Asalaamu alikum wa rag matullah hi wa barakatu...
Peace& Blessings upon you all...
its been an intersting sort of week... i wonder what the world is going to be like post GW Bush?
Is barrack Obama going to be any different?
i wonder?
Politics... very interesting????
Nontheless... life goes on and hujjaj will come and hujjaj will go... but the the GReatness of Allah SWT will never diminish... Jumuah Mubarak to you all... May Allah SWT Guide and protect us all,iA...
BARRACKOBAMA &the SCRUmPTUOSBANNANA!!!!
YES WE CAN!!! this was the slogan that made Mr Obama's campaign trial... and listening to his victory speech and some of his others... he beleives that that change is innevitable... and if everybody puts a little effort into making the change a reality... then anything is possible... and hence his saying...YES WE CAN!!!
So the other day whilst driving home... i saw this bannana i had my lunch box... ... i had ignored it all day long... to lazy to peel the damn thing... and to be honest it looked a little banged up.. abd black spots allover... i was going to leave it their ... BUT THEn i picked it up... and began to peel the fella... WOW... the smell it gave off was... for a lack of a better word... intoxicating!!! And no sooner had i bit into it... another WOW!!! ... my tongue had never felt so alive... ... sweet... sweet... delicious... and oh so scruptuous!!!
and as i sat there enjoying my bannana.. i thought to myself... what if i didnt take the effort to peel away the skin... i would have missed the oppertunity to embrace this sweetest of sweet bannan's...
i then i thought of President Obam's statement..." Yes we can!" ... if we want to see results we gonna havta put in the effort... And then i was reminded of the lecture by a sheigh in his Lives of the prohets series... and more particularly the story of Prophet Moosa (AS) ... when Moosa (AS) was being pursued by Fir'oun... and he came up to the SEA... and all hope semed gone... and then Allah SWT ordered him to hit the Water ... and well we all no what happened next...
Bismillah hhiragmanniragheem...
" 77. And indeed We revealed to Musa: "Travel by night with My servants and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken nor being afraid.'') [ Quraan: Surah Ta Ha: 77]
the learned sheigh goes on to explain what the significance of Moosa (AS) striking the sea was... for certianly Allah Swt didnt need him to Hit the sea... if Allah Swt wanted the sea to part... Allah swt could of done it... The sheigh explains that the reason for that was to show us that we all have to put some effort in if we are seeking change... and do good... if we are seeking Allah Swt's help... We have to give our all.. AND place our trust solely in Allah SWT.. and we have to do it with YAQIN.. a certain conviction...
whatever we are faced with inlife...their will be times of uncertainty... and fear... when our human insticnts tell us that NO WE CANT... AND ALL HOPE SEEMS LOST... but we need not fear rejection or persecution or failure... we need not be shy or embarrased ... we cannot turn away from who we are... and what we still have to do... We are muslim...
so work hard... and place your TRUST IN ALLAH SWT... AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW!!
"YES weCAN" ...
So i guess the next time you eat a bannana ... think..ponder... and if you want... reflect upon the signs that Allah SWT.. has provided for us.
wicky wicky...
fluit fluit...

ps3: origin of Guy Fawes day... This "Gunpowder Plot" occurred two years after King James I (of the "King James Bible" fame) ascended to the throne. A group of English Catholics, of which Guido Fawkes was a member, decided to kill the King because it was felt he had reneged on his promises to stop the persecution of Catholics. To this day, it is the law in Britain that a Roman Catholic cannot hold the office of monarch and the Queen is still Supreme Head of the Church of England... coutesy of http://www.voiceforthevoiceless.org.za/guy_fawkes.htm
