Paradise – A little poem

April 21, 2010

This is a little poem written by Amir from the Greeks Rethink team, for your entertainment.
Enjoy!

In this world everything
Yes everything I say
Does know it’s origin
And knows it’s final day

Nothing is a mystery
And everything is true
Dig out your consciousness
To see there’s only You

Remember, you are the Human
The manifested light
Fight your darkest demons
And the deep slumber, fight

Announce aloud publicly
For everyone to hear
That except our Lord The most High
There’s nothing else to fear

Don’t try to hide yourself
Reality surely is manifest
Don’t drown in your darkest lies
The light is in your chest

And do not – ever – doubt His Word
For He is The All-Wise
For through His Word is the true Peace
And by His Word your rise

Rise oh child of Adam
And don’t you ever look down
Walk the path of true success
The path that He has made for you
The path of Truth and Glory and Light
The path to Paradise

Hajj days start this Tuesday

November 15, 2009

Most likely, Eid Al-Adha is going to fall on November 27, 2009.  That means the best 10 days of the year are from November 17-26.  If you are reading this now, most likely you are not going for Hajj this year but you still can get blessings by:

  • Fasting
  • Saying subhan Allah wal Alhamdulillah, wa La illah illah Allah wa Allahu akbar
  • Doing extra voluntary deeds of prayer, charity, sacrifice an animal etc.
  • Repentance
  • Dhikr

In the coming days, I plan to write some more about Hajj, but for now, this is a nice video to get in the mood for 10 best days:
