Do you realize it?

• How big the value of $50 is, to be donated to the masjid’s donation box, seems to be too small when we’re spending it in a shopping mall…  
• 30 minutes seems to be too long to spend for zikrullah, but rather too short for a show on television to end...  
• 2 hours seems to be too long to be at the masjid, but it feels as if it’s too short of a time for a movie at the cinema...  
• How difficult it is to say and wish for what we want in a du’a while in solat, but it’s so easy to look for things to gossip/ talk about with friends …  
• How exciting it is to hear the cheers and screams that lasts the entire football/ soccer match, compared to how boring and long it feels with the imam heading the tarawih in Ramadhan …  
• How difficult it is to recite even 1 para/ juz of the Al-Quran, compared to reading entertainment mags or a 100-page best-selling novel…  
• People rather fight for front-row seats to watch football match or concerts, but often fought for the last row saf for Jumaah solat so they could leave soon…
