A Strategy to Avoid Masturbation

Here is a strategy that I use to avoid doing masturbation. It needs no telling the urging is very great. Almost always those who masturbate use some form of pornography to induce feelings.

Active barriers are stuff that stop you from doing something. It creates an obstacle on your way.

How can active barriers be useful for avoiding masturbation?

The answer is simple: create active barriers in your way to masturbating. If you want to be more precise, create obstacles in your very thought process. If pornography is your instrument, blocking that can have a considerable obstacle.

Today I will delve into how you can create obstacles in your way to access pornography. Its different for each of us. I will tell you how I did it. I used to download porn videos from Internet and store it on my PC. Then at convenient time, I would copy the videos from PC to cell phone and watch it in toilet while masturbating. I wanted to create active barriers in my behavior. So I decided to delete all my porn collection when I felt bad after masturbating. That did it. Even if I later collected some more, I deleted all of them after masturbating. SHIFT+DELETE all porn was my motto. That drastically reduced my rate of masturbating.

You can start right now. Delete all the porn movies, games, videos, stories and media you have stored in your device. Delete all of them and then empty your recycle bin. Then download some great movies and watch them. There are awfully great number of movies and serials out there to watch other than jerking yourself out.

The Best Thing to do this Winter

There are around 6 billion people in this world. We can safely assume around 50% of them lives in Northern Hemisphere. That is winter for around 3 billion people. Do you think all of them have enough clothes to survive the winter. You and I might be cosy in our bedroom reading and typing but there could be someone out there right next to us who is freezing in this damn cold. So let’s do a little good. Let’s go out there and find someone without warm clothes and give him/her our spare jacket or sweater or anything that might mean comfort to him/her. Do you know who faces the worst in winter. Always the same. The young and the old. Let’s seek out an old who needs clothing and provide him/her with that. Trust me, I’ve done so and its the damn best feeling in the world.

PS:- If you haven’t watched Green Mile yet, watch it. Its a good movie which I just finished.

Expression through Quran

These days almost everyone uses facebook. Statuses using Quran’s verses is an every day thing. Spreading Islam this way is quite encouraging but can you actually do another thing at the same time? I am referring to expressing yourself. You can write Quran verses that corresponds to your state of mind. This is possible because Al-Qur’an touches every corner of life. I am suggesting this because this could be another way of learning the holy book. By nature we tend to avoid the Quran but this could be a new way of expression and all new way of doing anything is attractive and good for the brain too.
What’s your thoughts on this?

Financial Crisis and Islamic Finance

It doesn’t matter how optimistic your government might be, the financial crisis is not over. The amount of debt USA and Europe is submerged in is enough to tell the tale. The system hasn’t gone through the reform it should have gone through and there is not any signs that the same is likely in near future.

To really deal with the crisis, you need to get your hands down to the root of the problems. And that is greed of the financial players – the bankers, the traders and the shareholders. Money is like a drug. It gives all the sensations a drug can give you. Starting with little doses, you feel good. Eventually you start to want more. With more comes even more desires. At one point your greed of money takes over you and you give up everything for money. Did you watch the movie Wall Street 2 in which Gekko uses his son-in-law to get the money he gave to his daughter and then runs away with the money. Both Wall Street movies are a good choice if you want to understand what they are playing at.

How to curb the greed? With better financial regulation. But financial regulation is hard to squeeze out of people who have been running after money since I was born. I mean what we see is more bailing out of banks and financial institutions, with tax payer’s money that is. What I see is pushing more money into the financial market without strengthening the real economy, actual production.

That is where Islamic Finance beats the market. I bet you wouldn’t be interested in betting with my money if you were bearing some of the risks of betting. Gambling with other people’s money seems next to cool these days. “Hey, know what I just did? Just used some whack-shack’s money to buy some high-paying CDOs. Don’t care if they default. Its the whack-shack who is going bust. 8)”. Not with Islamic Finance, where financier and entrepreneur share risk as well as profit. Makes sense.

