So this cup of coffee from the icecream outlet Haagen-Dazs was pretty mediocre but – The coffee is even cheaper than other outlets like Starbucks or Costa! Sometimes the statement of you get what you pay for can be accurate.
Also,I was pretty silly to order my coffee from an icecream outlet!
Haha! Nevertheless, it was a good coffee break.
This beautiful mosque in Dubai made me speculate on religion and also provoked a question inside of me.
A lot of us Muslims pray, we pray because we want to get closer to god and we fear to be ‘barbecued’ in the blazing fires of hell. We commit to charity because we are told to do so as it is a pillar of Islam. Now, I love God. I love God because I know he loves me as he is giving me a chance everyday to redeem myself from my past miseries. But how can you pray and have an evil heart that wishes bad on someone? That becomes jealous of someone else’s happiness?
How can you pray when you have a heart that is so cruel and evil?
How do you expect on getting admittance to even a world such as heaven after your death if you lack empathy? Religion teaches us to do good for our humans. It tries to teach you empathy by loving god and doing everything for god. Learn to empathize. Learn to have a kind heart, if you have a cold heart then you can always pray to god that you try to have one or try to help people in any form which will eventually develop you to have a loving heart. Small steps always make a big role in learning empathy.
Remember that, Prayer is not enough.
Today (14th December 2016) was the Arabic language initiative day at the Dubai World trade centre!
I’ve never been more proud to be a part of such a wonderful and an educational stream that is trying to promote the importance and the use of the wonderful Arabic language!
Moreover, it was interesting to note that so many languages are correlated with Arabic such as Urdu or Farsi. Even the letters are almost the same in Urdu and Arabic with only a few subtle differences.
For example : we have the word “tarjuma” which means translation in both Urdu and Arabic.
Fascinating experience. Throughly enjoyed it!
PS : I’m not an Arab but I love the beauty of different languages and its complexities!
