As I sat in front of my computer screen staring blankly at the Ummah.net forums, my mind couldn’t help but delve into deep, depressing thoughts about my future life. I could hear the distant cries of a bird swooping in the skies, but at the time they seemed to be annoying and distracting. My mind raced towards thoughts about the principles adopted by people in today’s world and the freedom with which they carried out their actions. These actions were led to by the freedom of thought they had grown up with and adopted from the people around them no doubt. This had left me in deep thought about the credibility of the people around me and it raised more than serious issues about trusting other Muslims in the ummah. The hearts and minds of these people didn’t seem to be genuine at all, and their actions could be described as cunning at best. The speed with which people change and the mountain of lies that they can build to hide their past often grows higher than Mount Everest itself. ‘How can you people live like this I thought to myself?’
I began to think that those values I held in high regards in my life, and would live and die by, had little but mostly no meaning to the Ummah around me. Reading through replies regarding forgiveness and how past sins are forgiven and it is the person standing in front of us today we should be judging, not their past sins, I began to think to myself what happen to the quote 'Abstinence from sins is better than seeking help afterwards' - Ali ibn Abi Talib.
Then as the frustration from the lack of understanding shown of my viewpoint and ideas grew, I was about to give up and throw my computer out of the window of the third floor of a five floor house. Just then the distant cries began getting louder and the swooping and swishing in the skies felt closer to me, as if a swift breeze had just passed me by. Just then I received a message from MSN saying that someone wanted to add me to MSN….’interesting’ I thought to myself. Replacing the computer screen I had picked up, I initiated a conversation with this stranger trying to find out who it was and where they had gotten my e-mail address.
As the conversation progressed into the early hours of the morning I couldn’t get any personal information from this person, except they wanted to discuss certain issues with me. These issues related to different types of girls and how to distinguish between them. Although very open in the discussion, they seemed reluctant to give anything away about themselves. After a few days of discussion I had given trying to find an identity for this 'angel sent from above'. However I had been left with many comforting thoughts with regards to the sorts of people that exist and felt I had been given a unique insight into the 'weird and wonderful’ mind of the opposite sex.
Firstly I hope everyone will join me in wishing this wonderful individual with many prayers for their future life and great success, Ameen.
The sad thing is this wonderful free-flying phoenix that was circling the skies looking for me, has no identity. If anyone has seen it, let me know, or if your reading this then smile, because you made the world a better place :)
