Salam Alykum
Dear community, peace and love
Look up and Smile, because life is Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
ICUC board, teachers,volunteers and Imam are very thankful for our community on ICUC 13 years of anniversary🙏.
Imagine all the people living over 100 years ago, we do not know them, we do not know what they did, what they were thinking, who they loved. They had family, friends, joy and sorrow, possessions, dreams, desires, thoughts, and they would have worried about things, worry about how they look, what someone said, gossip, just as we do now. But more than 100 years later, who knows and who even cares.
The life of these people, all their dreams and thoughts, are gone forever. But the legacy and the massjid’s they built stands tall to show our generation their hard work and determination toward their faith and Islamic education.
There is a moral to this story.
We might be annoyed or angry with someone, maybe they said something we did not like, or did something we did not agree with. Now we harbor feeling of negativity, leading to stress and maybe even anger. But does it really matter, will we still be angry in a year, and what about 100 years, who will know or even care about something so small that is making us angry now.
Is this really worth creating stress and worry, leading to anger?
Also constant stress is only going to give us future health problems anyway.
Life will be a mixture of good and bad over our lifetime, but the biggest single thing that will happen is... we are going to die. So, all those little things we worry about cannot be worse than this. What would stay is the massjid’s and the knowledge, education and our legacy.
No matter what happens to us during our life, we really only have two options: we can handle life well and be Happy, or we can handle life poorly and be Miserable.
The short time we are alive we need to live our life to the best of our ability, if we focus on our problems then the problems will only pull us down. Instead we are better to focus on our possibilities because this will lift us up. Better to live our life with laughter and happiness, follow our dreams, take a chance, go forward with passion rather than live with regret.
Life can be full of joy and laughter, or it can be full of regret and negativity, the choice is ours. So, let’s begin the day with a beautiful smile, feeling blessed and happy, because life is not always perfect, but it is always beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
