Whats wrong with Donald Trump?

-
November 8 for many was going to be one of the biggest events of the century. For many, it was going to be the day America was going to elect its first female president, however that was not the case. Rather America chose a man who had no prior experience of politics and whose campaign clearly showed that he had no chance of becoming America’s next president. His election victory not only shocked American’s but the entire world as everyone else who does not live in America are spectators and constantly look into the latest on the election.  

Many people around the world began to speculate what a Trump presidency would look like and would Trump fulfill many of the policies he said he would do when he enters the white house. Others began to voice their concerns and worries of Trump as president and Trump continue to keep the same attitude candidate Trump. All media types burst with comments, fears and thoughts of people who had something to say of Trump’s election policy, however many people seem to a couple of things that are not true about Trump’s presidential victory.

Many people believe Trump has gained ultimate power:

With Trump winning the election, many people believe that Trump can automatically legislate what he wants and has complete power to do so, however, this is not the case. America has a constitution and Donald Trump is elected to respect that constitution, a simple scenario where Trump has already shown he respects the constitution is his victory speech. In it he stated that he will respect people, no matter what religion or racial background, this is a complete change from presidential nominee Trump who made inappropriate comments during his campaign. This shows that Trump knows he has to respect the constitutional rights present in America as any president has to, even though his campaign showed attitudes that a typical presidential would not have, his victory is an example of change.
Second, if Donald Trump wants to legislate the policies he stated during his campaign, it would have to pass the congress which made of the Senate and house of representative. A majority would have to form for Trump to get those legislations through, if he does not then it is not legislated. This is for any country, the parliament must agree on the president or prime minister’s proposed legislation, so Trump is under the same law. He depends on getting a majority to get his legislations through and can’t just legislate what he thinks he wants.

Politics and politicians are the same thing:

Politics and politicians are the same thing and nothing ever changes. There are constitutions that are in place that every politician has to follow, the figure in power changes but set foundations never do. This means Trump will be no different than Hillary Clinton if she came into power, all have set rules and constitutions to follow which pretty much make them the same. Trump is elected into an already established system and must follow it as that is what he will swear to abide by.  If this is the case than everything is an already set system where politicians are elected to follow, then Trump will be the same as those before him and those after him are going to be the same.  

Yes, many will say that Trump is a racist by rejecting immigration, who is Islamophobic and so 
on but these things have existed before Trump’ presidential campaign and they are going to after he leaves office. These are things that have existed decades and centuries ago and will continue to exist until a proper solution is offered. These issues have existed during the rule of presidents before Trump and will continue through the presidencies of future presidents and even if Hillary Clinton came into power, it’s not like these problems will miraculously disappear and everything will be hunky dory. We can’t ignore this fact and many people who were from the backgrounds 

Trump said this about ended up voting for him.

I guess many people believe that politics and politicians are the same thing. Every politician will rule in a similar manner, have similar policies and have to follow the same constitution. So there will be a clear distinction between presidential nominee Trump and President Trump due to these factors. So if Trump will have to mend his ways to continue to be president, that means we don’t have to speculate each time a new politician is elected but work towards establishing what we want to see in our lives and the change we want to see.

Words are sharper than a knife

-
Words are apart of our lives and we use them every second of our lives. Words can be a sense of pride, for instance, we laugh and cheer when a baby says their first word or speaks in a complete sentence for the first time. words are beautiful, but they can also have a dark side. Words can hurt, they can scar and change a person's life forever. That is why it is important for our tongues to have a leash as it can cause so much damage. As individuals we live on emotion, we require love, care and respect to fully function and the words we choose to say to someone can effect an individual. That is why backbiting, slandering and all forms of negative deeds that can be done through words are not allowed. The tongue puts an individual in the most trouble as you are most likely to offend someone with your words than your fists or weapons. Most of the time we believe we are making a harmless comment about a friend, family member or an individual but it is harmful as it is easier to repair...

starting a new year

-
2017 has begun and it was welcomed the same way 2016 was welcomed and 2015 and all the years before that. Laughter, fireworks and big parties are thrown to mark the end of the previous year and welcome the new one but after that live goes back to normal again. Reaching a new year is a blessing because it gives us the chance to contemplate on the previous year and make a change to the new year that has started. Many people do not have this chance because they did not reach the new year and since we did not know we will reach the next year we should use this opportunity wisely. Every day we get to see the sun rise to a new day and breathe the air of that day is a chance to make a difference in our lives. It is a chance to be thankful for the blessings we have never been thankful for before that we have been given before they are lost. The prophet (s.a.w) told us to remember Allah during are times of prosperity so he may remember us during our periods of adversity. It is a chance...

Be Thankful

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...
