I am not a good muslim, I am a better muslim then you?

yuit —

What with the new way of thinking. Yes I am talking about having the 'holier than thou' attitude. Why are lot of muslims occupied with what other practicing muslims are up too. Surely what going on the street should occupy our thoughts much more.

More muslims are on drugs, fornication is on the rise and divorce rate are higher then ever within the muslims community, so why are some people still occupied with how much halwa people eat. Too me this doesn’t make sense. People are making a issues over what seem like non issues too me.

Is it a question of superiority or something. Why are people so rigid for. This comment apply both ways. It seem that because maybe a wahhabi he isn’t capable of any good deeds, that the opinion I get from many people. I always hear the phrase the “right path” when people comment about other muslims. Too me this sound so disrespectful. Also a lot of us are guilty of doing the things we make issue over. It funny how similar the characteristic of the accuser and the accuse are.

I think this is something that all mosque should focus on, but at the moment it seem in some cases this is where it stemming from. For us to have unity within our community it is something that need to be address. It would be interesting to know why some people think some muslims have this attitude? And what is needed to defeat this problem, or is even a problem for some, should some muslims be told what and why they are going astray in your opinion.

Because Yuit mentioned halwa in his intial post. Then some jokers took the halwa and ran with it.

Anyway back to topic.

I agree with MS. There's a story - I'm sure many of you know it - about a lion, a fox and a lioness I think. I heard it in Urdu so can't remember it all exactly.

But anyway... there was this fox who saw a lion kill an antelope or something and then drag it to a lioness who had a broken leg or something. The fox saw this and pretended to be injured like the lioness. The fox expected the lion to kill his food for him but he never. The fox died or something and God told him that he should have imitated the lion instead of the injured lioness... or something like that. I don't know, I heard it in Urdu. But the moral of the story is the same.

Now Iget the halwa bit. I waswondering why he was giving a recipe!

and what IS the moral of that story?

(I have a short attention span aswell... so i may have mossed it, but I could not find one...)

As always we are not the ones to judge, so why even bother? all it will lead to is bad thoughts, and hurting ourselves.

I blame my new keyboard... got it about a month ago, and for some reason I cannot spell on it! I press the wring letters, or not press them hard enough, or press two buttons at the same time...

My actual spelling ability has got worse aswell.
