A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out 'Ayah! Ayah!'.

As a result of that, his neighbour got very upset and sternly ticked him off, "Can you please tell your children not to call you 'Ayah' anymore?"

The man asked, "Why?" The neighbor retorted, "Because my children call me 'Ayah' too, and they might get confused and mistaken you to be their father."

Burial rites, religious ceremonies, name callings are meant for humans. Our Creator (All Praise to Him) couldn't care less if you mispelt his name or couldn't remember his name after a beer or two. Even if you were to keep repeating His name and walk out of a 32 storey building, you would still meet your fate, ala Teoh Beng Hock style.

So in the end, who has the last laugh, the Creator. He must be thinking, I gave all these two-legged creatures a brain and a heart and all they could use it for was to compete on who has the right to call my name … hello, anybody home!
