I feed on bitterness and satiety never comes.
Today sadness has renewed itself.
Let me narrate the story of two souls,
Whose love was struck by the evil eye,
In a twist which Fate had hidden.
Luck won’t smile and Time will scorch.
Only the stars know what is wrong with me.
I almost sense them craning to wipe my tears away.

Festivals and fasts are unhinged, traveling backward at a rate of ten days per year, attached to no season. Even Laylat ul Qadr, the holiest night in Ramadan, drifts--its precise date is unknown. The iconclasm laid down by Muhammed was absolute: you must resist attachment not only to painted images, but to natural ones. Ramadan, Muharram, the Eids; you associate no religious event with the tang of snow in the air, or spring thaw, or the advent of summer. God permeates these things--as the saying goes, Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty--but they are transient. Forced to concentrate on the eternal, you begin to see, or think you see, the bones and sinews of the world beneath its seasonal flesh. The sun and moon become formidable clockwork. They are transient also, but hint at the dark planes that stretch beyond the earth in every direction, full of stars and dust, toward a retreating, incomprehensible edge

Shams of Tabriz
Befuddled believer! If every Ramadan one fasts in the name of God and every Eid one sacrifices a sheep or a goat as an atonement for his sins, if all his life one strives to make pilgrimage to Mecca and five times a day kneels on a prayer rug but at the same time has no room for love in his heart, what is the use of all this trouble? Faith is only a word if there is no love at its center, so flaccid and lifeless, vague and hollow -- not anything you could truly feel.
Pity the fool who thinks the boundaries of his mortal mind are the boundaries of God the Almighty. Pity the ignorant who assume they can negotiate and settle debts with God. Do such people think God is a grocer who attempts to weigh our virtues and wrongdoings on two separate scales? Is He a clerk meticulously writing down our sins in His accounting book so as to make us pay Him back someday? Is this their notion of Oneness?

The media suffer from an internalised as well as institutionalised Islamophilia. They could never broadcast, or print, during Ramadan, Eid or any other Muslim festival a programme or article explaining from the Christian – or any other – point of view why Islam’s founding story simply doesn’t stack up. It wouldn’t be hard to write or make it. Let any scholar loose on the materials and they could do it. Biblical or Torah scholars using the tools of criticism could use them on the Koran and have a wonderful and fascinating time of it. But would the nation’s broadcaster run it? Or the ‘paper of record’ print it? If during any day of the year – let alone a major Muslim festival – the main newspapers in Britain or America chose to commission a Christian scholar to review a book casting doubt on the likelihood of Mohammed’s existence, say, or his claims to be a prophet, I think everybody knows what would happen. The papers and broadcasters know what would happen too. Which is why they don’t do it. And which is why when it comes to Islam we begin by avoiding it, go on to treat it with kid gloves,

A healthy Ramadan diet by Sunrise nutrition hub
Ramadan is the only month in a year where everyone get an opportunity to stop bad habits that can effect our health and adopt healthier and nutritious diets. While increasing its efficiency, fasting relieves and strengthens the digestive system. Also helps adjust triglyceride levels in the blood. But many have reversed the rule. While breaking the fast people tempt to have lavish food, sweets and fried food, which can lead to an increase in triglycerides and cholesterol. Also increase the chances of getting diabetes and weight gain which is opposite of what the fasting person is trying to achieve.
The major role during Ramzan is a balanced and nutritional meal. The quantity and the quality of meal matters.
The ideal meal plan which can help you stay healthy in Ramzan is given below:-
Break your fast with 2-3 dates. Fasting whole day will lead to low blood sugar. Dates help to restore your blood sugar. And boost your energy level.
Do not forget to include health soup and salad into your meal. Soup is a liquid with healthy ingredient. And salad will make you feel full, which is healthy and ll help you to stay away from fried food or sweets.
Avoid fried and fatty food. substitute frying with baking or grilling.
Avoid eating sweet food during Ramzan and save it for a special occasions like EID or inviting any guest for iftar.
Iftar Meal :-
· Break fast with 3 dates and two cup of water.
· Eat healthy soup with contains veggies or chicken. Avoid creamy and fatty soup.
· Eating appetizers after soup will prepare your stomach for digestion process. Avoid oily appetizer and switch it to health salad which includes lots of vegetable and chicken. Sprinkle some lemon or vinegar without any added sugar.
· Little bit of carbohydrate should be included in your iftar meal such as brown - rice, pasta or bread. And add protein to it such as chicken, meat or fish.
Suhoor meal :-
Start your meal with 3 dates. As you ll be fasting whole day, your blood sugar will get low. It ll help you maintain your blood sugar.
Have carbohydrate such as whole wheat – rice or bread. It helps in slow digestion process. It can help you to feel full for a longer time.
Add a healthy fruit or veggie smoothie in your diet. Which will give you an energy during fasting.
Add dried fruits in your smoothie.

