Hate-No More

I am tired of people abusing openly at social network sites. and they don't even pause for a lady. they have apparently brought down all walls. The civility which was attached to 'educated' is nowhere to be seen. The degrees and job descriptions written after your name on these sites are of no importance if one checks out your tweets and the things you say-even to ladies. This is audacious. I was plainly shocked when I read that tweet. My eyes physically hurt when I read something like this. And it was ReTweeted-meaning forwarded to others. Lord. What an age. I was thinking about un-following all the people who used hate as their weapon but than I realized I will be following very few. If this is freedom of expression than God forbid we are better without it.  Though I am enraged and want to say more but ending it on few quotations IF 'they' would just try to listen .

Do Not Bind Your Hand

And as for man, when his Lord tries him and [thus] is generous to him and favors him, he says, "My Lord has honored me." [89:15] But when He tries him and restricts his provision, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me." [89:16] No!

Spend Spend Spend*

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah - Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them , [2:1-2] and spend out of that in which He has made you successors.

[57:11] "Do not withold your money or else Allah will withold His blessings from you. Spend in (Allah's cause) as much as you can." [Sahih Bukhari] *In Allah's cause. :) 

Meetings And Miracles

(Prepared with Mr. Akhtar Wasim from  http://mypageonweb.blogspot.com/ ) They say we get parents by fate but choose our friends for ourselves. But sometimes we don't even get to choose and Allah materialize special people in our lives 'just like that'. Most beautiful people we hadn't realized, until then, living oceans apart yet in our hearts.  Meeting is an eternal desire of man. Even the beauty, bounty and serenity of paradise were not enough for Adam to live in bliss, peace and happiness alone, he missed something, he didn't know what, but Allah knew, so he was given the companion, Eve. We need the others always in the times of bliss or in times of tremor because that other works as our mirror, and we love to see mirror. Maulana Rumi says:  "for every Jacob there is a Joseph somewhere whose fragrance assures him that the meeting time is not that far away. And for each of us there is a Joseph waiting to meet us, to make our life meaningful."
