Just feel like ready to write something. One of the thing that made me write was again Oxana’s story but already in Kapiton vol.3. She was writing about Meddle East and some of it traditions.
As many of my friends know I used to be not religious and became a Muslim not so far ago that’s why I understand very well both parts – religious Muslims and not religious Ukrainians or other Europeans or Americans or whatever. As all of you can, probably, understand my life changed and my values were reborn or corrected. One year ago I was just some European girl who didn’t know anything about Islam, was not so interested and pretended to feel that I knew enough and that I was on the right way and that many people lived like me and was a kind of happy and bla-bla-bla…
So, now I feel that many of my friends are still as I was one year ago, so, they can’t understand me completely, they can just pretend and then just forget about and go and do what they used to do, because it seems easy for them. To tell the truth – I feel a pain at such moments. I feel the pain also when people knowing nothing about Islam (and I really mean it), trying to find out nothing about it start to criticize.
How many of people who criticize wailing were wailed at least several days? How many people who criticize Muslim family traditions has been married or has a strong nice family? How many people who criticize 5 times praying has been prayed like Muslim do at least several days? How many people who criticize Ramadan has been fasting in this holly month? There are many questions like this….
This is what usual to the person – to be sure that he is doing right, that he is on the right way, and everybody who does in another way – they are funny or something else….They try to notice some false of others, or create them, but they don’t see their own disaster in their surroundings.
Ok, now let me ask other questions – mostly for Ukrainians : How many people did bad things because of alcohol and were regretting about it after? How many people repeated it? How many people were disrespected and continued their naughty behavior? How many people in Ukraine think that divorces – it is the normal thing? How many people pretend to have a good family, respect and love in it? How many people were harassed at work? How many healthy people we have in the country? How many people can overcome their desires? …..
There are many things to share, maybe, not in this format. Hope, at least to one person this letter was useful. Maybe for me… 8)
