Wher Has the Old MERCY Gone ??

In the name of Allah the most beneficent, the most MERCIFUL. Peace and blessings be upon his last prophet al Mustafa, the MERCY to the world.

In the month of MERCY, im wondering where has the old mercy gone? why are we becoming so harsh on each other? why don't we smile to each other anymore? reflect with me on the coming situations that happens to all of us and ask yourself where has the old mercy gone?

I actually wrote this because I believe that we should be soft when we deal with our brothers and sisters so I wrote it on the personal level between people, on the community level and on the ummah level the last two will be posted soon inshallah.

A man is just entering the gas station with his luxurious car, air condition is on, enjoying the way back from the North Coast or his Club, he opens his car window, he tells the poor guy standing there in this hot weather "Fill it" (he is not even looking at him, he does not even say Salamu Alekom), he pays him, he leaves him one pound! and he moves on as if you are dealing with a machine not a human being who has feeling, family, and a SOUL. He believes that this one pound is compensation for the greeting of Islam and for the smile! Moreover, what can this one pound buy? the smile is what makes a difference not the one pound.

Another one is driving through the streets of New Cairo, Sixth of October, or wherever there is no means of transportation, same thing air condition is on, feeling nothing about the freaky hot weather outside his car, and a soldier or someone is there asking for a ride till the end of the street or to the nearest point where he can find any kind of transportation, but he does not stop to pick him! isn't it a good way to thank Allah for blessing us with this car.

One other situation that makes me really feel bad, after each time i eat with anyone at a good big restaurant, and we pay too much money there, while im heading to the next place I'm going to i keep thinking what i have just paid can feed at least 15 people at Masr el Kadima through the Rahman Delivery we do at the HELP CLUB.

On day I saw a sister holding her baby crossing the road in Nasr City and no is slowing down to let her pass !!! subhan allah !! where has the old mercy gone ?? i was furious this day n I was thinking if everyone really consider this sister as his real sister would he stop ! yes he would ?? and that why we are call each other brother and sister ? yes we are brother and sister, and the brotherhood in Islam is much much stronger that anything else. Remember on the day of judgment all friends are gonna be enemies except for al Motaqeen, and anyone will be willing to give up his closest people to escape from the Hell Fire.

im just wondering is our ummah is the khaer ummah are we the followers of the merciful prophet, the prophet whose wives did not cook at his house for months, are not we the ones Allah swt has asked to be merciful. what's going on people! why are we becoming so harsh?

This khatera is inspired by my brother Idris Tawfiq (A convert to islam).

Sometimes !

sometimes we cannot reach our dreams cuz it depends on someone else, or cuz the dream is just someone else you love, n care about ,sometimes others are not up to it, sometimes they don deserve to share a dream, sometimes others are not even up to it, im not being irresponsible or any other thing, but we will have to move on, find another dream to live, another one to love, i don know why do we trust or believe in people who cannot even stand for a small easy challenge and be strong, i though cuz of my real world early experience with ppl n work n activities ill be able to trust right ppl, but we still getting more mature n more.


sometimes we just make someone as a dream to live - which is great if ur really this person's dream - but if ur just someone else to him or an option do make this one ur dream cuz u will be centered around this person which will end up being dependent on this person feelings and conditions. but we should be centered around allah n do everything for his sake.

طال الطريق و بالطريق حكاية

بدأت بفرحي.. و انتهت.. بسهادي!.

تذوب الأماني ويبقى السؤال ..

لماذا أتيت إذا كان حلمي

غداً سوف يصبح .. بعض الرمال ..؟!

nywys trust ppl who deserve the trust, who got the courage to explain why ,or who can even say Goodbye.

وأتيتَ تسأل ياحبيبي عن هوايا

هل مايزال يعيش في قلبي ويسكن في الحنايا؟

هل ظل يكبر بين أعماقي ويسري..في دمايا؟

الحبُ ياعمري..تمزقه الخطايا

قد كنتَ يوماً حب عمري قبل ان تهوى..سوايا

***

أيامُك الخضراء ذاب ربيعُها

وتساقطت أزهاره في خاطري..

يامن غرسَت الحب بين جوانحي ..

وملكت قلبي واحتويت مشاعري

للملمت بالنسيان جرحي ..بعدما

ضيعت أيامي بحلم عابر..

*****

لو كنت تسمع صوت حبك في دمي

قد كان مثل النبض في أعماقي

كم غارت الخفقاتُ من همساته..

كم عانقته مع المنى أشواقي

***

قلبي تعلم كيف يجفو ..من جفاني

وسلكت درب البعد ..والنسيانِ

قد كان حبك في فؤادي روضة

ملأت حياتي بهجة ..وأغاني

وأتى الخريف فمات كل رحيقها

وغداالربيع..ممزقَ الأغصان

***

مازال في قلبي رحيقُ لقائنا

من ذاق طعمَ الحب..لا ينساه..

ماعاد يحملني حنيني للهوى

لكنني أحيا..على ذكراهُ

قلبي يعود إلي الطريق ولا يرى

في العمر شيئاً..غيرطيف صبانا

أيام كان الدربُ مثل قلوبنا..

نمضى عليه..فلا يملُ خطان

we 3agbi 3leeki !

On what Amr Adeeb said about our national team.

