The ABCs of Life

It’s a big day today for bloggers as the challenge to blog about a great cause - AGAINST ABUSE - has just begun! If you’re about to write a new entry today, don’t forget to participate and blog against any type of abuse you’d like to talk about.

A.B.U.S.E is a word with a totally negative meaning. There’s nothing good or positive about abusing, being abusive and it’s clearly impossible to feel OK about being abused! Abusing political power for self-interests, abusing children or animals or even things (vandalism) are all inhuman. Nobody in this world would like to be treated cruelly, not even by simple abusive words or gestures, let alone being physically hurt, mentally tortured or wrongly put behind bars without trial. Abuse, in whatever way are against human nature that needs love. And a Muslim, a true Muslim, will always strive to protect others and himself from being abused nor abusive. Abusing is evil, as mentioned in a Hadith: Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (an evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief).

Do your bit to stop all kinds of abuse. Everyone of us is a member of a neighbourhood, a town and a country. Play our little roles and put pressure to the criminals and the big people. Be kind to each other. Treat others the way you would like to be treated best. Be more aware of your surroundings, more concern about the people you live with, always report any crime (or suspicious acts) you witness, teach your children to keep away from strangers. Be aware of your rights and the law governing you, vote for the right people and the list goes on and on. Preventing abuse is best handled through law enforcement and education but everybody has a share in putting a stop to this immorality. Some people are free to abuse power and people because we let them do so. Because we care less or maybe because we find little interest in what’s going on with the world around us. Don’t let our ignorance help more and more abusers to walk free abusing anything they wish. Wake up to reality, be in the know and unite! And Bloggers, just write about this please!
