Teach the World…Leave your Print

Americans Mourn Passing Of Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs (By: Andrew Burton)

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”

                                                                      -Karen Ravn

Just four days after Steve Jobs’ death, the person who have taught the world how to be innovative even if you know that you will die after few months.

That young boy, whose hobby was working on electronics in his family garage, became a legend. His ambition and dreams were his tools to create the first truly personal computer "Apple" in this garage. His motivation was to expect that every day would be his last day in this life, so he must do something worthy. Every step he took, created his history.

Mr. Jobs have left his print in every place, in every hand and in every brain. He passed away leaving us with an important question; could we face death with this great passion and energy to improve the world and to create better life for the new generation?

Accepting that you will die one day is easier than insisting to make something good before that day.

You may dream to be in memory after death, to leave your print, to make something that keeps your existence even after 20 or 30 years after your death.

You could make it, by creating your own path of success, by dreaming to reach the stars, and by having a meaningful goal in your life.

Don’t wait until it will be too late to achieve something you want. Begin from now, dream with a better future for yourself, your family and the entire world. Put goals that nourish your creativity and sow the seeds of an effective change in your life and in others life.

“Be the change you want to see in the world” 

                                                                             -Mahatma Gandhi

Don’t let setbacks keep you away from achieving your goals and dreams; even if those setbacks are illness or facing death. Be brave to complete your way, face the illness with Allah’s power and dare to dream even if you are dying.

Follow your heart… Follow your dreams…

Create your path of success… Live Better Life…

Open Your Eyes!

“It’s marvellous what you can see when you open your eyes.”

                                                                          -Unknown

Seeing the secrets of this life, knowing what beyond every truth, understands what you should do and what you shouldn’t, all that need a power.

Open your eyes; it is the power of belief.

It is time to open your eyes, to open your heart and to give yourself a moment to think. Think in your existence, in the miracles inside you and those which surrounds you.

Open your eyes to feel this inner power that can drive you to achieve the impossible, this inner power that let you see beyond what you can see.

Either you are a successful person, famous, wise, genius, and know everything in this world, or you are still searching for your goal, want to have unstoppable abilities you need to open your eyes.

You can touch everything around you and change it to a better state. You can survive your pain, struggling and weakness. You can enjoy your happiness, love and life.

Search for your greatest love... Search for your greatest power...

Open your Eyes, Heart & Mind... Live Better Life...

Real Friends…Real Treasure

Buried Treasure (By: Andrew Dernie)

“Do people think they will be left alone after saying ‘We believe’ without being put to test? We tested those who went before them: God will certainly mark out which ones are truthful and which are lying.”

-Surah Al- ‘Ankabut “The Spider” 29:2-3          (translated by: M. A. S. Abdel Haleem)

" أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آَمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ (٢) وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ (٣)"ُـ                                          -سورة العنكبوت 2-3

Tribulation period is like swimming in stormy sea, as if all the waves come to hit you at the same time.

I am not writing today an inspiring article. And I am not going to tell you how to try to be strong when you have a hard time. And I won’t tell you that every tribulation is building your character and gives you strength.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”

                                                                      -Helen Keller

But I am here to drop a thank you note. As I have realized that I found a treasure in my nowadays hard time. They are Real Friends…

I am here to thank you the smiling scientist-The Drone Girl- and you the small pretty flower- BB-.

Really thanks Allah that I have you beside me at this time.

You “The Drone girl” support me and give me your wise advice. And you have never left me alone, instead you became sad for my sadness, crying and praying to ask Allah to help me. Your wisdom always let me see some stuff that I couldn’t realize under my pressure, and your trust & experience encouraged me to tell you my secrets.

And you “BB” you make me happy when you smile. I know that I didn’t tell you some stories about this time, but this is because I don’t want you to be afraid of life, and I don’t want you think that life is so bad. But we must be examined by Allah. Only your way of talking and your charming face let me forget my distress.

I was always wishing to have a friend, a real and true friend. And I thank Allah that He blessed me with this tribulation to know that I have a great treasure.

Thank you… Wishing you the best ever…

Wishing you a better life full of success, joy and happiness…

Alone Between Yesterday & Tomorrow!

Sunrise looking down fairway of desert golf course (By: Thomas Barwick)

"The past is behind, learn from it.
The future is ahead, prepare for it.
The present is here, live it.”
                                                         - Thomas S. Monson

Sometimes you find yourself alone, surrounded with a lot of disasters. Sometimes you find yourself a stranger, weak and small in a stormy sea.