I am not an expert on Islamic Finance, I just happen to like finance and Islam. I just know that Islamic Finance is flourishing in these days of recession. Talking of recession, I will write a piece on it. Ok, I’ll write several pieces on it, since its hard to ignore the high use that word is going through, “recession”.

This video gives some insights on the root of the financial crisis. I agree that it is not the fault of the finance model but the greed of the user which has brought destruction. Also search “financial crisis explained” on youtube to find some good stuff meant for non-technical viewers.

The Truth about Islam.

ISLAM-Explained

What is Islam

Islam is based on the worship of One God (Allah).  Muslims believe that everything in the world was created by God and that as the creation of God, it is our duty to worship our Creator.  Allah is the same God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (may peace be upon them all).  With more than 1.2 BILLION followers world-wide, Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion.

Why Islam

There is a God. He is fair and just, and He wants us to achieve the reward of paradise. However, God has placed us in this worldly life as a test, to weed out the worthy from the unworthy. And we will be lost if left to our own devices. Why? Because we don’t know what He wants from us. We can’t navigate the twists and turns of this life without His guidance, and hence, He has given us guidance in the form of revelation.

The Five Pillars of Islam

1. Testimony of faith as one has to sincerely believe in the Oneness of God and the Prophethood of Muhammad (Sm).
2. Prayer as Muslims pray to Allah five times a day.
3. Charity to those less fortunate.
4. Fasting the month of Ramadan where Muslims abstain from food, water, and sexual intercourse from dawn until dusk.
5. Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca to commemorate Prophet Abraham.  Hajj is only required to be done once in a lifetime if one has the means and ability to go.

Some Questions

Q.           Aren’t Muslims violent, terrorists and/or extremists?

A.            This is due to the constant biased review media show about Islam. Politics in so called “Muslim countries” may or may not have any Islamic basis. One should remember to go to the source of Islam and separate what the true religion of Islam says from what is portrayed in the media. Islam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion doesn’t dominate everyday life in the West, whereas Islam is considered a ‘way of life’ for Muslims and they make no division between secular and sacred in their lives. Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defense, in defense of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. Nowhere does islam enjoin the killing of innocents. The Quran says: “Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors.” (Quran 2:190) War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law.

Q.           Doesn’t Islam oppress women?

A.            Although some Muslim countries may have laws that oppress women, this should not be seen as coming from Islam. Islam gives men and women different roles and equity between the two is laid down in the Quran and the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In Islam both men and women are expected to dress in a way that is modest and dignified. The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: “The most perfect in faith amongst believers is he who is best in manner and kindest to his wife.” Violence of any kind towards women and forcing them against their will for anything is not allowed. According to Islam, a Muslim girl cannot be forced to marry against her will.

Q.           Aren’t most Muslims just Arabs?

A.            No, actually Arabs only comprise about 20% of the Muslim population.  The largest Muslim country in the world is actually Indonesia.  There are more Muslims in China than Egypt!  The largest race of Muslims in the United States is that of African-Americans.

Q.           Don’t Muslims worship a different God?

A.            Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. It is exactly the same word which the Jews, in Hebrew, use for God (eloh), the word which Jesus Christ used in Aramaic when he prayed to God. God has an identical name in Judaism,Christianity, and Islam; Allah is the same God worshiped by Muslims,Christians and Jews.

Jesus in Islam

Jesus is greatly loved and respected in Islam.  The belief in Jesus in Islam is that he was a Prophet of God, not the son of God.  Jesus’ birth was a miracle as his mother was the Virgin Mary.  Mary was a righteous servant of God and is considered one of the best women in history.  Jesus preached the truth, the belief in One God as his message was distorted after his birth.  In fact, Jesus mentions the coming of Muhammad by name in the Gospel of Barnabas.  In Islam, the concept of one person dying for another person’s sins in unacceptable as Muslims don’t believe in ‘original sin’ as the Holy Quran states “No bearer of burden can bear the burden of another” (53:38).
