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……….

Fasting.

The joy of fasting, is something that will be experienced and felt only by those who fast.It feel much more rewarding than eating a dish.It takes us above our desires and temptations and makes us realize that desires and temptations cannot rule our mind..But we base our desires and temptations with in Islamic principles and values.

And as the days of this holy month is passing by, let's strive harder to make the most of it.

Every new day takes us one step closer to death

Yesterday gone, tomorrow faraway……..only an anticipation


Another day begins……….


As you open your eyes……..


First thing what comes to your mind?


First thing what do you hasten to do?


Do you stop for a second?


To think, to take a break!


Do you wonder about the fact that you lay half unconscious and now you are up on your feet?


Do you just start running?


With the thought who cares? Here I come!


Do you wonder?


Why, How!


how the universe goes on in the same pattern…….


Life goes on………


At last the day comes to an end……


What did you gain!


What did you learn!


What did you think!


Whose hand did you hold!


Which path did you take!


A day comes and a day passes by!


Would you let today be just another day


Even after knowing for sure it takes you only a step closer to death..


Wouldn’t you take a break and think !

Ramadan Mubaarik

Ramadan is a month in which Allah’s numerous blessings flow…hence with the beginning of Ramadan we are blessed with another chance, another chance to become a better Muslim ,a better human being…It’s the time to let go of all negative feelings ,to lend a helping hand….this is the time to strive hard to be a Muslim. To get the spiritual and physical benefit of fasting we should not only avoid food, but should not waste most time sleeping or in amusements…we should thank Allah, worship Allah, help those in need, avoid envy, jealousy backbiting …., learn more about Islam and share what you learn with others and it’s the time to make our hearts pure…What we should try is not to pass time, but to try to make use of each second, each minute of this blessed month worshipping Allah.

Wish all a blessed month of Ramadan..
