What do God wants most from you?

So, the other day I was thinking to myself about God. About different religions all that. Yeah, I'm that kind of person who thinks about God and religion almost all of the time. Every time, I watch my favourite shows on History channel bout the Universe, UFOs about humans etc. sometime with my knowledge I know bout religion would make me realize how everything is connected to God. Makes you realize why things happen the way they do.

Right, ok. So, back to my question what do God wants from us?

Absolutely nothing!

Let's think about it. God, didn't ask us to build temple of gold. He doesn't care what you do in this world. You want to fight for land, money, women. You want to be kings and queens?

Heck, you want to be conqueror of countries, civilizations and the human species. God, let you choose and decide. Everyone, have their own agenda in this world. But, the only one thing that God wants from you is to acknowledge that He is your God!

That's it!

To think of Him constantly. To say daily prayer to Him throughout the day. And, in those prayer to seeks solace, forgiveness, patients etc.

But, why is it so difficult for us to do that?

Why do some people still doesn't believe in God?

God is not asking you to fight each other for gold, land or women or anything. He doesn't need all that stuff because, He is the provider and doesn't need you to provide him. He provides you with land, with seas full of fishes and marine life that can sustains you with food for eternity!

He provide you with water, with air to breathe, with meat and mild to drink so that you can live a healthy and blissful life. Let's face it, life here could be heaven on earth but we choose to destroy ourselves. We choose to fight over limited land and food. Whereas, all this doesn't really belong to any of us. It belongs to God. He owns the land, the sea and the whole Universe for that matter. He wants you to share. If the world doesn't have boundaries wouldn't it be good for mankind?

There'll be no war and famines. There'll be no you or me. There'll be only us!

God, give us free will. He let us govern ourselves and we think, we're better then God. That's what happen to human. A little bit of land and we think we think we are kings!

Well, God is KING of kings!

He is the master of all the lands, seas and the Universe!

But, what does he ask of you?

Absolutely, nothing but quiet allegiance to Him. And, what do we get in return if we do that?

Heaven. Hopefully, heaven on earth and the after life. He gives you more then what you get in this pitiful earth.

Think about it people. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

That's it from me and feel free to comment if it so compels you. By, the way. I'm posting this via my Asus eee pc 701. I love this thing. It still works after all this years, even if they don't manufacture it any more.

Good day!

Don't lose your soul

So, you know, I've been people watching. Actually, I like to study human in general. Not, for any school paper or work but just as a personal interest. You, see, it's true. Everyday, I see people doing exercises in the gym, then I also see parents sending their child to swimming classes, ballet classes. In the morning they would attend pilate or whatever. There was also this one time a mother told me how her children has all this classes that they attend to and they have no time to play with a friend daughter. Obviously, all this classes is important to her and what she think is for her children. I'm not sure her children actually agree with her. But, hey, what do I know all this people who has money to burn?

Okay, so? You may ask. If you notice one thing and that is what's happening around us right now is they are only doing what's best for them in this world. They are only exercising to be fit, to have a better figure, to look well and feel great. It's all for the physical world. What kind of training or classes are they doing or attending for the betterment of their inner being? Their soul? I'll tell you, absolutely nothing!

I used to exercise in the gym and I can tell you, it's not all physical and mental training that we do. We do our own cleaning, we take care of the gym, to us or me, the gym have a soul and we should respect it. To me it's a kind of Zen. We learn how to be humble and not show off our physical assets. Yeah, we compliment each other but we respect each other, we respect those equipments. We wipe it clean with a towel every time we finish using it. We return the dumbells and the bar bells to it's places. But, I don't see all that anymore. People, just leave stuff all over the place without returning to its rightful stand. They don't care how messy the place looks and it's even dangerous as people need to walk around the gym without tripping over on dumbells.

They just took their keys and dump their water bottle and go off without even the thought of switching off the lights or the fans since they are the last person using the gym. I mean, can you see what kind of people they are?

If they have a personal trainer, I realized they didn't even bother to advice or teach their client how and why they should respect the gym. I mean, people do get hurt and I know if you don't respect it, it can certainly hurt you. Damn, idiots. Doesn't even have basic common sense!?

Don't they know there are other human beings who used the gym?

It makes me angry how inconsiderate all these people are. How they don't respect the gym, the other users etc. That's why I'm saying all these people really don't know the essence of the soul and they're just happy with what they see in the mirror every day. They are but an empty shell. Empty soul. Whose only interested in the mundace physical world. They are incomplete. Truly, I can't respect somebody who doesn't respect anyone else beside themselves.

