Never too OLD!

You're never too old to have goals,
You're never too old to appreciate true beauty,
You're never too old to experience love,
You're never too old to learn something new,
Such as playing the violin, guitar or any medium in art.
Or to create that sensational perfume that you have in the back of your mind..
You're never too old to visit new places , to meet new faces..
In fact you're never too old to learn right from wrong.
You're never too old to be happy.


Never let anyone tell you that you can't or that you shouldn't..
Never let anyone keep you from Growing and Evolving in Life!

There is nothing wrong with reaching for the stars and dreaming the big dream..
When you let go of the inner child, you let go of Living and essentially you give up being all that you can be.

What afflicts them...afflicts you.

At the back of my mind..
I think of them.
As I carry on in my day
I think of them.

Those at the forefront
Nobody to hear their cries
Nobody to look to the other Side.
Nobody to genuinely look into their eyes.

A moment in my peaceful day
I hear their faint cries.
But they are far from forgotten & never will I ignore..
InshAllah, I'll live my days with them in my mind..
InshAllah, I'll have made the most of my days here in this Dunya striving for the betterment of our Ummah/Community

Their hope & dreams at the forefront..
InshAllah, I don't let them down..

For the innocent Palestinians, Jews & all people who are afflicted & tormented by the corruption of Politics and manipulation of Religion. Error isn't with religion, But the people themselves..

For the people who lived side by side as Muslims, Christians, and Jews under One God (Lā ʾilāha ʾillallāh)
in Peace.

For those whose lives within' AND outside of Palestine & Israel alike, have been shattered by the evil force of Zionism. .. and SELF.

InshAllah He guides & protects us all & keeps us discerning to Truth & Justice.

Manners

In order to obtain respect, one must show respect. Doesn't matter what the situation is, or how a person behaves. One should always act in a respectful, dignified manner in order to be taken seriously. The louder one screams, the farther one isolates. Empty vessels make the most sound. Be silent, thoughtful, and in control of your emotions. Let true thought of love, compassion, and generosity flourish. May this practice bring one wisdom. May it bring one Greater Understanding.

Ya Rab.

Life goes on

And Life goes on... Death a reminder to ourselves that we too will face our Creator. InshAllah we live everyday being the best that we're capable of. Spread love..And as Life goes on, remember that these days are merely a footstep,a stepping stone to Greater awakening. This life within' this dunya is nothing compared to the Life within' Jannah. InshAllah we make these days worth while... If you got drama in your life, make right and let go.

Make it right.

Lifes too short

Life's too short to sweat the small stuff.. Life's too short to let ego and error get in the way of having good relationships with the ones you love, are closest to or wish to become closer with. In the end is the anger, spitefulness, resentment & so on really worth it?? Whether we realize it or not, our thoughts & actions towards others internalize. We have more control over our own happiness and relationships than we realize. Positivity and change starts inside. Nurture the love you have and aspire to have with others and feel it grow within' yourself. InshAllah

In Him

A bundle of emotions..
Some of which seek light..
And perhaps a few wish to remain as they are,
Shadows within'...

Emotion
One word, but has no bounds

Good and the bad...

Sincerely grateful to You my Creator,
for instilling inside of me these signs

Yes, sometimes these emotions may feel overbearing
And you feel at a loss..
Imperfect we are and sometimes we cave into ourselves.

Emotions
Whether to restrain or let them loose?
How to make sense of them when there is a storm brewing inside?

These are reminders to ourselves..
To turn to Him
Love Him
And be Grateful to Him

In Him Is the answer.

A fine line

There is a fine line between fighting for your country & fighting for the rights and freedoms of the people that live there. Don't let nationalism and extreme patriotism over ride all sense and neglect the rights and freedoms of your neighbors , regardless where they're from. I hope people stop and think. Ya Rab.

Free

The chaos of this dunya feels like it will never cease to end.
But oh.. All will come to an end.
An end to the pain and strife of this life, dear dunya.
Where all are held accountable for every good/bad action or lack of.
So when I see the rubbish that is rubbed in our faces every single day...

This truth is what sets me free.
