Like you, many replies I got showed you all did not read my post carefully. Emy007 I did not say "there is no lie in saying am good and thanking ALLAH after that, and why u took it as a lie?" When did I say it is a lie to say good(when you are in fact good) and thank God for that. I never did.
Let me REPEAT myself. My question is: Isn't it a lie to say, "Yeah I'm allright, I'm good (when in fact you know you are not) and then follow this lie by saying Alhamdoulillah, I am good, I'm well?
I know I need to thank God even when bad things happens to me. This is between one and God. My question is related between two individuals. Why not just say( lying) "I am good or well" and stop at that. Why do you have to follow your lie by adding "Alhamdoulillah" when you know very well what you are saying is not the truth? Do you see where I am coming from? I hope someone, like FathimaH did, see my point.
Let me illustrate this by a scenario.
You have two friends or work colleagues, Mr. A & Mr.B. Mr B has just got his house repossessed or broken into or lost his child. He is perturbed and very sad or is so stresed he does not know how to solve his problem. He is feeling suicidal( at the extreme). Mr. A has just passed his exams, his wife delivered a beautiful and healthy baby and his bank account is fully loaded, he travels a lot on holidays.
You meet both. You asked them: How are you guys?
Mr. A : I am very well, Alhamdouillah!
Mr. B: I am good, Alhamdoulillah.
Do you now see the difference? Would it not be better for Mr. B to just say: I am good. Or perhaps he could have said:"My dear, things could be better however,... Alhamdoulillah!" That would be a truer and commendable answer!
Another misuse of words having relationship to God is Inshallah. I think this word has been very much abused by lazy work colleagues, liars. Words taken so lightly in daily conversation without careful consideration to its true meaning.
