The changeover from the previous year to the new year has been pretty busy for the Muslims all over the world. There was Eid-ul-azha on the last day of the yer 2006 and there was Saddam Hussein's execution. Both events being poles apart in their dimensions yet made to relate by some cunning cleverness of the few.
Saddam Hussein was a tyrant who committed atrocities and thus got what he deserved. But the point to note is that he never committed these atrocities in the name of Islam and thus his execution should never be looked in the religious light. He is done and dusted with now.
Eid-ul-azha is a joyous occasion that we Muslims celebrate in memory of the Prophets of God and their sacrifice to God. It has been celebrated extensively ll over the Muslim world and thus is done and dusted.
While the Muslim world was celebrating their festival the rest of the world was drunk to the joys of the new year. there were countdowns going on and there were resolutions being made for the new year. Although a very few were reviewing their achievements of the by gone year.
The year 2006 was not particularly entertaining for me. I suffered set back after a set back. But well it happens because it has to happen. I hope the new year is much better. I pray that 2007 is way better than what i have seen in 2006. I thank Allah for being very kind towards me and pray that He be much more kind this year.
It is another thing that i stepped into the new year watching a movie in an almost empty theater. the movie was about the beginnings of CIA and it was me and some other friends in the huge empty theater. But the good thing was that we could pass comments while watching the movie which we might not have been able to do otherwise. I am hoping that the story of my life takes a more enjoyable turn and things improve a lot this year.
