Umm Aysha
*Strive for Jannah*
As Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Funny how a twenty-pound note 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 90 minutes of football.
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 dont have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
Funny how we get thrilled when a football game goes on into extra time,
but we complain when Taraweeh, during Ramadaan, is extended more than the regular time.
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter of the Qur'aan,
but how easy it is to read a 100 pages of the best selling novel.
Funny how people want to get front seats at any game or concert,
but rush to get a back row at Mosque so they can exit 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 you can spread a thousand 'Jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire,
but when you start sending messages regarding Allah Ta'ala, people think twice about sharing it.
Funny how everyone wants to go Heaven,
but fail to make the least effort to achieve it.
