Hajj preparationa and forgiveness

Insha-allah (good willing) I will be going on hajj (Islamic pilgrimmage to the holy city of Makkah) tommorow, I have the following message for everyone who knows me and to whom I owe any apologies.

I would like to ask your forgiveness for anything I may have said or done to you. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for anything I may have done. This is the rule of His Divine Court that forgiveness is not granted to the oppressor until and unless the oppressed forgives him. Allah Almighty has empowered us regarding "Huqooq-ul'Ibaad", violation of which, will not be absolved until we forgive the violator and the aggrieved pardons us, in case we have violated the other's rights. Please forgive me if I have ever hurt your grace, faith or heart, backbited about you, or hurt you in any way or violated your rights.

Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

Hajj

I have some excellent news.... Insha-allah (god willing) I will be going on Hajj at the end of next week...

Hajj is the islamic pilgrimage to Makkah and Medina (in Saudi Arabia) and is an obligation for muslims who are able to go and can afford to.

There will be around 4 million people there.. so it might be a little busy....

If anyone wants to know more about Islam or Hajj just drop a mail.

A realisation

I've had a realisation, a heart felt, serious thought of things to come.

Every now and again, you see life staring at you from a far, the people you’ve known and cared for move on in one way or another.

The events in your life have made you the person you’ve become. Your calloused attitude keeps you hardened from the bad events in your life and your inability to trust keeps you safe from your many enemies.

You realise that your “one man army”, full of hate against the world attitude isn’t getting you very far but letting your defences down to make life easier isn’t worth the trouble that it brings. Your inability to bond with people pulls you ever further away from everybody.

You also realise how each day seems to take an absolute lifetime to get through.

You’ve lost family, friends and relationships have broken down without any idea as to why.
The people you care for the most has no idea and it tears at you.

You realise you have no direction in life, even though you have more of an idea than most. Making something of your life just means a hell of a lot more to you than some; therefore it worries you every single day. The pressures of succeeding drive you forwards but also downwards.

Lil sis,,,,,

Last night I had my @ss handed to me on a plate by my little sis....

She went absolutely psycho nuts.... man I was terrified...

And what was my crime?????? I didn't mention her on my blog...ouch.... The problem you see dear readers is that to be mentioned on this blog has become such a staus symbol that the good and the great are all looking to get a mention!

Well here is a mention for my lil sis... Shabena (aka Happy/Heffy - although I call her Hip-Hop).

She is actually another wannabe Eastend gangsta gyal.... Actually she's really sweet and takes good care of me...even though I'm her older bro and it should be the other way around.....

ANyway... hope you are happy with this take care.

I'm the boss...

I was late in to work today........ I was meant to start at 9am.... but I woke up at 9-30... didn't get in till 10.30 and the realised I had a meeting....

Nobody said anything... it could be because

a) I'm so damn good at my job that they let these things go........
b) I'm such a hardass and everyone is toooooooo scared to even make eye contact with me......
c) I'm superior to everyone in intellect and the boss of the world....or
d) I'm just an insignificant pleb... doing a meaningless job.... and my absence didn't even register with people..
Personally I think its a combination of a, b and c....... But lets put it to a vote... let me know what you guys think............... lets have a vote... you can do this by leaving comments.....

This blog ain't all depressing... (trust me I'm an accountant...hehehe!!!)

Just had a thought.... any new readers coming to this blog may get the wrong idea about it... after reading the last few posts you may assume this blog is like 99.999999% of other blogs and is written by some heartbroken teenage adolescent moaning about there life... or in my case lack if it.....

You may then get a sense of deja-vu and run away screaming....you may think you've reas this a millio times before.....

Well that's not so.... this blog is actually full of really funny sh*t (well I think its funny)...... you jut gotta get past the reallt depressing sh*t first.....

So all you new readers out there... persevere as they say... all good things come the they who wait.....

Enjoy.... cos I'm sure the bulk of this blog will actually cheer a lot of people up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HIBERNATION

I am not sure what the reason is, but I seem to have little to NO motivation for anything. Not seeing friends, not my phone, not my job, not blogging, not working out, not eating (now you know something is wrong). No motivation whatsoever. This is why I tried to go into hiding today. I did not want to see or talk to anyone. My goals were to catch up on sleep, work out day, not answer the phone, sort out my paperwork, sort through some thoughts and not leave my house again until Monday. I miss having time to myself. Okay, one day in and this has been really nice and all, but there is still something missing. I am not sure if this hibernating thing really works.....


...stay tuned folks and I'll let you know how it goes...

I got to say folks this is where being able to blog from my phcne in my bedroom comes in damn handy ...

My insane friend and his Asian Earthquake Appeal

I'm sure you're all aware of the earthquake that struck asia last week.... My prayers are for those who have suffered and are suffereing greatly during this time of great struggle....

Nearly 50,000 people have been kille and over 4 million have been left homeless in what was already one of the harshest environments known to man......

What has this got to do with my friend (Sajid Haleem) being insane.....

Well he's planning a sponsored bike ride to raise funds to help those effected... he will be riding 23 miles from Windsor to Central London... while this may not seem much to all you seasoned bike riders out there... Sajid will actually be doing this while fasting (as it is the holy month of Ramadhan and muslims do not eat or drink during daylight hours)...

This is what I think makes Saj a very brave and courageous guy... (or as I prefer to think insane!!!!!)...

He has set up a website (via just giving) where you can make donations - these will be passed directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee, and will also allow claiming gift aid.

The website is http://www.justgiving.com/sajidhaleem

Please could you all show you're support by making a donation and/or leaving a message of support for him here.

Thanks

Ramadhan
