Who inspires you nowadays?
You don't really get inspired by a lot of people these days...some of them aren't even worth inspiration. But in my school there's a lot of *religious* talk nowadays; hijab covers 90% of the main talk; the other issues cover the remaining 10%. There's one teacher who I really admire and like -- and get inspired by...
She's quite young, and anyone would expect her to throw her weight about and generally be like other young teachers -- but she (Masha Allah) looks like she not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. At the beginning of the year, everyone used to laugh behind her back and giggle a lot in her classes, because she talked so earnestly and make such heartfelt gestures that it was enough to make a *Binkie* go off. The thing is: she talked so solemnly the other day about Yawm Al Qiyamah that I made up my mind to start doing scores of good things quickly...
She said that whenever you hear/see an actress/singer you should think she is *such a miskeenah* ...because although she's having all the fun she wants in this life, she won't have a single hasanah on Yawm al Qiyamah...she won't be having fun then, right?
By the way, there're a lot of weird people nowadays who go gasping and literally *crying with joy* when they see a glamorous actress strutting about in front of them...I suppose they are all masakeen too, fussing about a worthless person who thinks she's reached the pinnacle of her would-be *dreams*...These people ARE NOT inspirations, allow me to add:)
...some people even want to take after their heroines, wanting to become singers and actresses when they grow up; they're quite mad about it. When you think about it, it's not quite an honourable job, you know -- you're *being* someone you're not, you're enjoying yourself by doing haraam things, like tabarruj, etc.
She ended it by the Prophet Salallahu 'alayhi wa Sallam's famous quote: "ألا هل بلغت؟ اللهم اشهد "
