On becoming a Muslim

If one is considering becoming a Muslim one especially need to be cognizant of the advantages one is going to derive from the conversion. 

Isn't that a very important and crucial consideration in such a dramatic life-change?

So here compiled from hands on knowledge of what one stands to gain vs what one stands to lose in opting to embrace Islam :

PROS:

* One definitely becomes acknowledged HEAD of one's house-hold! 

This is an important plus as many Western families are ambiguous on who wears the pants in the family. Not just fashion preferences but due to a great confusion of the entire understanding of the institution of marriage. Same gender matrimonial nuptials, temporary liaisons like Friends with benefits, or Living together but not really sharing anything kinda arrangement prevalent in the auto industries - test driving a model before commitment & common in the decadent progressive West.

Now imagine in Elton John's house-hold, who would be giving orders to the Cook  or the maid, or to any house help, for instance? No one is the head as far as tradition  is concerned tho surely there is a  top and a bottom partner. but that is only in the Master, Mistress, Person, bedroom urggh!

See the confusion? 

    In Islam there is NO SUCH CONFUSION. 

The man (as in male i.e. the one who has testicles above the "tool" between the legs, who has a beard, & walks in front) Doesn't that make for much ease in logistics and everything else in family dealings? But the same head of the house not necessarily is the same as the main bread winner. That is another story altogether.

* As Head of the house-hold One commands and the rest will jump to it.

For instance in Western societies the "man" may "suggest" to go to the Strip joint for dinner and also after dinner entertainment BUT the rest of the house-hold is and surely would OBJECT!

Thus suggestions and actions are as far as the East is from the West. 

  In the Muslim house-hold if the MAN says let's all go to my mother's house for the week-end and my spouse does the week end housework there, NOBODY would say anything else except YES Lord!

* In the Muslim house-hold if The Man decides to get a second (3rd or 4th) wife. NO ONE says ANYTHING else except YES Lord!

Try that same tactic in the West. Try to sneak a quickie with another woman even!

Now from the above most would appreciate the pluses of a Muslim arrangement no?

Here now is a short list of CONS:

     * If because of one's curse good fortunes and blessings by Allah SAW one gets to hook up with 4 wives (MPVs Max Permissible Violations)

Imagine the horrors joys of such an arrangement!

Let's just say in the initial honeymoon months (note "months" instead of years, this is because : how long does anyone imagine one could carry-on with 4 demanding females ?)

Ok lets say from each nubile baby producer one is punished blessed with 4 tiny tots. That would multiply (woooa what a multiply that would be) to 24 tiny tots all from the seeds of one's loins (woooa what a loin :)

AND each tiny tot having ONE birthday a year; would work out to 24 birthday celebrations a year! 

And what about other occasions of significance like the Sunat ceremonies if male tots and the dowries when female tots come of marriageable age?

Just attempting to quantify the expenditure would make an accountant as BALD as the American iconic eagle!

And that counting only the crucial significant family events. 

What about the weekly transporting of 24 kids & 4 wives, to the Masjid on Friday for prayers? Week after week after week after week? Just thinking of that makes one WEAK - no??

Baby food, diapers, pediatricians' bills, pre-school fees, baby-sitters' allowances, the mothers in Laws X4, their entourage families X4, the food bills, the electricity, (and in the desert) - the water usage?

And housing all these off-shoots of one's seeds? - the kind of housing needs? The numbers of toilets and bathrooms  in the morning rush ?

The eating utensils even though Muslims usually eat with bare hands! The bedsheets, the mattresses, the laundry needs, the heating needs!!

Can one appreciate now why the bedouins live in the desert ? The word desert wasn't only used to describe a sandy barren area… It is also synonymous with running away from one's responsibilities.

And Bedouins is a combi of "Bed Do U Ins"  

Now need anyone wish to hear any other CONS??

Guess not!
