Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:

It鈥檚 difficult to escape the fact it鈥檚 Valentine鈥檚 this week, and for many singletons - as well as the odd panicked husband scrambling for a gift - it鈥檚 a time of apprehension and dread.

I鈥檝e never been into the whole thing, but then again I鈥檝e never had a Valentine. But I have been on a quest for love via dating apps, both Muslim and mainstream, and I can tell you, it鈥檚 been a dragon鈥檚 den of dating iniquity.

This new online world has also produced its own language. I have learned words like 鈥榖readcrumbing鈥� - when you send playful but non committal messages to keep them dangling.聽 And you may have heard the term, cat-fishing.. well, there鈥檚 also 鈥榢itten-fishing鈥�, when you use little lies in your profile - like a photo that鈥檚 fifteen years out of date. And then there鈥檚 鈥榮low-fade鈥�: when a person gradually reduces chat and slowly disappears.

It鈥檚 mind boggling to see how new words keep cropping up to describe new human behaviours. There used to be just five hundred core words in the Old English language, now there鈥檚 a million in use. But has it really transformed our ways of communication? I reckon the issue isn鈥檛 in the volume of words, but in the power we give them.聽

Islam tells me that the only power great enough to change my destiny, lies in the words I say in prayer. Three thousand years ago when Prophet Moses鈥檚 life was in danger, and he was on the run, with no home and no-one to turn to, he uttered a small but powerful prayer, 鈥淢y Lord, I am in need of whatever good you send down to me鈥�. He then was helped by a clever woman, who got him a job, gave him a home, and became his wife. All this after a little prayer is not bad going!

I believe the words that fall from your lips can bring goodness and transformation. The Quran says, 鈥渁 good word is like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky.鈥� I will raise my words and reach for the sky and who knows, one good word might just get me a Valentine at last.
