Taqwa Posted May 14, 2003 Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb, I wanted to ask ask some of you, if you ever entered a silent mode that lasted a few long months? Your mind goes blank and your day is filled with a few little comments. Also, everything around you and the people bore you to death. Jazakallah Kheiran In Advance.

Modesty Posted May 14, 2003 Asalaamu Alaykum, Taqwa life is a roller coaster ride. We have our high peak, and our lows. Ask yourself, do you enjoy this mode? Sure, I've felt bored around people, but that is natural, we can't be feeling excited all the time. What I enjoy doing when I feel bored, I get up and do something fun, or talk to more exciting people. My philosophy is if your bored, its not the environment that makes you bored its you. So get up and have some fun boy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mujahida Posted May 14, 2003 WaAlaykumaSalam-Wrahmatulahi wabarakatu Taqwa, Long time no see That actually used to happen alot to me when I was in High School, Esp my last year. I was mainly communicating with myself but that was due to my exams and Stress. I think that you need to speak to people who alittle more who have the same interest like you,. maybe play soccer, socialise with brothers at the masjid, Listen to some Quraan, Recite it urself it will give you a sense of well-being InshaAllah,I guess It's part of life to have ur lights shut off for a while. Speaking from a girls perspective, If I'd feel like that now, I'd change my room, change the position of my bed, change the curtains lol , or even leave the whole place for a few days and visit my cousins for some time. Thats if the place is causing it. if not Than u have to change ur Attitude InshaAllah. Thats what I'd do! Wa/Salam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taqwa Posted May 16, 2003 Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb, I will use Lateafa's quote to answer your replies. Its good to see you sister. "You've got to see what I've seen, Look where I've looked". I went to the Khaliij and had the chance of washing a dead body that was not related to me at all. It was the body of an old man in his late 80's who was a practicing muslim. Since that day, I've become extremely quiet. I answer people with a yes or a no without making any other comment. I've known the certainty of Death long ago, but never thought it would be at the finger tips of my hands. I know most scholars recommend silence but even replying to you guys is difficult. Having absolutely no interest for anything is pretty funny, don't you think. Jazakallah Kheiran in Advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisaam Posted May 16, 2003 Wa caleeykumu salaam wr wb, Taqwa I think i could relate to this "silent mode" thing that you talking about, i think am actually going through this right now. This "silent mode" thing is been happening to me for the past month or so, and its very strange that it happen to someone like me coz i am known as a very talkative, outgoing, in general qof oo bashaashlee ha whose always got something to say or talk about, whether it is about diin or life in general. And my friends seem to take this silent mode thing that i am going through as xumaan, coz they think inaa wax xumaan ah ineey iku sameeyeen, they always coming up to me and saying "abaayo what's wrong, why you all of the sudden quiet"?, "what did we do to you"? & staff. Also, everything around you and the people bore you to death That's exactly how i feel at the moment. Nothing that people say interests me lately, not even the slightest bit. Strange! :confused: I think what brought this silence thing upon me is the near death experience i had few short month ago. Ever since than, I’ve been in my own little world, don't communicate as much with people, and i just keep mostly to myself. And also my final year of school which is driving me insane and stressing the living hell out of me :mad: , has partly something to do with it all. Its just amazing how a near death experience or something got to do with death can have a huge impact/effect on person's life and cause's them to change because of that experience alone. Oh man am about to fall a sleep on the keyboard, so am just going to stop writing right now..... Salaamz All Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted May 16, 2003 Salaan... Taqwa, the laadar of the brothers, ii waran? Aboosto ii dheh hee, marax. Good. Silent mode, aha? I was in Xamar a couple weeks ago, and God. I think a great population down there were 'silent moders,' and a great confusion were going on there. The silent moders think others, who are majority, are crazy, and the majority, on the other hand, think the silent moders are the true, abnormal, eccentric ones. I tried to have a conservation both of them, and believe me, 'silent moders,' who are thought to be 'crazy' are really hokey, but the majority themselves are a bit crazy. Waa dad dhan BUUFIS ku dhacay, marka kii waalan iyo kii kale maba kala taqaanid. And finally, they might even think you as some kind of crazy. Marka waala isku wareerey. So, I think you can't be a 'silent moder,' unless you want people think of you some kind of an erratic wacko. Believe me. Anyway, you can't seriously be in a self-confined solitudeness. Humans need somekind of interaction. ___________________ Macsalaama!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kruella Posted May 16, 2003 Maybe You're just in a state of contemplation, or perhaps you’re just feeling low about the imminence of death and that sense of foreboding that comes with it. After all, what you have witness is not a small feat but rather a life-altering situation. The silent mode happens to all of us and we stir out of it after a while when we find something worthwhile. Hopefully, you’ll find the answer to your predicament soon because we aren’t meant to be stoic and rubber-like in a our daily existence. A Renewed zest for life is exactly what you need.

Taqwa Posted May 18, 2003 Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb, Macruuf Salan qimoo lee sxb. I've heard your taking tour's around the world but never thought Hamar would be your first stop. Jazakallah Kheiran for the advice Walaal, its always appreciated from you. Samira, Walaal your suppose to help Taqwa not vice versa. (joking) Walaal I can relate with you 100%, but the funny part is I enjoy the silence yet wished I talked more. People are happy I don't make rude comment's and I'm happy they don't bother me. The prophet (pbuh) once told his companions, that if they wanted to be closer to Allah they should remember and contemplate on DEATH. Of course Silence is gold so don't be over-stressed. About school, walaal the last year is the difficult year but just have faith in Allah and don't rush yourself. Kruella, Thank You Walaal for the advice.
