Life is beautiful…

If you look around you…if you see the beautiful coloured flowers and plants…if you watch children playing…if you see birds flying…if you notice the sun shinning….if you listen to the birds singing in the early morning….if you watch the white pretty clouds over there…if you listen to the silence …you will feel how beautiful is our life…yes in all that you can see the face of Allah…

Allah says…

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِرًا نُّخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبًّا مُّتَرَاكِبًا وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِن طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَانٌ دَانِيَةٌ وَجَنَّاتٍ مِّنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِهًا وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍ ۗ انظُرُوا إِلَىٰ ثَمَرِهِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكُمْ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ (99) الانعام

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL

And it is He (Allah)who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees – of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

Fighters…

Once upon a time a six years old student asked his teacher a question…(Please Miss ..I want to know …why God created us….Has He felt bored and wanted to have some fun….???)…

The teacher laughed and rememberd the answer quickly…

Yes …it was written in Quraan…she told the boy…

(We are created to be fighters…

I do not mean a fighter in wars …no….

You will meet many challenges during ur life journey….if you are not a fighter…you will not be able to go on…)

She continued…(God created both Evil and Good….we are created to fight evil…you can fight it by your good behaviour and by your good deeds….Allah says…

وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ (البقره 251)
And did not Allah Check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But Allah is full of bounty to all the worlds.(Cow chapter…verse 251)

Peace be upon fighters all over the world…peaceful fighters…who fight for noble issues…for others ….and for the good of the universe….

Marriage

And (it is one) of His signs that He has created spouses for you from your own species that you may find comfort in them. And He has induced mutual love and tenderness between you. Behold! there are signs in this for a people who would reflect.
وَمِنْ آَيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآَيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (21)

Al RoomChapter

Verse 21

Mohammad….

And Mohammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful….

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىَ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئًا وَسَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ

Verse 144

Forgiveness

An Apology you never got….

Musings

To forgive someone is not easy especially when that person threw invective at you. You’re clueless as to why that person suddenly spilled over in a Froth of rage.The one person who insulted your whole being. One who jumped to conclusions and believe the worst in you.

Can you also forgive someone who’s not even repentant of her sins? One who believes is innocent of any wrongdoings. One who feels righteous.

Forgive them anyway. I know how hard it is because I have been there. When you truly forgive, you’re setting yourself free. Free from pain and heaviness from the heart. When you’re free from all of this, only you can be at peace and be happy. I already forgave them and it’s up to them if they still have a chip on their shoulder.

The only way I can act normal around them is to forgive them. I can…

Why Ramadan?????

Today is the third day of Ramadan…the month of fasting for moslems all over the world…

I asked myself several times…why?why?and why?

I will tell you the answer …but first we should know what is fasting?

It is simply the abstention from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset.Not only drinking and eating but also the abstention from doing all that displeases Allah.

Why Ramadan?

Simply to break(I can not) and delete it completely from your life and replace it with (I can).

For a whole month you find your self doing things you thought that they are difficult and impossible to do.

You wake up late an hour before dawn to have Sohoor meal and then you pray dawn prayer which was difficult for you to perform before Ramadan and now you perform dawn prayer daily and easily.

You find yourself in Ramadan spending money generously on poor people and that you have got enough money although you spent a lot to help others.

In Ramadan and after two days of fasting you discovered that fasting is so easy …so you can fast on Monday and Thursday after Ramadan ends…..(prophet Mohammad was doing that)…

You were smoking cigarretes during the day but now you can stop smoking easily .

In breif …after Ramadan you can and you can and you can….

Break (I can’t) and replace it with (I can)…

This is the essence of Ramadan…

Thanks for reading….

Your own clock..

Every thing in our life will happen in the right time…

So we do not have to compare our fate with other people’s fate…

For example…she is 35 and she has not got married yet but her sister got married at the age of 25.. she feels sad…she does not know that she will get married at the perfect time…the right time…or it is better for her to stay single because she may have a bad husband who may turn her life into hell…

He does not have children…but his neighbours have 3 children…he feels sad….he does not know that this is the perfect thing for him…he may have got sick children and spend his life trying to find a solution but in vain.

We have to do our best to achieve our dreams but at the same time we have to know that everything will come at the timing of our own clock…at the perfect time even if it comes late..but it will come at the right time…

Allah says in Al Insan Surah …verse 30..

Chapter 76 The man سورة الإنسان – Al-Insan: Verse 30

وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Peace be with you.

Patience on the unknown…

As moslems we have a habit..

Every Friday we should read the cave chapter of the Quraan…

The cave chapter has a lot of important life topics…every time you read…you learn a new lesson…

There are a lot of stories in the cave chapter…

I will tell you one of those stories briefly…and the moral behind it.

Once upon a time prophet Moses was ordered by God(Allah) to go and search for a man called Al khedr …this man will teach him many useful things…

Moses went and after a long time of search he found Al khedr…

. He (Khidr) said: “Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!

68. “And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?”

69. Musa (Moses) said: “If Allah will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.”

70. He (Khidr) said: “Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you.”

71. So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he (Khidr) scuttled it. Musa (Moses) said: “Have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing “Imra” (a Munkar – evil, bad, dreadful thing).”

72. He (Khidr) said: “Did I not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me?”

73. [Musa (Moses)] said: “Call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you).”

74. Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Musa (Moses) said: “Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing “Nukra” (a great Munkar – prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!”

75. (Khidr) said: “Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?”

76. [Musa (Moses)] said: “If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me.”

77. Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. [Musa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!”

78. (Khidr) said: “This is the parting between me and you, I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience.

79. “As for the ship, it belonged to Masakin (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king after them who seized every ship by force.

80. “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.

81. “So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy.

82. “And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience.”

The lesson is that we have to be patient during our life journey…some events may happen to us or to other people and we ask ourselves why ?why?and why? And we find no answer…then after some time the answer comes to us…and we learn that we should have been more patient…

Life is interesting indeed….isn’t it?

Best wishes !

Bravo !

I say bravo to any one who can think with his mind and take decisions that are better for his life and his future .

Allah says in Quraan….

فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ

ال عمران 159

1. and when you have made up your mind for any thing, then put your trust in Allah. Undoubtedly the trustful are dear to Allah. (Al Imran chapter…verse 159..)

Black glasses…👓

Do not wear black glasses.ln fact life is too short to hide behind your black glasses.Get rid of those ugly glasses…face the world with no fear….face people with their faults .Talk with them…negotiations are better than silence…

Silence make our problems worse sometimes….

When I deal with people who like to use implications instead of talking directly…I feel that I fell into a deep dark well…this well has no end .I begin to have a headeache because of over thinking.And then I begin to be crazy or mad.I feel that I need a psychiatrist when I reach to that degree of over thinking.

So why don’t we use the staight way in dealing with people.It is better for a healthy life.

Allah says in Quraan..

يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقولوا راعنا وقولوا انظرنا واسمعوا وللكافرين عذاب أليم

O ye of faith! Say not (to the Messenger) words of ambiguous import, but words of respect; and hearken (to him): To those without Faith is a grievous punishment