Salamu alykom all :)

we all know about what mr.amr adeeb may allah forgive him has said about the players of our national team and frankly what he said reminded me of some situation in the Sera that i want to share with you all , so here is my Khatera about what happened,,,

im not that much into football, and i did not even watch the last four matches at all. what i saw were the goals on youtube. im not fan of football players or football teams or anything of this kind. but i really respect the current generation of football players in Egypt turning a blind eye to their level, they are really good and doing their best.

we ve all seen what Mohamed Abu trika did for Gaza, listened to osama Hosny reciting koran and enjoyed his beatufil voice MSA, saw them Sajdeen for Allah SWT after each and every goal the score. and when they were playing in last African cup they donated a lot of money ot masjeds there and more you can check about that yourself.

When allah SWT dislike someone he makes this person go away from his straight path. "But to those who receive Guidance, He increases the (light of) Guidance, and bestows on them their Piety and Restraint (from evil)". والذين اهتدوا زادهم هدى وآتاهم تقواهم

one more thing that the Sera of the prophet peace and blessing upon him is there to teach us is the following

the Muslim community is not the kind of community that this kind of rumors should spread in it and allah swt has warned us directly saying to us
" Those who love (to see) scandal published broadcast among the Believers, will have a grievous Penalty in this life and in the Hereafter: Allah knows, and ye know not." surat el nour {إن الذين يحبون أن تشيع الفاحشة في الذين آمنوا لهم عذاب أليم في الدنيا والآخرة والله يعلم وأنتم لا تعلمون} [النور: 19]. ...
allahu swt does not accept this in our muslim community the community that allah swt described as the best ummah


im not saying we are pure, no but we all do sins that could take us to hellfire, one of the sahaba kissed a woman and did everything with her except for adultery in the time of the prophet and he felt so bad about what he did so he went to Abu bakren al sadeq radi allahu a'naho tellin him about what he did so he told him ask allah for forgiveness and same did umar al faroq when he told him but the other sahbi was still feeling bad so he went to the mercy for man kind Mohammad PBUH so he PBUH looked the other way and did not talk to him till allah SWT send gabril to him with the verse
"And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day and at the approaches of the night: For those things, that are good remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord)" Hud

and here is link to the story of this sahabi
http://www.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?flag=1&bk_no=51&ID=750

i mean we are the community of rahma and love and helping siners to come back to the right way not pushing them away, assuming they are so but im pretty sure they are not isa and lets wait and see , as it shows not only our team the Brazilian national team also was stolen.
n here is a link to vidos of amr adeeb may allah forgive him
http://www.yallakora.com/arabic/news/details.aspx?id=85800&Catid=1&region

may allah bless the team of sajdeen and all the sajdeen around the world.

Should I be afraid to Stand Alone ???

Should I be afraid to Stand Alone ???

i was never afraid from anything in my life seriously i was never afraid...every time a face a challenge or a real threat i smile n think about the worst case scenario that could ever happen saying while thinking about La kader Allah , God forbid , n then think of the best scenario n say allah has said "أنا عند ظن عبدي بي" so i say to myself yes Ahmed rabbena by7bak n he is gonna give you the best n i jst remember that day rassul allah was talking to Abduallah Ibn Masa'oud telling him :

"Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."

even death that many people are afraid of.. i was like we are all gonna die at the end so what s wrong with it n i say to myself if u die your gonna meet those who u really love ISA you are gonna be with the most beloved person Mohammd PBUH and you will ride horses with Khalid Ibn El Waled waled and Hazma ISA instead of Moaz Malek:) n i will listen to Koran from Abduallah Ibn Masa'oud ISA not sheikh reda in Belal masjid in my neighbourhood...so i used to welcome the thing people are afraid of. this how i used to live my life.i see everyday as another question in the short test of life and every second is part of the solution n there is partial credit n the right answer is multiplied 10 times n the wrong one will be erased (not like dr.ayman el 3ezaby exams ).i believe that life is a prison that i ve to stay in till the date the creator of the universe has written. on that day i die and my soul goes up there to the merciful creator n then im free ISA....n till that days comes ive to do my best to make the donya a better place n be one of the those who spread the words of god n follow them, n make all the ppl around my smile.

Till one day came one day that i was really afraid to die i was really afraid to leave the donya mesh 7oban feha cuz its really beautiful meanwhile it really sucks..its keda its helwa not cuz nancy agram said el donya 7elwa but cuz rassule allah pbuh said


((إنَّ الدُّنيا حلوةٌ خَضِرة، وإنَّ الله مُستخلفكم فيها، فينظر كيف تعملُون؟ فاتقوا الدُّنيا، واتَّقُوا النِّساء؛ فإنَّ أوَّل فِتنة بني إسرائيل كانت في النِّساء)) [رواهُ مُسلم].

and he also said
(حبب إلي من دنياكم النساء والطيب وجعلت قرة عيني في الصلاة)

so its good n its really a prison cuz he said

الدنيا سجن المؤمن وجنة الكافر)

im now afraid but im not afraid ( di 7ala sa3ba awi) im afraid to die b4 i do something that really counts although i know will pass to jana by his mercy ISA not by our deeds bas aho this is what happened something changed in my life there are some things that i really wanna do b4 i die n some of them i need them in Jana too ISA....

إنما الدنيا سبيل وعناء وامتحان ربي فاكتب لي حياة فيها للبذل كيان

meanwhile im not afraid cuz i know Allah is standing by my side taking care of me he created me n he knows every step that i take he knows everything.........the one who gets the sun every morning n controls the whole universe is for sure able to control my life n he is n is able to give me the best out everything if it really fits in my life ISA....so no i am not afraid to Stand Alone.
