today many participants (and protesters) from the G8 summit returned
to their homes. washington is home to one of them in particular.
the summit host slogan was "the place to be." german military used
force to repel protesters, the summit participants were feted and took
home goody bags that even included an official G8 Summit stick-on
tattoo.
and for all those people, the easiest thing to accept is that the
summit is over. the place to be is now that place that hardly
matters, except for what was (or was not) done there.
but how many of them accept, i wonder, that this life is only the
place to be for a designated amount of time. Allah subhanahu wata ala
has told us that the pens have been lifted and the ink is dry -- for
each of us and everything there is an appointed time.
and there is no doubt that we will each be held to account for our
deeds, so how will you and how will i spend our allotted time? where
do you want to be?
--
Whether you hide what you want to say, or speak out loud, without
doubt He knows what is in your heart. Would He not know Who Created
everything? He is the Most Subtle, the Most Aware. (The Holy Qur'an,
Surah Al-Mulk, v13-14)
Open your heart to Islam.