It matters to choose the right words to convey your message.
When you deliver a speech, message, or congratulations, it should be in the correct context, not out of context; otherwise, your best speech, message, or congratulations will have the wrong impact.
It matters more if one holds a high status; in this situation, such one should be more careful than a common one.
A day ago, while I was glancing at the posts on social media, I saw a message from António Guterres, the secretary general of the United Nations, on Eid al-Fitr, the celebration of the Muslim world, that put me in thunderbolt.
Such a personality and such a blunder, I could not ignore it, even though I am sure it was not a deliberate intention. António Guterres’s written and video message executed the Muslim world as a community; it is still a question: does the United Nations consider Muslims a community or separate nations? I commented on that message:
Please note that the Muslim world is not a community; a community is a small group of people. Do you think Muslim nations, with an estimated total of approximately 1.9 billion, the majority in 49 countries, are a community?
I know it is very tough to bear the truth, and that’s why most of my writings face illegitimate restrictions in civilized societies where press and speech freedom matter. It is a question: how much truth is in it?

Kirkuk, one of the heavens of God on earth, is one of the northern governorates of Iraq in which they live. The Kurdish race is shared with them, a race out of many in Iraq.
Two children of two different ethnicities, playing in a village square in Kirkuk province when the news came from Baghdad, of a new military coup.
Without delay, Saddam Hussein took over the reins of power, and faster than that, Iraq was plunged into successive wars that began in 1980 with its neighbor Iran, a war that lasted eight years. Iraq barely rested for two years, and in the third, a new war in Kuwait, which did not end in the best condition as the leader had hoped, as he was expelled from it after the establishment of an international coalition to liberate it, led by the United States of America. Iraq entered a new phase of suffering, a siege that lasted more than ten years, and ended up with the removal of Saddam Hussein from his power followed by the US occupation of it in 2003.
As the father goes, he returns from this road, there is no way back but from it. As the date approaches, the son stands on the back of that hill waiting for him to return. From far away he waved a longing, with a bag of dreams in his hands, a bag of candy in his pocket, and a poem of longing by a Turkmen poet who absorb Arabic, whose words danced on his lips, in his heart.
-When will you come back, dad?
-On the Eid, wait for me on the hill, you will see me coming from the road, waving, carrying your gifts.
The father bid his son farewell to the Arab Shiite city of Basra, on the border with Iran, after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, as the homeland is calling its men, or perhaps the leader is calling his subjects. In Iraq, as in many countries of the Arab world, the homeland is the leader, and the leader is the homeland.
Months passed, the child eagerly anticipating the coming of the feast, but the father hurried to return without an appointment, loaded on the shoulders, the passion reached its extent in the martyr’s chest, with a sheet of paper in his pocket on which he wrote:
Every morning takes me nostalgic for you,
to the jasmine flower,
oh, melody in the heart, oh balm I sip every while,
To you, I extend a hand and a fire that ignites in the soul a buried love,
night shakes me with tears in my eyes,
my longing for you has shaped me into dreams,
stretching footsteps to the left and to the right, gleam,
calling out for me, you scream,
waking me up to the glimpse of the light of life in your face,
a thousand sparkles, in your eyes, a meaning of survival, a smile, and a glace,
Eid comes to you as a companion, without, life yet has no trace,
for roses, necklaces of love, so that you amaze.
-Where is Ruslan?
On the morning of the feast day, at the door of his house, the kids asked his mother,
-with tears in her eyes: He went to meet his father.
A moment of silence fell over the children,
-Raman, with a little gut: Aunt, do you mean he went to the cemetery?
-Mother: He went to meet him at those hills.

Rushing toward his friend as if he races the pain races to him, struggles with sorrow. Raman crossed the green fields between them. Since they met, they did not part, and they vowed not to do so.
-“I will not leave him alone, I will be his father, brother, and friend”,
this is how he took a vow to himself when he saw his friend crying and complaining about his father’s departure to war. Thus, he renewed the covenant on the day he saw him silent and alone, with his mother placing in his hands the farewell poem.
A hand patted his shoulder, wrapped towards him, and hugged him
– my friend, he is gone.
– he will come back, Raman, my father promised me that he will come back on Eid morning.
– Ruslan, he can’t keep this promise anymore. Now, it is Eid, let’s play and have fun.
– No, Eid will never come unless my father comes, Eid will never come unless my father comes.

