Are you perfect?

We all mistakes. Infact it is not possible to be error free or to avoid mistakes.Or to put it another way no one is perfect.

But what matters is what did we learn from our mistakes or error? Have we learned the lesson or are we analyzing it and trying to avoid it for the second time.You don’t have to make a mistake every time to learn a lesson.But if you learn the lesson from it and do not repeat your mistakes then there is not much to lose I suppose.But if you keep repeating your mistakes, that means you are not aware you are committing a mistake or that means you just don’t care.Either way its only you who will have to pay the price of your mistakes, its you who will have to face the consequences SOONER or LATER.

Just as a new born learn new things every day, so does we adults.It may not be every day for us.But certain events that happen in our life and in the people around us, we should learn from it.Everything in life happens for a reason and there is meaning , something to learn in the events of life.

Hence the question is not how many times you erred.The question is did you learn from your mistakes or have we repented?

It is nothing but a destroyer.

It is nothing but a destroyer,

A destroyer of relationships

A destroyer of family ties.

A destroyer of unity

A destroyer of peace.

A destroyer of many a homes.

Yet many of us find it as a companion.

We always find pleasure in holding hands with this destroyer.

Seeking pleasure in its destruction.

Giving it another name perhaps.

Pretending that we are doing nothing but talking the truth.

Yet we do it in the most destructive way.

In the behind of others, in hiding.

Its called backbiting.

Eid Mubaarik

Ramazan has come and gone.And Eid is knocking on the doors.

What we learned during Ramazan and what we will carry forth, the choice lies with in us.And here is the time to celebrate.Here is the time to express joy of having completed Ramazan appropriately Insha Allah.

Eid Mubaarik to all Muslim brothers and sisters.

If tomorow never comes.

What we know is only a little.

What we can do is only a little.

What we can see is only a little.

What we can hear is only a little.

In the huge universe with numerous living creatures,
each of us is only like a fish in a huge ocean.

Yet for us our world rotates around us only.

We feel our pain, we cry at our losses, we feel happy at certain times.

We see the world around us.

Do you ever wonder why,
why we are in this universe.

Do you ever wonder why,
the sun rises from east every day and sets from the west every day.

Life goes on.

A life breathes its first drop of air
at the same time a life passes its last breath.

So goes life.

We are here only as a test,
to worship Allah SWA.

Lets not wait till tomorrow,
cos what will happen
If tomorrow never comes

15th of Ramazan

Ramazan is half way through.

How much are we making use of the holy month of Ramazan……

It’s the month in which observant Muslims fast for Allah SWA.

It’s the month during which Allah’s numerous blessings flows.

It’s the month in which all evil Jinns are shackled

It’s the month in which all Muslims are encouraged to read the entire Quran.

It’s the month in which all Muslims should strive to be a better Muslim.

It’s the month in which all Muslims should learn more about Islam.

It’s the month in which all Muslims pay Zakaath, obligatory charity …which is one of the pillars of Islam…..

It is also the month in which Quran was brought down

This all adds up to the specialty of this month…….Anyone who does not make use of this holy month should think twice…..should think again…………

Eating good and healthy food during Ramazan is something Muslims should do and it is better if we share the food with relatives and give to the needy…

Food should never be wasted during Ramazan or during any other month……..

People have a tendency to waste food during Ramazan, However we should try to avoid this.

Muslims should not spend half of the day sleeping when they are fasting….

The aim of ones fast is minimized when one spends half the day sleeping……….feeling no hunger…..

Muslims should not give in to temptations of the Shaythaan or to the desires of the mind either especially during the month of Ramazan. Contentment from breaking the fast comes, when we perform obligatory prayers, control negative emotions and feelings in us…......

The feeling of contentment during the moment in which Muslims break fast is indescribable

The satisfaction and the feel of achievement that comes after having fasted completely during Ramazan is indescribable…

We all should makeup our mind, to make the most of the month of Ramazan, not only by buying stuff, and making up our house…..(that too is a good thing as long as no wasting is done…..) .

We should not think up of ways in which we can entertain ourselves during Ramazan……

We should avoid watching TV as much as possible during Ramazan, especially unnecessary and useless stuff...Instead we should make up our mind to get the most out of this holy month……and all Muslims at the end of Ramazaan, should make up our mind to take ahead the lesson we learned from fasting for Allah SWA ….to take ahead the contentment and peace one gains from fasting during Ramazan…….to let go of negative feelings like, envy, jealousy, anger, hatred, backbiting etc……..to work solely to attain Jannah……to worship Allah, who blessed us with numerous blessings…

Nobody is indispensable

Nobody is indispensable.This is a fact of life we have to believe like we believe that no one can live for ever.Death is inevitable, likewise nobody is indispensable.Life is a series of phases, ups and downs and various changes.That’s life.

A mother and a father who looks after their child too is not indispensable.There will come a time when the child grows up and leave his or her parents .The mother who gave endless love, the father who did so much for the child.This is the way of life..A mother or father who tries to be too much attached to the child once they grow up will only harm the child rather than any good Then the process becomes reversed.ie then comes the child's turn to help the parents.

