famous people

As a boy there was an old man in my town who was honored every year as he was one of the few surviving people that had personaly known Abraham Lincoln.

I met him and walked away sadly thinking to myself "How sad, the only thing this man did in his life time is to have met a famous person."

Why don't you use your energy to become famous in the name of Islam instead.
 
I've met a lot of Cricketers, a few singers and a couple of actors (TV actors not movie actors) and an ex weatherman who used to jump around on a floating map of the UK lol

But the people i have been the most priviledged to have met and sat with were some amazing muslim scholars.

Shiekh Hamza Yusuf

Shiekh Nuh Ha Mim Keller

Imam Sirah Wahhaj - Have met more than once. Mashallah knowledgeable and committed.

Abdullah Hakim Quick

Abdul Hakim Murad

Imam Zahid Shakir - Only heard him talk, never met him face to face though.

Abdur Raheem Green - I met him a long time ago after he'd finished doing a talk about his conversion to Islam, it was a beautiful story.

You will one day if you have not already. One day some of your current friends may become famous.

A few of my friends in school and college went on to become famous.

a few notable students I had in a Health class I taught briefly at Centenary College.

Larry Byrd (Basket Ball)

Hal Sutton (Golfer)

Kathy Johnson (The olympic Gymnist)

then some people I met when I was a kid, but I did not know they were famous at the time

Albert Einstein
Robert Frost
"Lucky" Luciano (The gangster, long story)

Some when I was in the Military

Gen. Curtis LeMay
Dean Hess (Bomber pilot who became a military Chaplin after accidently bombing an orphanage, a movie was made about him. Quite a man, was very remorsefull after that tragic accident. Miscalculated the coordinates for a mission)

Some Guys that I met in the USAF that went on into show business

Flip Wilson
Jerry Van Dyke

A few Politicians

George Bush Senior (don't stone me, that was before he was prez)
Jack Kennedy
Robert Kennedy

Some foreign Dignataries:

Moulay Hassan (Former King of Morocco) being the one I remember best

Some Show biz people:

Elvis
Fabian
Dorothy LaMour
Ida Lupino
Jayne Mansfield
Jimmy Stewart (He was a reserve AF General at the time I was in the AF)
Mario Lanzo

What's his name Gary something: that guy who played Radar on MASH he is my sister's neighbor.

The only key to meeting somebody famous is to live long enough.

Far better we all do something to better our love for Allah(swt)
