Spells & Potions For Life

  Reading about the shameful and treacherous news about Zionists signing a free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates, which is according to news sources a huge trade accord with an Arab state and a move aimed at boosting trade between” two Middle eastern nations “. The ignorance and lack of knowledge is already appalling,  when the world doesn’t know the difference between a country and an illegal state, when they confuse the difference between a nation and an illegal occupation. When did  Europeans and Americans and Australians etc became middle easterners? That’s a huge question, and this question is ignored since 1948 , the day this illegal state was imposed on the semetic Palestinians, it was created after the indigenous people were thrown out of their homes ,the  illegal zionist state of Israel destroyed from 500 to 600 Palestinian villages  & expelled more than 750,000 Palestinians from the newly-established illegal state in order to...

  There is a category of humans who after committing a sin consider it an opening towards rebellion ,and continue walking towards darkness, they tell themselves that they’re sinners now and there’s  no acceptance of their repentance anymore . Whilst there are others who knows and accept their weaknesses and their sins , and find solace in prayers and seek forgiveness.They try harder to perform acts of kindness and compassion which they think might help their soul aswell. Whereas, there is a completely different category,  they are the ones who drains others energies,  they think that the creator of heaven and earth have left his chair of authority for them to take over , they gave rulings  and verdicts to others, we all have those around us who tell others, “you’re a sinner , you’re going to hell”or  “she/he is going to trials because she/he is a sinner” etc,  they feel so confident in their ignorance that they mislead others aswell. A scholar Mufti Me...

  Balenciaga’s new collection is like walking into the dark world or the world is preparing for armageddon, its not just the latex masks but the clothes and the theme that can make one imagine perhaps we are moving towards end of the times and Balenciaga is providing us the clothes for the occasion.  P.J. O’Rourke said ,”Never wear anything that panics the cat”.This Balenciaga’s latest show is certainly designed to panic every fashion lover. The dark world and its horrors and mysterious rags might attracts the eldritch loving audience but for the elegant ones with class ,such  tasteless collection  is a horror.From  Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Baker  to Balenciaga , we are moving to the fashion world of vampires and becoming characters of Adam’s family.

  Our hearts and souls gets burdened by the worries and fears of this worldly life .So much so that the Prophets with strongest their faiths , when they went through trails and tribulations, after the loss of their loved ones,   suffering and triumph , they also felt fear ,pain,suffering, sadnesses, emptiness.There are days in our lives when it’s hard to move on, seems like the  dark night will never end  ,the pain will never go away and we’ll be  buried under this hopelessness forever. We all have  moments of panic attacks and anxiety , some of us feels the pressure on our chest and the eyes are brimmed with tears. Some choose silence and want to sit alone with their sorrows. All of these states of human feelings are acknowledged by the Quran, where life of Prophets are shared as an example for us , to show us that even the most pious souls were tested by the creator of heavens and earth. Going through these emotions is what makes us human.No living s...

  As a believer and trying each day to practice my faith , I will say this with a heavy heart and a disappointed sigh that the muslim world is not devoid of racism and hatred , xenophobia is spread like wildlife on lands where they took refugees. We might preach others , claim to be the custodian of high values or recite verses of Quran, proving our religious-ness, and quoting sayings of the Prophet PBUH,  but  the amount of hatred, prejudice, materialism that has crawled inside of us  through conspicuous nationalism and the idea of identification based on our cultures and the colours of our skin is appalling.Actions speaks louder than words. One can deny as much they want , but we are not the saints as we claim to be. One can hear the so called muslims swearing on the highest name of the creator of heaven and earth, and lying and spewing hatred right away with the same mouth.Unfortunately worldly desires,success and materialism is the only God left for many.Furtherm...

  Long time ago, I read on a picture message shared on social media by a friend from Africa saying ” In Africa,  our elderly are not kept in nursing homes, they stay at home and teach their grandchildren the way of life”. So today when I read this news about Japanese made Cannes film “Plan 75” , sharing the idea of anybody over 75 being encouraged to sign up for a deal with the government by which they receive a sum of money in return for agreeing to be euthanised , and the funeral will cost nothing. Its jaw dropping and heartbreaking to imagine. Even the thought , nonetheless this materialistic idea presented and debated in a movie. What’s  the sign of a selfish society ? It is when we begin to think of other humans as useless and a waste, we see them as a burden, or we make them see their selves a liability.These modern housing structures are already designed to suffocate  the idea of a large family , reducing the living space means ,they’re telling us to redu...

