a true friend..


a friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested on three occasions; in time of need, behind your back, and after your death
[Ali Ibn Abi Talib r.a]

knowledge and wisdom..


Knowledge is understanding that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

"i am a traveller.."

[just a display picture]

and when imam al-shafie (rahimullah) reached forty (years of age) he began to walk with a staff, and when questioned about it used to say: "to remind myself that i am a traveller"

what would you do?..

i smile,
and you ask, "what makes you so happy?"
"...........nothing"
but my heart screams, "you are, you are the reason for my happiness"
so, if you knew,
what would you do?

i cry,
and you ask, "what makes you so sad?"
"...........nothing"
but my heart weeps, "you are, you are the reason for my sadness"
so, if you knew,
what would you do?

[please tell me, tell me, what would you do...]

seeing is not all the time believing..


and it is all; but a mirage..
deceived you not by it...
