I was gonna post sumthing earlier..but as i was searching a new item for the blog upgrade...i came across some pictures that threw me off my 'luxurious time'.
I saw pictures...pictures anyone who bows before no one but God would go mad at...pictures that brought tears to anyone who's heart loves The Messanger (s.a.w.)...pictures that would destroy any pleasure we feel today...
pictures..of Muslims...
pictures of Muslims during the trial times..the time of war...
the battles arent over yet...it still lives on...

AYNA JUNDUL MUSLIMOON

InshaAllah..when i find time.i'll link the pictures..
as for the post i planed...itwill have to wait.

Allahuma Mansoor Muslimeen fi Kulli makaan.

This poem was written by Sultan Bahadur Zafar Shah II of The mughul empire..after he was ousted by the British Imperialist army.The Sultan spent his last days in Exile in Burma.
see more pictures on Sultan Bahadur here.

Lagta nahin jee mera, ujre dayar mein

Kis ki bani hai, aalam-e-napaiydaar mein

Bulbul ko paasbaan se na sayyad se gila

Qismat mein qaid thi likhi, fasl-e-bahar mein

Keh do in hasraton se kahin aur ja basein

Itni jagah kahan hai, dil-e-daaghdaar mein

Ek shaakh-e-gul pe beith ke bulbul hain shaadmaan

Kaante bicha diye hain, dil-e-lalahzaar mein

Umr-e-daraaz maang ke laaye the char din

Do aarzu mein kat gaye, do intezar mein

Din zindegi ke khatam hue, shaam hogayi

Phaila ke paaon soyenge, kunj-e-mazar mein

Kitna hai badnaseeb zafar, dafan ke liye

Do gaz zameen bhi mil na saki, ku-e-yaar mein

My heart is not happy in this ruined land

Who has ever found fulfillment in this transient world?

The nightingale has no complaint against the guard or the hunter

It was in her fate to remain caged during the spring

Tell these desires to go settle elsewhere

Where is there enough room for them in my wounded heart?

The joyous nightingales sit on a flower covered bough

But thorns have been scattered throughout the flower gardens of my heart

I asked for a long life, and was given but four days

Two were wasted in desire, two in waiting

The days of my life come to a close, dusk approaches

I shall spread my feet in slumber, in a corner of my tomb

How ill fated is Zafar, for his burial place

He couldn’t find two yards of space, in the lane of his beloved

AROO PARO passed the musical baton to me.. so lend me thine ears...as i breach the Private and Confidential Act 1999.

here goes nuttin':

Total volume of music files on my computer: approx. 1.4GB...mine alone...My bro got his own file..probably 2-3GB...dunno..dont like his taste of musics anyway

Last CD I bought: never bought one..they dont have good nasheed CD on sale here.I dont trust online purchase..or ..the shipping cost is unreasonably too high.
e.g. Ya Rajaain 3 album - US$ 4.32
Packaging and delivery - US$12.00

Songs playing right now: Mo'ebahiroon by Ahmed Bukhatir....ok just moved on to Entasaf al- Layl by Mohammad Obeid.

Five tracks I listen to a lot:
1)Ya Rajaain 3 by Mishary al-Arada
2)Elaika by Mohammad Obeid
3)Khaliqool Akhwan by Hamood al-Khadir
4)Ya Moe'tamm
5)Tanweel ul-Shawq by Ahmed Bukhater

Three people to whom I'm passing the baton: ok this is tough...

i)Imaane
ii)Spice
iii)brotherhood

Assalamualeykum wrbt...

i feel like writing about this 3 words..which some us consider as either too sacred to be uttered...or..in most cases...too proud to mention it.

3 words...can you guess it?..its simple english words..

NO! its not

I LUV YOU

Thats no difficult word to utter...as a matter of fact...let me say this... I LOVE YOU!
yea, you!...
no..i'm not gay..neither am i having a secret crush on you...lol...enuff bollywood for you!:P

If you're reading this..you are probably a Muslim...and a Muslim is to love his bros and siss..(like duh!)..you dont need a sheikh to tell you that.

OK..cut the crap Afzal..tell them what the 3 words.....NOW!!

Ok..chill...
3 simple words....

hard to be uttered by some...

3 magical words...that can save thousands of lives and millions of money.....

I AM SORRY

No i'm not sorry..why should i be...i didnt wronged you!...hahaha...
That was the 3 words. simple..right?

Yet..why is it so hard for us to say it to people we wronged to..?
well..i'm being general...some of us are totally cool!...Some are too cool..saying sorry even to things they didnt caused...just to avoid further tension!
Masha'Allah..if you are one of them...

but unfortunately thats not the case for most Homo sapiens . Too much pride i'ld say.

I'm not saying i'm not one of those people who find it hard to say Sorry......it seems to be the hardest word sometimes...

but the 'just for thought' part is that...

if I didnt said sorry to that anonymous...he/she will be hurt..for how long..as long as he live?
I would have probably forgot what i did to him...but will the hurt person forget...(well..lets say the person isnt a amnesia patient)..then there's a high chance he wont forget...

so live goes on..rite?

WRONG!

As long as that person havent forgiven you...God's wrath lies upon you...(assuming he's muslim)...
The sin is not God's to forgive...He's Most Forgiving...you say Sorry sincerely..."kun Faya Kun"...you are forgiven...

but the sin you made (by unjustly hurting sumone's feeling)..is between you and him!

lets put it this way...

Without his pardon..you dont get God's pardon.

Well..thats a thought...
sorry if i'm going in circles...i'm having a headache..and its way pass my bed time.

You scored as Religious. Crusading (literally) for a unified world religion, you believe in the rightness of your one truth and seek to spread it. You hold a strong faith in the divine manifestation of your cause. Some Religious Wars include the Crusades (obviously) and, some would say, the War in Iraq of today.

Friend!
What is a friend?
And who shall tell you of what a friend is?
He is indeed a person sent to lighten your day.And that bond is indeed, a blessing from God Most High.
Friends,sons,wealth and positions are all trials from Him,so that you may show your love to Him over the worldly attractions.
Woe, and again woe, to he who deals with his friend like he deals the merchandise for trade.Had it not been for the mercy of his Lord, he would have been stranded in a lonely island,inhabitated by man.When alone, he shall beg for a companion.And when a companion is granted to him, he shall take The blessing for granted. Woe and woe again.
Those who bargain in friendship.And those who take friendship as a mean of gain for their life in Duniya. Woe and again woe.
Do they think their wealth came from their contacts? Nay, friends,sons,wealth and positions are all from Him.A sign of His Mercy.So praise Him and give your thankfulness to Him all night and all day.God is Most Great, there is none worthy of worship but Him.
So when you see your brother,smile.For smile is charity. And when you've been blessed with a friend, be thankful.
Indeed, God loves those who are thankful.
