Kissing is BAD, just shake the HAND!



عن حذيفة، أن النبي- صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال: ((إن المؤمن إذا لقي المؤمن فسلم عليه وأخذ بيده فصافحه تناثرت خطاياهما كما يتناثر ورق الشجر))ه
.
.

In 3aza, when I go to pay my respects, the most thing I dread is having to kiss all the people in line. I go to offer my condolences to a friend and I end up kissing all her family. LAISH?!

I remember when we had a 3aza of our own, I used to HATE it. People I know and don't know pull me close and shower me with kisses. And I grew tired of it, and somewhat disgusted to be honest.

My most annoying experiences is when they kiss you and blow on you, I mean they literally exhale while kissing and their breath just blows at the side of your face *shivers*

And when they kiss you and their cheeks are so moist with foundation it actually sticks to your face *yuck*

Oh, and some people even kiss you twice, bl dakhla o bl 6al3a :-(

I try to extend my arm to offer a handshake, but no they pull you o lazem they kiss you. AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TARA WALLAH MO LAZEM YOU KISS.

Mind you, I don't do that. I just offer my hand and sincere words of "3atham Allah ajerkom", or "3asa mathwah eljanna", o that's it.

So pls ppl,
A hand shake is enough,
so pls, just kiss and hug the person you came for, and as for the rest of the family a handshake is enough wallah.
No need to go on kissing the whole neighbourhood!


"La lil qubolaat, na3am lel mosafa7aat"
Aslun you get more ajer this way..
Who's with me?

lendmeurear said...

I am with you all the way!!! Why spread germs to one's face? Hands are enough! The thing is that people may regard you as rude if you don't kiss. I wish that everyone starts knowing that a9l alsalam is in the handshake as you mentioned. People, let's accumulate more ajr; down with the kisses!

You don't have to kiss.

I don't kiss people I don't know la'ena yakseron kha6re a7es khdod'hom teshallakhat. My good deed of the day is in sparing them my own khad at least. :)

With you qalban qaliban

And good morning to you Glitter el7ilwa

the only one I don't know in 3aza and i kissed was a lady that was holding wet tissues, so I couldn't bring myself to shake her germ-filled hands so I kissed her instead :-/

tawna khal9een min 3aza one of my close family members

lawe3aw chboodna il nass o ohom y7abebona

some ppl metbakhren met3a6reen o kiss once... enough

others would hug you needlessly o cry their hearts out, saliva 3la tears 3la sweat 3la tight grip on ur neck and you cant breathe o it is so so SO disgusting! yoba ENOUGH!

needless to say after ppl leave we run and scrub our faces with dettol

o marat a person u dont know or ur sitting on the side 3shan terta7een... ityeech wa7da ma it3arfenha wala it3arfech, o togaf 3la rasich ila '3asob gomay babawsich! yoba ro7menee! i3taqene le wajh il allah 7ram 7raam! o in ma gemtay o just extended ur hand they would pull you up o kiss u '3asob

welle masha2 allah tenfa3 it9er mosare3 o crushes ur ribs

o the worst part is?

the daughter of the metwafya is young o in severe shock. ayon il nass o ask "where is the daughter?" o laman we point her out they hug her o scream or cry or say something that will send her off the edge and have her cry o we had to rush o calm her down. Eee laish y3ni? LAISH!
