From Dragonflies To Butterflies....

 



Art is a way to share the energy , to depict a state , a crisis , a feeling with colours, to share the message of love and positivity. The human mind is blessed with several strengths,  we can paint anything on the canvas of our minds , despite the parlous and precarious state of our reality .

The original artist Shamsia Hassani,  created this art , with the backgrounds in dark colours, and  tanks  showing the dark state her country Afghanistan has fallen into,and a girl wearing the badge saying وطن ،means home country, and the dragonflies flying around her, about which she shared  " Dragonfly is a symbol of hope and happiness, it teaches us to love life and be happy amidst difficulties "

Decades of war has destroyed the infrastructure and life ,above all the worst consequences of war is" the death of hope ". When a nation begins to lose their ability to hope for change and see the light, but continue to slipping  away into the darkness.

To continue this message of hope , I used my own vision and colours, the background I choose is showing the light of a bright day,  adding colours into the dress she is wearing,  closer to the colours of Afghan flag , red ,green and black . In addition to that,  instead of the dragonflies I picked butterflies , a symbol of life , hope , transformation , rebirth and change , moreover,  there are flowers, a symbol of new beginnings , life .

Allah says in the Quran "So lose not heart, nor fall into despair, for you will be superior if you are true in faith"  (Al Imran, 3:139) . As long as a nation hold onto their faith and continue to fight the darkness,  eventually victory will be bestowed upon them. Its not easy to see the light , when we have witnessed the darkness of night for so long,  but holding onto the hope makes a huge difference.

Pearls of Wisdom by Luqman a.s To his Son

we  humans are born with flaws ,imperfections, habits and natures of our own , pride,anger,lying,selfishness,arrogance are a part of us ,some admit them and have the abundance of one of these mentioned cruel attitudes in them ,others refrain to see their flaws and end up hurting others with their attitude and behaviors . while reciting Quran i am always amazed by the simple daily life matters and human faults and weaknesses it is addressing to ,the issues of this generation and showing them the rite path.  like today i was reciting surah al-Luqman and when i reached the verses where Luqman a.s who was a wise man of his time , his wisdom impressed the angles and Allah showered him with more light of guidance and praised him , he gave few very important advice's to his son with such polite and loving words that we can feel them . 1:                                     ...

Change The Way They Look At You

  Life is always developing,  growing and evolving,  from human bodies to their internal growth it’s a journey,  where almost nothing is static , when we are little we might have held a certain toy tigher to ourselves,  after few years we completely ignore it like it was worthless , or during our teens the activities and adventures we try despite all the  opposition & disapproval for that certain thing ,but we still eagerly try it ,because at that time it seems the most exciting thing to us, though after few years when we look back it seems utterly foolish , a lover, for whom we might be willing to die for cried rivers and buckets of tears, missed many heart beats in our twenties, turns into out most awaful crush of the past when we are more mature and get some perspective on life,  we laugh at those times of childishness. It’s not just an individual going through this process of change but everyone around that individual has their opinions develop...
