...realizing that this what so many people? go through everyday. i pray for all those who go hungry and also those who die of thirst. to think, they have to go on for days straight like this, we break our fasts at Maghrib. what's more is that those people, especially in the so-called "third world" countries go hungry even while farming and what not to grow food to feed the greedy west. i hate living in america. to think, 17 percent of the world consumes/wastes 70 percent of it's produce. the food they work for given away to some greedy wasteful guy who has so much more to eat and just throws a lot of it away. america is so wasteful and we cause so much chaos around the world. i hate associating to such a place. i mean Nabi (pbuh) said that he who wastes food is the brother of Shaitan. think how much food is wasted daily in the U.S alone!
USA:
child: mommy i don't like this
mom: well then throw it away
POOR FAMILY:
child: mommy do we get to eat today?
Mom: we can't afford to. just bear through.
GREEDY AMERICAN: "i care about them" (secretly thinking "i don't give a darn about them. as long as i get to have all the food i want, stuff my face, have sex, get drunk, and tell everyone else what to do i'm fine.)
it just bothers me how someone can be so greedy and so ungrateful to Allah. i mean we're fasting for the sake f Allah and to gain His Pleasure and Blessings. they're starving but how many of us take the ime of day to pray for them. how many help them beyond what is obligatory? sure, people hear and see them and say "oh i feel sorry fir them. i pray Allah doesn't let that happen to us." but how many of us actually have true sorrow for them. who actually wants to help them? there plenty of us that do and insha-allah Allah rewards those of us that want to, try to, and actually do. what bothers me more is that here in america people are liars. they pretend to be poor. they put on ripped dirty clothes and sit in an alley begging for money. then they go buy a beer or some cigarettes. some people have more than you but they pretend to be poor to gain more. some will actually be gangsters in disguise as a part of some enrty requirement and they'll shoot you when you go to help them. what is this?! and some will ask for money to buy gas because they're "stuck" but in reality they have no car, they just want some money and they get it buy taking money that could've been used to help someone for reals. What is this?!! some people just take advantage of some one with a kind heart and when you give them money they'll go straight to the liquour store and and sit back down and drink while you stare in shock. WHAT IS THIS?!!! it's a shame when anyoen should have to be hesitant to help the needy. come on. what is wrong with this country? what is wrong with people!
