HBBC: Hijab removed

a couple of weeks ago i found a new profile picture for a friend of mine on my Facebook homepage
without her Hijab
that girl was one of my role models at a time, i used to look up to her
she is smart, brilliant, talented and has one of the most skillful minds i've ever known
that was shocking for me, because i am a person who cherishes the Idea of hijab
but it got me thinking, why do they do it?
why do i find a new girl removing her hijab like every month?
why do they not only uncover their hair but, in most cases, they go to the extreme
how can some one be covered from head to toe and then the following day be in bikini swim wear!!
were they forced to wearing it , i don't think so
are they bored of it?
is the temptation of showing people their skin so tempting?!

i got a conclusion that can NOT be applied to every one
but i believe a large percentage of them are just having a problem with their self confidence

maybe they think that by showing their body and hair they prove to others that they are beautiful
maybe their self esteem need the assurance of being attractive to the eyes

but i cannot find an excuse
sorry, i've really tried to be "civil"
but seriously i despise the act
it is not a game
although i always say that no girl should wear Hijab unless she is a hundred percent convinced and ready, but once you do it , it's a life time contract , we cannot play with God

i pity those girls really , beaceuse i know they probably have a serious emotional disorder to do this , for no one can taste the beauty and safety of Hijab and then take it off

الاغتراب , من زمن الإمام الشافعي

ما في المقام لذي عقل و ذي أدب * من راحة فدع الاوطان و اغترب
إني رأيت وقوف الماء يفسده * إن سال طاب و إن لم يجر لم يطب
و الشمس لو استمرت في الفلك * دائمة لملها الناس من عرب و من عجم
و الاسد لولا فراق الغاب ما اقتنصت * و السهم لولا فراق القوس لم يصب
و التبر كالتراب ملقى في اماكنه * و العود في ارضه نوع من الحطب
فإن تغرب هذا عز مطلبه * و إن تغرب ذاك عز كالذهب

تحية لآل البيت

هذه التحية للسيدة زينب رضي الله عنها من الشيخ المرحوم الصاوي شعلان رضي الله عنه

أشقيقة السبطين حيا الله صاحبة المقام

يا نفحة الزهراء يا أخت الإمام ابن الإمام

هذا الرحاب بساطه ظل من البيت الحرام

أوديعة الهادي بمصر لنا بحبكم اعتصام

ومن الملائك موكب معنا يؤدون السلام

لم لا ونور المصطفى لما أقمت هنا أقام

في شهر معراج النبي المرتجى يوم الزحام

بادرتِ هذا الشهر معراجا إلى دار السلام

Nala, The solitary reaper

a strange combination of character, a scattered mind, yet a straight soul
she knows she doesn't belong here
she knows there is no home for her
she is a stranger, was and will always be a stranger
always the odd one out
the geek among the empty heads
the empty headed among the geeks
the conservative among the liberals
and the liberal among the conservatives

there is no home for her, no place where she belongs
no one to relate to
no one to trust or love
no one is close enough
no one is important enough
and not a single person knows her
not a single person can see
but maybe, just maybe she opens at the close

but so far, in her eternal search for home, she only finds comfort in her solitude.

The great Dictator

  • we want to live by each others happiness not by each others misery.
  • this world has room for everyone, the good earth is rich.
  • we have lost the way. greed has poisoned our soles.
  • we have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in, machinery that give abundance has left us in want, our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind , we think too much and feel too little.
  • more than machinery we need humanity, more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness, without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost
  • The airplane and the radio has brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood and the unity of us all
  • to those who can hear me i say: do not despair, the misery that is now upon us is with the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress .
  • the hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people, and so long as men die, liberty will not perish
  • you are not machines, you are not cattle, you are MEN, you have the love of humanity in your hearts, you don't hate, only the unloved hates; the unloved and the unnatural
  • Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
  • in the seventeenth chapter of saint Luke it it stated:

"The kingdom of God is within man"
Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men; in you, the people.

  • You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
  • Then in the name of democracy let's use that power, let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security.
  • By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfill their promise, they never will.
  • Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.
  • Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
  • Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers! In the name of democracy, let us all unite!

  • Look up! The clouds are lifting, the sun is breaking through. We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world. A kind new world where men will rise above their hate and brutality.
  • The soul of man has been given wings, and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow, into the light of hope, into the future.

Turkey

i had so much fun at Istanbul, it was an amazing trip, made a lot of new friends and gained a lot of experience , it was my first time to travel abroad and my first time to travel alone without my family , bu i really loved it and turkey is a beautiful place to go, jut brilliant
However the sad thing was that i thought i was to see the capital of the Islamic rule
it was so disappointing to see how the people of this country forgot all about their origins howw religion is an accessory to their lives,how alcohol is a normal thing every night, how people are dressed, how the relation ships are and how fasting during ramadan is something weird in an ISLAMIC country !!
that was really sad

with the way things are turkey is running fast towards being a major power, but i just hope it it also improves from the religious aspect as well as the political.

i believe most people there are stuck in a trap and lost in principles; the can no longer connect to their Islamic roots and yet they are no fully European and they are not satisfied with that either
i thing it's a hard thing not knowing what your identity is and not settling on a group to join

God bless turkey and guide it to the right path
