interesting post, haha. it’s all about nafs, our desires isn’t it?

sometimes the discounts in stores can really challenge our nafs. i mean, u don’t need half the things in there but u’d end up buying it anyway! haha

and yes it gets crazy. I saw footages of sales of wedding dresses and Astaghfirullah, it shows just how nasty we’d become if we give in to our materialistic wants.

May Allah help us control our nafs…

Also, I guess when you have to work in retail, it all kinda juss makes you hate it all more…
But whatever makes you happy works :)

But just to present a different viewpoint of black friday: its not just about actually buying stuff and being materialistic. Going out in the middle of the night to stores is quite fun, even if you don’t wan’t to buy anything, everyone is out at such an odd time that its funny. I mean think about, whats not fun about staying up all night with family/friends and then going out at like 4am to random stores just because.
