time for a mini rant


assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabraktuh everyone, inshaAllah i pray everyone is in happiness, in the best of health and highest of imaan.

ok, so i'm in the office right now, and for like over half an hour or so the conversation has been in another language, i mean a few words here or there is ok generally but when your going on and on....subhanAllah i'm losing my patience. The worst part being is that i think i know what the conversations about, its about other collegues and sometimes even me! i mean some of it may be good but it makes one uncomfortable, i remember when i used to go madressah and we were taught that it was rude and wrong in islam for two people to whisper while a third is present. Isn't it just common courtesy that people should converse in a language that all people present understand? office gossip hate it! actually all gossip, may Allah save us from it ameen.

May Allah SWT forgive me, and all this ummah, keep us steadfast uopn imaan, make us a means of guidance for others, and give us succesful in this world and afterlife, ameen. (i was about to write dunya and akhira but that would be contradicting myself, what if some of my readers dont understand? ;))

until next time fiamanillah
take care wasalam
