[Abdullah987]

lock your door and cry for your own sin
cry remembering how you have been
ungrateful to The Lord of human and Jinn
cry remembering the prophet when
he said Allah look only to what's within
and in the grave only your work stays in
no wonder your work is your true twin
if bad you loss,if good you win

[Abdullah987]

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

واللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
وللَّهِ الحمدُ

the more you ask why
the more you get by

[Abdullah987]

^^^
oh yeah ask more why. especially, what i asked you before: Why
do you do what you do? because many people think they know
why they do what they do. but the truth is, they don't. and here
is an example




i saw the other day someone in his car stopping at one of these
cleaning guys and giving him some money. you would agree with
me that it is such a good behavior. However, as soon as he drove
away, he opened his window again but this time to throw,in the
street, a can and few used napkins!! i mean when you see this you
gotta ask yourself; if he gave the money to help that cleaning
guy, why did he not help him by not throwing his garbage in the
street. and the only answer to this question is that he doesn't
know why he does what he does? he thinks he does it for helping
but NO, that's a lie. He might be doing it beacuse it makes him feel good or maybe because he heard it's cool!! I don't know but
what i know & sure about, it's not for helping even if he thinks so


this is not the only example, there are so many people around us
like him. Such as those who have huge mouths talking about how
they feel sorry for the people in Africa and how they want to go to
help them as soon as they have money to buy the ticket. but
when you tell them; well, you can go the poor neighborhood in
your city. They shut up immediately or respond by
saying "it's dangerous". Oh yeah, i forgot that
Africa is the safest place in planet Earth!! Funny


so tell me now
Why do you do what you do


peace
