Its A Beautiful Day To Save Lives ☤

“I say be patient because you must. There is no sense in shaking the tree when there are no fruits ripe enough for you to catch.”

This Ramadan, the Old City is covered not with decorations but with the blood of martyrs.

“I find beauty in what others find pointless. I find beauty in the way we try to find answers, even if we know there aren’t any. I find beauty in the way we look up into the stars, creating shapes out of them and giving those shapes names for the sake of something to do. We create myths and mysteries to keep ourselves busy even if in the end those theories are proven wrong. Human beings let their minds wander past dead ends, and I find beauty in that.”

The tear had not yet dropped from the eye And He announced to the heavens He had extinguished for you the fire. As it rolled down your cheek He had changed your ugly deeds to beauty And caused your rank to rise. And finally when that tiny tear, No bigger than a mosquito’s wing, Crashed upon the ground, He had guaranteed you His gardens and His pleasure. And for every tear that followed, Only He can describe your reward. Is this too much to expect from the Most Generous? No, rather it is too little.  So do with us what befits you, For you are the Most Merciful King And the Most Gracious Lord.

“Be careful in your rage against the oppressor that you do not yourself become the transgressor. Do not succumb to the rules of repression they have instituted to maintain your suppression, but do not forget to your Lord you will be accountable for your action.”

“And whenever you receive guidance of the Lord to achieve the thing you desire, then do not be proud of your achievement but be humble and submissive to Him and realize that your success was due to His Mercy and Favour.”

“From my heart’s inner sanctum, From where no listener can hear, Two words take flight To the one with no ear; First I call “ربي” and my prayer is your name: The star and the moons deem me insane. In light silent vigil I rest beaming at the sky: My heart never tires, but I must rest my eye.”

“If dreams are symbols Of the turnings of our day, Do days not manifest Realities to which we sleep, And calls from above To which we have failed to heed?”

“The only person you’re destined to become is the person you decide to be.”

“Alone you are a droplet – United you are the sea. Alone you are a candle – Together you are The sun by which we see.”
