Question #1:

ramadan : what are your views on this?

Once the Messenger of Allah (SWT), was sitting amidst his companions (Sahabah) in the mosque, when all of a sudden Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said "Today I shall narrate a story to you all, which will reveal three riddles for all of you to solve". This hushed the crowd and they all listened to what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had to say.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) continued by saying that once a man got to know that the days in his life was numbered and very soon he would be confronted with death. With this knowledge he feared his loneliness in the grave and went searching for true friends who would help and accompany him.

He knocked on the door of his first friend and asked whether he would help. To this the friend said, "of course, what are we here for." But then the man went on to say that he had very few days to live after which he required help. As soon as he uttered this statement, his first friend said "I am sorry but when death does us apart, there is nothing we can do for you but buy you a place in the graveyard and some cloth /shroud (Kafan) to cover your dead body." Grieved but looking forward to his next friend, the man moved on.

On the second door, when he came face to face with his second friend, and after narrating the entire story of his death and asked for help, the same answer was his fate again. The second friend said "I have been there with you all your life and can help you here. But there's nothing I can do for you after you die except take your corpse to the graveyard and bury you."

Lost in agony and despair, he headed for the third friend, very sure that he would receive the same answer but there was a tinge of hope left. When he confronted the third friend, and told him that he required help, the friend eagerly volunteered to help. But the man continued to say that I need help after I die. To which the third friend replied, "Do not worry, my dear friend! I shall accompany you to the grave, be there with you in the grave, even when the angels arrive for questioning (Munkar and Nakir), then assist you on the Pul-e-Sirat (bridge) and then lead you to heaven. "To this the man heaved a sigh of relief and then passed away in peace."

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) then turned and asked his companions if anybody could identify the three friends and the man. When the prevailing silence didn't dissolve, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) continued to say, "The man in the anecdote is any other human being." The first friend is "money/wealth", things that help us only in life and not after we die.

The second friend is our "family/children/sons and daughters", we strive for them all our life and all they give us is a shoulder to the grave.

And the third and most important friend is "Aamal (deeds)". Who accompany us all the way through.

Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)Moral of the Story: Do not strive for materialistic values that will give you nothing and help you in no way in your eternal life. But work hard and pray and ask forgiveness from Allah (SWT). The good deeds assist mankind where every other thing loses value in the life hereafter!

Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):

"There are three friends of Human being - Wealth, Family and His Aamal".

"Whoever rectifies his hereafter affairs, Allah (SWT) will rectify his worldly affairs and whoever rectifies what is between him and Allah (SWT), Allah (SWT) will rectify what is between him and [the] people."

"At the moment when the coffin of a person is being lifted and carried, the concerning soul follows its corpse and regretfully calls: 'O you my children and my relatives! Beware that the world does not cheat you as it did me. I gathered wealth regardless of it being lawful or unlawful and left all of it for others. Now I am left with its burden upon me while they enjoy the fruit of it; therefore, avoid that which is similar to what happened to me'."

Question #2:

Tues nite poem to c/c Please? 20 characters okay?

Make your mark on the World, tear down the tall, tall trees
Cover that field with asphalt, and walk on styrofoam seas
Let no creature or thing get in the way of your dreams
Make your mark, make your money no matter whatever it means

Add it all up in the end and see how big a mark you left on the land
And they'll bury you next to the others beneath the shifting sand
You made your mark on the World, here comes another who also tries
And an asphalt parking lot soon appears over where your body lies

Don't make marks on the World, plant a forest of trees
Cover that field with flowers, clean styrofoam from the seas
Save all God's creatures and then, try to lend a helping hand
To those who try to erase the marks...left on the suffering land.

