Guess what!!.. I'll die one day!

The Dr: "I'm sorry to tell you that you have a serious disease, your body will not be able to resist it any more!"
The patient: "OMG! :| :|, am i going to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Dr: "We will do all what in our hands to make you live the rest of your life without pain"
The patient: "How long will I live :|!!"
Dr: "We can not say such thing for sure, but from the reports i have in hand, your body can not resist more than 6 months!"
~End of story :D

Here comes a new one..
The patient thought about his life, it is going to end soon, he has nothing to do about it.. he was so sad and depressed, he hated the idea that he was dying, very sad.. the days were passing like hell.. hearing such news was the worst thing that ever happened to him, nothing can be any worse!

Another patient comes with the same story, but there is a slight difference:
Last days of mine! i need to enjoy my life!, every body has to remember my smile, the change i made in their lives, the laughters we shared, the good time and the joy we had.. I want to be remembered, i need ppl to pray for me when they remember me.. and I want to die happyyyyyyy!

This man started making his wish come true at once, he always called to check on his friends, he was there for them, went on outings and had lots of fun. did things for the first time with his beloved ones.. He enjoyed the fact that he is leaving a good memory, he enjoyed the fact that his friends will remember him with the smile he shared, he sang loudly despite his awful voice to make them laugh. he loved them, he showed that love, and was so happy to be pleased with such wonderful friends.

This feeling made him enjoy the fact that he is dying, he thought: "I never died before, why do i assume that death is a bad experience! It is my call to make it a nice one! :)"

I am currently having this attitude, as I'm leaving my company... every one is sad that I'm leaving, and this made me want to leave a good memory.. When i thought more about "Leaving" I thought about "what about death"!
My thoughts led me to thank Allaah for his bless, which is the fact that we all will die, no exceptions!.. knowing such a fact will make you, if you are wise enough, enjoy you life. You will be keen to make it a life to be remembered by others, do only what makes you pleased seeking the satisfaction of Allaaah. Every body will love you, because you are doing your best to show that love because you don't have enough time, you don't know for sure when you are dying.

Not knowing when you life ends, or when you will be leaving makes you more eager to get the max of every thing of your life in all its sides (religious, knowledge, love, family, friendship,..) all what you need to know that it will be soon, that's it.. and that's all what Allaah sub7anahu wata3ala told us about death.. Sub7ana Allaaah :)

Dying is a big motive of living well, loving others, play bowling and sing out loud to your friends :D

Al7amdulillaah for all the blesses that we could never realize without his guidance..Al7amdulillaah that we will die one day and al7amdulillaaah that we want to have the best in the hereafter :)

"The Good News"

assalamu 3alikom...

I've recieved an email message today with this title, i liked it, so i thought of sharing :)

Dear Noha,

I'm writing today to check in with you and to ask you to check in with yourself. How have you been feeling lately? Are you feeling good? Are you happy? Or (like so many people), are you living in fear and worried about your future? There's no need to sugar coat it; we are living in an interesting time ... a time of immense uncertainty for many people.

Several years ago I made a decision to stop watching the news and to not read the newspaper. I just refused to fill my brain with a lot of negativity. Honestly, I watch about 10 minutes of news a week just to get a feel for what's being put out there. And unless I just happen to tune in during the 10 minutes of 'bad news' being broadcast, I am guessing a constant barrage of negativity is coming out of that television.

I know you know the importance of filling your mind with positive information. The more you focus on what is good, the more good you will have in your life.


Remember, it is your choice how you feel. You can choose to be happy and abundant. You can also choose to be in fear and pessimistic. The truth is that it is easy to get sucked into the collective negativity of today's world -- so it is imperative to fill your cup with as much good stuff as possible!

I am honored to support you in any way I can. As always, I am committed to your happiness.

Rich.

It is true that the message is an auto generated message, sent to me by "Rich German" to all those who subscribed in his website.. but i felt some thing when reading it, i also remembered "The Closet Theory ", Dad's theory, that i may talk about later :)

yes, this man talks right, how we feel is our choice..

Choose to be happy :)

Satisfaction and Happiness

Assalamu 3alikom,

I've been thinking lately about satisfaction and happiness, which one indicates better state and having a happy life :) ??
Of course u will say: manty lessa 2ayla "Happy" life, yb2a happiness ya 3abqareyya :D :D...

Well, most ppl tend to say about them selves that they are satisfied when they are feeling like this: "I'm not happy, life is not fine, and I have nothing to do about it... yallaa, ha3mel a ya3ny... adeena radyeen w 3aysheen wal7amdulillaaah, bas lw kan w lw kan w lw kan…!!!!!!!!" and ppl statrt t-lawleww :D

Well, I disagree with this definition of satisfaction...I believe that Satisfaction is much much greater than happiness, satisfied ppl are more "happy" than happy ppl, satisfaction is bigger, wider, deeper and even warmer.

The deep thinking about Satisfaction and happiness made me have the following conclusions:
  • Happiness is a "Result" of a "Cause"... I had a good job, so I’m feeling happy about it.. my friend got engaged so I’m feeling happy about it, Dad bought me my dear little "batata" so I’m Very very very happy about it :D... Unlike satisfaction, actually satisfaction – as I believe- is more likely an attitude, it's smth that is deep inside ur heart that makes you feel good about every thing around u ( good things "AND" bad things).. Y ppl ba2a takes that satisfaction is with bad things and happiness is with the good?!!
  • Unsatisfied ppl are less likely to feel happy, or let may say that, satisfied ppl get happy from the simplest things in life, they look behind the things and see meanings and feel happy.
  • Fel Qur2aan u will notice that when Allaah sub7anahu wata3ala talks about the ultimate happiness he sub7anah talks about satisfaction, “wa ridwaanon mina Allahi akbar”, “Radia Allahu 3anhom wa radoo 3anh”.. and the 7adeeth that says that Allaah asks ahl al jannaah: “Hal radeetom?”.. it’s noting about happiness and joy.. if satisfaction was only in hard times, then y are we satisfied fel Janna?!!
  • Allaah sub7anahu said:”Qul bi-fadli Allahi wara7amatihi fabithalika fal yafra7oo huwa 5ayron memma yajma3oon” .. This verse shows that happiness is indeed “caused” by smth.. and says that: don’t let ur causes of happiness be the things u collect in Dunia (money, family, buildings,…) let ur happiness be out of the mercy given to u by Allaah and the blesses that he sub7anahu wata3ala chose for u (and believe that this meaning takes us to satisfaction in a way or another).


Well, I’m not saying that feeling “Happy” is a bad thing.. Of course not :) .. Feeling happy makes us happy, this is a good thing :).. but feeling satisfied does not mean that u cannot be happy when good things happen, it’s just that u wont feel bad when bad things that happen.


May u all be satisfied about every thing in ur life, and may Allaah be satisfied with u all the way :)
Anyways, this is my opinion, feel free to object :)


Assalamu 3alikom
