Recently, i received an email from my ISP with a funny + seriously distracting column entitled "The best tips 4 a 'pro' Ramadan!"
Here it is, read it out cursory then i will show you what should be our behavior in actual being a Muslim particularly and being a Human being generally: | |
1. | Never walk down the hall without a document in your hands. People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. |
2. | Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. |
3. | Messy desk. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. |
4. | Voice Mail. Never answer your phone if you have voice mail. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want YOU to do work for THEM. |
5. | Looking Impatient and Annoyed. One should also always try to look impatient and annoyed to give your bosses the impression that you are always busy. |
6. | Appear to Work Late. Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. |
7. | Creative Sighing for Effect. Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the Impression that you are very hard pressed. |
8. | Stacking Strategy. It is not enough to pile lots of documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor etc.. |
9. | Build Vocabulary. Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use it freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember: They don't have to understand what you say, but you sure sound impressive. |
10. | MOST IMPORTANTLY: DON'T let your boss read this by mistake!!! |
Read it? Did u find it funny? Hmmmmzz.... Well! In lieu of taking it funny if we take it seriously then there are following issues i found in it (feel free to comment if you find more).
=> Holy month of Ramdhan is the month of practice to opt "Taqwa" (piety) but these points want us to be disguised with who we are not.
=> "Whoever deceives is not from among us". meaning of saying of the Last Messenger (Peace be upon him) in Sunan Abu Dawood, while these points clearly teaching deceiving.
Islam is a religion of truthfulness, which teaches human beings to be truthful and honest in all walks of life. It prohibits deception and hurting others. Lying and fabrication leads to innumerable sins which drag one down in to hell. To become a perfectly-mannered person it is necessary to refrain from lying.
Last but not the least,
"It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not". Andre Gide French critic, essayist, & novelist (1869 - 1951)