Question #3:

manny is guilty of drugs cause he backed down from 40 million, stupid answer from the guru?

answers from my previous question Click Here


i don't know if these people are plain dumb (like the guru, dewey and black dominance 2) or just hard headeds. they kept accusing manny of using drugs but still has no proof.

people here in yahoo thinks manny looks guilty on drugs cause he back down from a lot of money. not cause he backed down from the money, means he is on drugs. but let me simplify it. there is huge difference from LOOKING GUILTY and BEING GUILTY.

for example, people see me and ask if i'm Mexican but i'm not. i'm Asian. i admit it, i do look like a mexican, but it doesn't mean i'm a mexican.
another example, you look at salt. it looks like sugar but it doesn't mean it taste like sugar.
another example, filipinos look like stoned mexicans, but were not mexicans.
the moral here is that "you cannot judge something or someone without any proof".

remember the golden rule. "what goes around comes around" and also TO BE GUILTY, THERE HAS TO BE PROOF TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE GUILTY.

** if you still don't get this, it just means your dumba$$

Question #6:

Depression, all over again?

Okay so a few weeks ago i tried to commit suicide, but my brother saved me and blah blah so on..
I m fine now seeing a psychiatrist every few weeks
Lately i have been very happy, awesome day, had a blast in school
My brothers computer broke too.


So i was in my room writing my essay, then my brother barges in, and says: "i have work on your computer." and i'm like: "can you wait? i have to write my homework"
Him: Just get out for 30 minutes
Me: I said i have homework
Then he starts getting really rude
Me: if your gonna be rude FORGET about using my computer
Him: DONT TALK TO ME YOU PIECE OF CR**! JUST GO KILL YOURSELF AGAIN

You know what else he does? Steals my money, steals my parents money from their bags and blames it on me and they ALWAYS believe him, always treats him better and yells at me. Always *borrows* money and never returns it.

I m thinking its all my fault and now i am having suicidal thoughts again, right now i do wanna kill myself but i REALLY cant cause I love my friends, we are really close and we tell each other almost everything. But i dont wanna hurt their feelings me being sad so i decided to be on yahoo answers and get some help this time, cause unlike last time, i got kicked out of the house for talking back to my brother so i took it too deep and committed suicide as mentioned in the first sentence. I have major assignments due tommorow and i cant focus, school means everything to me and its something i m good at. (studies, socializing and all these things)

I m a very happy person in school. I live with my mom and my older brother, my dad see's us 4 times year cause of his job
my other brother who is the oldest is really nice, understanding and there for me. When my brother abuses me, my older brother tries to stop him an they always get in a fight and then i feel so bad after that i think i m using my oldest brother for my selfish problems

Question #7:

please someone help.am i in the wrong here very long please dont waste ur time if you dont plan to read it all?

I have been with my husband for 3 years we have two children together plus one on the way. His mother is addicted to pain medication. Her addiction has been a giant part of our lives since a few weeks after we were married she has been in and out of many rehabs in her life. She will call my husband and tell him shell kill herself because she doent have medication know he will give her his to avoid this (he gets 120 vicoden a month for a back injury). She has come into our home and stolen his medication several times. I keep telling my husband to stop helping her or call the police or put her in rehab or atleast let her hit rock bottom so she has no choice to get help but he blows me off or just casual mentions something to her but never takes it seriously..his excuse is she helps us out financially so he can't do that to her but what he fails to notice the only time she gives us money to help with bills is when he takes her to the hospital to get meds or when she knows he will give her pills. I mean that's basically drug dealing but he doesn't think of it that way. Recently he had to get surgury on his back so he was out of work for almost 2months and was in severe pain. If we don't pay morgage this month there's no way we can catch up and well lose our home. She offered to pay our 800 dollar morgage if he gave her all his pills. I told him not to do it but he said we have no choice cuz we,d lose our home. Well here we are 2 months later she continues to make excuses about why she's yet to pay morgage and he doesn't even have any meds to get him thru the next month of extreme overtime so we can catch up and his not even upset with her but I'm flaming pissed. I offered to put the kids and daycare and work "even tho I'm high risk pregnancy and am not soppost to work" if he stops ebabling her but still no change. He always says why should I worry about it and it doesn't have anything to do with me and it doesn't effect me but it really does. Especially the fact my children have to be around her. He doesn't realize she only acts like she cares about him and the kids. When she doesn't have meds she won't come around for days. And now if we lose our home he expects me to move in with her. I'm at the end of my rope and I'm considering leaving him over this... am I over reacting? Is he right? Should I just blow it off and is it my place to say something to either of them about how this makes me feel or would that be wrong cuz it doesn't directly have anything to do with m? I'm sorry this is so long.. please help me..only serious answers please. Thank u
Her husband is leaving her because she steals his money and he has spent well over 50,000 in rehab but its taking a long time for him to do it because they are so religious . Everyone in her family knows and they continue to help her even her mother helps her get meds. Nobody does anything they say they feel bad for her. It kills me. she's done our family so wrong and nobody tells her its not okay and just keep giving her what she wants. I do have a church we go to but everyone says it not my place to get involved.

