Sharpening the Saw
Imagine yourself as a carpenter. You just got back from the store with a brand new heavy duty saw. You get down to work and begin cutting and making furniture. About 15 tables later you realize that the saw isnt cutting very well. Whats happened...?
What is the solution? Sharpen the saw :-)
Sharpening the saw is a process of self renewal. Emotionally, physically mentally, and most of all spiritually.
I heard Khalid Yasin mention how Shaykh Bin Baaz would sharpen his saw constantly. Shaykh Bin Baaz was known as one of the top five Islamic scholars in the world. Not only that. Hes BLIND. -- How then can he keep up?
Every day he would have other scholars read to hom a few hours on different rulings, and books. Allah (swt) had taken his sight, but blessed his memory. He used that memory to the best of his ability.
If a blind man can do it, why can't you? -- What are you doing to sharpen the saw?

Here are some off my ideas:
*A kid comes from a REAL muslim country to america (not fake one like pakistan or Turkey)and finds the culture here madd haram at first but then he becomes a bad kid so he can become more americanized.
* A desi kid who smells like salan and stinky masalas, and therefore everybody avoids him. So he grows up as an outcast.
* thats it for now.
