Two Horns

Then he followed another way until, when he reached between two mountains, he found before them a people who scarcely understood a word. They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn! Verily, Gog and Magog are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them."

He said,"That in which my Lord had established me is better. So help me with strength, I will erect between you and them a barrier."

- Kahf:92-95


Lessons of Leadership:
  • A leader is a service to society.
  • Rizq is from Allah
  • Rightousness is for all

Reflections:
  • How many powers of the world demand payment from the weak to be "protected", especially when that payment is nothign but to purge the land of its resources. How often do people in power do that which is of benefit to the people rather than themselves?
  • Duhl-Qarnayn is a good example of how people of power should be.

3x10 Epi-storm -- Day 09
  • Different fun and crazy stuff youth do together.
  • A lost Muslim kid who good Muslim people seek out and change him episode by episode. They can meet in some very strange way or something. And they can change one bad characteristic in each episode.
  • A kid comes from a REAL muslim enviorment from over seas to america, only to find the bad aspects of this culture to be very haram. Slowly the culture envelops him.

You forgot:

- Story about a desi youth who smells like salan and other stinky masalas so people avoid him. He grows up isolated and becomes insane in the end. He can be a super villian and can be doing all sorts off crazy plots. And these other people always stop him from doing it.
