Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your childrenH notes: Now being a parent, i see a new light in perspective on a child. It's a day to day ambition, a day to day achievement...Expectation may be the key of a lot of dissapointment, but I can only do but pray and hope that my step son, the little feet (and insyaAllah, many of our children to come) would grow up as a steady arrow and soar forward...May God guide me to be the best Bow i can be...Amen~
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Bismillah, like the feeling when I miss Falah,

Hamdulilah,

if I back to Basrah will it ever receive me,
Bismillah,

Now I wish to stars that angel find Nawaf.

Kiss her and thank God our mission is planned for us.

and the moment my brothers programmed these drums,

We put the truth to the test, proof that we're blessed students of this music at best.
Bismillah,
Before I spit this bar, way Before Militants tried to split this law
Hamdulillah,

Hamdulillah,
for this world, in this spot to this song with these words for hip-hop say
Bismilllah,
stay humble in rhymes in eyes that hate your hunger
its like a jungle sometimes it makes you wonder
"Jonathan Livingston Seagull stands out from the other gulls in his flock. He doesn’t live to eat, but eats to live and pursue his one great passion: flight. But his search for soaring hights and perfect flight only alienates him from the other seagulls, and eventually he gets expelled from the flock just for daring to be different. That’s when the real journey begins.
Written by Richard Bach, who is known for his passion for flying and reflecting it through insightful metaphorical context in his writing."
"Instead of reviewing this book, I will just give you a quote:
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
"One of the most famous works of children’s contemporary literature, this little gem of a book is full of invaluable insights into human psyche.
The Little Prince was first published in 1943, only a year before his creator’s airplane vanished without a trace over the Mediterranean Sea, during a reconnaissance mission. Today, more than a half century later, this wonderful fable of love, loneliness and search for meaning, continues to inspire children and people of all ages."
With all those stir in the media,
let us all remind each other that let us all citizen of Peace respond in patience.
Remind your brother and sister let our actions speaks louder than our words.
don't say nothing if you feel like retaliating. it's not worth it.
Our guidance asked us to speak Gracefully, not in profanities.
Keep your head high and don't be afraid.
We have Faith...We have Guidance
It's Promised a Victory.
So, BE GUIDED and be gentle.
Stand your ground and be humble.
We're people of peace, and we only speak goodness...
when our emotion slips, remind our human self.
don't loose ourselves and clawing each other,
remember we're on the same side.
we're citizen of Peace.
remember...
"And speak good to people."
(The Quran al-Baqarah 2:83)
Love+Peace,
