THE Strange Ironies of Life: Reflections to Inspire Change



Life is full of paradoxes, and often the people we rely on most can inadvertently benefit from our struggles. Consider this:

The lawyer thrives on our troubles.

The doctor relies on our illnesses.

The police catch us when we act illegally.

The electrician profits when something in our homes goes wrong.

The landlord flourishes when we fail to own our own homes.

The banker earns when we borrow beyond our means.

The private tutor benefits when our children neglect their studies.

Isn’t it ironic? Depending too much on others—or circumstances—can prevent us from taking charge of our own lives.

Life’s Lessons in Three

1. Three things come once in a lifetime:

Parents

Beauty

Youth

2. Three things can never be undone:

Gunfire

Words spoken in anger

Lost hope or spirit

3. Three things remain after death:

Good deeds

Knowledge shared

A legacy of kindness

4. Three things destroy respect:

Theft

Gossip

Lies

5. Three things to avoid:

Violence

Greed

Suspicion

6. Three things to always remember:

Wise advice

The value of time

The certainty of death

7. Three things to control:

Anger

Words

Thoughts

8. Three virtues to practice:

Honesty

Dedication

Love

9. Three things to abandon:

Falsehood

Arrogance

Hatred

10. Three things to use wisely:

The pen

Speech

Action

A Thought to Ponder

A pair of expensive shoes may lose their worth when thrown on the pavement, but a simple bindi, though inexpensive, holds a place of pride on the forehead. Value doesn’t lie in cost but in purpose.

History teaches us:

Salt, though humble, preserves knowledge. A true friend is like salt—simple, essential, and invaluable.

Sweets may attract ants, but salt stays pure.

Think about the contradictions we embrace daily:

We extinguish candles on birthdays but light them for the dead.

We distrust the milkman, questioning its purity, yet accept the wine vendor’s wares without hesitation.

The beast is insulted when called so, but the lion wears the title with pride.

The Takeaway

Human nature is strange, isn’t it? Yet it’s within our grasp to rise above these paradoxes. By practicing honesty, humility, and love, we can transform ourselves and those around us.

Don’t wait for life to happen—create your own path. Remember: your greatest power lies in your choices, your words, and your actions.

The consequences of not paying Zakat!

  The consequences of not paying Zakat! All the decrees of Allah are for the universal welfare of man. Every command and prohibition of Allah Ta'ala has two types of results or consequences.

Consequences of not paying Zakat: First of all: Since the wealth of the rich has the right of the poor and destitute, if Zakat is not paidProperty remains the property of others. As a result it is not holy. Allah does not bless impure wealth and the possessor of that wealth is deprived of Allah's mercy. Not only that, the people who do not pay Zakat or Sadaqah, Allah sends worldly punishments like drought and famine on them. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "If a community refuses to give Zakat, Allah punishes them with famine" (Tabarani). Secondly:Rasulullah (SAW) said, "Whoever gives zakat in the hope of reward, there...
