Everybody has heard a phrase American Idol. Yes, this no uncertain expression means celebrities. Let’s speak about all celebrities in general. These people often appear on TV, on advertisement panels, on magazines and newspapers covers. Internet is full with their photos. People admire them and go into rhapsodies over them; they make idols of them in the truest sense of the word.

Because, with a small number of believers being the exception, Satan has brought the great majority of humanity completely under his control. Without even realizing it, they are leading just the sort of lives Satan wishes them to, thus following him to Hell. (Harun Yahya) We associable idolatry with remote ancestors’ paganism, when people used to create totems from stone, wood, or any other material and believed that these statues had direct influence on their life. They thought that idols could bring them luck, miseries, fortune, diseases, good or bad weather and so on. We used to think that idolaters in Islam are pre-Islamic Arab pagans of jahilia times. When we imagine paganism now we mean something ancient, wild, something what is far from monotheistic believes and antithetical to our age of progress and technologies. But is this really so?

This is one of the inspiring stories of the great efforts Muslim Scholars made in seeking knowledge. Baqyi ibn Makhlad was only twenty years old when he travelled from Andalusia to Baghdad in order to learn hadith from a famous scholar Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Traveling to the East was fraught with a lot of difficulties. But his anxiety for knowledge was so strong that nothing could stop a young man. When he came to Baghdad he found out that Ahmad ibn Hanbal was under house arrest and was not allowed to meet people. Nevertheless he managed to find a smart way of meeting the scholar and learning from him.

If we open Quran as many times as we open our social network pages during a day, each of us would have become hafiz already. Just think of this phrase!

Today it seems world faces a new kind of addiction. I would call it “Fast food addiction”. Traditional family dinners are falling off the edge of the earth. Homemade food becomes a history in many families and is replaced by fast food increasingly. It seems that the reason of such popularity of sandwiches and chips is that they are affordable and easily available. But is it really safe and healthy food? Is it really halal food?

Self-righteousness is the trust in your own righteousness and to believe that ones' self is better than others because of a system that a person was either born in or has established for him/her self. We think of ourselves better than others because of whom we are, despite the fact that we are nothing but the sum of our experiences and the collective of our very limited knowledge. For all of us, the building blocks of our consieous existence and what defines us is always the same, Religion, Color, Race, Education, Social Standing and status and even Nationality but what is it in all that, that makes some of us think we are better than others?

Everyone Does Like This - So Will I

One of the most common temptations leading to the biggest disaster is the temptation of the words: "Everyone does like this." This quote said by an outstanding Russian writer Lev Tolstoy is most relevant nowadays. People cannot even imagine the degree of danger of this phrase. It leads to corruption of personality, to distortion of comprehension of difference between appropriate and inappropriate things. “Everybody do like this – so will I; if everybody does like this then it is normal to do like this”, - we say to ourselves. And gradually more people get involved into a great self-deception and distortion of moral principles. Soon it is treated as a norm of life. I want to give one story as an example. It is not a story about Islamic morals but it is about common morals.

Recently we have found a good story “The Price of Imaan” in internet. It is not new one and you could read it before in other blogs or forums. Nevertheless, I like it much and I want to share it. This story is about a situation which each of us could face every day and I am sure that the rest of people faced it. It is addressed to all Muslims as it reveals how a Muslim should behave and protect his imaan (faith).
