How Well Do You Know Yourself??

No soul has authority over another. Guidance and straying is a matter between God and you.

In my own case, I realized (albeit a year or two back) that my eating pattern was quite different from what I believed it to be. For a long while I was under the impression that I would overeat when I was in a normal/happy mood..however, it turns out that I am prone to overeating when I am depressed/dejected.

Let's suppose a scale of 1 through 10, with 1 being "utterly broken" and 10 being "on a real high" -- I would then say that at 1 and 2 I would be starving myself, 3-5 I would be overeating, and 6-10 I would be eating "normally".

Why I believe this is important (at least to me) is that it made me realize that I am not in tune with my own self, which basically translates into having no idea even about my own personality, and makes me wonder how much of one's life (= acts/beliefs/choices) is based on an incorrect perception of the self.

....so how well do you suppose that you know yourself?



la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Al-‘Atheemu Al-Haleemu, la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbul ‘arshil-‘atheemi,
la ilaaha illaa Allaahu Rabbus-samaawaati wa Rabbul-ardhi wa Rabbul-‘arshil-kareemi
there is no god except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne;
there is no god except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.

If you are hungry ...eat. if you are thirsty...drink. if you are fat you are lazy...fact. One life, enjoy.

there is no god except Allah, the All-Mighty, the Forbearing; there is no god except Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne;
