Big Brother

salaam

another series of the reality show Big Brother is on our screens once again:

anyone watches it?

what you think?

[b]This time we have a scottish pakistani Gay Muslim!!!![/b]

have your say...

wasalaam

Yes i have to admit to watching it last year but i havent watched a minute this year.

It is too full of gays and weirdos who are social outcasts.

Dont you think it is a coincidence that were getting all these (outcasts) who say there muslim and gay etc. and how they have been dissowened or beaten up by their muslim families. same as last year with Kemal.

Is it me or is it all part of an attempt to make us look worse than the image already presented.

A clever mind can entertain a thought without accepting it

It's an attempt to show we're 'integrating'.

Yeh lol as though they would go that far.

Big Brother is an entertainment programme.

Its the modern day circus.

Noone would go to the curcus if it was ordinary.

This circus needs freaks to pull in the punters.

Big brother is lame, nothin but filth. Dunno why people waste their time watching it. Apparently that scottish guy stays like 10 mins from us, people are going on bout how his family is going to beat him when he gets back coz he went on the show and brought shame to the family for openly declaring he is gay.

looooool@angel. Really. Maybe it was his way of "coming out". I'm sure most ppl were aware he was gay?

i heard his family were happy with him or had accepted him

anyway, why people watch big brother STILL beats me

stupid, filthy, polluting, time wasting, sad, did i say stupid? and gay

i wonder what they do for the next series.....a 'muslim' drag queen or sumfin

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

It's got lots of pics of White English families of the past, and i mean back in the days when you wouldn't haven expected English folks to convert to Islam. I stumbled across it yesterday kinder fascinated me. I partcularly liked Jessica (Ameena) Davidson's quote about Islam. Check it out:

Even discussing this seems like a HUGE waste of time, don't get pulled in by this rubbish

Allah is watching us.

Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Through cheating, stealing, and lying, one may get required results but finally one becomes

I think Farhana is absolutley correct, time is very precious, in Surah Qaf Allah(swt) mentions the job of these two angels:

50:17 (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions) .

50:18 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).

50:19 And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!"

50:20 And the Trumpet will be blown, that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given) (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).

50:21 And every person will come forth along with an (angel) to drive (him), and an (angel) to bear witness.

50:22 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!"

50:23 And his companion (angel) will say: "Here is (this Record) ready with me!"

50:24 (And it will be said): "Both of you throw (Order from Allah to the two angels) into Hell, every stubborn disbeliever (in the Oneness of Allah, in His Messengers, etc.).

So guys and girls don't be heedless, the world may seem full of fun and enjoyment but when you look around non of our ancestors exist anymore...and we will go the same way, why not prepare for the life where death will not exist, a life where true enjoyment will be provided instead of the illusions and the way of the shaytann we are following in this world....

The best preacher is the conscience, the best teachers are time and experience, the best book is the world, the best friend is God

Guest, how did you guess? I bet it was from his job title! Anyway, I can't say more than that, I can't say anything about him because that will be backbiting, totally forbidden in Islam, and I can't say anything positive about him because I don't think I can think of anything.... Biggrin

True, its pointless discussing it.

[b]BIG BROTHER[/b]

Big Brother, a programme where 13 people chosen from thousands of applicants, are asked to live in a house where there are hidden cameras placed throughout the house covering their every move... and I mean every move if you know what I mean.

Every week one guy or girl is evicted by the television viewers, who are given tasks to carry out and then are judged on their success as well as their behaviour, personality and deeds. The successful person at the end of the show is rewarded £100,000.

Well, you're probably thinking what's this got to do with anything? Let me shock you by saying that our life in this world is just like the telly show Big Brother - no fatwa's please, let me explain!

Our house is this world - the dunya. Our hidden camera is none other than God Almighty, the creator of the universe who watches our every single move. Allah (swt) gives our tasks in His book, the Qur'an and by His Messenger, Muhammad (saw).

The Creator judges us on our deeds and actions and our prize at the end of the show is Paradise and eternal life. Now what do you make of that then?

Not bad eh… I know you're shaking your head and saying the blokes lost it but just think about it for a moment and it'll make sense to you … trust me. The term 'Big Brother is always watching you' has a very important meaning for Muslims.

OK, check this out - the idea that 'Big Brother is always watching you' should become clear:

You're cruising down the road in your Subaru ( or your Nissan Micra if you were honest) and you approach the lights. You think I ain't stopping and all of a sudden you see a cop car from a distance.

So what do you do? Slam your brakes, put your seat belt on and hope the coppers say nowt. Its true innit… unless you get a buzz out of being fined and visiting the nick! You see we follow the law because we know we are being watched, and if we break the law we will be punished.

Another example: will you ever light up a spliff or chat up a girl/guy in front of your parents, older brother or your local molbi (imam).You must be joking! Why? Because you know a higher authority is watching you, so you have to do 'the right thing' otherwise you will be punished big time.

