FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
- Funny
how a $20 bill looks so big when
you take it to the Mosque, but so small when you take it to the
market.
- Funny how
long it takes to do Zikr for an hour, but how quickly a team plays
60 minutes of basketball.
- Funny how long
a couple of hours spent at the 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 "Tarahvi" during Ramadhan is
longer than the regular time.
- Funny how hard
it is to read a Para in the Quran, 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 they can scramble out fast.
- 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 Quran 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 Allah,
people think twice about sharing.
