In Every situation we face in life, there is a lesson to be taught, there is an idea to be thought about... There is a wisdom to be valued, to be cherished, to be kept in the heart and to be put in front of our eyes.. "يؤْتِي الحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْراً كَثِيراً وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إلاَّ أُوْلُوا الأَلْبَابِ" فاللهم آتنا العلم و الحكمة =)

إنّما الأمم الأخلاق
اسمحولي أتكلم باللغة العامية لأنّي بجد مقهورة أوي
دخلت النهاردة أحد الكافيهات و أنا في قمة التعب و كان مخططي إنّي أشرب شوب نسكافيه و أقعد أكمل شغل في المشروع لأني عارفة إنّي لو روّحت مش هاعمل حاجة
روحت و قعدت و مستنية النسكافيه يجي، شفت قدامي منظر بجد قمة في الاشمئزاز! منظر بجد وجعلي قلبي و خلّاني أحس بالقهرة و الحسرة على بلدنا و أمتنا و هويتنا...
كان قاعد قدامي 4 "Couples" و بجد اقصد الكلمة دي بكل ما تحمله من معنى و مش هشرح لأنكم أكيد تخيلتم المنظر!
بجد كنت قرفانة أوي بس اللّي وجعني أكثر و أكثر البنات! أيوة، البنات! كانوا مسلمات محجبات و بيدخنّوا! ده غير القعدة اللي كانوا قاعدينها و كان نفسي أقوم أمسكهم كلهم أضربهم بالنار!
الموقف كان مشمئز لدرجة إنّي لمّيت حاجتي و مشيت...
و أنا في الطريق، كنت عمّالة أفكر و قلبي واجعني.... إزاي وصلنا لكده؟! إزاي بقينا كده؟ أد كده الأخلاق بقت منعدمة؟! أد كده بنهمل ديننا و رسولنا اللي قال "إنّما بُعثت لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق"؟! معنى الحديث ده أن الأخلاق هي أساس من أسس الإيمان الصح! طب فين و ليه و إزاي حصل المنظر اللي شفته ده؟!!
حسيت بإحساسين قمة في التناقض!
الأول، بفرحة إن ربنا سبحانه و تعالى أنعم علينا بنعمة الإنشغال بالحق... أنعم علينا بنعمة الصحبة الصالحة اللي بتشدّك لفوق مش تجرك لتحت
قد إيه حسيت المقولة اللي بتقول "إذا أردت أن تعرف مقامك، فانظر أين أقامك" ... قد إيه أن ربنّا فضّلنا على كثير من خلقه
الثاني، حسيت بمسئولية غير طبيعية! أن لأ! لازم أعمل حاجة! لازم أشغتل و أتعب علشان المنظر اللي حصل قدامي ده يضمحل و يختفي من مجتمعنا! حسيت أن في مفاهيم كثيرة أوي عند ناس كثيرة أوي لازم تتغير و أنا لازم يكون لي دور في ده! و من أهم هذة المفاهيم، مفهوم "التحضّر و الرقي"
و أنا قاعدة بأفكر في كل اللي حصل ده، لقيت نفسي بكتب الأبيات ديه
أجلس مكاني
و أرى ما أمامي
قلبي يقطر دماَ
و دموعي تذرف حرقةَ
حسرة على ما وصل إليه
حال أمّتي
يا حسرة على أمة
تاهت عنها الأخلاق و اندثرت
فلم يعد للعفة فيها مكان
يا حسرة على أمة
غاب عن القلوب الإيمان
فلم يعد للحياء مكان
ألهذة الدرجة وصلنا؟
ألهذة الدرجة تمكّنت الدنيا منّا؟
ألهذة الدرجة مُحيت هويتنا؟
ألهذة الدرجة أعمتنا عن خالقنا؟
فجعلناه أهون الناظرين إلينا؟
أهذة أمة محمد؟
أهذة خير أمة أُخرجت للناس؟
أهذة أمة من قيل له "و إنكَ لعلى خلق عظيم"؟
أم أصحبت كرامتنا و هويتنا بالأرجل تنداس؟
عجبا لك أيها الإنسان!
أتقول ربي الله و تعصيه؟
و تقول عدوي الشيطان و تؤاخيه؟
أفيقوا بالله عليكم
أفيقوا بالله عليكم
فإن الأمم الأخلاق ما بقيت
فإن ذهبت ذهبوا
أفيقوا بالله عليكم
أفيقوا، فإنّي رأيت من باع الأصالة
يرتدي ثوبا غريبا مشمئزا مائلا !
أفيقوا، فالأخلاق أشياء لا تُشترى و لكنّها تُباع
و ما أكثر من باعها!
اللهم اهدنا فيمن هديت
و عافنا فيمن عافيت
و تولّنا فيمن توليت
اللهم يا رحيم يا رحمن
يا حليم يا منّان
اهدنا و اغفر لنا
أنر قلوبنا و بصيرتنا
اللهم أبعد عنّا وساوس الشيطان
و عمِّر قلوبنا بالإيمان
فاللهم تقبل