All, I'm saying is, people keep saying the end of the world is coming. And, I already see the end before it even begin. If these kind of emptyness is creeping into everyone then the world might as well end right now. Remember, all those stupid classes you send your children or you yourself attend to are useless if you still lose your soul in the end. It's no use if you are the richest man in the world or the strongest but if you lose your soul. You will feel empty, you will still feel sad or useless cause, your inner beings are not taken care of. That's why some people keep doing what they do and still feel they need to do more cause they still feel empty even with all the success that they achieved. Even, having a mountain of gold they'll still feel it's not enough!

Having a good life doesn't mean, you're at the beach, sipping nice cold ice lemon tea. You can still have it good if your soul feel good and content with what you have. You feel happy playing with your grandson, having a nice dinner outing with your girlfriend or whatever that makes you happy.

So, how do you feed your soul and teach it and fill it full unlike the physical world?

To me, it's religion. Some people may beg to differ but I can tell you, even if you say you doesn't feel fulfilled with religion it's because maybe you're in the wrong one? Or, you haven't really learned it. It's not just about reading old text. It's about understanding what religion is. What it teaches. The truth behind all those written words. But, that's another story. You'll have to do your own research. Read, the story behind it. Understand it, learn and understand the meaning behind all those stories told.

Religion doesn't ask you to sacrifice yourself, your wealth and give it to your 'leader'. If you have more, you give a little back to society. If you're not rich then you can contribute by giving a helping hand to an old lady crossing the road. You can be nice to another person or whatever. You can help a person in need or maybe help your neighbour, a school mate. Religion feed your soul with wholesome goodness and can lift up your spirit. Sometime, you need a break from your hectic working or school schedule and look around you. Be free from the binding world that only pulling you closer to your grave. Why do some people die young? Because, their soul are empty and easily being led to destroy themselves. Teach, your children religion. Teach your children not just ballet or swimming classes but how to feed and fill their mental and heart with dedication to the survival of the human race. Teach them about GOD.

We can't avoid doomsday but they say we can hold it off much much longer if we cleanse our soul and teach our children and their childrens children the reality about religion and God. Don't just hanker over physical health, money and wealth or the world. They don't last forever. God does..

Think about it aye?

Stop stepping on the lion's tail you idiot!

You must be wondering, what's with the headline post right?

Well, today. My friend, forgive me but I'm going to talk about my faith - Islam.

You see, what prompt me to post about it today? Well, yesterday, I read about a Dutch guy who's going to promote his film about Islam. Now, I haven't yet seen his film and I can't say or very much more do anything about it. But, judging from the reactions, which is mostly online, I think, yet again, it'll spark mass rally and sometime into violent protest.

For me, I don't really understand why people like the Danish and Dutch guys INSIST on stepping on the lion's tail. If you keep stepping on the lion's tail, what you'll think happen? Obviously, the bloody lion is going to snap at you right? If you're lucky, it won't eat you up!

So, what give!?

If you don't know anything about Islam and keep pushing your stupid damn views then just bloody keep it to yourself. You don't have to rile people up with your stupid film, views, reviews or whatever crap you want to call it. It doesn't really matter. All you gonna do is putting more burning oil into the fire. When the FIRE rages out of control then don't blame us. Blame all this stupid people who insist and persist to throw out all common sense out the window.

There are practically billions of Muslims around the world and not all have extreme views or hate the non-believers. Personally, I don't care what religion you are in. It doesn't concern me. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.

I live in Singapore and over here we have multi-racial, multi-religions but we don't go around going after people and bomb them or hurl racial slurs or whatever. And, I've been living here since I was born 35 years ago. Yes, once we had racial riots but that was in the past when the country was young and we were all narrow minded. But, we learn from our mistakes and now we live peacefully with each other. In fact, sometime we celebrated together during religious festivities. When, I look at the other racial Indians, Chinese, Caucasians and others etc. I look at them as a person and not look what religion they are in. And, I believe they do the same to me. If not, I won't have any Indians or Chinese friends. We go to school and also work together without racial or religion prejudice.

