“Ask God for everything, even if it is a shoelace. Ask Him for the simplest of things, even your daily energy. Let go of this false sense of "I" that is growing in our hearts. We say "I" thinking we are the center of power, when it is this very ego of ours that is destroying us. The secret to a blessed life is humility, and taking the time to ask God for what we assume we already have is one way of instilling this.”
ستنتهي الحرب، ويتصافح القادة، وتبقى تلك العجوز تنتظر ولدها الشهيد، وتلك الفتاة تنتظر زوجها الحبيب، وأولئك الأطفال ينتظرون والدهم البطل. لا أعلم من باع الوطن ولكنني رأيت من دفع الثمن.
The war will end, and leaders will shake hands, and the old lady will still wait for her martyred son, and that woman will wait for her beloved husband, and those children will wait for their heroic father. I don’t know who sold our homeland, but I have seen who paid the price.
"A university degree, four books and hundreds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You wrote me "Good morning" and I read it as "I love you".
– Mahmoud Darwish
"You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love–I love–I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."
– 🎥: Pride And Prejudice (2005)
"And I close my eyes to gaze into those depths, and am almost engulfed in you."
“If a mans heart gets attached to the world, then it catches three things, namely worry that never leaves him, greed that does not abandon him, and desire which he never fulfills” -Imam Ali (ع)
O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah… (59:18).' The word 'ittaqu' means be careful, guard yourself, but what role does the word 'Allah' have here? 'Allah' is the object of the verb 'ittaqu', it means fear Allah and guard yourselves against that danger which threatens you from Allah as punishment for the (bad) actions you do out of free choice.
