TIME

It has always been there revolving. Yet many of us including myself still remain oblivious with its existence. Once it's gone it's gone. We subconsciously take it for granted there is always plenty of time. Due to this perhaps we have indulge in various activities which are wholesale waste of time.
I want you all to look at the clock. Seconds after seconds it ticks by to attain a short term goal of making a minute. After reaching its goal, the seconds hand does not take a break. Once the seconds hand have helped the minute to make 60 movements, the minutes hand reaches its goal of making an hour. But none of the hands stop there. The minutes will now tick by with the assistance of seconds to help the hours hand move 24 times to reach its goal of accomplishing a day. In that one hour, the seconds have moved 3600 times and the minutes have made 60 movements.
Parallel to this, we never realize that loads of things can be done in our daily life. (Mind me, I did not say in our daily routine as I believe routines will never enrich our life). In between big tasks we can always find time to fit in plethora of smaller tasks.

Instances of time for more critical aspects in life for professions like doctors who have to perform life saving operations or a businessman who has to battle through the time to meet his potential client. For this group of people they know that once it's gone, they have just missed the opportunity to turn time value decay into saving a life or potential profits.

I'm not just writing this article for just that group of people. We can be very much incline to thinking that we have ample of time to kill especially for those who loves to laze around. No deadlines to meet and no surging needs of valuing time can lead the goldmine going to waste. That one obvious reason that a person has ample of time is because there is non-held responsibility.

Therefore it would be high time for us to take up some responsibility to feel enriched. (but take up responsibilities that is within your capability and when you know you are able to move out of your comfort zone that's when you realized that you have moved one step ahead). By taking up responsibilities, you'll find yourself exploring new things that will indirectly feed your stagnant mind.

I'm writing this article as a great reminder to myself that time and tides waits for no man. How productive one can be is by looking at how much things have been accomplished for the day. At the end of the day it makes you feel good

The facts of unknown

Every living being in this world deserves to live. What right do we have to take the life of other living being. Let us now ponder for a while to what I have to state. Why are there many efforts in creating a world of peace and harmony, yet there still exists famine, war, plethora of sufferings and the inconvenient truths. Does sanctimonious heart and thought contribute to all these negative forces?
This might sound irrelevant to some of you guys out there but let us all take it openly to what I have to say along the way. There are three points that I'm going to touch on and please put on the thinking cap when going to the next phase of my statement.

Water molecule
A groundbreaking work has been done by a pioneer Japanese researcher whose astonishing discovery about water, changed most of what we didn't know. Dr. Masaro Emoto has documented photographically the series of five mental stimuli on water molecule. You'll be surprise to note that the same water molecule in different stimuli has a different shape and aura. Some shines and some is dull depending on the thought that one has at that moment. Dr. Emoto speaks of the thought of what being the driving force to all the molecule. The science on how thought affects the molecule is still unknown.
Bear in mind that 90% of our body constitutes of water.
If thought could do that to water molecule, imagine what they could do that to our body. And indirectly to world as a whole.

Slaughterhouses
Meat eating consumers may be subsidizing the outlandish production rates and resulting in atrocities through their demand of meat. What happens behind the screen is unknown. Think about the short animal journey from factory farms, before they are being sent to your final fate, your dinner plate. Google slaughterhouse and you'll find the answer.
If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be a vegetarian (Linda McCartney).

Materialistic World
People are so into profit that they have actually forgotten their duties and responsibilities for the world. They have became too engrossed in their daily routine that they have lost the original nature. As a child we ought to respect parents and as parents they ought to execute their responsibilities as a parent. Among friends there are no trust anymore. They could go to the extend of back stabing each other for their selfishness. So many relationships have gone down the drain.

How are we suppose to reach the world of harmony when we neglect those small things? I'm pretty sure that the alarm bell started to ring in some of you all. When this happens, our original self is not truly obscure. Decisions are in your hands at the end of the day. The only advice I have is to do things which does not make our conscience cry.

Can Muslims be vegetarian

Note that the Qur'ân does not simply say to eat halal meat: it says to eat what is good and wholesome (tayyib), and what is halal. Therefore, if any food is not tayyib, the Qur'ân does not encourage us to eat it. Considering the diseases linked with meat eating (hardening of the arteries, which causes circulatory failure and stroke, in addition to other ills; gout; E. coli infection; and Mad Cow Disease), the hormones artificially put into animals, the filthy conditions of feedlots and slaughterhouses, and the danger of meat going bad, I can only conclude that meat does not pass the test of being tayyib.
I might not be the right person to comment on this and would rather want to know whether Muslims have the prerogative to do things according to their discretions and conscience.
