There is plenty of space in the US for people to come live here. Take a road trip anywhere and you’ll have your fair share of reminding.

You are not leaving your position at God knows where to do the mineal jobs they are willing to get done – efficiently if I might add.

Laslty, you came from somewhere else too. If you believe that they need to go home, then I suggest you get a head start on your packing.

Im a mute Okazaki fragment.

A piece of something bigger, that doesn’t code for anything by itself, but can’t address the fact that it is missing parts.

the Lead…

–unofficial review of the first 3 chapters of Developing the Leader Within You

img_1433.jpg
“Everyone continually exerts influence either to heal, bless, to leave marks of beauty, or to wound, to hurt, to poison, to stain other lives…

What kind of influence are you having on the people that you pass in life? That kind of psychs me out. How we should always be our best. As Muslims, as role models, as leaders. We are going to be held accountable for the way we affect people. How we appear to them, especially in the name of Islam.

“You can’t lead people farther than you’ve ever been yourself”

I make dua’a that Allah SWT grants me leadership to the muttaqeen and subhan Allah…I really have just learned the true meaning of leading. It requires the utmost in good character. When Islam teaches us about character, there is such an emphasis on good manners. It seems all friendly and “Yeah, people will like you better…” But that is just the surface. Character is everything.

“People’ s Minds are changed by Observation, not Argument.”

People follow example. They can be told one million times. It won’t make a difference.

In leading people we have to look at our own integrity. Who are we? What do we stand for? People can sniff out fakeness. You can pretend all you want but you will be found out sooner or later. So, being honest, even when people aren’t going to particularly like what you have to say, is crucial.

The measure of a man’s true character is what he would do if he was never found out.

that one speaks for itself.

Al-Masad

To me it was more of the following quesiton:

“Is there any Abu-Lahab in me…?”

The lesson behind the surah wasn’t that Allah SWT can punish a person for their deeds. That is a fact. Allah is all powerful and Able to do anything. It was a lesson and a reminder to anyone who has the same aversion from the truth. That can be through arrogance, ego, etc.

Also the idea of Abu Lahab trying to ransom other people for his own freedom on the day of judgment. Our relationships as people are so volatile. We say we love each other, we care, we miss each other. We just focus so much on the small stuff the relationships, the interactions. Although these aren’t supposed to be disregarded our final love should be for Allah SWT. We won’t be able to take any of this with us.