  The biggest  challenge for humans  is not to refrain from committing sins ,Ofcourse one must avoid as much a soul can ,but one must keep in their mind that making mistakes is part of our design , the creator of heaven and earth knows that .He has stated our weaknesses clearly to us , in the holy book of Quran, in chapter of Nisa he said , “Man is created weak” , He knows we have desires and needs that each one of us struggle immensely to control. And many amongst us will lose that control, we’ll lose our way , sway away from our path. From our forgetfulness, to greed , from our hastiness to negligence , everything is part of our human nature. We surrender to our Carnel desires ,we mislead our souls. He told us our battles, Ofcourse he is our creator, he knows his creation.He knows that man is very sensitive. We are unable to tolerate neither extreme heat nor extreme cold. It’s impossible for us to cope with neither hunger nor thirst. Even an unseen diseas...

  Today’s post won’t be long perhaps, just a heartbreaking rant and rave. The heartlessness and selfishness of humans is appalling. Whilst searching came across this post on Facebook,  shared by an account from Turkey , showing clicks of two boys having a brawl in the middle of the busy street . The account wrote that those Afghan lads are fighting over bread…. This reminded me a scene from a movie “Noah” , in which they tried to depict the unjust and brutal situation of those times , where people fighting over food in the streets. Seeing these pictures and reading the caption felt like a jolt ,especially when you are well aware of the hidden connotations,  the rising hatred , xenophobia and biasness that’s penetrating like a disease in our societies. A normal society with a heart , would rather choose to stop that scuffle , but since we are living in an age where becoming a social media sensation or news of the day for the paper is of more importance, we simply click pic...

  “Imma be honest You da baddest What’s saddest Is you know all your angles But you stuck in this tangle Where you don’t think your able To be more than what you are right now But baby Nothing is impossible It really could be you and me One day But not today And I can live with that I can watch from a far I’ll hold my feelings Til I have you believing In yourself And your rare beauty I know you don’t need no help But that ain’t Gon stop me From the gutter And the trenches But girl I’ll still be the prince to your princess. Me and you The richest We Gon kill it Every red carpet Every gala It’s gonna Be us Us You and I” Aliyah Marie  with her expressive & exploring spirit ,is trying to give her  soul  a voice through music ,she writes music when she’s in a mood, her own amazing way of processing her feelings.

  I was walking in the Kaba ,the house of Allah,where billions & trillions of believers desperately wants to pray atleast once in their life.Wearing my headscarf in a style that my neck was slightly exposed,although wrapped in my Iranian Chador , a huge piece of cloth, I was looking for a place to sit down and wait for the prayer call. Unexpectedly a Saudi guy came towards me and asked me to cover my neck ,and said its showing.My abrupt response was “why you looked at my neck?”. Because the first order is to lower down their gaze ,it’s not a burden of others or specifically women to wrap themselves in a quilt the whole time. Yes ,guard your chastity, refrain from exposing your aura and attract unwanted attention, but we are also given the freedom of choice, the way we choose to dress.During the time of Prophet when one of his companion complained about a women passing by wearing sheer clothes, the Prophet responded by,why you were looking at her ? He did not asked to stone...

  “All I can say is I’m sorry Put all the blame on me I ruined us Cuz I got too caught up Overthinking us Not ready for love Too scared to trust A lovesick lovebug Is all I am Please take my hand A sensitive fool For you, You And now there ain’t no going back Everything is in the past You lie on my name But I’m the one to blame It’s truly a shame How there ain’t no way to relieve the pain And there ain’t no way to forget the things You said to me The way you made me feel It was all so real” Aliyah Marie  with her expressive & exploring spirit ,is trying to give her  soul  a voice through music ,she writes music when she’s in a mood, her own amazing way of processing her feelings.

