Upside down

Long ago, people used to find it cumbersome to wear this small topee made of cloth during Salah. They used to make all types of excuses not to wear it. Yet, they follow fashions without asking questions. They follow the fashions of fujjaar, fussaaq and kuffaar without realising how ridiculous they look and appear. Just when it comes to following the Sunnah, they make all types of excuses. They invent all types of pretexts not to follow. This is an imbalance that makes people see things upside down. One finds important things futile and vice-versa. This is what happens when people move away from the teachings of Deen. Everything of Deen appears strange, useless and futile.