عذرا أيتها الدنيا
عذرا أيتها الدنيا
فالجنة تناديني
فأنتِ ستظلّي كما أنتِ
دنيا... لذّتها، لا تحييني
شقائها، ليس سوى رحمة تنجّيني
عذرا أيتها الدنيا
فأنتِ لستِ هدفي
و لكنكِ مجرد طريقي
لستِ سوى وسيلة
بها أصل لغايتي
رضا و جنة ربّي و حبيبي
عذرا أيتها الدنيا
فلستِ من أريد
أطمع في جنة ربي
أطمع في مغفرته
أطمع في رضاه و كرمه الذي يفيض
عذرا أيتها الدنيا
فلستِ همّي
لستِ أنتِ سبب حزني و غمّي
ذنوبي تثقلني
من خجلي، يندى جبيني
فمن غير ربّي يرحمني؟
عذرا أيتها الدنيا
فأنتِ لست ما أبغي
لن أخضع و لن أُذَل
لن أكِل و لن أمِل
أعلم أنًّ ربّي يربيني
فهل هناك بعد ذلك...
شيئا يعييني؟
عذرا أيتها الدنيا

A Thought In a Photo (9): Happiness
In moments of stress and work and feeling extremely overloaded, Come some moments, a small gift from ALLAH to enlighten your life, to bring back your smile shining on your face again, to make your heart feel relief, happiness and satisfaction...
Those moments holding a message from ALLAH telling you that I'm here beside you... Talking to you and saying "إنَّ مع العسر يسرا", "إنّ الله مع الصابرين", "و لاتيأسوا من رحمة الله، فإنّه لا ييأس من رحمة الله إلا القوم الكافرين" and "إنّا لا نضيع أجر من أحسن عملا"
Those moments that holds the amazing message from ALLAH telling you "لا تحزن، إنّ الله معنا" and "و اصبر لحكم ربك فإنكَ بأعيننا"
It can be anything :) some moments of talking or watching a good movie with your family, seeing some people you were missing, calling a dear person, reading, doing something you love, helping someone and doing something good for others, watching the sunset, finding that little piece of paper or listening to that song that brings you good old memories...
Those moments are a treasure, a priceless valuable present that can't be neither bought or forgotten... Those are the moments that will be forever graved in your heart giving you a huge power and recharging your energy whenever you feel down...
For me, Those moments are simply the TRUE HAPPINESS :)

A Thought In a Photo (8): So, I decided to Smile!
Things are getting Crazy! They are just turned Upside down!
Problems seem to be chasing me in every single thing I do!
It has been a week now living in a huge stress of getting into a severe battles of discussion! and I mean it "BATTLES"!
I met a friend of mine, we sat for almost 2 hours and half talking about what's going on!
the funny thing is.... WE WERE LAUGHING :D
I went home and found my parents, They asked me "How did it go today?" I found myself smiling and I said: "I decided to SMILE" :)
In dark times, when everything seems to be in total darkness and chaos, Just know that the light will come if ONLY you allow it...
Light will only shine again, when you have that inner peace and assurance that ALLAH is always here by your side and that إنّ مع العسر يسرا and Take a notice that it is "مع" not "بعد"
So Smile... Laugh at problems... Face your challenges and take the most out of them... There are Hidden gift inside
Have that inner Peace... Have that Shiny Smile... and ONLY then, The world will be a better place for you and for others
And as the legendary Charlie Chaplin said:
"Life laughs at you when you are unhappy
Life smiles at you when you are happy
But Life Salutes you when you make others happy"

