Euro fever

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Everybody seems zombified since the beginning of Euro 2012. I, too, can't help it.

To avid followers, they surely know that I have been a Germany supporter through thick and thin. My opinion remains the same, that Micheal Ballack is one of the best midfielders in the world. Though his playing career is almost over, his class acts last forever.

The charisma that he possesses is an inspiration for me. Typical German, he rose to stardom in 2004. He almost single handedly led Bayer Leverkusen to 3 trophies, only to falter right at the finishing line. He then masterminded Germany's progress in the next World Cup, Euro, World Cup and Euro again.

We are still at early stages. Tonight France will play England. The underperfoming England boast some gifted players, but have failed to lift any trophy since, 1966? My bad, it's too long that anybody can remember.

To the preachers, now is the best time for you to preach. Be smart. Do not tell them 'why can you wake at 2 am to watch football, but you are so weak to perform a 2 rakaat solat?'. Instead tell them, right after the game, why not spend 5-10 minutes for a short prayer, i.e. Tahajjud. Sounds nicer and softer, doesn't it?

It is natural. The more restrictions you place on them, the more rebellious they will become. If they enjoy watching football, so be it. We were thought of the 'wasatiah' concept, so practise it.



I am wataching to this video as I am typing. Very beneficial, in my opinion.

till next time,
