What does the Quran and Sunnah teach us?
Fear Allah swt only
Or
Fear Allah swt AND those who disbelieve as they have no limits to how low they can stoop.
This world gets worse as we get older, leaving us to ponder and wonder about human behaviour that has existed since the beginning of time......
Jazak Allah in advance for your thoughts and responses.
I work in a very hard place,
The black guys are racist.
The white guys are racist.
The brown guys.. dont last.
Iv been there 2 years.
You can get by.. sitting amongst a bunch of wolves..
Only fearing Allah swt.
But I act up sometimes and it feels like they cast big shadows..
So I despair at how big the shadow is and how it imposes on my life this time and the next.
But..
I am here.
I endure.
I hurt.
I anger.
I just cant hold a feeling and am rubbish at talking.
I have a hard time distinguishing between the shadow and the face.. my delusion.
So mine is a different problem.
I have a hard time manifesting as anything other than a sheep.
Strange days.
...I thought I was clever until I tried to open my mouth..
Baaaa
What a crooked story to tell, eh?
Nobody can tell what awaits them in the wings..
The paradox of the stage being real, is the difference between fearing the wolf or fearing Allah swt.
Unless your a wolf, in which case you just turn up.
Endure it to the finish.. and be better if there is a next time.
..It's only me tripping me up, that's what changed my life.
Hard lesson to not forget.. do not forget.
I flunked a profession degree and now work manual labour..
I was going to be clever.. with all the clever graduates.
Now I'm as thick as a brick soaked in testosterone.
And more wooden than pinnochio.
