No "christmas" stress
In the name of Allah, All praise is due to Allah, and May Allah send His peace & blessings on His last prophet & messenger Muhammad
I was standing in a line the other day and there was an argument between a very young man-maybe around 28 years old, also in line-and an older man.
The older man-maybe around 60 years old-was a security guard. He was telling the people to form a straight line.
Because it was so crowded, the people were standing where they could find room, to avoid people walking in the door.
Well, the security guard said to the young man (something to the effect of), "Can you get straight in the line?"
Then, he went on to say that he should have brought his wip that is used for cattle-to keep them in line.
Many of the people in line were angry at his statement. I mean, he was speaking as if we were animals.
The young man was very, very, upset! He started cursing very loud at the older man.
Saying, "I'm a grown *%# man! You don't tell me what the *%#* to do! Who the *%#* do you think you are talking to me like that!"
There was a woman behind me saying that she doesn't know how people do it during christmas time (meaning pay these high bills and buy gifts for others and their children).
She kept mentioning how the gas bills in michigan were going to rise and she doesn't have the money to buy christmas gifts and she feels the stress of the "holidays."
I just thought to myself- All praise due to Allah for making me muslim and relieving me of this foolishness.
When the "holidays" of Islam come around, me and my family are excited and stress-free. we don't have these pressures of the non-muslims.
I kept thinking to myself, "I am pleased with Allah as my lord, with muhammad as my prophet, and with Islam as my religion!"
I was standing in line to pay a bill and you know what?
I walked away with less money in my pocket, but with more contentment in my heart!
How many of you non-muslims can feel that?
See-ya next post, God-Willing!
