FUNNY ISN'T IT?

Funny how a $10 note looks so big when you take it to mosque, but so small when you take it to the shopping mall.

Funny how long it takes to serve Allah for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 80 minutes of rugby.

Funny how long a couple of hours are spent at religious duties, but how short they are when watching a movie.

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.

Funny how we get thrilled when a soccer game goes into extra time, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.   Funny how hard it is to read a verse in the quraan,  but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best-selling novel.

Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a place at the back of the mosque, especially during Taraweeh namaz in Ramadaan month .

Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a religious event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.

Funny how much difficulty some people have learning a simple Islamic script well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip about someone.

Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the quraan/shariah says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven, provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything.

FUNNY, ISN'T IT?
