Islam today is a religion that is highly misunderstood, highly misinterpreted and highly misrepresented, especially by the western media. there are many issues today that dwell in the minds of people who seek to know the real truth about islam, yet the avenues that depict islam give them a very bad impression of this way of life. let us embark on a quest to share the truth of many of these misconceptions that are in the back of the minds of many people from all parts of the globe.">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7YUP4phcdg&feature=related]

Male assertiveness

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife so he went to a psychiatrist.

The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and so gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home.

He had finished the book by the time he reached his house.

The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife.

“People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals.” Muhammad Iqbal

It’s hard to find peace within. You may think that you find it there, waiting for you. Others have to search, fight tooth and nail to find their peace. Why am I talking about this, you may ask?
Well to be honest, I think we measure peace in a different way than which it should be measured. True tranquillity is literally only possible through Deen and understanding the Deen, but we receive tranquillity and forms of peace in small doses everyday really. We just don’t know about it or appreciate it until it’s gone.

you're going to get the hardest time, the worst sarcasm and insults from your family when you try and become a better muslim, when you try to learn more and practise Islam better.

we've got to have patience and not lose hope. not lose our cool.

and remember:

Abu Lahab - the uncle and neighbour of the prophet (pbuh). the one who went out and celebrate when the prophet (pbuh)'s son died
Abu Jahl - another uncle.

they were Family - and the worst worst worst ennemies of the prophet (pbuh) and of Islam.

and its hard to make dawah to family. especially to older generations. so when it is hard to make talking dawah then the other solution is manners. staying courteous, polite, when they insult the next day you call them.
