Islam: The brighter side
They age faster than dogs. Furrows invade theirforeheads. Their hair lines recede. Their skins wrinkle. They reach rockbottoms. You get to see their whole lives flashing like a speeding Ferrari in atrue Hollywood story show. They start their careers with a blindobsession for recognition and fame, walk through it like starving men chasingdistant mirages, and trudge to dead ends tortured, consumed, and dark from theinside.  
  
We perceive it as a life style in high definition.Pretty feminine faces, spectacular physical shapes, and the clothes we'd ratherwear. The romance we'd rather feel. The meticulously designed cities,reflecting the prestige that the human mind can offer when employed in worldlyfields.  
  
Kings on stage, slaves on ground; gods onscreen, brainwashed in homes; you've to snap your fingers long enough to winthe attention of strayed dogs; you've to redden the faces of corrupt femaleswith cheap crayons to offer them as virtuous , liberated females to theunaware. Break a glass painting of the devil into shreds and pieces and thosewho are too idle to search for the complete true image shall fall for the charmof a separate shred of the devil's dragon-like tale. 
You cannotrecognize the evilness of a killer if you decided to watch him asleep. To you,he may look as beautiful as blue-eyed men. It takes a commitment to know the true colors of aresting murderer by staying long enough till soberness dispels his comfort.Maybe if you watched how his eyes seem to radiate with darkness, you'd feel willing to alter aperception. It can change a lot to flip a shining coin, to tread on the surfaceof an unpopulated moon;you get to see the dim sides and the jagged surfaces. It can change a lot tofollow a gut feeling, to respond an innate voice in you, telling you that thisis just not right. Follow that and it shall resemble tracking the loose end ofa frayed, overused rope that leads to the happiest places of all. And remember:there's a lot of harm that can be done out of making good people look bad.   
One-dimension perceptions of a reckless lifestyle are on sale. Obsession and blind submission to different cultures is thenew trend. It satisfies the planners to see crowds of people walking in adirection that has already been planned; it gives them a rush, a reason tochuckle mischievously. 
Can you keep a secret? I am a Muslim fearingIslam. I am an Egyptian belittling the potentials of every youngster with avivid pulsing heart because I believe that hope no longer exists. Speakingother languages secures me; it gifts me the belonging I lost, the identity Inever sensed.  
They die with spilled glasses of wines; withtheir animalistic cravings objectifying women to repulsive extents. Theirhearts cease pulsing when darkness envelopes and overpowers. Their minds escortthem to the darkest places when a limitless indulgence in life becomes a drug.  We never see that. Or, maybe we don't want tosee that. Their life style is the glass painting of the devil. May Allah guideyou to pick the darkest scrap of all. May it urge in you a turbulent curiosityto further investigate the truth; to pursue the true meaning of happiness.   
'' We pay for the disease while the cure isfree,'' a former hip-hop artist confessed with unflawed sincerity. He embracedIslam. He embraced it because he couldn't purchase peace. His speech was aspowerful and enlightening as it can possibly get. It touched my core. When realmen defy everything and go for a restless pursuit for peace and comfort, thingschange. We look up to the people that represent the completeness that we're toofeeble to achieve. Like the ones who are not consumed by apprehensions aboutwhat people think and are willing to speak the truth regardless of what; wesilently respect them because we fail to be as resilient and solid as they're.   
Wait long enough after everyone leaves to seehow the most beautiful stars challenge their insecurities and low-self esteemsin front of wide mirrors. Investigate the beliefs and life of the most articulatepublic speakers to explore the ulterior intents resting firmly n their hearts.Question the misconceptions about Islam to come to terms with a life styleunequaled. The truth is always caked with dust. You can find it on high shelvesor in deep pits. You cannot seize it easily. Embark on a journey for viewingthe other sides of everything. Be objective, truthful and rational andeverything shall dress up in change. --------------------------------------------ιиѕριяє∂ ву:Watching numerous videos on people who recently embraced Islam and how enlightening their speeches are
