ISLAM and the AIM of LIFE
What is your purpose in life? What is the rationale behind our life?
Why do we live in this life? These questions frequently intrigue
people who try to find accurate answers.
People provide different answers to these questions. Some people
believe the purpose of life is to accumulate wealth. But one may
wonder: What is the purpose of life after one has collected colossal
amounts of money? What then? What will the purpose be once money is
gathered? If the purpose of life is to gain money, there will be no
purpose after becoming wealthy. And in fact, here lies the problem of
some disbelievers or misbelievers at some stage of their life, when
collecting money is the target of their life. When they have
collected
the money they dreamt of, their life loses its purpose. They suffer
from the panic of nothingness and they live in tension and
restlessness.
Can Wealth Be an Aim?
We often hear of a millionaire committing suicide, sometimes, not the
millionaire himself but his wife, son, or daughter. The question that
poses itself is: Can wealth bring happiness to one's life? In most
cases the answer is NO. Is the purpose of collecting wealth a
standing
purpose? As we know, the five-year old child does not look for
wealth:
a toy for him is equal to a million dollars. The eighteen-year old
adolescent does not dream of wealth because he is busy with more
important things. The ninety-year old man does not care about money;
he is worried more about his health. This proves that wealth cannot
be
a standing purpose in all the stages of the individual's life.
Wealth can do little to bring happiness to a disbeliever, because he/
she is not sure about his fate. A disbeliever does not know the
purpose of life. And if he has a purpose, this purpose is doomed to
be
temporary or self destructive.
What is the use of wealth to a disbeliever if he feels scared of the
end and skeptical of everything. A disbeliever may gain a lot of
money, but will surely lose himself.
Worshipping Allah as an Aim
On the contrary, faith in Allah gives the believer the purpose of
life
that he needs. In Islam, the purpose of life is to worship Allah. The
term "Worship" covers all acts of obedience to Allah.
The Islamic purpose of life is a standing purpose. The true Muslim
sticks to this purpose throughout all the stages of his life, whether
he is a child, adolescent, adult, or an old man.
Worshipping Allah makes life purposeful and meaningful, especially
within the framework of Islam. According to Islam this worldly life
is
just a short stage of our life. Then there is the other life. The
boundary between the first and second life is the death stage, which
is a transitory stage to the second life. The type of life in the
second stage a person deserves depends on his deeds in the first
life.
At the end of the death stage comes the day of judgment. On this day,
Allah rewards or punishes people according to their deeds in the
first
life.
The First Life as an Examination
So, Islam looks at the first life as an examination of man. The death
stage is similar to a rest period after the test, i. e. after the
first life. The Day of Judgment is similar to the day of announcing
the results of the examinees. The second life is the time when each
examinee enjoys or suffers from the outcome of his behavior during
the
test period.
In Islam, the line of life is clear, simple, and logical: the first
life, death, the Day of Judgment, and then the second life. With this
clear line of life, the Muslim has a clear purpose in life. The
Muslim
knows he is created by Allah. Muslims know they are going to spend
some years in this first life, during which they have to obey God,
because God will question them and hold them responsible for their
public or private deeds, because Allah knows about all the deeds of
all people. The Muslim knows that his deeds in the first life will
determine the type of second life they will live in. The Muslim knows
that this first life is a very short one, one hundred years, more or
less, whereas the second life is an eternal one.
The Eternity of the Second Life
The concept of the eternity of the second life has a tremendous
effect
on a Muslims during their first life, because Muslims believe that
their first life determines the shape of their second life. In
addition, this determines the shape of their second life and this
determination will be through the Judgment of Allah, the All just and
Almighty.
With this belief in the second life and the Day of Judgment, the
Muslim's life becomes purposeful and meaningful. Moreover, the
Muslim's standing purpose is to go to Paradise in the second life.
In other words, the Muslim's permanent purpose is to obey Allah, to
submit to Allah, to carry out His orders, and to keep in continues
contact with Him through prayers (five times a day), through fasting
(one month a year), through charity (as often as possible), and
through pilgrimage (once in one's life).
The Need for a Permanent Purpose
Disbelievers have purposes in their lives such as collecting money
and
property, indulging in sex, eating, and dancing. But all these
purposes are transient and passing ones. All these purposes come and
go, go up and down. Money comes and goes. Health comes and goes.
Sexual activities cannot continue forever. All these lusts for money,
food and sex cannot answer the individual's questions: so what? Then
What?
However, Islam saves Muslims from the trouble of asking the question,
because Islam makes it clear, from the very beginning, that the
permanent purpose of the Muslim in this life is to obey Allah in
order
to go to Paradise in the second life.
We should know that the only way for our salvation in this life and
in
the hereafter is to know our Lord who created us, believe in Him, and
worship Him alone.
We should also know our Prophet whom Allah had sent to all mankind,
believe in Him and follow Him. We should, know the religion of truth
which our Lord has commanded us to believe in, and practice it ...

