Let the haters hate

One thing I learned over the years of blogging and posting on forums is that there are always going to be haters. There is not a single thing anyone can do to please everyone. Why do we even have to please everyone? We have to please Allah and that’s it. By pleasing Allah we’ll be pleasing all those who matter to us the most (parents, spouse, family, friends, etc.). So why bother with the haters?

Brothers with Six-packs

I use to work out frequently in my high school years and my last three semesters in college.  I lost all my muslces now due to the work life.

I know there are some brothers who stay fit and do it on a weekly basis.  If you do, post up some basic beginner exercises that you recommend one can do at home in the morning or evening without any devices or weights.  Basically push ups, sit ups, etc.  Any variation of these and other uses of the typical “household item” like a chair or something. I don’t have the time or money to dedicate a monthly fee for a gym so I just need some basic schedules and exercise instructions.

JazakAllah khair.

This has to be the most hilarious and haram thing I have ever seen:

All Muslim prayers are voiced in English, with the computer speakers facing Mecca.

…

You can “buy prayers” for other religions too.

A dog and an elephant can be friend, but even us Muslims can’t even get along. SubhanAllah!

We’re not thankful enough!

Even non-Muslims are thinking about the current state of themselves:

Even though everyone is laughing, their are some valid points in the discussion.

Salah gone wrong…

This is hilarious. I have no idea what is going on but I have a theory. The beggar is non-Muslim, because if he was a Muslim, he’d be praying (at least I’d hope so). The beggar is trying to benefit from the generosity of Muslims, especially the ones who come to the Masjid for prayer. They would be the most generous. The first brother who comes late to the salah gives the beggar some money. The second brother does not and faces the punishment of being tripped by the beggar, which causes a domino effect to completely obliterate the entire line of brothers in prayer.

Is this staged? Possibly. Is this for real? Allah knows best.

I just think it’s funny. Hahaha!

I was reading this, thinking it was a Bollywood film:

Holy Matrimony: Indian Politician Converts, Takes Second Wife, Vanishes

Mr. Mohan, a Hindu, Became a Muslim to Marry His Mistress; Then Things Got Messy

CHANDIGARH, India — As India was reeling from the Mumbai terrorist attacks in December, Chander Mohan, deputy chief minister of the northern state of Haryana, made a shocking announcement.

Mr. Mohan, whose overwhelmingly Hindu state of 23 million people is among India’s most prosperous, declared that he had converted to Islam. The 43-year-old father of two added that he had also just wed a second wife, another Muslim convert.

What’s happened since has all the trappings of a Bollywood plot, replete with an alleged kidnapping and mysterious disappearances. The drama’s serious subtext shows how crucial religious identity remains in a country that bills itself as the world’s largest secular democracy.

Urban Outfitters is selling a “Leather And Rope Bracelet” here. I really have no idea why the Allah in Arabic is on there nor do I even know why they fail to mention it in the products description.  Shout out t0 Muslim in America for sharing this with me.

Here are some more pictures of it:

A few of my latest posts went missing?

UPDATE: Good news!  Alhamdulillah!  I have recovered the lost posts, unfortunately all the comments were gone.

So when the Republicans attacked my site they took the last 5 posts.  I have no idea where they went.  Contact my host, still waiting for answers.  I have a strong feeling that when the database server crashed, my latest data was also lost, and my host had a backup a few days old, thus missing my most recent posts.

By the way, the Republicans didn’t do anything.  That was a joke.  My host’s server had hardware issues so they had to switch to another server.  In other words, manually move the harddrives.
