I am left wondering why all the people are commenting "Allah apnake jannat nazil koruk (May Allah grant you paradise)" etc under a Facebook video of a Bangladeshi model attempting to commit suicide in her room. [P.S. It's a video of a model's failed attempt at committing suicide which she happened to publish on her own Facebook profile later on - she blamed her ex boyfriend for trying to commit suicide]
[BTW, soon afterwards, she took another attempt at taking her own life and she succeeded - there is no published video of that, duh!].
Is this how we think by default about death and about our lives? That after death it's all about just white clouds, skies, pearls and paradise?

a twisted start of ramadan
sub-'han-Allah.... it's great to see everyone so pleased with their iftar on the first day of ramadan..... after all, it's summer and the days are long and hot. May Allah SWT accept all our fasting through ease and comfort.
My ramadan, however, started off a little differently... today in the morning, while getting down the stairs of my house to head out for office, i misplaced my left foot at one point and, hence, i twisted my left ankle. My doctor said i have torn off a few ligaments and i have been prescribed total bed rest for at least the next 1-2 weeks for the healing to take place properly.
Sub'-han-Allah.... looks like Allah (SWT) has made different plans for my ramadan fasting to go easy on me - by staying indoors at complete bed rest while avoiding the long hot summer days outside. May Allah SWT accept all our fasting through ease and comfort.
Take care every one. Ramadan Mubarak.

Blind faith? Or educated disbelief?
I have seen people who say to live happily and peacefully we need a college degree from a good reputed university that can publish this many researches and this many books. They say having a college degree from such an intellectually sound institution will give you peace because, then, you will be able to take EDUCATED decisions.... you don't need theistic beliefs to achieve peace.... you don't need to blindly follow the rules stated by God (someone whom you have never even seen).
Do they realize that the intellect of even the ENTIRE human race (living or dead) would not be a match against Allah's wisdom? I am not saying this blindly to say that Allah is more knowledgeable than anyone or anything. I am saying this because there are FACTS to backup my belief.
There are SEVERAL extra-ordinary things which are being discovered today. But they were already declared hundreds of years ago......... by who? By someone who researched and wrote and published an intellectually curated book? Or by someone who ACTUALLY knows about EVERYTHING till the end of the world? There were no microscopes back then. There were no microchips back then. And today, we can't do a single research without any of this.
EVEN AFTER that kind of far fetched wisdom, if people STILL question Allah's wisdom (not to learn about it but to challenge his wisdom), I can only pray for Allah to guide them.

I, in no way, mean anything against education.
