~&~ The Story Behind The Elevator ~&~

Do you know what is frustrating?

when u see some people under-estimating and dis-respecting others..

u feel u just want to punch them in the stomach :D hehe no i am kidding of course

lemme tell u two short scenes in the hospital i am working in

Scene one 1:

i was in the elevator with 3 people i think..one was a local man..and another indian talking in is mobile in a relatively high voice ..when the local came in..after few seconds he said

" THIS IS A HOSPITAL..WHAT IS THIS..!! YOU SHOULND'T TALK IN THE MOBILE"

something like that and he said it in a very disrespectfull and angry manner..i was shocked so was the indian..i felt soooooo angry..what gives him the right to treat people like that?

i am not saying all locals are like this..being a local myself although originally iranian..i see many good locals so its not necessarly about naitonality its about personality and manners and Good or bad udnerstanding of islamic principles..

Scence two 2:

i was in one of the hospital's sections..the elevator opens.. an indian or something worker with a medium cartoon box wants to get it and its kinda crowded..but he eventually gets in..although maybe perhaps he should have waited but still he managed to get in..one local guy says soemthing like.."what is this..put the box over ur head..i" loool i know it might sond funny but i got soo angry i mean come on...!!!! isn't that just soooooo frustrating :@@@@@@@@@...!!!!!!

if ur local..or lebanese or whatever it doesnt mean ur better than others..some foreign workers work more than us with bad conditions and minimum wages so show some respect pleaase..!!!! :@@@

Would u be proud of ur self knowing Allah is watching ur actions..? would u do the exactly same attitude if u our prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him- was with u in the elvator..!!

think about it..we would change many many of our actions and attitudes if our phopher -peace be uponhim-was present..although we know Allah watches us all the times but perhaps sometimes we r ignorant or forget or to try to forget...this is a reminder for me..as well as for u..

قال الرسول الكريم-صلى الله عليه وسلم- أمام الجموع الحاشدة في حجة الوداع: "يا أيها الناس، ألا إن ربكم واحد وإن أباكم واحد، ألا لا فضل لعربي على أعجمي ولا أعجمي على عربي ولا لأحمر على أسود ولا أسود على أحمر، إلاّ بالتقوى..."

2- رواه أحمد في مسنده 5/411 عن أبي نضرة عمن سمع خطبة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وسط أيام التشريق. وذكره الهيثمي في المجمع (3/266) وقال: رواه أحمد ورجاله رجال الصحيح. ونقل الشيخ الألباني عن ابن تيمية في (الاقتضاء 69)، أنه قال: إسناده صحيح.

So..here is my Question..What do u think of those two situations..?do u think its out of ignorance or arrogance or what exactly? and What Would YOU do in those situations...would u just watch and keep quite..or defend the indian guy and worker or show ur anger or disapproval..?

for my self..i just kept quite cuz i don't find the levator a good place to advice people lool plus there r other people and some important conditions of good advising in my view is to:

1. Watch for the right TiminG

2,. The PlacE and PrivacY

3. The WaY of SendinG ur MessagE and AdvicinG

Last few words: I Beleive we need to read more about the prophet's Mohammed peace be upon him- actions and manners towards other people and have a better understanding of The Islamic PrincipleS AND MENTIONING THESE STORIES DOES NOT MEAN I ALWAYS TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT..BUT AT LEAST WE SHOULD WE AWARE OF IT AND TRY TO BE BETTER

اللهم اجعلنا خيرا مما يظنون واغفر لنا ما لا يعلمون وارزقنا رفعة المقام عندك يا رب العالمين في الدنيا والآخرة اللهم آمييين
