Regarding this world.....

The Prophet Muhammad said
" The one who makes this world his focus, God will deprive him of contentment and heartfelt satisfaction. He will remain ever in greedy pursuit of wealth and unattainable desires, and he will never receive more than the share that God has ordained for him.

Whoever makes their focus the next life, God will bestow contentment and heartfelt satisfaction on them. He will also protect them from being greedy for wealth, and they will get their allotted share in this world"

(Emerick, Y. 2000"The Meaning of the Holy Qu'ran in Today's English" pg. 296)

Mini rant response- Article: What if Tebow were Muslim?

re: article http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/12/07/what-if-tim-tebow-were-muslim/

Good points- why is it ok to have 1/2 naked cheerleaders but not a guy who shows his faith? showing religion it makes "ppl too uncomfortable"? seriously? when the islamphobia dies down, one day inshallah, ppl of faith will still catch shit over daring to be religous. But it will always be ok to show your 'assets' in public. This reminds me of how its so hard for hijabis and other ppl of faith to just be allows to be religious without harassment- why should I change my way of praising God just because you feel its being 'pushed at you' and faith should 'be private.' As long as a person isn't dropping religious literature at your feet or spouting off about how ppl need to change to their faith, then it is private. Lets hide that some ppl are women and men since that can make ppl uncomfortable. Some things cant and shouldn't be concealed and least of all ones faith.

I will admit, as a Broncos fan I am excited about the great performance of Tim Tebow. I was at first a little affronted by his mention of Jesus at press conferences but perhaps because I'm indoctrinated to shun 'public displays of faith' Now I feel inspired to be a better Muslim as this person loves God so much that he applies his faith to every aspect of his job. Thats brave in this culture, even for an accepted religion. I feel reminded of how we need to treat this world as the distraction filled playground that it is and prepare always for heaven with strong and ever present faith. So pray on, Tebow (and winning more games always helps too)