Question #8:

What should I tell my ex boyfriend who won't leave me alone?

it's a very long story....but to make it short:
we started dating a year and half ago, fell in love. after seven months he told me he wanted to take a break from the realtionship although he still loved me. he used me for sex. I eventually told him that I didn't love him anymore, he got upset and I didn't care. we didn't talk for four months. then he sent me four messages on facebook talking about how he missed and loved me and wanted to see me again. we talked, he asked if I loved him and I said no and he got upset. I sent him a message explaining how I felt about him and that I didn't want to hear from him again.......
and now, about three months later, he sends me a message on facebook saying that he wanted to repay me for all the movies tickets (whenever we went to the show, I paid, because his family was/is poor and he never had any money) I bought, and that he misses me. I don't want to see him. I don't want to have anything to do with him. I'm so angry with him after realizing that he'd been lying to me while we were together. he's an aspiring actor, so he generally full of bs.
what should I do?

Question #9:

I told my pastor about my life and now I think he's ignoring me.?

I emailed my pastor a few weeks back telling him about my depression and problems with having been harassed and almost raped by another guy and how I now resort to alcohol as a stress reliever. And he's never answered me. I asked my other friends if he's answering their emails and he is.

This is wrote;
Let me start off by telling you a little about myself and my life. I'm 17 years old and live a somewhat normal life as of now, but only normal by my standards. My father and sister are very devoted Christians with just the right amount of ignorance to be a good Christian. I look up to my intelligent sister because she's the definition of a person with a good heart. My mother considers herself a Christian, but she loves money too much I think, but she is a most loving mother. Me, well I've had a somewhat disturbing life. I'm not sure how to organize everything into words, but I will try my best, so please bear with me. Ever since I've been a little second grader, I've been homosexually harassed by older kids. Until I got smarter and told them I didn't want to do whatever they told me to do. I've always had very supportive and Christian friends, but I never had the courage to tell them about me. All this harassment taught me to hide my emotions very well so no one really guessed I was depressed. It wasn't so bad in middle school until I got to high school and that was when the stress really got to me and my somewhat minor depression. I began to cut myself, only for the physical pain to override my emotional pain, and drink during school, but only during the most stressful periods of the month as a stress reliever. A little while back, I was cornered in a room by another guy telling me how he wanted to rape me only to be saved by a teacher coming into the room. I managed to threaten him and make him believe that that my "thug" sister would shoot him in the face and he backed off. This was during church. I go to church and listen to the sermons, but I don't consider myself a Christian... anymore. All my pastor seems to talk about these days is going to hell or heaven as if the apocalypse is already upon us. He would start the sermon off with a different topic, but it would always lead to him telling us that he knew some of us would be going to hell. From what I see, because Korean culture is such a huge part of being a Christian, my church has suddenly become a huge part of Korean culture. It's been perverted to a point I don't seem to be learning anything anymore. My grades in school turned to crap and I constantly get headaches thinking about what had happened to my life. I no longer speak to my sister because of a small misunderstanding. I began to get angry at anything that annoyed me or snap at anyone I think shouldn't be talking to me. I swore at my Korean teacher at school because one day he asked the class who was a Christian; everyone rose their hands except me. When he asked me, I told him I was undecided and he called me a fake Christian, which naturally pissed me off. I've considered going to a shrink, but I don't think anyone would truly understand what I am going through. I don't consider myself a Christian, but I really want to be a Christian. However, with what I'm going through, I don't think I could no matter how hard I try. I'll always just question Jesus. I know I believe in Him, but I don't know what I don't believe about Him. I don't know what it really means to be really devoted. I don't know why we live for Jesus for eternal life. What does it really mean to live an eternal life? I don't know if this is because I've been mentally scarred or because I've become too distracted with other things. Could you give me some advice and an opinion on what you think should be done. Please don't tell anyone about this. I have many friends that go to your church and I don't want them to be able to connect this with me.

