I’m not too sure how many of you guys are aware of this, but there’s an atheist bus campaign going on over in the UK.
No kidding.
Yeah.
I don’t know what the deal exactly is with the people responsible for organising this, but if they’re looking for a place to get their message across, have they considered finding their own private spot to congregate instead of using public transport to propagate their idealogy and basically pissing people off? If I relied on public transport over there as much as I do over here, I’d be having an internal fit.
This is just in-your-face offensive for those of us who do believe in a higher Being, for those of us who believe in Him.
And ‘probably’ no God? What, are they still undecided? Maybe they should take a vote, just to, you know, verify their position on God’s existence and all, make sure no one’s confused.

Reading this ad is like being slapped across the face. I have my own faith, but do I go out and put up posters saying you’re going to Hell if you don’t have one, or if you don’t follow mine? I don’t impose. And to say that I don’t/can’t enjoy life because of God is so laughable it’s not funny. What do I have to worry about? I had none until this ad came along. It makes me annoyed. It’s one thing to dismiss the Divine when you’re tired of pondering, but to discourage people from thinking for themselves and to imply that we Believers have no life is another thing altogether. Show a little respect, people.
As if we don’t already have enough problems on our plate. And I’m not talking about wars/occupations/invasions alone either. There’s widespread poverty and famine and illiteracy and piracy while most Arab leaders have their heads buried so far down in money they can’t see how screwed we are. On top of that, we’ve got an atheist bus campaign, ya’ll! Unbelievable. What will they think up next? This is an affront on all faiths, not only on Islam.
Now do you see why I’m scared of this world so devoid of belief in God?
Oh if only Rasulullah SAW was alive today, how his heart would break.
I truly, truly miss him. If there was one person who could fix this mess we’re in, he’d be that person.

This reminds me of a Hadeeth from Muslim and Ahmad, where it was reported that Rasulullah SAW had said:
“Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.”
It came to this world strange to the pagan people then, and will leave the world strange to the (pagan?) people today. We might as well call this the Dark Ages.
And to think that down to his last breath, Rasulullah SAW had thought of nothing but us. His ummah, his ummah, his ummah. We were his main worry, his one concern.
Seeing things as they are today, I can see he had good reason.
May Allah help us get through these troubled times, and guide those who truly seek His Guidance. Ameen.
Enough said here.