A Thought In a Photo (7): The goal
"Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal" ~ Vince Lombardi
In our life journey, on our road heading to our goal, Our dream and Our vision, we sometimes get tired, we get distracted, we lose our sight of our dream...
The road becomes dark and we begin to stumble in the dark... We may hit a rock of failure and disappointment in our way... We feel the pain, a deep pain, we may get hurt and bleed...
The Strong and wise person, is the one who learns to use his torch of hope and belief then to enlighten the way, uses his knowledge ride to get back on the road and hit the target :)
So Be wise, Be Strong :) Always have faith and belief that ALLAH is by your side to protect and empower you...
and Never EVER EVER take your eyes off your goal :)

A Thought In a Photo (6): بيّاع اللبن
تعرضت لمواقف كثيرة في حياتي جعلت من الصعب أن أثق بسهولة في الناس و أدخلهم إلى حياتي كما كنت أفعل
بنيت سورا عاليا ضخما حول قلبي... حول نفسي... حول مشاعري
وضعت عليه عقلي و ذكراياتي حارسا قويا شديدا يمنع أي أحد من الاقتراب
و لكن ما كنت أخشاه، حدث
و ها قد جاء بعض الأشخاص يطرقون الباب
فهل أفتح لهم؟
هل أُنحّي هذا الحارس جانبا و أسمح له بفتح باب قلبي مجددا؟
هل يا تُرى هم "بيّاع اللبن" الذي يأتي بالخير معه أم هم "الريح العاصفة" التي تُطيح بكل ما أمامها و تتركه مكسورا، ممزقا، مجروحا؟
لا أعلم!
و لكن في قرارة نفسي، أتمنّى من كل قلبي أن يكون ذلك الذي يطرق الباب هو
"بيّاع اللبن"

The days and memories are repeating themselves....
I'm afraid to have the same end....
I dunno What to do or how I am suppose to feel!
اللهم اهدني و أنر بصيرتي
اللهم ارني الحق حقا و ارزقني اتباعه و ارني الباطل باطلا و ارزقني اجتنابه و لا تجعلهما متشابهين عليّ فأضل
اللهم إني استخيرك بعلمك و استقدرك بقدرتك فأنت تعلم و أنا لا أعلم
اللهم لا تعلق قلبي بما ليس لي و اجعل لي فيما أحب نصيب

As Long as we live on this earth,
We'll be forever Put into Tests...
We'll be forever facing Challenges...
Don't think that's bad :)
They are BLESSING IN DISGUISE :)
ALLAH wants you to get that "A+" in Life and Win Al ferdaws al a3la ;)
So, When you face a problem or a challenge,
NEVER say "WHY ME?"
But Smile so wide and say....
"TRY ME" ;)