Now, to get to the point- if we 'do the right thing' or follow the law of the land only to please the higher authorities in this world then why not 'do the right thing and obey the law of Allah' - the Creator of the Universe, who is the highest authority and is always watching you?

You see whether we are playing football, watching the telly, in the town center, at uni or college, at work, in the mosque or in the nightclub our every action is watched and recorded.

So next time you decide to link up with your undercover girl/boyfriend somewhere that you know that your dad, the local Imam and that big mouth auntie down the road wont see you, always remember that 'Big Brother' - the All-Seeing- is ALWAYS watching you, there is no place on Earth where you can go where you wont get clocked by Him.

'Big Brother' is always watching us so isn't it about time we faced the facts and sorted ourselves out to save our self from the embarrassment in this world and the hereafter. A couple of things might be on your mind.

You're thinking: 'OK I know Allah(swt) watches our actions but still I can't stop myself from doing what I do, even though I know its wrong. So, what do I do?'.

Fair point. To know something is wrong or haram doesn't take a genius but to stop yourself from committing sin and haram acts is the hardest thing ever. But you see that is the trick. That is the test. The test of life - pass this and you're buzzing. What we need is taqwa - the fear of God.

The only way we can do good in this world and have a good hereafter is if we fear Allah (swt). The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said in his final sermon : “Fear your Lord, pray your five prayers, fast the month of Ramadan, pay your Zakah, and obey your leaders, in doing so, you will enter your Lord‘s Paradise.”(Tirmidhi)
Read very carefully the following verses of the Qur'an on the importance of Taqwa:

1. "It is only Shaytaan that suggests to you the fear of his friends and supporters, so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are true believers." (Surah Ali Imran 3:175)
2. "Truly, Allah is with those who fear Him, keep their duty to Him, and those who are doers of good for the sake of Allah only." (Surah Nahl 16:128)
3. "Whoever fears Allah, Allah will grant him a way out of hardship; and whoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will forgive his sins from him and will enlarge his reward." (Surah Talaq 65:2, 5)
4. "Verily, those who are fearful of Allah are the people who, when an evil thought from Shaytaan comes to them, they remember Allah, and indeed they then see aright." (Surah A'raaf 7:20)

So now we know how important taqwa (fear of Allah) is so we should start to have the fear of Allah in our hearts. You're asking but how can I do that? You see taqwa is more than just having fear of Allah (swt).
Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (radiyallahu anhu) narrated:

"Taqwa is not fasting during the day and it is not praying during the night and it is not the mixing of the two of them, but taqwa is leaving what Allah has made haram (forbidden) and by doing what Allah has made fard (compulsory). After one has done this, Allah will provide good things for that person."

You see once the fear and awareness of Allah hits and enters a person, life is never the same. When a person's heart opens up to Allah (swt), the way we view life, how we see life, our ambitions in life, our expectations in life, our goals in life, all change. After this, every aspect of life is seen with an Islamic viewpoint.

Whatever you do, you know Allah (swt) is watching you yeah. So if you have this thought in your mind all the time, 24/7, then it will help you to live life according to Islam and it will help you from not doing 'dodgy' things!
Now try this out in your life:

The next time you're about to steal, lie, do fraud, smoke or sell weed, drink or sell alcohol, go on a date, watch a XXX movie etc then say to yourself 'my Allah (swt) is watching me! I ain't gonna do this. Cos when I leave this world He (swt) is gonna ask me about EVERYTHING I did and I ain't gonna have no answer, no excuses.'
The Qur'an says:

"It is Allah Who gives life and death and Allah sees EVERYTHING that you do." (Surah Al-Imran 3:156)

So rather than leading a dodgy life and getting battered in the hereafter, why not live a good life? You see in the telly show Big Brother when the house mates are evicted from the house they just go back to their normal lives or go on to do other things.

In the real world when we have to leave the house of this world then thats it my friend, your times up...its time to face 'your Creator'!

You see when a person gets evicted from the house in Big Brother, embarrassing moments from their time in the Big Brother house are replayed and watched by thousands of viewers. In the same way, after you get evicted from the

house of this world and are standing in front of the Almighty, embarrassing moments of your life will be replayed in front of Allah and absolutely everyone- No Joke!

Stuff that you don’t want anyone to find out about….. stuff that you did when you thought that no one was looking……stuff you did which you’d just die of shame if your mum or dad ever found out about!

The Qur'an sums it up by saying:

"How do you disbelieve in Allah when He gave you life when you were dead, then He will give you death, then life again, then unto Him you will return?" (Surah Baqarah 2:28)

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

Everyone will remain standing before Allah on the Day of Judgment until they have answered five questions: his/her age, how they spent it; their knowledge, how much they acted upon it; their money, how did they earn it and how did they spend it; their body and health, how they used it.' (Muslim)

The show Big Brother on Channel 4 seems to be what everyone is talking about at the moment. Is anyone talking or thinking about 'Big Brother' up above? Never forget: Big Brother is always watching you!
