You’re so smart but sometimes you’re so dumb

Sometimes family members say to me, “You’re so smart but sometimes you’re so dumb!”  Well, part of that is because it doesn’t make sense for an educated person who looks like they have (or ‘had’) everything going for them just drop everything and embrace Islam - in their minds – to a religion that is ‘backwards’.  (Ok, the other part is because sometimes I just say dumb things :) ).

It all boils down to rethinking.

Mind sets, investigating and educating yourself.

Usually top experts are experts because they have a completely different mind set. 

• First, everyone thinks they are crazy.
• Then, some people attack them.
• Finally, people accept their ideas as the norm.

Just because ‘everyone’ does things one way, does that mean it’s the right way?

Smart people are smart because they step back and say, hmm, is this really the right way?  Let me educate myself and decide for myself.

What’s the difference between:

• a smart and dumb person?
• a poor and a rich person?
• a believer and a non-believer?

EDUCATION.

Then I got to thinking, if only people were educated on how sophisticated the Islamic system is, they wouldn’t think that I’m dumb in only this aspect of my life and smart in the rest.  If only they started to rethink like I did.  They would have it all. And that’s the whole point of Greeks Rethink.

Those who remember Allah (God) while standing, sitting and lying on their sides and think/ponder/reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth, then cry out, ‘Our Lord! You have not created this in vain.  Glory to You! Save us from the punishment of fire. (Quran 3: 191)