A Midnight Conversation
Here I am! Finally, Home Sweet Home after a long tiring day... I went to the balcony to get some fresh air and some time alone.
I found him there, Up there in the sky... Shining so bright... My dear and Inspiring friend "FULL MOON"
I looked at him and said: Hey there, moon... Hey there, shiny friend.
Moon: Hello there, little May...
Me: Oh, Moon! I missed you so much! I missed those times and moments I spend looking at you and talking to you..
Moon: are you Okay? - He asked with a smile-
Me: No, Moon! I'm not! and It's too complicated to explain...
Moon: Try me :)
Me: Oh, Moon! I'm feeling so bad! I'm so lost... so confused... I dunno what to do! Everything seems just to be upside down... Everything is in huge chaos and I'm loosing control...
and, I dunno, Should I give it another shot and open my heart and mind again or should I leave it just the way it is?! Should I destroy those fences and walls I've built or enforce them?!!
I dunno... I can feel my heart in deep pain and It Hurts so much! It hurts as it's been squeezed so hard till it bled...
I feel lost... Things are so cloudy... Nothing is anymore clear...
and My Mind, This became a bomb that will explode in any second...
I'm tired... really tired...
Moon: May, Look at me..
Me: I can't see you! Where are you?!
Moon: I'm right here behind those clouds.
I looked back again and I found clouds with some lightened borders that were obscuring the moon...
Moon: "My friend, Problems in Life are just like those clouds... They may come to your life and make things look dark... They may come to your life and make things grey and unclear.. They may obscure your light, They may make your smile & spirit fade away for a while... But at the end, They Pass..."
"Life isn't easy! If you didn't see the darkness, you wouldn't be appreciating light... If you didn't experience some moments of sorrow, pain and confusion, You wouldn't be appreciating the happiness moments you live and the blessings ALLAH gave you..." - He stated -
"Another thing, aren't clouds Useful?!"
Me: Yes, Of Course!
Moon: "Same as Problems! :) Just like clouds give you the rain that water the plants and revive the earth... The Problems REVIVE you... They bring the best out of you and water you with new lessons and experience"
"My dear friend, Follow your heart, he knows the way... Follow that voice inside, it's your wisdom light... Go to your heart, ask him... tell him what to do... tell him what to say... He may answer or enlighten you the way... Remember your dreams, They are your Power generator... And NEVER give up, because quitters never win and Winners never quit... and you, my friend, are a WINNER" - He finished with a smile -
Me: Oh, Moon! I missed your wisdom... missed your words that always inspire me... I miss you so much when you go away...
Moon: My little friend, Whenever you hear the wind blowing... Whenever you see the stars... Wherever you'll go, I'll be there beside you...
Me: Thank you, Moon... You made my day :)
Moon: You are welcome and always remember "YOU ARE A WINNER"... Good night.
I looked at the moon and smiled so wide, he smiled back at me... I wished good night and off to bed feeling relief and full of belief that everything is gonna go just fine :)

A History... A Night to Remember!
13 - 6 - 2011, 12:50 am
I have an exam tomorrow. It's my last Exam in our College :)
Oh God! 5 years have gone by!
I still remember the 1st day I entered the college, Actually I remember from the day I got the "Tansi2" paper saying I got accepted in Faculty of Engineering Ain Shams University with 2 of my friends.
My happiness was indescribable... I stayed so many days, thinking and preparing for my first day and for my studying years in college.
I was so excited!
I remember the 1st day I went to college. It was before we start. I went with my friends and my dad to just look around. and I remember where I sat in the garden...
I remember my lectures, my 1st Math lecture, where I was feeling so lost as I was studying in french during school and now am studying in English, It was Dr. Abdel Qawy and he kept telling us jokes about us and engineering.
I remember the Chemistry lecture with Dr Amr Othman, I never sat on the bench :D but I enjoyed every second of this lecture. And The chemistry lab, was one of my favorites ever...
I remember when I got the 1st result ever in college "natiget e3dady" :) How I felt then & what I did.
I remember my confusion between Mechanical and Electrical department and that lecture about the new programs for us to join as it was its 1st year. I just went to my dad asking for his opinion and he just told me "It's Your Decision" and finally, I got to Mechanical.
I remember the Material lecture and how it went so fast because we were enjoying it to the max.
I remember the Math lecture with Fourier series and Laplace Transform and how we were sitting in the lecture hall trying to understand what's going on :D
I remember Eng. Barkouky revision that lasts till 10:30 pm in college and How got to my home this day at 12 am :D
I remember the math exam, and how it was solved in the last hour after 2 hours of stupid solving :D (dah farag rabena w karamo) :)
Then of to 2nd year...
It was Hell of a challenge! :D Thermo, Fluid, Heat Transfer, Design.... etc :D but we did it at the end :)
Few months later, here we are.... Third year Mechatronics...
I remember the 1st term when we were feeling that we shifted to Electrical department :D
The electronics with Dr Adel El Henawy, C Programming with Dr Shaalan, Logic with Dr Mona....
The design with Dr Wagdy...
Oh, What memories! :)
Finally here we are.... It's Our 4th and Final year :)
That amazing year where you feel that you are about to be an Engineer... You choose your graduation project and your team with who you'll be working for one complete year...
and faster than you could imagine, here comes the funday preparations :) and You have the most wonderful day with your friends.
Then come the final exams... The last station in Our college journey!
Not just that :) because in college, you just don't create studying memories... but You learn in every aspect of your life...
I remember the activities and situations I went through.... I remember the people I've known.... People you feel blessed to know...
In college, you create HISTORY! :)
And here I am, writing in the last night for me in College.... I'm gonna miss those days... I'm gonna miss this place... Every inch in it holds a memory... A memory that will be graved in my heart for eternity! :)
Faculty of Engineering - Ain Shams University, Mechatronics Departement... A History in a place that will forever hold a special place in my heart...

