Gun, Somalia and hope

          
Every gun that is made, every warship that is launched, every attack on Mogadishu, and every rocket that is fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger but are not fed, those who are cold but are not clothed, those whose limbs are amputated by astray rocket but are not treated.
Those in arms are not wasting money alone, they are also wasting the natural resources of their motherland, the blood of their people, the genius of their future generation and the hopes of their children.

The current lose, pain and suffering of Somalia goes beyond the wildest of any humanly imagination, yet days pass as if nothing is happening.
We speak one language, we have one religion yet we opted for Qabiil that divided us so much.
We could end our differences with diplomacy but we resort to force, knowing that force is such a poor solution to any problem and thus its only employed by small children

in peace the sons bury their fathers .in war, the fathers bury their sons.---in Somalia, do we bury our fathers, or they bury us?.PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER ME.
                          The one Ayah that changed my life
One Ayah Changed My LifeAl-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad was famous for his piety and worship, but he was not always a practising Muslim. In his early years, Al-Fudayl was an infamous highway robber; he would prowl in the night for victims on the road from Abu Ward to Sarakhas. Between these two cities was a small village in which lived a girl that Al-Fudayl was in love with. One night, out of desperation to be with her, Al-Fudayl climbed the wall of her home. As he was climbing over it, he heard a voice recite:"Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah..." Surah Al-Ḥadeed 57, Ayah 16.
At that moment, Al-Fudayl answered, "O my Lord, the time has indeed come." He returned from where he came and sought refuge near a travelling party on the main road. They were busy engaging in a serious discussion. Al-Fudayl heard one of them say, "Let us continue our journey now." Another answered, "No, not until the morning, for Al-Fudayl is lurking on the road somewhere out there, just waiting to rob us."
Having heard the entire conversation, Al-Fudayl thought to himself,
"I go around in the night to sin, while a group of Muslims remain here because they fear me. Indeed I feel that Allah has brought me here to them only so that I can reform my character. O Allah, I indeed repent to you!"
The Moral of the story
What we can learn from this story is that no matter how sinful a person is, their is always a chance that they may turn back to Allah in repentance. Since we do not know peoples futures we should hope for their guidance. Sometimes the worst of people can become the best of people as what happened with many of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him). Jumaa Kareem to all Muslims.