Any one who tries to portray that he is indispensable is doing nothing but denying the truth of life.…..There is no perfect man for a particular role.There will always be replacements.Every human is unique, but no one can be indispensable to a particular job.Things change, life changes.Life is a series of changes.

Have you decided?

As the day of elections is getting nearer, how many of us has decided to whom their vote will go?
Now is the time to start short listing, and refer to what each candidate has to offer, policies, background, leadership qualities etc.......

The recent Q.A Session held by think nation has played with the minds of many, in favour of whom time will tell.

While a leader with all obvious qualities of a leader may fail, that in no way means we should go for a leader with out any such qualities..and after reading the thoughts of writers, after knowing what great minds of this country think, the decision becomes very confusing.Unlike in America where they have got to choose between only two, we have to think a lot harder before we reach our decision....

However much confusing this is, it is a decision we have to make, and to begin with lets start shortlisting......

Roadhamas and E Hadhaan

What's the connection between E Hadhaan a musical show and the holy month of Ramazan?

Ramazan is not a festival......and what is their to be reminded of old or new songs during Ramazan.....It would have made more sense that if it comes during Eid..but no...

I think the hadhaan that need to be thought of during Ramazan is not these songs as if trying to convey Ramazan is a festival.

What's the connection between a bunch of songs and Ramazan know as E Hadhaan, Mi Hadhaan and thiya Hadhaan?

What is your resolution for the month of Ramazan?

Making a plan or making a resolution for the holy month of Ramazan is one way of trying to make the most of Ramazan..Your resolution or plan could range from letting go of a grudge against some one , in trying to make your prayers more regular and consistent, in trying to pray the sunnah prayers, giving charity, stop negative feelings such as jealousy, envy, backbiting, etc etc……. What is your resolution for the month of Ramazan..? and so far how is it going?

Imagine Your Death!

Imagine yourself after you pass away
Imagine your grave through night and through day
Wishing that you did not do as they say
Wishing that you had got up and had prayed.

Imagine, my friends, the day that you died
Imagine all of the tears that they cried
Remember how it felt when your body was tied
Remember how it felt in the grave which you lied.

Imagine the day you'll be called to account
Imagine the sum to which your life will amount
Think for a moment of the deeds which you mount
Think for a moment how much they will count.

What will they say of you when you are dead?
What will they say, what will be said?
Will they speak of all the poor who you fed?
Will they remember all the Qu'ran that you read?

Think not of them, but of Allah, Lord of mankind and jinn
Think of Allah when tempted to sin
Think of the paradise which you will dwell in
Don't wait till later to think what might have been.

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, "who is the fairest of them all?"

Who performed best in last night’s Q.A Session?

This question is being asked among many Maldivians today….Some people are happy with the way the candidate they support performed and some are disappointed with the way their supporting candidates performed….

In my opinion a word of appreciation should go to the organizing team of this session. It was systematic and organized and it went quite well..

As for who should my vote go for, I haven’t yet figured out yet...But last nights debate made me realize who not to vote for……..

About 2 hours before the beginning of the Q.A session on Siyaasee Fendaa DRP members tried to tell that Maumoon is coming on the same stage with other presidential candidates despite the fact all of them are inferior to Maumoon and they tried to tell that no one can out do his confidence, his talking capability etc. Maumoon Abdul Gayyoom is a man of intelligence, a man of capability, a man of confidence, he has got leadership quality...He is a religious scholar….We all know that and accept it...And thank him for what little or what big he did to this country during past 30 years…..

But the country is in need of a change..Lots and lots of change. Hence many Maldivians are keen to see another president in Maldives before their life ends...Maldivians are excited to see a new change…..not because Maumoon lacks anything...Its about Maldivians wanting a change , a better change….better wisdom, better insight, a leader who can unite the nation, a leader who can guide the nation…..

Hassan Saeed after watching last nights debate, I would say he presented himself very nicely.

And Ibra too radiated confidence, courage…….

Hassan Saeed and Ibras performance were great………and if we could see more of such sessions, it will be easy for us locals to reach a decision..Visnaashey Gaum, hope to see the next session soooon.

3rd day of Ramazan

Today is the 3^rd day of Ramazan….

With the arrival of Ramazan, the atmosphere around changs..We see many people who try to take a step towards righteousness…We see people around who tries to let go of bad deeds and instill good deeds in them……As humans we all err, and Ramazan is the perfect time to look back on our deeds, good and bad and to think where we went wrong and take a step towards righteousness……..and the challenge lies in taking with you all good you gained from Ramazan at the end of Ramazan…..not to let it go with the end of Ramazan…….Ramazan is not the only month in which Muslims should avoid bad deeds or its not the only month in which Muslims should do good deeds…..Here is just another chance from Allah SWA for us to build our faith, and strive hard to be better Muslims…….by making use of each and every minute of this holy month……….