A Childhood Memory
It was 6 pm at the afternoon, I was supposed to head to the street as I had a lesson to attend. I went down and got to our building door.
At the moment I opened it, I got that gentle wind blowing gently into my face... I Closed my eyes and just took a moment to enjoy it.
Oh, I remember that smell! I remember that fresh air specially at that time of the day!
It Brings me Childhood memories...
I remember, when I was a little girl, I used to go down every day at this exact hour in the summer to play with my bike with my neighbors and the door keeper sat down the same as he is doing now...
We were a good bunch of kids back then...
We were having a lot of fun... Playing, laughing so loud, racing with our bikes, drinking some Pepsi in the hot weather and the end of the night, we say Good Night to each other, waiting desperately for the next day to come so we can meet again... We were full of Energy, full of Enthusiasm, full of Joy... We were full of Spirit :)
Now, years have gone by, everyone of us went on his own way...
The fact is, we barely know each other now... It makes me so sad but what can we do?! It's Life! It simply goes on...
Yes, It goes on! But it goes on leaving you that amazing memory to remember... That memory that will forever be graved in your heart making you smile every time it comes across your mind...
The moment that passes in our life never comes back... That's why we should Enjoy every single moment in it. We should make each and every day memorable and remarkable & that's not so hard to do :)
Simple things you do can make you happy, can make others happy... They can make memories that you'll gladly remember and be remembered by...
So Do it Today! :) Start from that moment you finish reading those words :) Take the decision to Enjoy your life and to make some everlasting memories... And as they say "It's all about the journey and the memories you make" :)

Exam Thought... "The Freshness of Life"
Sitting in the exam so tired, bored and feeling extremely hot. I left down my pen and decided to take a break for 5 minutes to relief my hands and back.
I looked up to the ceiling and find myself starring at the spinning fan above my head...
And i just had this thought.. it's EXACTLY like Life!
Life is just like the spinning fan, it starts at that moment you press that "ON" button and ends at the one you press that "OFF" button. Meanwhile, It goes FAST... Spinning around and around.
If you stayed focused with each of its tiny details closely, you'll get dizzy, you'll get an extremely bad headache from the huge amount of info going into your mind and if you get much closer, you actually might get hurt and you'll forget to enjoy the air and that amazing feeling of freshness it gives you.
So be open minded... Forget and skip those little tiny details in your life that may keep your mind crowded and exhausted of thinking for NOTHING and after all making you feel terribly bad.
All we have to do is to look at the big view, Look at our whole lives because actually if we focused on the past or on the things that we don't have, we are missing a lot! we are missing to realize that we are truly blessed! & If we give it just a moment, we'll find out that the blessings that ALLAH gave us in our lives are endless..
So let go! and just enjoy the feeling of fresh air coming from your fan and just enjoy... The Freshness of LIFE :)

