Quote:

Jilbab is the term used for cloth in Arabic. 
When you nickname something in Arabic 
using the same root as the word you're 
nicknaming (it's called tasgheer)
then it's either a sign of affection 
or disregard (humiliation).
This companion was called Julaybeeb. 
It was not out of affection. 

In a culture and society were lineage
and money were paramount... he was born.

Yet, we know not who his parents were. 
It's rumoured
that he was left by a caravan coming from Medina.
Dumped next to a tree in Mecca. 

His parents left him.

Julaybeeb means small torn cloth. 
It's the derogatory form of jilbab.

they're really hard to bring to reality, arent they? there's so many external factors that would cant help that comes and just turn your plans tupsy turvy.

and then you feel down in the dump - that expression is too nicely sounding to express how you feel when a dream doesnt happen. but whatever, cnt be bothered to think of something else...

so then u get this idea, whats the point of even having dreams if they might just get crushed like this?

or they might not.

Being offended when we are corrected, seriously reduces our chances of improving or achieving heights in any field.

We must always welcome those who correct us and show us where we are going wrong.

In most cases, those who regularly correct our ways and habits or errors in any field are those who truly care for us.

People who intentionally do not correct us are either insincere or fearful of our reaction due to being offended.

I wanna be - i think its called an inventor - but i dont think that job exists anymore.

anyway, i wanna invent recyclable pen, i wanna work into "green" discoveries and inventions. I wanna make "green" planes. but i think at some point down my "green" lane i'll have to give up on planes...too unenvironmentable unfortunately, or maybe not? maybe when i research into it, there will be a way to have green, environmental flights. maybe.

so back to planes, yeah. pens, markers etc... we just throw them in the bin and htey end up on landfills, pens are not recyclable and they are stuff we use EVERYDAY!

i wanna invent everyday materials that is recyclable, thhat decomposes when not needed anymore. e.g: hairbrushes, HEY! what abt toothbrushes!?

Although Islam recommends us to ask questions and clarify what we are unsure of, I think sometimes, it is possible to go too far with the questions. It's no longer asking questions, but questioning the reasoning, logicalness of something - it is easy to go from trying to clarify our own understanding to trying to make Islam make sense based on our understanding.

Wait, does that make sense?

It's a bit like the difference between"Is it compulsary to pray five times a day?" and "why do we need to pray 5x? once should be enough". 

That's not a great example but I think you'll get what I mean.

I think, this problem mostly arises when there is a lack of Islamic knowledge.
