U n s a i d W o r d s . .

How many good words do we lock inside & fear spilling out? How many nice feelings do we refrain from sharing; thinking that by doing so, we'll be stronger?! :(

I just read one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.. It came from someone who says it out loud whenever & wherever.. In the short time I've known her, I saw in her some beautiful stuff that you'd hardly get to see nowadays.. Well, my dear M. said: "My family is the reason I get up every day!!After 18 years, my husband still makes me laugh and gives me butterflies in my stomach when he smiles!!!!!" How gorgeous is that! MashaAllah :D

It's really good to live in peace starting from within yourself all the way out :) And that doesn’t come easily.. It comes after connection.. A real strong connection; with God, with yourself & with all that surrounds you..

And one of the best connections that I love experiencing, is connecting with the past.. Whether mine, or others’.. Last night, after talking about “our” national day, I started recalling all different things that happened on that day on each new year.. I remember when I was a bit younger, there was this roundabout -that was there for years- which was decorated in this simple way that always brought me joy.. It’s now no more than a memory that draws a smile on my face :)

One of the words that also gives me joy whenever it’s said is: “Labbayk”.. At a young age, our Qur’an teachers made this beautiful small ka’ba-like black box to teach us how to perform hajj.. God, what memories that day brings me! It felt like flying! Man, that’s my number one wish: Hajj! Khaaaaaaaloooooooooooo, I’m sooooooooo happy for you guys! You’re chosen, by HIM, from amongst millions; to be there this year, inshaAllah :D Mubarak inshaAllah uncolty :D

Labayka Allahuma labayk, labayka la shareeka laka labayk.. Inna alhamda, wa inni’mata laka walmulk, laaaaaa shareeka lak :D
Here I am at your service, oh Lord, here I am - here I am.. No partner do you have.. Here I am.. Truly, the praise and the favor are yours, and the dominion.. No partner do you have.. :D

Beyond words!

Allah holds the master plan and it's already written

The pens are withdrawn, the pages are dry... it's written!

Looking back on my life

Life that's gladly been given to me

Open my eyes and embrace the smile

Given to you & I

~ Outlandish ~

La illaha illa Allah :)
Allaaaahu Akbar :)
Alhamdulillah :)

~

And yet, there are words left unsaid..

P.S. Let's fast the "nine days" together :)

M O S H Y <3

Moshy is my childhood's 'best friend', with whom I learned more about the different colors of life..
~

But with time, & around the seventh grade we went our separate ways; the waves of life took her away to a new land & distance did come on the way.. After years, we talked briefly over the phone, without seeing each other.. And only last night, I saw her picture in her white dress, that one that every girl dreams of! Goose bumps & tears didn't leave me & thoughts & memories haunted me ever since! How? When? What? We're not kids anymore? I mean today, I was counting the exam papers & kids in my class, & mistakenly counted them as 32 while they were only 31! Was I considering myself one of them?!!!! Moshyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy got married! Wooooooorld! My Moshy got married! Habeebet alby!
~
I was thinking, you know, there is a nice trick I use sometimes to see more into people: I just think to myself, they were a kid once, easy sara, easy on them; they weren't born like so.. Seeing Moshy's eyes, they were the very same! With all the make up & what not not, I saw the same old Moshy! When did she grow to become a beautiful young lady living with a man all on her own? Am I looking like her? When did we grow so fast? You know what was the first thought that crossed my mind after seeing that pic? Does he know the Moshy I know? Will he take care of her? Does he know how fragile she is? My Moshy? Does he know that she is a great song writer? Did she tell him about the songs we sang together & about that delicate artist in her? Did she tell him how her house used to smell like? Did she tell him how good her dad took care of her & that he should do the same? Did she tell him that she's never been touched by another man & that she's as pure as the freshest bud? Did she tell him that she hates lies & that she's never lied & expects him to do the same? Did she?
~
All I can do now is pray & pray & pray for you Moshy.. May Al Wadood grant you both the joy that fills your hearts & may it pour out to the world that surrounds you.. May your love grow & fill our world with all that is gracious & blessed.. Amen <3
~

Remember Moshy? remember this:
One M loves S, Two S loves M, Three M & S, 1 2 3 I love you <3

** My Everything **


(picture's source)

It's amazing how ........................ Isn't it? It always makes me wonder about so many things, & of those things: "do I really wanna know what's there waiting for me? Do I?".. Of course I rely totally on His Will, but something's always gotta give!

Ya Allah! You Are Truth! You Are Light! You Are My Everything! You know what brothers & sisters, it's pretty relieving having Him as your everything! IT IS!

Whenever I'm happy, I get this tingly feeling in my chest, coming right from my heart, & I always wonder if there's a physical theory behind it, & I don't even care now if there's one; 'cuz right now, that's how I feel, & it feels good! I wish I can share it with everybody..

This is exactly how I feel now!

Allahu Akbar :)

Their Nile.. My Nile..

Will I be able to drink from it anytime soon? Which land will carry me next? Where to? Questions that I never find the answers to in the 'teacher's edition'..
~
When someone gets real weak & you feel paralyzed & don't know what to do to help, look into Qasim's face.. Trust me, you'll feel joy hitting you right in the saddest part engraved deep down inside of you & turn it into a positive push.. A push that will help you fix things on the other
side that will eventually strengthen that weakness you couldn't help 'em loved ones with :)
~
Nothing goes to waste, ever!

Alhamdulillah..

Know how some people drink a full glass of water in two or three gulps? They don't even breathe man! Not only with water, with everything else.. With driving.. Driving their own lives.. Even with their own kids.. Their flesh and blood.. EASY GUYS! Have we become so greedy or is it my eyes?

"I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on playing for their metaphors
But don't leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
But I know it just ain’t so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again
and again and again
It sure seems the same, with a different name
We're breaking and rebuilding
and we're growing
always guessing
Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
Were trying but where is this all leading?
We'll Never Know
It all happened so much faster than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last one and maybe that’s just the answer that we're after
But after all we're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We're moments just combusting
We feel certain but we'll never, never know
It sure seems the same, give it a different name
We're begging and we're needing
and we're trying and we're breathing
Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
We're helping, rebuilding and we're growing
Never Know
Knock, knock coming door to door
To tell ya that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim things are looking pretty grim
If you don’t believe in what they're spoon feeding
Its got no feeling so I read it again and again and again
It sure seems the same so many different names
Our hearts are strong our heads are weak
We'll always be competing
Never knowing
We're shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments, we're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human, amusing and confusing
But the truth is all we got is questions
We'll Never Know
Never Know
Never Know"
