Point To Ponder

I was walking back after Friday prayers and saw a car with a big sticker on the rear window saying boldly in black and yellow - Fear Allah.

I don't know, but it feels wrong to preach based on fear. Compare that to the 'I Love Jesus' stickers instead. When you fear, you often find ways to rebel. But when you love, you do more than you are supposed to. Isn't that often the case?

Agreed.

That's the problem here.

We were born & raised with the emphasis of fear, ban (ohhhh, tell me about it!) and 'shouldn't-s' instead of motivation and encouragement to love all things kindness.

I swear I'd raise my kids to be a good Muslim person with a kind heart & healthy body rather than to dress & eat like the Arabs.
