What matters more. Muslims or the world cup?!

[anis_z24]

Salam,
The world is coming up. And you hear people getting ready for it. buying flags. talking about where there watching it etc.

And Muslims suffer.
I don't know but I feel so much heat when I see these things.
Like people kicking a ball around( I like soccer by the way, just play it to stay fit)

But to give something like this the attention more than something that should matter to us Muslims more is appaling.

What Do you think.

[x Maz x]

The Worl Cup? I aint even thought about that...More worried about passing my GCSEs to tell you the truth inshAllah we all take heed WalaykumAsalaam x

[A(SMILE ITS ME)]

World Cup ......
Its Way Of Enjoyement Too These People,
They Spend More Enerergy In This Than Anything,
So Good Luck Too Them

[KAding]

But where is the limit? Should people be allowed to go to the movies or theater? What about sporting in general? Should all this stop until 'Muslims stop suffering'? You know just as well as I do that the suffering won't end anytime soon, be it Muslim suffering or other living beings!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Yeah, you are right. But what are you suggesting exactly? That development aid gets increased? That everyone on this world donates 20% of his income to the poor around the world (mostly Africa then I suppose)?

These might work, but we need to make sure it actually goes to development, so that their situation can improve in the future. You know the "give a man a fish and he eats for a day, learn a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime" idea

[x Maz x]

I watch it but Surley my fellow Muslims matter more then the kufaar running around kicking a ball ;) Peace! X

[IbnAbdulHakim]

not to mention the amount goin to those nasty shameless men in shorts is jus ridiculous!!!! wudda been a nice incentive if doctors got that much!!

[Syed Nizam]

Assalamualaikum,

Relax bro & sis. Surely all of us needs to unwinds sometimes. Different people do take different approach. So, football just seems one of them. As long as it does not pulls them away from fulfilling their obligations towards God such as doing their prayers on time, it should be ok....i guess?

If we wants to talks about senses, surely most of the things that have been happening around the world today does not make any senses...am i right? So, just relaxed and enjoy the match if u want to.

Peace bro & sis too........;D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ ye tru but it jus makes me realise the corruption of this dunya. When people giv so much attention and express so much interest in such things makes me wonder really. i jus wonder where the money wud go if such things didnt exist :heated:

Brother i am not aware of the exact statistics but i heard that Oxfam actually only gives 10% of its donations to the poor and rest goes towards administraton fees...[DOnt quote me about the exact data] ...and moreoever all the money spent stupidily on war utilities and on social means...a little towards the sufferers would go a long way :) WalaykumAsalaam x

[IbnAbdulHakim]

the fact that sum1 wud even think up a question like what matters more your own brothers or world cup shows the distortion in the society!!!

[x Maz x]

Funny how they get paid more for social entertainment then for doing something for the community!

[AzN..]

Good point.
However, this kind of stuff always crops up. One time it was about nike, the other about cola and conspiracy theories etc etc. I think the important thing is balance: one should strive to find out information about this world AND the hereafter - this doesn't however mean you memorise all the players names of Man U and forget all the prophet's names. (brother farook from Masjid At-Taqwah told us this during a khutba before jummah, very good, might I add)

It's all about the balance.

[minaz]

yeh ( I remember that sermon last Friday:p)
Anywho this thread made me laugh loads! It is so blown to of proportion!
Football has evolved immensely over the years. It has turned into a live unique entertainment attracting billions of viewers and followers. The money aspect is huge but not an issue. The world cup comes every 4 years and every country in the world has a chance to play in it. It's a great spectacle and has a global united feel to it. Anywho it's stupid to go on the thinking of that, people re suffering and we are celebrating something completely irrelevant to it, be they Muslim or not.

[anis_z24]

Salam,
How much do they spend on it anyways.
I know its a lot, but I don't have any idea what the figure might be

[Nicola]

So should Muslim countries be partaking then?

Re: What matters more. Muslims or the world cup?!

The World Cup, of course!
