complaint?

Assalamua'laikum brothers and sisters

I've just watched a nice video in youtube. and I realized, this is actually whats happening in most of the programs that I've joined so far. The saddest thing is when the program that I joined that brings Allah, i saw a lot of this happening.

Okay, so its about complaining. Ever seen someone who keeps finding faults in other people's effort and work while they themselves rest on their nice comfy chairs?

Then, I joined another program. This time, it was a family day. And I wasn't the committee but I came just to help out wherever I could. When I come to the place where they were supposed to do like an entrance for a fair, no one was doing anything. And no one was giving the order or direction. Everyone just sat there chatting. I don't blame them, as they don't know what to do and they have been waiting there for quite some time. So i asked. What was the idea that they want to do. They say they donno. Even the person in charge donno how to do it and they were waiting for some ideas from someone else. So a friend of mine came up and gave her idea. Since no one else have a better idea, and we have the things needed, and it was getting late, we go with the idea given. They help out and we finished it. I thought everything was okay until my friend giving the idea come with a sad face. She said, why don't we stop doing it and take it down. I was quite shocked. I mean, we did it almost like an hour and she wants us to stop and take it down. Its ridiculous. Then I asked and she said that her friend has been complaining about it. I search for the person and I can see the person with some more people there siting nicely. You know, chatting. And I was shocked as she didn't mentioned anything to us. An now she's complaining bout it behind our back. And she doesn't even say anything when we were asking her for suggestion before w e start making it.God, I was mad at that time.

There's been a lot of other occurrences like this.

Too many people complaining. You did it badly. You didn't manage you event properly. Everything is messed up. Its not organized.

HELLO!!!
I'm working alone here. Can't you see. I sleep late doing things that were supposed to be done earlier by someone else and there you are, COMPLAINING 24/7.

Here's a suggestion, Instead of complaining about other people's work, why don't you help out. Organizing program is not a one man show. Even if you are not a committee, if you see something and you think that you can make it better, help out. It doesn't hurt to lend a hand or give out ideas. The muslim committee is supposed to be the best. They are supposed to be an example for others. The success of an event is portrays how good we work together. Not how many people complaining.


So please my brothers and sisters. If you care and you know your responsibility as a muslim, do it the best you can. Put your best effort and stop complaining please. Please don't talk bad about your friends effort if you didn't help out in the beginning. It will only hurt their feelings and nothing good will come out of it. You will only make them mad, or make them feel worthless or even make them give up.

Think of it like this, you have this beautiful tree that you love and you trim yourselves. You water it, you put all your effort in it, then someone came to your house, and said that the tree is the ugliest thing they have ever seen. Its has not been trimmed symmetrically, its too short or its too tall. The leaves are dry as if no one had water them for weeks while in fact you have just water them that morning.

Think about it. TOGETHER we are strong. And the Muslims are supposed to be the strongest ummah ever if we follow the teaching of our religion.
