I have no plan except to travel in the warm Morrocan winter sunshine through the Northern Sahara and visit some small desert towns, discuss the meaning of life with other travellers and locals and avoid returning to reality till the money runs out.
Leaving Dublin on January 5th, the airfare is 80 Euros.

stopped to smell the roses and appreciate whatever is around you? Or have you taken everything in your life for granted?

Sometimes, life just passes us by... and we don't realize what we are missing until it is too late. When was the last time you stopped and smelled the roses?

My snake who lived in our ceiling made a fatal error of judgment yesterday & chose the wrong moment to leave the safety of his home to get a drink !
Our dog wasted no time disposing of this monster & now I have a dilemma.! Should I catch another one & train it up in the art of catching mice & rats or leave sleeping snakes alone & find another way...?

How is it that the understanding of Islam has changed so completely in the mind of the average person from an all-embracing life system to merely a few acts of worship-often done half-heartedly, in an automatic way or even not at all? Today, we find Muslims, most in fact, who consider that being a Muslim involves praying and fasting, but that otherwise they are free to live their lives according to any social, political or economic system they please. We also find those who claim to love Allah but profess that good feelings and intentions are sufficient proof of Islam.

How was such an idea ever adopted-the notion that one's loyalty to Islam is unrelated to his behaviour? How did a Muslim come to imagine that he could oppose the teachings of his Lord and betray His trust; that he could lie, cheat and deceive; that he could refuse what is lawful, preferring what is unlawful; that he could accept humility and humiliation in order to preserve his status in a society based on immorality and oppression...and still claim allegiance to Islam? How could a Muslimah come to imagine that she could oppose teachings of her Lord and betray His trust; that she could lie, cheat, deceive, covet and backbite; that she could go out, exposing herself to every eye; that she could willingly raise her children as contented members of an un-Islamic society...and yet still imagine that the "good intention" in her heart would cancel all of that before Allah?

From the very outset of Prophet Muhammad's ( Salalahu Alaihi Was Sallam) call to the worship of Allah alone and in the days when Islam was a vital movement attracting most of those who came in contact with it (which was a long period in history), the average Muslim was quite a different example than what we have today. When he said, "La ilaha ill-Allah" and "Muhammadun rasul-Allah,", he did not consider those words as something to be pronounced and repeated without leaving any effect upon his thinking and behaviour. He understood them to mean that Allah, the Creator, is the rightful governor of this universe. He understood that from the time Adam was set upon the Earth, Allah had sent an eternal message to mankind, stating that whoever follows His guidance will be guided for his own benefit, but those who turn away in rejection will harm their own souls; and every soul will bear the consequences of its choice. He understood that Allah, God of the universe, i alone worthy to be worshipped and obeyed and that He alone has the right to direct one's life. No other man or government has that right, and rulers are to be obeyed only as long as they uphold the laws of Allah. He understood that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, chosen by Him to relay the guidance that was meant to reach mankind, and that he was a living example of this guidance- a teacher to be followed and obeyed.

No one ever imagined that sincerity was enough. How could it be when the Prophet had made clear that faith is neither by desire nor by adornment, but it is what has settled in the heart and is proven by deeds.

One might Imagine while seated comfortably in his chair that he could move the Universe. But when he reaches out to move a nearby table, he finds that the effort needed to do so may require that he arise from his seat; and if the table is large, it may require even greater exertion on his part. Thus, the belief that sincerity alone suffices is deception. No doubt, there can be no deliberate or fruitful action without prior intention. But what good is sincerity or intention in practical terms? Unless it is translated into effective behaviour, what is gained? There will be no rform, no progress, no accomplishment- no change at all.

And so Allah repeats over and over in the Qur'an that His reward will be for those who believe and do righteousness. He never said that faith alone or intention is sufficient. Faith must bcome a motive to positive action- to doing as one is directed. That means putting the word of Allah above all else- above customs and traditions, above the opinions of man, above one's own desires, laziness or reluctance.

All of this was apparent and self-evident to early Muslims. It was not their idealism alone which changed the course of history- it was action. They knew that the laws of Allah had been sent down to be followed, and that that was the true meaning of worship.

Among the contemporaries of the Prophet were those who erred and those who sinned. They were never free of human feelings or human weaknesses. They knew fear and anger and wordly temptation. The material of their creation was no different from our own. But the ever-present consciousness of Allah and the firm relationship with Him prevented them from decline, protected them from despair and continually renewed their hope. The first Muslims became unique examples of human excellence while never losing their human nature. Their society was one in which human potential was utilised to the utmost as simply a reflection of their understanding of Islam.

What happened to change that understanding to what we see in the outlook of Muslims of today?

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened! gIn fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.

We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never "fly"!


I asked for Strength.... .....And Allah gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom...... ...And Allah gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.. .......And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage..... ....And Allah gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love........ .And Allah gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors...... ...And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ........I received everything I needed!

A couple had been married for 25 years and was celebrating the husband's 60th birthday. During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.

The wife said, "We've been so poor all these years, and I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world."

The fairy waved her wand and POOF! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'd like to be married to a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy waved her wand and POOF! He was 90.

(Men sometimes can be Bastards,but Fairies are females)
