Now we're stressed out (?)

Daily News But Today It's About Stress

Hey guys!

     For the past few days, I've been doing A BUNCH of computer stuff. First of all, we have a essay contest throughout all of the Imagine schools in the whole country! So far, I won for my classroom, and the school contest is coming up tomorrow!
I can't wait! Plus I'm SUPER nervous. Then on the other hand,  I have to create two essays, and one speech. One of the essays is for Tahir Academy, and the other one and the speech is for Ijtema. I'll paste my essay from TAD and for ijtema below.



Who are we?

“Whilst it is a cause of great regret, I have no hesitation in admitting that much of the disorder that we see in the world today is occurring due to the acts of certain so-called Muslims .”-Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad



Many people ponder, lost in thoughts of what Islam really is. Are they the extremists creating disorder in the world today? This is the question that is confusing many of us. Are Muslims are the cause of chaos in the world? This statement can clearly be debated. Yes, there are many people who call themselves “Muslims” and still promote violence. But those attributes are not the true meaning of Islam. They are not considered true Muslims. We believe in peace, diversity, and we are against all stereotypes. Above all, we spread a message through Jihad (This does not mean the dictionary definition of Jihad just to be clear). There are only three ways of communicating with Jihad- through the pen, to struggle from within, and striving for Islam.


Our religious leader of the Ahmadiyya, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad held a national peace symposium at Baitul Futuh Mosque in London. During his address, his holiness categorically condemned the recent activities of ISIS and how they made true Islam look inferior. He called ISIS “entirely un-Islamic” and said that they were “viciously spreading a network of terror” in the world.


Do not presume that we are sister allies with ISIS even though they stand for “Islamic state in Syria”. Don’t believe those who aren’t true Muslims and counter our true attributes.


There is a clear difference between true Islam and extremist groups. Let’s examine these ten elemental differences of ISIS and true Islam.
  1. Muslims believe in the empowerment of women
-ISIS has no interest in gender stereotyping
  1. Muslims believes in the non-violent Jihad
-ISIS can’t even define Jihad
  1. Muslims reject terrorism
-ISIS advises terrorism  
  1. Muslims respect our nation’s laws
-ISIS barges through the rules
  1. Muslims respect all people- no matter what race, color, or age
-ISIS criticizes many different beliefs and religions
See all our differences? That proves that we do not relate with each other.


We are told to try to show perfect personalities because only 2% of America is Muslims. For example, if a non-Ahmadi knows an Ahmadi who is bad in overall behavior, the Ahmadi will be representing all of Islam in the non-Ahmadi’s mind, which can clearly be the start of a web of distastefulness. We all try to avoid this from happening because it could change someone’s idea of what a true Muslim really is. This is another reasoning of Islamophobia.  


Can you imagine the pain for Holocaust victims and slaves? That could be the pain for us in the future if the rates of Islamophobia rise- this level of Islamophobia is the same level of discrimination that black people too once faced. Gradually, the levels of Islamophobia could soon increase to the level of slavery, so we want to have our message heard and spread throughout the world.


But it starts with one little spark.






I'll show you my other speech tomorrow. BYYEEE!!!!!!








Hey this aiden along time later, but now i know that i won the school competition, and got honor roll, and did pretty good in the national Ijtema.


Slow AND BORING news

The (boring) Daily News(for today it's boring)

Hi guys. I know i'm not so joyful and fun, but drop the enthusiasm people! Today was (and still is) a boring day. Today Pallavi came(with Aditi) to "play". All we did was play some really boring computer games (i know i'm acting like my mom, but don't blame- it's called getting bad genes from from your parents).
(My mom and dad share jeans-lol)
I also finished reading a really good book- Holes! And no, I am not going to explain the whole summary of the book(like my parents). 




BYE!!!!
