Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when you take it to masjid,
but so small when you take it to the mall.
Funny how long it takes to pray jumma for an hour,
but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at masjid are,
but how short they are when watching a movie.
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray,
but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings,
but we complain when a Khutba is longer than the regular time.
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the Quran,
but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert,
but scramble to sit in the back row in the musjid.
Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a Islamic event into our schedule,
but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple Hadith well enough to tell others,
but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
Funny how we believe what the newspaper say,
but question what the Quran says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven
provided they do not have to believe, or think, or say, or do anything.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire,
but when you start sending messages regarding the Allah,
people think twice about sharing.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
Are you laughing?
Are you thinking?
