Excuse me!!
Would you stop for a moment?!
Haven't you thought-one day- about yourself ?
Who has made it?
Have you seen a design which hasn't a designer ?!
Have you seen a wonderful,delicate work without a worker ?!
It's you and the whole universe!..
Who has made them all ?!!
You know who ?.. It's "ALLAH",prise be to him.
Just think for a moment.
How are you going to be after death ?!
Can you believe that this exact system of the universe and all of
these great creation will end in nothing...just after death!
Have you thought, for a second, How to save your soul from Allah's
punishment?!
Haven't you thought about what is the right religion?!
Here you will get the answer

The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous


The relative success of the A.A. program seems to be due to the fact that an
alcoholic who no longer drinks has an exceptional faculty for "reaching" and
helping an uncontrolled drinker.

In simplest form, the A.A. program operates when a recovered alcoholic
passes along the story of his or her own problem drinking, describes the
sobriety he or she has found in A.A., and invites the newcomer to join the
informal Fellowship.

The heart of the suggested program of personal recovery is contained in
Twelve Steps describing the experience of the earliest members of the
Society:

1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become
unmanageable.

2) Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to
sanity.

3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as
we understood Him.

4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5) Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature
of our wrongs.

6) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7) Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make
amends to them all.

9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so
would injure them or others.

10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact
with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.

12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried
to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all
our affairs.

Newcomers are not asked to accept or follow these Twelve Steps in their
entirety if they feel unwilling or unable to do so.

They will usually be asked to keep an open mind, to attend meetings at which
recovered alcoholics describe their personal experiences in achieving
sobriety, and to read A.A. literature describing and interpreting the A.A.
program.

A.A. members will usually emphasize to newcomers that only problem drinkers
themselves, individually, can determine whether or not they are in fact
alcoholics.

At the same time, it will be pointed out that all available medical
testimony indicates that alcoholism is a progressive illness, that it cannot
be cured in the ordinary sense of the term, but that it can be arrested
through total abstinence from alcohol in any form.
