““I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet.””

- Mahmoud Darwish (via hnamed)

On the authority of son of Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), among the sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said: “Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

kashmirichai:

When was the last time you stood up in the darkness of night, with nobody watching you, to pray two rak’ahs to Allah? When your warm bed is calling you, do you get up on your feet out of love and devotion to your Rabb? When everyone else is asleep, are you there, making du’aa, pleading to Allah?

The Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wasallam said: “Jibreel came to me and said: ‘O Muhammad, live as long as you want, for you will die. Love whomever you want, for you will leave him. Do whatever you want, for you will be held accountable for it. Remember that the believer’s honor is his praying at night, and his pride is his being independent of people.’ [Sahih al-Jaami’]

"But the Black man by nature is a builder, he is scientific by nature, he’s mathematical by nature...."

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:24:31 -0500

“But the Black man by nature is a builder, he is scientific by nature, he’s mathematical by nature. Rhythm is mathematics, harmony is mathematics. It’s balance. And the Black man is balanced. Before you and I came over here, we were so well balanced we could toss something on our head and run with it. You can’t even run with your hat now—you can’t keep it on. Because you lost your balance. You’ve gotten away from yourself. But when you are in tune with yourself, your very nature has harmony, has rhythm, has mathematics. You can build. You don’t even need anybody to teach you how to build. You play music by ear. You dance by how you’re feeling. And you used to build the same way. You have it in you to do it. I know Black brickmasons from the South who have never been to school a day in their life. They throw more bricks together and you don’t know how they learned how to do it, but they know how to do it. When you see one of those other people doing it, they’ve been to school— somebody had to teach them. But nobody teaches you always what you know how to do. It just comes to you. That’s what makes you dangerous. When you come to yourself, a whole lot of other things will start coming to you, and the man knows it.”

fusionkelvar:

The heart is a liar. it speaks when it isnt asked. it is silent in your moment of doubt. dont play into the deceit of lust. love is a false emotion. hate is supreme. death is the only real thing in life. dont cry over another human being because the soul is worth nothing in currency. strife for self reliance and murder doubt.

"Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress...."

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”

- Margaret Atwood from the novella, The Penelopiad. (via maliha-)

madametoutnoir:

The Iraq war did not need to happen

There were no weapons of mass destruction. It was a lie.

Over a hundred thousand innocent people have died because of a lie.

By 2008, over a thousand American soldiers committed suicide while serving in Iraq. The number has surely only increased since.

Me: Why God? I don't get it. I try so hard, but I'm just so weak. I'm done. I can't fight anymore.

Me: Why God? I don't get it. I try so hard, but I'm just so weak. I'm done. I can't fight anymore.

God: You don't have to always understand. Trust. Over and over again you try and do it your own way, and over and over again you fall. But I still love you. Take my hand. Get back up. You aren't done until you have permission from me to stop fighting, which won't be anytime soon. Trust this time. Trust in my strength. Trust that my grace is enough. If you trust in yourself you are going to be stuck learning it the hard way.