Buimacul credincios! Dacă de fiecare Ramadan ținem post în numele Domnului și de fiecare Eid aducem jertfă o oaie sau o capră drept ispășire pentru păcatele noastre, dacă toată viața ne căznim să pornim în hagialâc la Mecca și de cinci ori pe zi îngenunchem pe covorașul de rugăciune, dar în același timp nu avem loc pentru iubire în inima noastră, ce rost are toată osteneala asta? Credința e doar un cuvânt dacă nu e iubire în miezul ei, atât de bicisnic și neînsuflețit, nedeslușit și găunos - nu ceva ce poți simți cu adevărat.

Next time you run across an unusually good designer, landscaper, mechanic, electrician, carpenter, plumber, radiologist, surgeon, orthodontist, small business owner, computer software or graphics designer, computer networker, photographer, artist, boat captain, airplane pilot, or skilled member of any of the dozens of “dyslexia-rich” fields we’ll discuss in this book, ask if that person or anyone in his or her immediate family is dyslexic or had trouble learning to read, write, or spell. We’ll bet you dollars for dimes that person will say yes—the connection is just that strong. In fact, many of the most important and perceptive experts in the field of dyslexia have remarked on the link they’ve seen between dyslexia and talent.

While M-strengths receive little emphasis or nurturing in most school curricula, they play an essential role in many adult occupations. Designers, mechanics, engineers, surgeons, radiologists, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, builders, skilled artisans, dentists, orthodontists, architects, chemists, physicists, astronomers, drivers of trucks, buses, and taxis, and computer specialists (especially in areas like networking, program and systems architecture, and graphics) all rely on M-strengths for much of what they do.

Early in life, many dyslexic children with prominent M-strengths seem naturally drawn to engage in highly spatial tasks. In a survey of children from our practice (ages seven to fifteen), we found that children with dyslexia engaged in building projects—everything from LEGOs and K’NEX to small models to massive outdoor landscaping and construction projects—at nearly twice the rate of their nondyslexic peers.

Thomas var en liten lyslugget knyttneve av en kar og Sanna en spinkel småfugl, mager og svart i håret. Og slettes ingenting gjorde det at de hver vår i begynnelsen ikke eide mange ordene sammen, fordi de ikke forsto hverandres vinterspråk. Talen i fjellet og ved sjøen var så menn ikke den samme. Men etter noen timer snakket de ikke språk lenger. De forsto hverandre helt fint akkurat som dyra. Før sommeren var slutt hadde de et blandingsspråk som ingen andre begrep noe av.

Kerge on leida eestlast, kes on parajasti kurb või rõõmus, õnnelik või õnnetu, või sellist, kes parajasti magab. Ent eestlast, kes ei oleks parasjagu suures ärevuses, kes ei tassiks seljas härjasuurust murekoormat - sellist ei ole! Kui niisugune tänaval vastu tuleks, me langeks tema ette põrmu. Vanajumala muretünn läks kogemata ümber Eesti kohal. Kõik, kes püüdsid siia elama asuda, kõngesid varem või hiljem mure kätte. Ainult eestlased pidasid vastu ja jäid, hakkasid muretaignast kakku küpsetama, muretsesid lapsed... Oh eestlane, murelaps, Mure-eide tütar! Seetõttu on kõige vastutustundetum asi, mida eestlasele võib öelda: "Muretsemiseks pole mingit põhjust!" Selline mõtteavaldus kiilub ugrilases midagi lõplikult kinni, lööb tema seedimise rikki, tema keha jäigastub ja munades hakkab pigistama. Mis mõttes? Muretsemiseks on alati põhjust!

Accordingly, Abraham’s dream was not a divine commandment to sacrifice his son. Abraham had just misinterpreted the dream’s lesson, and God had “rescued his son from Abraham’s misapprehension.”41 Today, more than a billion Muslims around the world recall Abraham’s ordeal every year in the Eid al-Adha. Only very few of them are, however, aware of this alternative interpretation of the story. For just

I hope I move to a new flat before Eid, and then what will happen, it is up to my Allah. Do not think it is easy to enter into my life. No one can buy me. No one can reach me without sincerity, fairness, honesty, justice, neutrality, good faith, humanity, values of Islam, and true love. If you are empty of those values, it is better to look and go any other direction to achieve your goals and desires instead.
