why is it ?

i wrote this a while ago and find myself still asking the same questions.

Why is it that...?
We are quick 2 point out errors of others but seldom recognize n correct our own.
We happily allow sin 2 continue but mock efforts of redemption.
We accept those who allow us 2 sin n reject those who try 2 stop us.
We enjoy teasing others but despise it when the tables are turned.
We question the intentions of others when we have been advised 2 assume the best about em.
We reject the advice of well wishers and deny ourselves the chance 2 prosper.
We treat our loved ones as if we have never loved them.
We treat some strangers as if we have always loved them.
We laugh at those with disabilities but dont recognize that our laughter points 2 a greater disability on our part.
We gossip endlessly about people but often will smile and play nice with the same people we gossiped about.
We love gossiping, vain talk and the like but seldom discuss Quraan n Sunnah with as much enthusiasm.
We dont listen 2 our parents and elders but carefully hang on 2 the words of our friends.
We ignore the advice of our elders but are quick 2 look in their direction wen things go pear shaped.
We argue and attack our loved ones but dont grasp that our stay in this world is temporary.
We regret when they are gone but not when they are in front of us 2 forgive them or seek their forgiveness.
We dont do what our parents or spouses request but we will try our best for others.
We shy away from making salaam but we know it was such a strongly emphasised Sunnah.
We wish for a wand or fairy 2 make things right yet each believer has the powerful weapon of Dua.
We chase after this world but we know that its only gonna 'run' further away.
We judge a man by 1 wrong action not realizing that we are all subject 2 change.
We judge by color,race and appearance yet the beauty of mankind is in its diversity.
We judge a mans appearance yet we know what is in his heart will always count 4 more.
We base our success on the recognition we get 4rm others not by the value it has added 2 our lives n the lives of the underprivileged.
We judge intelligence by report cards n certificates not on practicality.
We spend thousands on branded items and futile activities but when the beggar comes along he gets R2(if hes lucky).
We aim our efforts at people and seek their praise but our efforts should actually be directed at our Creator.
We find it hard 2 repent and think our sins are 2 great but we know that Allah's mercy is greater than His anger.
We spend hours shopping,playing games n talking nonsense etc, but we dont have time 4 2 rakaats Nafl Salaah.
We forget that Salah,Zakah,Fasting are compulsory,
NOT optional.
We think 2 highly of ourselves n develop pride when we do a little good but forget the enormous efforts of the Ambiya ,Sahaaba n Tabieen.
We lose hope at the slightest misfortune but fail to thank Allah 4 the blessings that are innumerable!



until you read again
