thinking about...

[ibn suleman]

maybe quite a personal question..(in which case dont talk abt the personal things :p)

but what do people thinking when they are staring/doing nothing..

like say on the bus/train when u dont have a book or any audio..what are you thinking abt?

me, whenevr i have moments to just think like that, it wud be abt problems/tasks i currently have to do, and figuring out ways to solve them...

cos i have read in biographies, some scholars would often be deep in thought, but i guess for scholars, mashaAllah they wud have so much knowledge in their heads, they wud be reviewing and reflecting...

because i reckon, that we probably have at least half an hour if not more a day for thinking time...

so what are u thinking abt? or are u just wasting the time?

[GAL-actic]

:salams

I'm just thinking about everything and nothing...just dreaming. Sometimes I just close my eyes and dream away lol.When this happens to me in the bus/train I miss the stop. Like today I don't know what I was thinking but after 4 stops or something I realised I was in the wrong tube...it went the whole other direction:o

[ibn suleman]

dunno whether this is considered personal, but.. whenever im in those or similar scenarios i get a tad bit teary-eyed, as i tend to think about the ones dear to me and thinking of the pain and problems they faced, and the younger ones that will grow up - not wanting them to go through certain things in life that really break you.

its a difficult question to answer tbh.. sumthing felt deep down inside..

aah well.

cool...

i think we all do tht sometime, especially if we see/hear something that reminds us of someone close to us...

but i guess most people will have personal ones, and will not want to share..thats cool, as long as u all reflect, and not waste the thinking time u have...

but i dunno, i think day dreaming is slighlty different, cos its quite distinct when u daydream, its like a totally different feeling..and i dont think u remebr what u day dreamed abt either :scratch:

An accurate, though sketchy, portrait of the Imam's personality is to be found in the description that Qadi Abu Yusuf gave of him to Harun al-Rashid at the latter's request. "As far as I know," said the Qadi, "Abu Hanifah was extremely pious, avoided forbidden things, remained silent and absorbed in his thoughts most of the time, and answered a question only if he knew the answer. He was very generous and self-respecting, never asked a favour of anybody, shunned the company of the worldly-minded and held worldly power and position in contempt. He avoided slander and only talked well of people. He was a man of profound learning and was as generous with his knowledge as with his money." On hearing this account, Harun al-Rashid observed, "You have described a great and good man."

i know i think too much sometimes...

usually when im walking down the road i always imagine what can kill me... like how this could be my final step like any sec a car could so easily swerve into me, or like how if Allah swt decreed outta nowhere a sign could just fall on me or how if i just tripped up i could fall onto a metal gate and the spike could go right through me

stuff like that... i dno then i just feel so grateful that every sec Allah swt protects us from so much evil

I tend to reflect alot on the past...Mostly on the mistakes i've made and things which i regret to this day or on the other hand i think about Makkah and Madinah and the shuyookh like Sheikh Juhainy and Sheikh Qaasim :inlove: :o

But most of the time, it's the negative stuff which plays on my mind.

Was that what you were looking for? :scratch:

[Rosalie-Beauty]

I think about everything and nothing. I live inside my head alot and its like an alternate universe to me. I sometimes put myself in absurd scenarios and situations.

Most of the time though, I think of bittersweet memories or think of, "what if's" or "if this were different"

[muslimma]

:start:

:masha: good thread topic...hmm wot do i think about...:scratch:

prob about the stuff i have to do when i get into town (when im on the bus or travelling)

.....but nowadays im also spending a lot of time thinking about Pakistan :o :p ...and how i miss being there...as at this moment in time i'm free and don't have nefin else to occupy my mind or time :)

I too have that alternate universe in my head! But mine is more just daydreams about random stuff, like what if this train just kept going right till the end of the universe?
sometimes I'm more down to earth and think about stuff like 'hmm, that woman's shoes are quite nice but don't quite work with her outfit' :D

[Hayaa']

Hmmm, I think about things like what happend in the day and what I need to do when I go home. A lot of the time it's random things. But when i'm with Jihaan she doesn't let me think at all :smack: :p kidding

But yeah i do find myself contemplating a lot, if i don't have a book on me i just regret not having it and then I think how much knowledge could I have gained in that time reading it, and then it starts from there....:o

But alhamdulillah, time is precious and our travel times should be utilized in a beneficial way...be it reading a book, contemplating, doing dhikr, and self-assessment.

today all i was thinking about is phones4u :rotfl:

[Omar]

where life is heading

[Hayaa']

...

[scribble]

I think about everything.

I think of ideas and opinions, most times I think of comebacks or things I could have done or said differently. Usually I try and capture each and every piece of beauty around me and appreciate my walks from college each day. I pass people and wonder what they're thinking, how their life is, and what's occupying their mind and why they can't smile back at me.

I'm a deep thinker anyway. :p

[Hiking]

How I screw my life up, and how I'll change. Past events, future events I hope to see :insha:, things I hope to do :insha: things I've done wrong and things I could do.

[Kubs]

I just go blank....phase out.....my eyes open but I'm actually sleeping - I only realise I'm doing this until someone hits me to wake me up. :outta:

I hope that answered your question :D

[Umm Haya]

AssalamuAlaykum

I think mostly about the recent things going on in life....take a moment to maybe ponder on what is going good for me atm...I guess I also use that time to think about 'nothing'....like usually life is so hectic that you dont get time for that :o But if I'm on the toob or whatever....I doze :zzz: *outta*

WassalamuAlaykum

[Medievalist]

different things. Sometimes think about what needs to be done in the rest of the day, some times think about something deeni, sometimes revise something.

Not so much now, but before when was in hifz class free time might be going over sabaq.

[umee]

I always think of life and say alhamdulillah that i am in good health and my husband and children are in good health too.

[Ebony]

Everything and anythng.

[LastFriday]

the purpose of life. These kind of moments happen to me A LOT. Like walking. When Im walking somewhere, I can't help but think, why my legs are moving or my hands are following the way they are and why can't I just stop and stand, but instead my legs are moving in a particular direction and even thought I KNOW why, I still don't know why...get me? Like, why is my brain thinking that I need to do something when I surely I don't need to or have to....

so what are u thinking abt? or are u just wasting the time?

I usually think of incidences that have passed through out the day or week...maybe an embarrassing moment I had that i could have changed or stopped.

Or, I sometimes just watch the people around me and make assumptions- where they're coming from, where they might be going (looking at the clothes they're wearing).

I'm pretty sure most people sit there and pass judgements on others without knowing...it's human nature.

oh god this is me, once i did this on my way to work and as i was walking, noticed a tear come down my ear, then i came back to reality and scolded myself why i let my thoughts runaway with me like that, cant be helped im afraid

[Treasured Soul]

Its all different at different times ... sometimes im reflecting on the past n sometimes im just thinking about to do in the future ...

other times im thinking about problems and can get all teary eyed with that one and sometimes i think about the good time and will get a smile across my face :)

sometimes i tend to day dream and when under extreme pressure, my head can go blank :o

I dont think ppl just think about one thing at all times .. u mind just wonders around al the time ... from one subject to another unless ur thinking about something thats truely on ur mind.

A lot more Akhi, usually most people think about worldly things,

I do the same as you do, also I wonder if Allah Ta'ala will forgive me for the sins I have committed, or If will have to face Azaab in the Kabr, or in Jahannam ... If I will die after saying the Shahadah, where I will die, etc ...

Death and our fate is something we aught to be Pondering about daily,