نور القلوب: أفلا يتدبّرون القرآن؟ :)
كنت جالسة أستمع إلي سورة محمد و أنا أذاكر...
قرأ الشيخ هذة الآية "أفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا" فرنّت في أذني و توقفت للحظات... أحسست بقشعريرة قوية تسري في جسدي...
كنت أستعجب هؤلاء الناس الذي أراهم يقرآون القرآن أو يسمعونه فيبكون بشدة، يبكون و كأن قلوبهم هي التي تبكي... و كنت أتسائل دوما ما السر؟
و في يوم من الأيام، كنت أتحدث أنا و بعض صديقاتي، فقالت لي إحداهن: "أحب كل صباح أن أفتح مصحفي على صفحة عشوائيا و أقرا الآية التي تقع عليها عيناي... و تلك هي رسالة ربّي إليًّ في هذا اليوم"
أثارت انتباهي تلك الجملة، و قررت ذلك اليوم أنّي سأقرأ القرآن بشكل مختلف..
قررت أنّي ساقرأ القرآن لأتعلّم... سوف أبحث عن الرسالة التي يقولها لي الله في الآيات و أكتب تلك الرسالات في مذكرتي الخاصة.
و بدأت...
يا الله!!!! وجدت نفسي أبكي... أبكي بحرقة... يا لجمال هذا القرآن! يا لعظمتك يا الله! كم أنا جاحدة و مقصرة!
أحسست معاني القرآن تسري في كياني... أحسست بحلاوة و عذوبة تلك الكلمات تخترق قلبي... أشعر بالحنين و الشوق حين أسمع آيات وصف الجنة، أشعر بالرهبة حين أسمع آيات وصف القيامة، أشعر بالرعب و الفزع حين أسمع آيات العذاب و النار و أخيرا أشعر بالخشوع و العظمة حين أسمع الآيات التي تذكر عظمة ربّي.
فسبحان من قال "ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب" :)
يطمئن قلبك و يامن لأنك تعلم أنّك لست وحيدا، تعلم انّك لست ضعيفا و ربك بجانبك، تعلم أنّ سبل الحق كثيرة و سبل الخير وفيرة و كيف أنّ ربّك كريم أكثر مما يمكنك ان تتخيل.
يا الله! يا لتلك النعمة! و كم نحن غافلون عن تلك النعمة و الرحمة التي بين أيدينا!
فاللهم إنّك قلت "و لقد يسرّنا القرآن للذكر" فاعنّا على حفظ القرآن و فهمه.. اللهم اجعله ربيع قلوبنا و جلاء همّنا و نهج حياتنا... اللهم اجعله شفيعا لنا يوم القيامة و اعف عنّا و اغفر لنا و ارحمنا و اهدنا الصراط المستقيم يا أرحم الراحمين
قرأ الشيخ هذة الآية "أفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا" فرنّت في أذني و توقفت للحظات... أحسست بقشعريرة قوية تسري في جسدي...
كنت أستعجب هؤلاء الناس الذي أراهم يقرآون القرآن أو يسمعونه فيبكون بشدة، يبكون و كأن قلوبهم هي التي تبكي... و كنت أتسائل دوما ما السر؟

خاطرة من القلب: أحلُم..
جلست أحد الأيام التي كان فيها القمر بدرا أشاهده... أعشق تلك اللحظات... أحس بأنّي في عالم آخر... أهرب من هذة الدنيا بما تحمله من مشاكل و هموم و مسئوليات و تعب و أنفرد بلحظات من الراحة و السعادة التي أجلس فيها مع نفسي أفكر.
سرحت ذلك اليوم و ذهبت بخيالي إلى شاطئ البحر... ذلك النسيم العليل الذي تحسّه يلمس وجهك في رقة، و صوت تلك الأمواج تأتي من بعيد تعانق تلك الصخور... ذلك الجو الليلي الرائع الذي يأخذك بعيدا فوق السحاب
سرحت ذلك اليوم في حلمي البسيط بالشخص الذي سيشاركني هذة اللحظات و تسائلت، هل يا تُرى سأجده يوما؟!
هذا الشخص الذي تحبه و يحبك، ذلك الشخص الذي تسكن إليه، يحتضنك و يستمع إليك
هذا الشخص الذي تحمل اسمه في قلبك و عقلك و تلبس ذلك الخاتم في يدك حاملا له كل الوفاء و الولاء و الإخلاص و الحب طوال العمر
هذا الشخص الذي يشاركك أحلامك، يؤمن بك، يساعدك في الوصول، يساعدك و يشد من أزرك
هذا الشخص الذي، عندما ترى شيئا جميلا، هو أول من يقفز اسمه إلى ذهنك و ترى صورته أمام عينيك... ينبض قلبك و تزيد سرعته، تتمنّى لو أنه معك الآن يشاركك هذة اللحظة
هذا الشخص الذي تحلم بقضاء عمرك معه و تعيشان حياة سعيدة في معيّة الله آملين رضاه و مغفرته و أن يجمعكما في الفردوس الأعلى مع حبيبه أفضل الخلق
هذا الشخص الذي يعينك على الحق، يرشدك إذا تهت، ينبّهك للأخطاء و يكن صحبتك الصالحة
سرحت كثيرا...
أحلم بذلك اليوم الذي يأتي فيه هذا الشخص
أحلم بهذا اليوم الذي نتعاهد فيه على أن نبني أسرتنا لتكون خلية صالحة لأمتنا
أحلم ذلك الشخص الذي سأحمل في إصبعي الخاتم الذي يحمل اسمه و اسلّمه قلبي و عقلي أمانة
أحلم بأولادنا أحملهم بين ذراعيّ و أحتضنهم و أغني لهم و ألعب معهم و أعلّمهم
أحلم بذلك اليوم الذي نرى فيه أولادنا يتخرّجون بتفوق
أحلم بذلك اليوم الذي نرى فيه أبنائنا رجال و نساء نافعين لأمتهم
و أخيرا، أحلم بذلك اليوم الذي يجمعنا جميعا بأفضل العالمين محمد عليه أفضل الصلاة و السلام في الفردوس الأعلى
فاللهم ارزقنا الصحبة الصالحة و الذرية الصالحة و بارك لنا فيهم و اغفر لنا و ارحمنا و اهدنا يا أرحم الراحمين

