Today, when I logged out from my yahoo account, I saw an advertisement in the yahoo page, “Loose five years in five minutes”. Masha Allah good news!!!!!!!.... but what about a lady whose age is 50 or 60 or 70. Looking like a lady of 65 years old instead of 70, does it worth anything?
Will looking like five years lesser in age reduce her actual age as well? Death is on her way and it’s near to us then our own heartbeat. We can die in any moment just like that, without any notice. Moreover, we are getting closer to death in every single moment.Here in Gaza, hundreds are dying in five minutes. Israel is removing Palestanians like insects and here people are busy in removing......wrinkles?*sigh*
I remember a girl,a muslim in Sweden. I met her ten months back as far I can recall.We met in a chatroom and she was really a bubbly girl. She was going to get married in 2010 as in next year. She used to tell me her wedding plans. She was already engaged at that time. Everything was just picture perfect. But one day she and her whole family went for outing near a river. When her dad was trying to park the car near the river bank, somehow the car got fell into the water. Nobody could explain how that incident or accident happened. According to her younger sister, people who was present there at that moment said , “It’s like somebody poked the car into the water, it fell in the water like a toy”. Now at the moment everybody except her sister in her family is dead and yes! including her.
She was so loving and she came into Islam maybe two months back before her death. Her future husband is alhamdulilah a muslim man who patiently taught her about Islam.I'm very pleased to hear she's happy everytime we chat. Once she told me, “ myra, if you ever need anything just ask me , i'm your sister”. Still her voice bangs in my head. I just can’t forget her.
Now, she is still there in my yahoo messenger account but appearing offline and I know she won’t appear online again..never!
Anyway, what we will do by reducing age wrinkles? Doctors couldn’t invent any medicine to reduce the age, not yet and they won’t be able to. Removing wrinkles won’t reduce the age.
Now the beauty has become an obligation instead of a choice. Women now want their rights back and here they are making their own self a product. In search of identity they have lost their identity.
Take a few minutes and ponder upon a question , “Why I am spending so much money and time and energy behind my outer beauty ? Why? For what? For whom?”
Do I want the guys to look at me ? or what ?
Once I asked this question to a girl she said , “ I feel good after beautifying myself” I asked again, “ Why do you feel happy after doing make up and stuff?”
She was like …aaa..aa..ummm..errm…people do comments like i'm beautiful ..ya ..mmmm.
When we muslim believe, “our life, death and all belongs to Allah ,the lord of the worlds”…Now these capitalist and secular systems have made us think and believe, “my beauty, life and all belongs to people”.
Islam has freed the women from the shackle and slavery of the men’s desire. InsyaAllah we cloth ourselves for the sake of Allah not for the sake of showing some filthy desired men in the streets and universities.
Loosing five years in five minutes …huh..who cares about what people think of me? Who cares about the age or wrinkles?
In Islam we only get the wrinkles of knowledge not the wrinkles of age.InsyaAllah.
