Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to the masjid and so small when we take it to the store. Funny how big an hour serving Allah looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent surfing the net or watching T.V. Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Quran and how easy it is to read - 200-300 pages of a best selling novel. Funny how far the masjid seems 10 minutes away but the commute to work isn’t that bad. Funny how we are quick to complain why the Islamic Bulletin is being delayed when we are not volunteering to speed its production. Funny, isn’t it? FUNNY, ISN’T IT?
