Iron Muslim

\\ Movie Reflections \\

In retrospect, we (muslims) have a lot in common with Tony Stark a.k.a Iron man. You know how Tony has an arc reactor on (technically, in) his chest to prevent shrapnels in his blood vessels from reaching his heart, else he'd be in *deep sh!t*. No kidding. Also, he has a cool armoured suit :>

Okay so how does any of that relate to being a muslim?
Look at it this way, (not meant to be taken literally, though) as a muslim, we have our imaan (the arc reactor),
and we need it to keep running to prevent us from committing sins or evil doings ( the shrapnel ),
and if it reaches to our heart, well-- *repeat previous quote* it stains.
Every once in a while, we gotta renew our imaan so it doesn't dry out.
The suit? well, Tony uses it to fight the bad guys, shooting missiles and all that *fancy*, and save lives, of course. We use da'wah, and du'a to rescue others. If you are a muslimah (woman), then your hijab (veil) would be your armour.
But it all starts from the inside, the heart, our imaan. Build it half-assed, and you won't go far with it.
So we are heroes after all, huh?
Minus the tight spandex and masks and  secret identity.

Even before we were born, we pledged to Allah to become the Khalifah (leaders) of the world.
So if we are to be heroes, we gotta start acting like one.

"with great power, comes great responsibility."

See what I mean? superhero cute.

 A little dedication to all the muslimah, our heroines.

A woman can save the people around her,

A daughter can save her father,

A wife can save her husband,

A mother can save her child,

A woman can save herself,

All from the scorching hellfire,

O how great you are

And all of those, if she is entitled  'mukmin'.

Wallahu'alam, pardon my minor sidetracking.

From a hero, to a fellow superhero. Start with bismillah,

Little in Size, Big on Dreams

The TV cable hasn't been giving me much entertainment, it keeps on cycling the same episodes daily. But the advantage to it, it has this school break marathons, and I got to watch one of my childhood Disney movies-- Finding Nemo. You know, the one about, well, this fish right here

Say HI Nemo! weeurrrrrt ~

look, it's Nemo and his daddy!

*don't judge me. I watch a lot of cartoons*

\\  Movie Reflection \\

I prefer movies like this 'cuz they have a different definition of LOVE. In this case, a fish's love for another? father-son, that's the word. *Fishes can be affectionate too,  just so you know* 

Marlin swam through the vast ocean trying to  rescue his one and only son. Oh the fatherly love..

Okay lets not state the obvious about the story.

The part that got to me was when Marlin's story went viral, spreading out faster than he could swim. Suddenly the whole world ocean knows his story-- story of a small fish, a clown fish. See how much one small fish can do? His adventure is heard throughout the seas-- his actions changed a little bit of everyone's  life. So if a little fish can do just that much, how  much can WE do? We, Khalifah (leader) of the world.

But really, Marlin (Nemo's dad, just to be clear again) did something, that to me was greater than anything in the movie, was when he changed one person's life, completely.

This wonderful fish--Dory be 'er name. Cheerful, but  forgetful. And  when she met Marlin, it brought out the better in her, she starts remembering things, she did things she never believed she could. But what did Marlin do to bring out that  much in her? He tolerated her presence, at first. Just like that. I couldn't agree more if someone comes up to me and tell me "Braah~  that's life," because it is. We could make a difference, just by acknowledging one's existence. Because the world now is in haste, no one stops for another. If we would just, step out of that stream, and look around, BAM. That's just by ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, imagine what you could do, with LOVE and CARE.

Try it. I dare you.

Care for a stranger, and don't ever ask for anything in return. Be sincere. Don't flirt, it creeps people out, well I creep people out..

" The best way to inspire, is to be sincere."

inspirations change minds;

the mind drives the life.

It ain't about how big you are to this world, in the end it's your deeds, and your heart, that matters.

And this ain't no wildlife documentary! *looks like it though*