In Islam we are taught that "for you is your religion and for me is my religion". It really means that we have no interest to talk about your religion and we hope you do the same for us. But, like I said. Some, still persist to want and impost their narrow views on Islam. I can only say that the only person who's going to get hurt is themselves. Please, for your own sake stop wasting your own time. Islam will not go away, the matter of fact is that it's expanding. Just like the universe is now. Some scientist stated that the Universe will in the end one day might collapse but believe me when I say this, Islam and GOD never will. Ha! What do you know!?

So if you can't say anything good about Islam then just shut-up.

I read in a recent newspapers that stated most expatriates think Singapore is like a fairy-tale. Because, we are so diverse and we live peacefully together. We have good governments and the place are clean and green. Although, some idiots might beg to defer. But, really. What more do you want? Just freaking look around you, which other country can offers relative safety and calm?

Okay, Singapore aren't perfect. But, nothing is perfect in this world. But, it's still better.

I think most people only read or see news about Islam from the television. Which is most of the time of course only show the violent demonstration and bombing etc. But, these people are only using Islam as propaganda. They are not fighting for Islam but fighting for land, politics or whatever. Of course, even Muslim would beg to differ my views on that. But, I can only talk about what I see and heard. I can't say that I really understand what's the children of Palestine are thinking or going through right now or the African Muslims.

One thing for sure, you need to talk to and listen to a real Muslim before you pass any judgment. That would only be fair. And, maybe we'll also understand you too for that matter.

That's all I've got to say.. for now. So, do please before you say or do anything. Think. That's all I ask. If you don't have any brain to think then at least use your kidney to think. Or maybe, you don't even have that too.

Good day and peace!

Towards Understanding secret of the Prophetic Kingdom

You know, I surf and do research via the Internet and sometime I come across websites or book on sales branding Islam as a dangerous occult, terrorist organization or what have you. If that were true, I would have been hiding somewhere training myself or planning suicide bombing. As, I'm a muslim, people would think I'm that. But, the reality is, I'm not. I'm just a typical guy, you'll meet and talk on the street.

I go see a movie, I go to starbuck, KFC or any other normal thing that others do. So, why are there still people out there still insist that Islam is a terrorist organization if there's 'normal' people like me in it?

I have to admit that, it's not surprising as in this world, you choose which side you want to be in. You can be in the camp of thoughts that think Islam is a dangerous religion but there will be another camp on the other side that think it isn't. So, which camp are you from?

(Note: If someone accuse you of something that you didn't do wouldn't you be angry yourself?)

Or maybe, you just don't know or don't care!

For me though, I'm not really interested in what you think what Islam is. There are some people out there that only have one view of Islam. It doesn't matter though. It's their problem and sometime you can't force people to believe in your view of things. We think what we want.

Anyway, life is simple if you keep it simple. That's my motto.

The world though, or life might not be so simple as you might want to think. There's so many secrets to life that if you dig deep enough you might find that it isn't so.

For example, some scientist wish to prove that God doesn't exist with their research and theory but what they only prove most of the time is that it's the other way round!

As if God doesn't know that some men would try to do that. Of course, for everything you do God has already prepared an answer for you to find. The irony thing is you are in a way helping God to prove that He actually exist instead!

See, how wise God is. It's like playing chess with God. The only problem is you'll never ever win! For every move you make or plan God already has the answer. And no matter what you do or try to do you'll always end up being checkmate! Duh!

Most of the time, man doesn't realize this. Just because God doesn't show himself doesn't mean He doesn't exist. There's a lot of ways you can know that God exist. In fact if you keep looking, keep studying, keep doing research you'll find Him. You will, if you look hard enough. Just by looking at yourself in the mirror you will see a miracle. You will realize that you're a miracle from a speck of sperm, you've grown to become a man or a woman. And then you study, work, get married and have children. The cycle continues. If that isn't a miracle then I'm not sure if you appreciate being born a human rather then an animal. Animal live by instinct but men live with a conscience. We can differentiate right from wrong. We can think. We have free will. We can choose. We can choose to believe if God exist. Do you want to forsake what God has given you?

See, how God has given you so much. But, to turn your back on Him. Then you'll only have yourself to blame. Stop pushing the blame on God. Most or rather all of the rubbish that's happening right now is all mankind doing. Did God ask you to go to war and kill each other for land, women, wealth? Of course not, stupid!

Earth is big enough for all of us. We create boundaries, not God!

We can share but we didn't. We can live together in peace but we choose not. One thing is for sure, we're all bloody stupid fools!

Enough said. God, give you brain so why not use it to think about what I have posted here today.

Well, it's almost 1 am in the morning. Time to sleep and ponder...
