Assalaamualaikum,
I am also a red & get to use the box at Anfield on a regular basis!!!
One thing that really annoys me though is the fact that you ask majority of our brothers and sisters...Who's your idol etc...You'll hear names such as Gerrard,Beckham,Lampard,Popstars,Celebrities etc etc...
No one tends to commemorate the muslims who strived to bring Islam to us..The struggles and hardships they faced. They did not give up the work of the prohet (SAW)b We try very little to learn their history.
Another, is when your at a football ground and everyone's chanting and urging their teams to win or if someone gets injured one tends to curse!
How many of you guys have sat through a dua and Ameen is softly or barely said???
One of my teachers once said to us that "if you guys want something authorising by the school and objections are raised then what do you do?"
We replied "petition as more people that would voice their opinion would help our cause."
My teacher replied " so when you raise your hands to make dua in congregation say Ameen with enthusiasm and belief!
Apologies for the above being very short, not feeling too well today, totally drugged up! Will try and emphasise on it later (Inshallah)
I hope the above makes sense..please correct me if I'm wrong...
W/salam
good post, quite intresting..well being a red yourself do you pray your namaz at home or the masjid?Quite lucky if you get to go to Anfield. Inshallah your feeling much better then when you wrote the above..
