked them to explain the theory of relativity. I'm not sure as to the reasons for such behavior.
I wish they would wake up and realize that now is the time to work in Allah's way before they get caught up in the worldly affairs. I believe very few people do Islamic work after they are married if they have never done it before. It makes sense that if a person did not bother doing it in their free time, he/she obviously would not bother when they have become busy.
Maybe working in Allah's way is too much to ask of them at this stage. I suppose the most realistic thing would be for them to just attain the maturity to realize that these meaningless tasks will neither help them in this life or the hereafter.
" Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts..................." (al-anaam v:70)
