Seasons..
Its the end of season, all the shops have got those red tags with a white word that says "SALE" and offers are everywhere !! You have been waiting for this opportunity as you'll end up buying stuff from Saks for a 50% sale!! You know that the earlier you are there, the better your chances to get a one of a kind piece before someone else takes it away before you !!! Tough luck.. you haven't been waiting since 8am in the morning for the shops to open so you'd be the first one !!!!!! Its the SEASON !! so take advantage of it right?
----------
Imagine your broker calls you at 12:30 pm (considering that the stock market will close at what..? 1:30? ) in other words your time is so limited.. and there are many buyers who have their finger on the "green" button of the phone waiting for the prices to reach the minimum and they'll press that green button and tell their brokers to BUY !!! The prices of that exact stock you have been waiting for were unbelievably low.. are you gonna buy knowing that your returns are going to be 300% !!!!??!?!?! Well.. they'd tell you.. ya rayyall.. tra il mawsim beda.. the season started !! El soug tna3wash !!!

In both situations, how quickly are you going to react.. ?
How much investment are you willing to put on such a transaction ?
How many times are you going to hesitate? A little right?
How much are you going to benefit.. and how much will you loose?
Are you going to wait for the next season? Next opportunity? Next time?

Answered those questions?

Our holy "season" is about to end... if you haven't taken advantage of its first 20 days, then this is the peak of the season.. this is the maturity stage.. the point with the maximum infinate rate of return people.. !!!! Days that can be counted on your fingers are what is left from this month.. and this is the real SEASONAL PROFITABLE occassion we have !!!
The Prophet PBUH used to spend the last ten days in the mosque as what we call "i3tikaf" .. someone help me with the english translation of the word.. but its the process of staying in the mosque for the purpose of worshiping God and purifying your soul !!
I3tikaf could be as little as few hours as long as you have the niyah to consider these few hours you spend in the mosque as i3tikaf !! Read Qoran, pray to God, recite your thikr, your prayers, think.. and reflect... take advantage of tarawee7 prayers and if you can stay till 8iyam.. do it at least once..
A friend was telling me that she was thinking of doing that in the University's mosque.. am not sure if its okay shar3an.. but it would not harm if it didn't benefit.. !
People, pray for yourselves.. pray for us..
May peace be upon you all..

knt mthayzeh agoogle :p
Wow, great analogy Dots. I have actually been contemplating the same thing, for the last 10 days of Ramadan, how can the modern human spend the nights in the Masjid doing "i3tikaf"? Your suggestion to even spend a few hours there, or to do it just once is a great idea. If I can get free and find someone as a guide to help me find my focus while there, your wisdom will be at least rewarding to me!
Thanks.
Aww.. aint i honored to have your comments and insights in my world :D
If only you see how young people here are working on this sunnah with all their souls.. few girls went before the Friday prayers at around 11 and stayed till the prayers were done.. others stayed from taraweeh up till 8iyam which was four hours later..
Sitting in a mosque has its secrets.. :)
tell us about your experience one day plz..
thank you :)
