After they were famous...
So a couple of guys came to our mosque on a 3-day Jamaat trip.
Looking at them, you'd say they were just two ordinary, unassuming guys with beards, going about their business quietly...enjoining good and forbidding from evil etc etc. (Dont hate on TJs)
It just so happens, that their names are "Junaid Jamshed" and "Saeed Anwar".
My sources tell me that the latter is supposedly a world famous Pakistani cricketer and the former is a poor mans Cat Stevens (crappy singer turned crappy nasheed artist)
So?
Exactly...
...so?
Then why the fuck was our mosque packed to the rafters with pakis?!
The last time I saw this many pakis was the time when there was a universal agreement on Eid.
People were happy.
Everything was shut.
Everyone had the same days off work.
Everyone went horn papping and flag waving at the same time.
Truly was a glorious day.
Think it was 1999.
So where did all these pakis come from?!
hmm...
Think that may have come out a likl bit racist.
Lemme rephrase that.
Then why the fuck was our mosque packed to the rafters with muslims?!
Where did all these muslims come from?!
Thats better.
But why though?
Shouldnt they have been there to begin with?
Isnt Salaah fardh on everyone?
Why does it take an average cricketer and an even less average singer to bring the hoardes out of the woodwork and into the mosque?
What is so special about these two guys?
Surely theyre just normal guys like you and me?
So they were famous...who cares?
What is wrong with these starstruck people?
They should be there regardless?
Not a good sign.
Maybe next week we'll have Muhammad Ali in.
Inshaallah.
cheers.

Junaid Jamshed, was at one point a super patriot, a national icon. A song his band made, was ingrained into every pakistani, and was almost like a religeous verse on every ones tongue. This wasn't a year thing, the song came out in 88ish and every 1 - 100 year knows it. That is not important. He turned a butthole a few years back. Growing a beard, and buring his cd/cassettes. Telling people not growing a beard = not being a good muslim. yea, like growing a beard helps yo measure teh amount of goodness of a muslim. the orthodox jews have huge beards too. they must be superior muslims then most.
saeed anwars daughters died in a tragedy when they were like 2. Cancer I suspect. He turned religious then. I suppose I can understand that. He was a supreme athelete, making millions of dollars all over teh world. He gave it up.
if famous people can induce more mosque-goers, maybe inspire in them a lasting feeling of religiousness (no matter how small the chance of that happening), isn't that a good thing? i think thats the only way to go with starstruck people, i.e. the majority of humanity.
