so theres a little thing in my life, that ive blown out of proportion and its really beed bad.

then someone said something abt writing a poem abt it.

i frown and thought:

a poem? i wouldnt waste time writing a poem about THAT?! poem requires energy and focus and attention and ENERGY and thinking about the rhyming and the way you express your ideas and the idea order and all those other things I associate with poem writing.

i just thought, i'm not wasting my time on THAT for THIS!

-

then i remembered texting a friend about what to do with destructive energy. i dont know if you've ever had a moment where you just want to destroy something.

-

Total awesomeness.

I think they should win, without a doubt.

PS: Turn down the volume if you want.

A friend of mine shared this video, saying: '17 minutes of your time. I promise you all that this will have a profound, emotional effect on you. Please, I urge you to watch this without hesitation.

I know that we're all busy revising, or going about our lives... but this really gives you a beautiful glimpse into Jannah, SubhanAllah - It will inspire you. It reminds us of what we could have waiting for us in the Akhirah, it will move you and really make all of your worldy worries seem really insignificant. 

I am confused by the phrase: 'of whom He (swt) wills'

Does that assume that we do not have free will?

Does that assume that Allah (swt) picks and chooses? (Sorry that way of asking this question doesn't sound polite, but please see through that).

Help!

Consider this a thought experiment.

If Country A wants war with Country B, but also wants to be the righteous party, and suffer the least possible consequences to itself and its allies, how does it go about this?

First, Country B would need to be Isolated. They it will need to be "defanged" in order to control any possible damage to itself. Then the best part - Country B needs to be made desparate enough to be forced to attack first.

No innocent country attacks first. The Defender have the moral highground on their side.

Now let's apply this. Replace "Country A" with "USA" and Country B with Iran.

I'm not sure if many other people picked up on this, but there was a point when there was almost a massive crackdown on alcohol in the UK.

It wasnt in 1909. It was in 2013.

If it was successful alcohol would have been treater closer to how cigarettes are treated (so not really a ban and the Britain wouldn't have gone teetotal, but its a good title).

It was back in around March of this year when the there was a call for all advertising of alcohol to be banned, and the products have a mimimum price to push up prices.

For those of you who watch Doctor Who will know what I'm talking about.

Had this sentence stuck in my head for a while.

Don't know what to make of it.

What do you think?