Courage
In our lives, we get through a lot... We experience a lot of feelings... Joy, Happiness, Love, Success, Anger, Fear...
The fear of Unknown, The Fear of Change, The fear when facing a sad situation, The fear of getting hurt and feel the pain...
We you get hurt, When you face an unpleasant unexpected thing, You think you are weak and That You don't have the courage to do anything.
You keep saying to yourself "No, I can't! I'm not gonna be able to do that! Why Do I even Care?!"
You lose your self confidence, you lose your self esteem, You just want to be left alone in a room without contacting anybody...
But what we forget is...
It's Okay To be afraid!
It's Okay to feel worried!
It's Okay to feel the pain and Cry!
We are Humans...
The point is, HOW are you reacting toward such feelings? Are you gonna just lay down and say "I GIVE UP"?! Or Are you gonna GET UP THERE having faith in ALLAH and yourself that Someday Somehow I'll get it right?!
The Choice is Yours...
I had Once that experience, It was so painful. I felt so many disappointment, hurt and pain deep inside my heart... I lost my courage, I lost my confidence... For sometime, I lost WHO I AM.
But I decided NOT to let go! It's an opportunity for me to learn ! ALLAH is raising me, Will I let this chance go?!
It's TRUE that it has been a painful one YET taught me a lot. And I can tell you that It has been the most FRUITFUL Year of my life.
My friend,
Courage is NEVER the absence of fear, It's the PRESENCE of fear yet to keep moving forward
One of my favorite quotes says:
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game because ANYTHING is possible if you just BELIEVE"
So, Play the game... Keep going on.... Believe you can... and NEVER be afraid of making mistakes... it's what makes EXPERIENCE =)

Your Smile =)
Your Smile is your guardian
Through darkness, will always show you the way
Your Smile is the light to your heart
Your Smile is the light to your heart
Every night and day
Your Smile is a way to Jannah
Your Smile is a way to Jannah
As Our Mohammed always says
Your Smile keeps you Close to Allah
reliefs the heart and makes your soul always pray
A final word to you, dears
Your Smile is priceless
Don't let it go away
Your Smile is a precious treasure
Your Smile is a precious treasure
Don't let anyone or anything steal it away
Your laughter is an instant vacation
Always take this Chance
Never blow it away
خليك دايما فاكر
ربك على الظلم قادر
و لو ماكنش بيحب البلد ديه
كان سابها للظالم و الغادر
ف يوم من الأيام، الشمس هتشقشق
و العصفور في سما الحرية و العدل يزقزق
و الخير يدق على بابك
و الابتسامة على وشك تنور
تحيي فيك الأمل و تريح بالك
و اليوم مش بعيد
آذان الفجز آذن
و الفرج جي قريب
و اوعي تفقد الثقة بالله
و خلّي عزيمتك حديد
ربك كريم
منّان حليم
و دايما خليك فاكر
إن مع العسر يسرا
إن مع العسر يسرا
On My Way
Am going on my way
Nobody stands still
you have to take it away
Am going on my way
on this journey
that leads to my dreams someday
Am going on my way
holding in my heart
The faith, the hope
the power ray
I'll keep going on
I'll keep fighting
I'll keep trying
I'll keep smiling
I'll keep shining on
Till one day
somehow someway
I'll come to the end of this road
and see all shades fading away
and my dreams are here
just over there.
I'll always be believing
cause in my heart,
it's where they stay
