Impermanence

I have come to a point where I realize how temporary everything is. There have been things that I thought would be a permanent in my life but things can change within one instant. Is it a bad thing? For the most part, yes. You can have somebody is the closest to you, a person you speak with every day and within one day, you can lose them forever. When I moved to California, I thought that I was going to be living there indefinitely; I did not think that I would ever move back to Virginia but a little bit over two years later, I was back. I thought that I would always want to keep my house here in Oak Hill, VA but I am so okay with moving out of it.

All of this scares me so much, how little control we have in our lives. We have to remember that Allah (swt) controls everything, there is not a thing out His control. This life is temporary, every moment that we have in one that we will never have again so make the most of it.

Money

Something that we all want, something that we all need . Yes, money is great. We need it to live a comfortable life and progress but it is one of the most dangerous things a person or people can get. It is very true what they say, money does change people. I used to be so into the lifestyle that comes from having a lot of money. By the grace and mercy of God, my family has been blessed financially. This is something I certainly take for granted. I have always wanted a lavish lifestyle. I wanted to live in a huge ocean-view mansion. There is nothing wrong with wanting a nice lifestyle, Islam doesn't discourage having this kind of life but I wanted it for the wrong reasons. I used to have a lot of arrogance and wanted to be a person with a lot of money who thought they were better than everybody else. I saw myself as somebody who would make a lot of money and then eventually get married. I am so happy that is not how things have turned out so far. I know that if I had made a lot o...

I'm (Almost) Done watching WWE

I have been watching wrestling consistently every week for about 11 1/2 years now. I still remember the first show I watched in November of 1999. I saw Degeneration X beat up Test and break his nose. I saw The Rock but I don't remember what exactly he did but I was hooked from that first show. A friend of mine had asked me earlier that day about wrestling and I pretended like I watched it and just along with it. He kept on quoting The Rock and when I got home from school, I started quoting The Rock too. My brother said that I don't even watch WWF so I shouldn't be quoting the wrestlers so in an effort to validate myself, I started watching and have not stopped. Wrestling used to be so entertaining. The personalities were so defined and the storyline was enthralling. Around 2002, it started to get a little bit worse but overall, still entertaining. It was still fun to watch up until around 2009. Wrestling for me was more than a show. It's no secret that I was bulli...

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

People want to be rich, it's a given fact. Even if you aren't materialistic or shallow, I am confident that every single person wants to be wealthy if for nothing else, so that they can life comfortably. The wealthy/rich people tend to have more fun in their lives; what does their life consist of? A lot of parties, alcohol, probably drugs and sex. They have disposable income so it's easy for them to attain all of these things. I am sure doing these things and having that lifestyle is fun but it's one of those things that you get tired of. I strongly believe that the rich have a social responsibility to be the 'good examples.' Now wealthy people are stereotyped, they are shown to have big and clean homes, listen to classical music, dress properly, etc., these are the good things that lifestyle brings. The problem arises when life is all about having fun with your money and living life like it's one big party. The more money you have, the more good you should...
