Islamic celebration week

Islamic celebration week was wonderful experience. I as the organizer and as participant learned a lot. What i learned:

1. Do what you believe is right. People will question your stand. You need to be the first to question what you are doing. Find source and  evidences to proof why what you are doing is right. If not, change, leave your ego aside.

2. Never be afraid to be hated. People will curse you, blame you. do the best to still smile at them. Explain your reasons in the best way. They might or might not accept, but we have no power to do anything.

3. If you really think people are hating you, reflect yourself, if they are hating you because you really made a mistake, let go your ego. Make that change. But if you know you are trying to please Allah, stay strong.

4. Do not lose hope. Don't feel you are a loser. If they can't see the value you are holding, the true loser are them. Not you.

5. But do not revenge, being a muslim means you need to act peacefully. Still love them the way Allah ask us to.

6. Any ways, why am i tested anyway?

Because you are the chosen one. Not so many people get the chance the get the training.

7. Charisma? Forget about it. Only ignorant people appreciate Charisma alone. Because arrogant charismatic people can sell stuff but forget without an idea or the thing they have to sell, they would have nothing to sell. But they act like no one could do anything without them

8. If you have no charisma, don't be sad. Yes, normal people won't recognize you, but intellectuals will definitely. Yes, your ideas were stolen, but Allah knows. They get the name temporarily , but you'll get the reward, from God, permanently.

9. If you have charisma, use it the best way. That is a gift. But if you do not use it wisely, you will regret.

10. If you are losing friend while you are actually trying to do something good, you probably should appreciate their move because one day, you will need to tell them, you need to leave.

11. Do not afraid to say I don't know. That is better than to give a stupid and misleading answer.

12. Praise or curse, should not affect you emotionally. 

13. Hijab day, movie night, panel discussion, fast-a-thon. Alhamdulillah, all is well. Everyone learned something, i learned mine.
