Religion is (or it should be... hehehe) - from the Sinners' Dictionary

Religion Is...

Religion is courtesy and rightness,

In that order of prevalence...

Your religion should

Make your mother and father appear more lovely,

Your children appear more angelic,

You can converse better in pillow-talk,

You can engage wisely with your bank manager,

Public speaking will seem like a walk in the park,

Weariness at the end of the day is a work well done,

Waking up in the morning is a soul well rested

And what is death, if it is not a life well lived!?

Your religion should

Make each morning's greeting richer,

An embrace fantastic,

A kiss cosmic,

The assuring hand on your shoulder

Becomes the Hand of God,

The kind shoulder that you rest your troubles upon

Becomes the Shoulder of God,

But the hand that you shake to say goodbye

Is not the Hand of God because goodbye

In the original ye old English

Means 'God-be-with-ye'...

Your religion should

Make the bees' honey taste sweeter,

The scholar's mind wiser,

The lover's promise truer,

The writer's prose bolder

As wealth and poverty

Become nothing but a state of mind

And each breath that you take

Becomes just one more step

Towards the Divine Presence...

And a problem becomes a milestone along that journey,

Sickness a cleansing white fire,

Sorrow a rose in bloom,

Pain nothing but a faint white star

In a galaxy of merciful meanings

As God and the Prophet guides you

To answer the singular question

Of who you truly are

................

I think the prose above is quite un-commentable as I think it is a comment in itself on religion. Do not sell yourself short. Do not limit your ambitions in your quest for Goodness and Godliness.

... who am I?

I think verily you underestimate your talents!

Have a really lovely day, sunshine.

wa min Allah at-taufiq

Hate has no place in Islam

Love will show the Way