Question #15:

His name is on the birth certificate, and he has been told to pay child support, but he has a history of withholding money if my sister makes him mad. He has been deported, but she has recently heard that he is coming back, and doesn't want him to take the baby away. Is it possible for that to happen?

Question #16:

Are parents allowed to do this?

I'm going to give you a scenario, and I need someone to tell me if parents have the right to do this. Here's the scenario:

There is is a PS3 I want that costs $280. My mom does me the favor of buying it, which in turn, verbally agrees to sell it to me for $180. I pay the $180 and get the PS3. Later though, I get into a conflict, and my moms fix for the problem is to take away the PS3 from me and sell it herself. She says she will give me back my money in the process. Now, does she have the right to take back the PS3 in question and sell it, and if I refuse to accept the money, do I have to turn it over to her? Because she literally took it from me. And wouldn't it belong to me if I payed the agreed upon amount? Please help. Need real facts on the matter as well.

Question #17:

Is this transaction Illegal?

I got a "job" at a jobs site as a personal assistant, and the employer sent me travelers checks.
He wants me to cash the checks out in my name and sent it to someone.
Are there any risks on this?.. like money laundering, some type of hoax or something? it just seems a little "weird" and I don't want to get introuble with the law..
Thank you
The cheques are definatelly not counterfeit, they look 100% real, and it's kind of hard to fake one of those as it has a little "chrome" stamp on it.
What should I do then?

Question #18:

Where can I send my original Xbox in order to get some GOOD money for it?

Question #19:

How can a person who is a loner, become more motivated without the direct help of others?

Hi! I am having an internal conflict. I have been tested as having a fairly decent IQ, but am not an analytical person. I have a very creative mind so to speak.

That being said, I love to paint, draw, write, create, etc. etc. I do not want to work for anyone else, but want to be financially independent relying on my own artistic abilities. However, I have NO MOTIVATION to start this endeavor. HELP!

How does a person get motivated, when money alone is of no motivation. I do not particularly enjoy the company of strangers, and do not have friends who are like-minded. How does a loner get self-motivation, without the help of others? Is it possible?

***SIDE NOTE****
My husband and I have had a successful business of our own for four years now, but I am not as involved as I would like to be due to the fact that I have been home raising two toddlers. This is the reason I am looking for an alternate means of financial independance, and I don't smoke pot!! LOL!!!!

Question #20:

Should i let her go despite our daughter?

My girlfriend Karen told me she is leaving me and she will be moving out of my apartment Friday. We are both 20 and we have been together for 3 years. She got pregnant at 17 and had our beautiful daughter Hannah. She told me i ruined her life by getting her pregnant so young. She told blames me for her life being horrible and for getting laid off recently. She calls me an asshole and tells me she used to love me but now she hates me. She said i was immature for not using a condom and assuming she was on birth control. Hannah lives with with her mother's parents because she would not let our daughter grow up in an apartment. I've been saving up money to buy a house and took on two jobs just to earn more money for a future home. She told me she doesn't give a shit anymore and she can't even stand to look at me. We haven't had sex in a while. Sex is usually the one constant in our relationship. We have argued a lot before it has not be an easy ride like we expected after we found out she was pregnant but we always worked our problems out. I love her and don't want her to break up with me or leave. Plus i worried she will take Hannah with her who means the world to me. Should i let her go or try to resolve our issues?
