Thinking of the future

Sense of humor is one of the most precious gifts of God. Yet some of us are badly in need of it. We often see people importuning in the streets and we ask 'em- "Why are you begging, can't you go and just work?" We fail to consider the fact that people don't beg for fun. More often than not it is a last resort for most.

We never once consider how in the world they were to do anything except for begging. Where is our sense of humor? Why do we scold at 'em? Is it our concern to wonder about what could they do and what should they be doing? Should we not seriously try and change the situation and act like civil people instead of pointing fingers at 'em? We don't know their intention, do we? Then whats the point in arguing with people about their intentions?

We should really look at ourselves instead. And check what our intentions are. Whenever a beggar knocks your car's window can you put your hand on your heart and say you don't get annoyed? Don't worry, if your answer is "no", cause I feel annoyed too. But we should change our mindset and stop treating them like dirt. Cause in countries like Bangladesh these people are the majority of the population.

Rich children will anyhow find their ways, but do we realize what will happen to these poor children? They are the majority, and it is upon us to educate them.

And what education am I talking about? A,B,C,D,E,F,G..............and that's it?

No these children should be educated inside out, so that they can lead this country in the future. When can someone lead a country properly?

Simple. When one has a better understanding of his religion. And it is especially true about Muslims, if we look at the Islamic caliphate we we would see how impeccably the Caliphs had ruled in the bygone era.

If they could do it then these children in the future can do the same too. Only if we could nurture them properly. If these children are given the proper understanding of the teachings of Islam, then we are sure to succeed in all the facets of life.

know what are you living?

Most don't actually know their belief to be honest. I am not talking about true belief. I am not going that far, but they don't even have the simple belief or something to that effect. We believe in a God who is ever forgiving and of course it is one of His attributes. But we often forget that He is also stern in punishment. So what we do is we always take the one and ignore the other. I was listening to Radio the other day, and some RJ was being annoyingly talkative, the topic was "rain". So you know there comes an sms from some random girl who says she would like to be drenched with her boy friend in rain. And to finish it off she said InshAllah. So that's the belief I am talking about. She has a longing for a dark desire and yet she is wanting Allah's will in this! How pathetic.

I'm not denouncing anyone, so please don't get me wrong. I am just trying to portray our situation as Muslims. My outcry to all of you is whatever you are-a Buddhist, Christian, Jew or Muslim. Know your faith, and if you don't know your faith then at least try to know about it. If, however, you don't want to learn about your faith then without a doubt it's not a true faith and in that case you should not affiliate yourself with the community you are in until you have a basic understanding of it.

World cup finaL 2010 South Africa: Spain vs the Netherlands

Whats wrong with these people? Do they even keep up with the world cup matches? I was reading an article by one of the most famous Bangladeshi soccer stars, Kazi Salahuddin. He was saying if the match goes down to tiebreakers then Netherlands have a strong chance to beat Spain. I was like when pigs fly!

I mean doesn't he know that Spain is the only team which has the likes of Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes sitting on the side bench?


And their main stand in the goal bar is Igar Cassillas, who is one of the best goalies in the world right now. I want to remind you all that he saved the day against Paraguay by making that crucial penalty save.

I don't say Netherlands don't have a chance to win this game. But I don't suppose their chances are any higher than Spain to come out as winners if the match goes down to the wires.

The fairy tale of an Octopus

World cup soccer always comes with something different. And this time we have a crazy German octopus who makes prediction about possible results of the game. And the scary thing is its prediction has been scarily accurate!

Being a Muslim I don't believe this octopus has any knowledge of the unseen. These are just coincidences. And people are sure to make an issue out of it. I urge you all not to buy this nonsense. How can an Octopus make prediction? Isn't it ridiculous?


Lol.Well tonight I badly prayed for Uruguay so that they prove this "Octopus prediction" wrong. But unfortunately it didn't happen, after a lot of drama they came out as losers.


It was really tragic. First the scoreline was 1-0 for Germany, then 1-1, then 2-1 for Uruguay, 2-2 Germany equalized, and finally 3-2 for Germany. The final drama happened at the 90th minute when Uruguay won a direct free kick. And the free kick was taken by the Uruguayan hero Diego Forlan. And the shot hit the upright!

At one point I thought Uruguay is gonna win but their luck overtook them.

Bangladesh vs England

At long last Bangladesh beat England in any form of Cricket. It was a hard earned victory. I thought Bangladesh would lose cause it was getting really tough to keep the Batsmen in check. Jonathan Trot scored 96 not out, yet England lost!

Bangladesh really played brilliantly today. They fought, fought and finally they beat England. The new skipper Mashrafi Bin Murtaza took 2 wickets, and he performed just at the right time.


I don't know what will happen in the remaining matches. But at least now we can say that Bangladesh have beaten all test playing nations. However, I doubt their consistency. Bangladesh have never shown consistency in anything. Today they play well and do terribly tomorrow.

Bangladeshi cricket team knows how to play. The problem is they don't know how to win. So they must keep on winning. I suppose today's win could be a good one for a start. And I hope this continues.

My Best wishes to the Bangladesh Cricket team.

Just do it folks.


Cheers.