Here's a heartbreaking story: A dog owner is asking the public to
demand the recall of a chew toy after it caused an injury to their dog
that required amputation of its tongue.
On Sunday, June 22, 2008 my 10-year old lab mix, Chai, sustained a
severe injury from a product that the company Four Paws Inc, produces.
The toy I'm referencing is the pimple ball with bell. (Item
#20227-001, UPC Code 0 4566320227 9)
While chewing on the toy, a vacuum was created and it effectively
sucked his tongue into the hole in the ball. From speaking with my
vet, this likely occurred because there is not a second hole in the
ball preventing the vacuum effect from happening. I became aware of
this when Chai approached a friend at my home whimpering with the ball
in his mouth. She tried unsuccessfully to remove the ball but the
tongue had swollen and could not be released.
Chai was taken to the Animal Medical Center (an emergency care
facility in New York City) and was treated by Dr. Nicole Spurlock to
have the ball removed. Because the size of the opening on the ball was
so small, all circulation to his tongue was cut off. The doctors had
to sedate him in order to remove it. Once the ball was removed, his
tongue swelled to the point that he could no longer put it in his
mouth. Chai was sent home with care instructions and to be observed
overnight for any changes.
By the following morning Chai's tongue had swollen even more.
He was taken to his regular vet, Dr. Timnah Lee, for treatment. He
was admitted and kept sedated for a period of three days during which
time they were treating his wounds and waiting to determine how much
of his tongue could be saved. On June 26, 2008 Chai had his tongue
amputated.
He was kept in after-care for an additional three days. On Sunday
June 29th I brought Chai home from the vet with a barrage of home care
instructions, to last for an additional 7 days. His next visit was to
have his mouth re-examined and have the feeding tube in his neck
removed.

The APY on my credit union savings account is only 1.51%. Since this is
far below current inflation, I am actually paying them to borrow my
money, and my balance is worth less and less each day.
Looking at Bankrate,
<http://www.bankrate.com/brm/rate/mmmf_highratehome.asp?params=US,416&product=33>
it appears the best money market account is still only about 3.6%
Meanwhile, inflation is 5.6%
<http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20080822/COLUMNIST/808220325/2107/BUSINESS>
Is there some safe place to put my money where it will not shrink, and
still be available on a few weeks' notice?
Or should I just blow it on a vacation before inflation eats it away :)

Some places do offer much better rates than that, like around 8%
That does involve foreign currency exchange risk tho.

Probably not with the USD increasing in value currently, depending on
whether you are talking about a vacation inside or outside the country.
If you do have a mortgage, its best to have one that allows you to pay
off the mortgage at a faster rate and draw it down again as you need
to spend on something. That involves a substantial cost to change to
that sort of mortgage tho and you should have gone for one of those
when you got the mortgage in the first place.

You could use it as seed money to start your own business in one of these
promising growth industries:
debt collector
skip tracer
repo man
foreclosure assistance
suicide counselor
bankruptcy attorney
payday lender (ok,maybe not this one.)

Certain inverse (ET)funds, if carefully screened, continue to offer
opportunities to profit and shall continue to do so as long as the stock
market moves downward or even when indexes remain static. As long as
that condition obtains, such funds maintain the same liquidity as any
other ETF but, of course, become less so during a (significant) market
rally.
Basic reading here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_etf
Leveraged funds, particularly certain so-called "short" ETFs, also
have done quite well during this market downturn while others have, at
the least, lost much less than the overall market as reflected in the
indexes. Investing in these vehicles, though, is not for the
faint-of-heart or for the inexperienced investor. Take a look here:

Be advised, though, that the two above citations are commercial sites
under the same corporate umbrella. A little W3 searching should uncover
at least a few more objective sources.

Labor Day: MAYDAY - Why Do You Stay Day?
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday
observed on the first Monday in September.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day
May Day, similar to the International
Workers' Day, or Labour Day, celebrates
social and economic achievements of
the labour movement.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day
MAYDAY - MAYDAY is used to signal
a life-threatening emergency.
Russia: Why Do You Stay Another Day
in Georgia? Are you trying to damage oil
and commodity price stabilization in the US?
Yes? The world economic outlook is highly
uncertain, as long as you stay in Georgia:
lost revenue, damage to customer relations,
and inciting employee unrest worldwide.

I'm in the process of buying a new car and I came across this really
useful site where I got the following from:
http://www.BuyingAdvice.com
A comprehensive researched list of reliable used cars can be useful to
the used car buyer.
We suggest finding a one-owner used car, that has been cared for, it
has its service records (that show they changed oil on schedule and
maintained basic manufacturer recommended service per the owner's
manual) and ideally, owned by someone who is more stable like a senior
citizen, than say a teenager. The reason is that odds are that a more
experienced and stable person is going to maintain service.
The vehicle should have a clear CarFax record. I would look
nationally, because this type of vehicle is going to be hard to find,
and ideally use a service like CarChex or a mechanic to inspect the
vehicle before you buy it -- (to help spot upcoming repairs).

good for you buddy...
this is just simple seo, no spam, as it will not trascend into
something larger like a farm... in any case, an insightful and really
informative source for car buying tips, car loans, calculator and such
is indeed http://www.BuyingAdvice.com and I go back and forth from
here to the US, as I have all my family living there, so next time,
reserve it.

I have recently become very interested in green fitness and feel it
involves being frugal at the same time. Sure you may have to purchase
a few new products to green your fitness in the end this will pay off
tremendously. For example purchasing a bike for your fitness routine
as well as your commute is a great way to become frugal and fit. I
also consider biking a wonderful green fitness activity that can even
be performed for fun with the family. Get the kids a bike you a bike
and make an evening activity for all. If you would like to understand
more on this topic you can visit my new website I have dedicated to
this topic. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to
contact me at anytime. My website is http://www.greenfitnessworld.com
