Its a story someone whom i respect alot once told me. i think it was abt a year back. jes got reminded of it and thought of sharing.
Seems this was sumthing that really happened. it was abt a certain boy who always hung around with his friends. while his friends were boozing , partying and getting layed seems this guy always distanced himself from those stuff. they hung out alot but he'd give rain checks whenever he found out if his friends were going for those purposes. someone who prayed alot and did the works.
Until one day his friends tricked him into going with them to have some fun. and seems that they wanted to pop his cherry and had talked with one of the girls abt it. so they lock this guy up in a room with the girl and went away. im sure most of you would know the intoxicating effect of a woman who wants to get laid badly. hehe. meaning he gave in. after all those years of holding back he finally thought this would be a one time thing and gave into it. Problem was....he had a heart attack and died. the girl was too drunk and so he wasnt found to be dead till the next morning when his friends came to let him out
And heres the tricky bit. its said in our religion that....well...i dont remember the exact words but it goes something like this. "Ziney kuraa meehaa ziney kuraa hindhu eynayakee moomineh nooney" and so on for the rest of the sins. which translates into(dont mind my translation, it aint so good :P) "The fornicator while fornicating isnt a 'muh min'". so its said among those ppl knowledged in islam that when he fornicates/steals/vatever all the good that he has done is taken away from him. that it doesnt reside in him during his betraying acts and is once again restored to him after its all over and when he's done with it. Meaning that when the guy died he was in such a state that he cant carry forward any of those good deeds he did. they had all been taken away from him. all those years gone to waste. he might as well as have done all those stuff that he restricted himself for doing.
Some might think of this as a load of crap, some might think its jes plain unfair while others might actually make something out of this story. each to their own accord right? whatever it may be im sure theres something that everyone can agree on. we'll never know when we're gonna die. even if someone has cancer even he wont know when he'll die. he might not even die in the lifespan the doctor said he would. Even if he did, he wont know on which day or time. so better be prepared for that which would undoubtedly come to face us one day....be it tomorrow or even years from now.

a good fact that most of us forget while going thru our busy schedule

true, but we all indulge ourselves in acts that our out of bounds. religion teaches us a lot of things. right and wrong for one thing. but it is highly debated regarding what is actually right or what is wrong. i guess we're not making enough of an effort to find that knowledge ourselves. i accept that fact that we're all hypocrites. we do not act upon what we say all the time. or jus ignore things afraid of what we mite find out. i'm not someone who's righteous enough to lecture others or i'm no saint, but the gray areas are always there i guess n will be.
sometimes its jus one big circle hehehe although i sed "we are hypocrites n we dnt make an effort" i'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, i'm just i hav my shortcomings and i'm not makin enough of an effort. it was an opinion from what i've observed from ppl so far.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When an adulterer commits illegal sexual intercourse, then he is not a believer at the time, he is doing it, and when a drinker of an alcoholic liquor drinks it, then he is not a believer at the time of drinking it, and when a thief steals, then he is not a believer at the time of stealing, and when a robber robs, and the people look at him, then he is not a believer at the time of doing robbery."
Sahih al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Number 655
I laughed out loud when he got the heart attack. Delightful story. At least he died happy and in a moment of bliss. An excellent way to go.
@affey: i dont belive that u HAVE TO do everything you preach or give as advice. if that was true then over 80% of parents will have very limited advice to give to their kids. none of us are perfect. we all make mistakes even though we are able to distinguish right from wrong most of the time and are aware of the wrong we are doing when we do it. as long as you believe the advice you give it counts. who knows jes how many ppl will listen to it and make something desirable or noble out of it. or will even learn a lesson or two right? ;)
@anonymous: thanx. thats what i was looking for. but i pity the guy. all those resisting and all gone to utter waste. sad.
right and wrong? really?
aint that Q a lil confusing as to how ur implying it and to whom?
there's one school of thought which says that even if you fornicate you'll still be forgiven if you conceal your act & ask for forgiveness.
the question of right or wrong is broad. the fact is we do what we wanna do. for e.g. i know believers of islam who fornicate but refuse to drink alcohol on religious grounds. what difference does it make?
@shaari: yea, ive heard that one. but to my knowledge it doesnt say that they will be forgiven but that they would be helped to kep it hidden in THIS life as long as its jes between them and they regret it. sumthin like that.
yea, i know loads of ppl like that too. but in my opinion its their decision. i mean u cant force religion onto them. its not something they dont know. they jes chose to be that way. im usre they mustve thought abt it too. maybe they jes find it absurd to be following those beliefs. who knows.
