HOPES AND FEARS

In any battle, preparation is a must. It involves lots of training that goes way beyond one's capability, sacrifices and the ability to adapt with any unexpected situation. I would regard the battle of Badr which happened during the month of Ramadhan as the greatest war ever in the history of mankind because it is the war that changes the whole course of the world's history and to certain people, illogical, as 313 won the battle against 1000. No matter how illogical it sounds, fact remains that it actually requires only 313 God-fearing men to shape the world to be the way it should be for generations. These people's greatest weapon is their faith in one Lord, Allah and it is the faith that grants them greatest help from the Greatest helper that one could have.And certainly, it is a faith proven trough actions. They worked hard in the best way possible, in the most pleasing way for the sake of Allah the most High.

The world only needs 313 people with a firm faith or iman in order to make it a better place to live in. Why should we constantly bother about geniuses,whom in terms of faith they have none?

Let's welcome the Holy Month of Ramadhan. A month to develop taqwa insha Allah so that we can become as great as these 313 are.

  1. yups..life itself is driven by either hope and fear. Both either move or stop us. In hope and fear lies power no human can confront should it be laced with strong conviction and vice versa. no power can move should ones set their mind not to move for fear factors.
