When I look at it from ur perspective I find ur point very valid but from my angle it is more about showing love and devotion through small simple gestures…like a peasant presenting a melon to the king…King doesn’t need a single fruit but the peasant gives it as a token to show that he cares and hopes to serve him onwards….. Likewise making ourselves worthy people is a way of showing Allah (SWT) that we care for His approval and His blessings….but then again, I quote: “this is just my personal opinion - and what other opinion can I really express?” :) @ Rakesh Personally I think keh if we are able to do what we are doing perfectly tht is also enough and when we strive for perfection then it implicitly implies that we are trying to do more than our share by walking an extra mile….. Though of late I have realized, it’s so darned easy to say things and set thresholds rather than being able to do them in all actuality. @ Lubz Hehe speaking philosophically, being happy or sad are relative terms….nobody makes u happy or otherwise it all depends on the frame of mind u choose to be in ….real nerdy eh ;) @----------- Although I think darkness is always there it’s actually the day that emerges out :) ….transitions friend..this too, will slip away someday soon, InshaAllah @Absar

Evn didn't read the book yet but hoping to go through the whole chocolate series as i am in the last stages of my sheldon's collection:D “It’s a blessing to have people around, especially ones who can keep your brain churning with activity and keep oiling your mind’s cogwheels with creative juices and ideas”

I simply find it insulting to religion. God doesn't need our 'gifts' as acts of good faith. We need his mercy. I know I might be looking at it from a completely different perspective, but that's just how I feel. I can't imaging 'gifting' something to Allah, but I hope to receive his blessings and mercy. That's how I look at it. Again, religion and faith is a very sensitive topic, so I'm being very careful to say this over and over - this is just my personal opinion - and what other opinion can I really express? :) I don’t know if I can elaborate.
