We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience,
and live without heart;

We may live without friends;
we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.

[*F@ttY*]

Listen to your heart and not your ego. ..

Do not deem yourself prudent, for as long as you are attached to the world, you have neither prudence nor sense. Turn to God and seek forgiveness if you wish to prevail. Listen to your heart and not your ego. Your ego prompts you to boast of vain assertions to obtain the glory of this world. Turn away from vanity and seek Him in the recesses of your heart and soul. Show patience in adversity and be content in His will that you may attain proximity to God.

No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears. - Unknown
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I am amazed at the heart of man: It possesses the substance of wisdom as well as the opposites contrary to it ...for if hope arises in it, it is brought low by covetousness: and if covetousness is aroused in it, greed destroys it. If despair possesses it, self-piety kills it: and if it is seized by anger, this is intensified by rage. If it is blessed with contentment, then it forgets to be careful; and if it is filled with fear, then it becomes preoccupied with being cautious. If it feels secure, then it is overcome by vain hopes; and if it is
given wealth, then its independence makes it extravagant. If want strikes it, then it is smitten by anxiety. If it is weakened by hunger, then it gives way to exhaustion; and if it goes too far in satisfying its appetites, then its inner becomes clogged up. So all its shortcomings are harmful to it, and all its excesses corrupt it."
-Ali ibn Abu Talib (A.S.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oftentimes have I heard you speak of one who commits a wrong
as though he were not one of you,

but a stranger unto you and an intruder upon your world.

But I say that even as the holy and the righteous
cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you,

So the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower
than the lowest which is in you also.

And as a single leaf turns not yellow but
with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,

So the wrong-doer cannot do wrong
without the hidden will of you all.

On Crime and Punishment (An excerpt from "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran)

Ease and hardship are the feathers that give strength to the wings of your faith so that your heart and your innermost being can use them to fly to the door of your Lord, Almighty and Glorious is He.

Jzk sis lena. that hadith reminds me of something i read on another forum once:

OuR UmM@H is like a TasBeeH:

A Tasbih is used to keep count of dhikr. It is usually made up of 100 beads which are held together in a necklace form by a thread. As long as the tasbih remains in its original form, it can be used for doing good deeds. However, what happens if the thread rips? The beads fall all over the place and create a mess. Similar is the example of this ummah. As long as the Muslims remain united together, good results will come out of them. However, as soon as they are divided, they will create a big mess, which is clearly visible in these days.

May Allah guide us on the staright path and May Allah make our struggle for him easy. Ameen