  We are all always looking for reasons to live , to wake up in the morning , to continue to live each day.Without a purpose life is like a gigantic mountain that makes us feel exhausted and we lose all the energy to live it in a blink. Purposeless, useless,meaningless… Some humans believe that we are born to worship, to constantly pray and be righteous and be perfect.But lets stop for a moment, the creator says that to worship me I have an army of angles , who never raise their heads , always bowing infront of me , they’re designed to devotedly glorify me, in Quran, he says  “They, (angels) disobey not, the Commands they receive from God, but do that which they are commanded” (Quran 66:6). Now comes perfection ! He created his Prophets for that , who were in human bodies , just like us , they lived on this earth , went through similar trials, as many of us are going through, infact they are an example for us ,a  guidance  , their lives are a roadmap for us,guiding u...

  “I don’t know what you want All you do is taunt Me Me, I can’t get you outta my head Why do I still want you When you left me for dead After you said You loved Me Me, And I believed you I trusted you Everything I feared Reared It’s ugly head I’m seeing red Cuz you ain’t mine Girl please Just give me your time You’ll be just fine I’ll take your heart and put it with mine” Aliyah Marie  with her expressive & exploring soul ,is trying to give herself a voice through music ,she writes music mood , her amazing way of processing her own feelings. An inspiration indeed. 

  There are a huge number of people in every corner of the world who are addicted to coffee, from opening their eyes and crawling out of bed for a hot cuppa to drinking this beverage whole day till they hit the sack again .The legend has it that the magical beans were discovered by the Sufi mystics in  the vibrant and warm land of Yemen. A l-Mukha  or Mocha and المُخا in Arabic  , is a port city on the  Red Sea  coast of  Yemen  , it is considered the house of coffee,  the name Mokha which later got fame as Mocha aswell is named after this historically rich city of Yemen.Today there are many who claim the monopoly on this dark brew , but it is said that it was the Yemenies or land of Yemen who introduced coffee beans to the world, when the magical beans left the shores of Yemen, the Ottomans taught the Europeans how to make and drink coffee and later when their colonialism started to spread,  so does their interest in the magical beans ,...

  The on going  trial of Amber Heard and Jhonny Deep  is driving immense amount of attention,from the fact that they are celebrities to the divulgence of shocking revelations that are being made public through the media coverage of their trail .There’s no debate about Amber Heard’s manipulative mind games and plotting , her actions during their married relationship are shocking without any doubt.But we are ignoring something of great importance here. The most significant question is why Miss Heard reached to the point of turning herself into an unstable maniac, plotting and hatching harmful dramas? What brings a women to such madness? Especially those women who have always been a stable and logical women.Aside from Amber Heard ,about whom one might say she has the air of a mad as March hare, there are many strong and fair women who turn into a horror movie character,  jealous and treacherous. There’s a verse in the Quran, from Chapter of Prophet Yusuf PBUH( Joseph) ,...

  One interesting thing about Sex & The City is when Carrie Bradshaw played by Sarah Jessica Parker got jilted on her wedding day, she took it to her heart, like any human being would. That’s when her three girlfriends understanding the need of the situation wisely , helped her get back to life slowly and gradually.Sensibly refraining from asking questions and giving her much needed space and allowing her regain control and return back to life ,but they never left her side completely is a good example one can follow. After every trauma, misery or loss of a loved one , those around us wants us to be normal again in a instant , to recover from it like you took a pill and they expect to see the results in the morning. Well it’s a bitter reality, those who are passing through that phase , they find it impossible,infact some people after a tragedy strikes , they find themselves unable to crawl out the bed in the morning.The smallest and tiniest acts , basic routine seems like c...

  Do you know what is Antisemitism and Anti journalism? When a semetic Palestinian, born in Jerusalem, reporting for her land,wearing a jacket clearing stating that she is a media personal,trying to share the crimes against her people,reporting their  misery living under the oppression ,is shot to death by illegal occupation’s armed to teeth militias… that’s called antisemitism and anti journalism. Sheerin Abu Akleh, a voice for Palestine, studied Journalism in Jordan.Although she moved to USA later, but her heart was always with her people ,she said in an interview “I chose journalism to be close to the people,It might not be easy to change the reality, but at least I was able to  bring their voice to the world “.  British MP Zahra Sultana  wrote on Twitter ,”Shireen Abu Akleh was reporting on an Israeli army raid on Jenin refugee camp in the illegally-occupied West Bank when she was shot in the head & killed by Israeli snipers,She was wearing a helmet ...
