Something to think about...

Funny How...
By Muhammad Al-Bahithe
Something to think about...
- Funny how a $20 bill looks so big when you take it to Mosque, but so small when you take it to the market.
- Funny how long it takes to do Dhikr for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
- Funny how long a couple of hours spent at Mosque are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
- Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
- Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a "Taraweeh" during Ramadan is longer than the regular time.
- Funny how hard it is to read a Part in the Qur'an, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
- Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back row at mosque so that scramble out.
- Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a Mosque event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
- Funny how hard it is for people learn a simple preaching well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
- Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Qur'an says.
- Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything.
- Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
Are you laughing?
Are you thinking?
Spread the Word and give thanks to Allah for He is Good & Merciful!

A Sheikh's Clever Response Regarding Muslim Women

British Man and the Sheikh

A British man came to Sheikh and asked: Why is it not permissible in Islam for women to shake hands with a man?

The Sheikh said: Can you shake hands with Queen Elizabeth?

British man said: Of course not, there are only certain people who can shake hands with Queen Elizabeth.

Sheikh replied: our women are queens and queens do not shake hands with strange men.

Then the British man asked the Sheikh: Why do your girls cover up their body and hair?

The Sheikh smiled and got two sweets. He opened the first one and kept the other one closed. He threw them both on the dusty floor and asked the British: If I asked you to take one of the sweets which one will you choose?

The British replied: The covered one.

The Sheikh said: that’s how we treat and see our women.

Tawaqqul --> Tie your Camel First!

One day Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it.

He asked the Bedouin... "Why don't you tie down your camel?"

The Bedouin answered~ "I put my trust in Allah."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)  then said:-  "Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah" (Tirmidhi)

Just Like Quran said, "Deaf, Dumb & Blind"

Comic Relief: Exhaustive Job Search !

Below is an example of one man's unrelenting journey into the world of work...

Like they say, 'Laughter is the best medicine'... So, this is your medicine now. Enjoy!


1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn't Concentrate {!}

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the Axe !

3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it --mainly because it was a Sew Sew Job !

4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too Exhausting !

5. Then, tried being a Chef -figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the Thyme !

6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it.... couldn't cut the mustard.

7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't Noteworthy...!

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't have any Patience !

9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.

10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income !

11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining !

12. So then I got a job in a Workout Centre, but they said I wasn't fit for the job...!

13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a Historian -until I realized there was no future in it !

14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind.

15. SO... I TRIED RETIREMENT ! ...AND... I FOUND I'M PERFECT...FOR THE JOB ! [LOL]
