Goaal!
Sunday, December 21st, 2008Football [the real football, not the american one] seems to bring out the worst in people, especially amongst the brothers. For those who do play it, on the pitch you will notice the brotherhood not only gets thrown out, it gets slide tackled from behind then red carded. Maybe its the emotion, maybe its the competition but whatever excuse there is, its not valid. No matter what task we do, or how competitive it may be, we shouldn’t lose our sense of Islaam or our real purpose in life.
Allah [subhanahu wa ta3la] says in Surah Dhaariyat, verse 56:
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
Everyone has probably heard the purpose of life lecture or if not then they at least know (hopefully) that their purpose in life is to worship Allah [aza wajal]. But knowing it is not good enogh, applying it is even more important. And applying it in all areas of life even when doing something which may not seem related to Islaam such as playing football or doing a fashion show [for the sisters only of course]. It is important we return back to tawheed. Yes we may enjoy life in what Allah [aza wajal] has ordained halal but end of the day, we should seek his pleasure and know what our real goals is *smiles*