You find that you have to fight alone in the weird battle of life. Alone because no one has the ability to fight with you, no one dare to complete a battle with you.

Not only no one dare to continue this fight but also no one have the patience and steadfast to continue till the end.

Although you suddenly realize that you won the battle, you also realize that it was too late and no one could survive and stay beside you.

After all you win, even if you have stayed alone but you learnt that the victory was too closer than you have thought. And you learnt not to give-up quickly.

The only danger after this winning is to be trapped in the past, over thinking about the future, not knowing that your life is too short and you don't have much time to complete your legendary.

Your brain triggering you, please don't waste the remaining time, try to focus on your mission in life. You have the ability to be satisfied with the past and learn from it, hope and plan for a wonderful future full of success, joy and happiness and finally live for today.

Today is the only gift you have and if you lose it, it will never come again till the Day of Judgment, so benefit with the maximum of it.

If you find yourself alone and very weak, if you find yourself a stranger with a pile of load on your shoulder; don't give-up, Allah knows and He will be with you all the way, giving you the strength and the power to continue  until you finish your mission, until your death and after.

Don't be concerned with what was and what will be. Everything in our life is a destiny.

Everything is between Allah's hands. You are not alone.

Live your destiny… Live Better Life…

Let it out, Mail from my DEAREST Friend!

toned shot of envelopes (By: Stockbyte)

"Dear The Legend;

I wrote this.. just wanted to let it out.. thought i'd share it with you..

Death changes everything.

First of all I’m a believer, and I know that there comes a moment when a person has to go.. it’s his time.. he was chosen.. he finished what he was sent here to do.. and its time for him to leave.. di 7ekmet rabina w mo2mena beeha..

The difficult thing about it is the chances you missed. The things you wanted to say, the things you wanted to do, but never got the chance. You keep procrastinating not knowing that the time you have left might not be enough. You keep setting reminders, things you’re planning on doing but you never get around to it.

Death is sudden. It takes you by surprise.

Now you wish you hadn’t postponed anything. You wish you had called when you had the chance. 

Cherish every moment because it might very well be the last.
Photographs… one day they’ll be all you have left to remember him by.
In the blink of an eye, it all fades away.

All what remains is the memory of you, for I shall never forget you my dearest friend.

Goodbyes are inevitable but I will see you again isA..

B.F.S

It is DEATH!

Golden sunset in Namibia (By: TEOCARAMEL)

“We shall certainly test you with fear and hunger, and loss of property, lives and crops. But [Prophet], give good news to those who are steadfast, those who say, when afflicted with a calamity, ‘We belong to God and to Him we shall return.’ These will be given blessing and mercy from their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided.”

- Surah Al-Baqara “The Cow” 2:155-157                         (translated by: M. A. S. Abdel Haleem)

 " وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ (١٥٥) الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ (١٥٦) أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ (١٥٧)"                                               -سورة البقرة 155-157

Silence… All of them were in black…some were crying quietly… “She Died”. This was my second time to pass this calamity, and in both of them I was in the same state!

It is Death; it comes suddenly without previous knowledge, the only reality that we can't escape from it.


In this life we should know that no one will stay forever, no matter how much we love him. But finally he will go. Everyone have a mission in this universe, once he finished it, he must go and another person will come then go.

A lot of people will come to the life's shore and a lot will go, once the happiness born someone you love will go.

Death is not a cessation of life, but it is a lesson for us to remember that one day we will also die.

So what do you want to achieve before death comes? How you can achieve your mission in life without biasing from the rules that Allah put to us? How to be mindful of Allah, and aware that one day He will ask you about every step you have taken?

We mustn’t live for fame, or money, or anything that will die as it is all gone once we die. So we must live for something that will not die.

May Allah gives mercy to our death.
Until we finish our mission in life… Until our Death…

Live Better Life…

It is time to, ESCAPE!

Happy Baby Laying on Back (By: Alexandra Grablewski)

“If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn’t ask me, I’d still have to say it.                                                                                                                      -George F. Burns

Stress times, is the most difficult period the human could go through. How to cope with stress is the question.

Stress comes from pressures in your life, and your life is like the atmosphere when the pressure increases a hurricane builds up.

So it is time to….Escape!

Escape to your safest place. This safest place can be in the center of the storm.

A time ago, the coming words have been said to me and hence every hard time I read them to know my escape destination.

"ثم يهرب العبد من ضيق صدره بالهموم و الغموم و الاحزان و المخاوف التي تعتريه في هـذه الدار من جهة نفسه و ما هو خارج عن نفسه مما يتعلق بأسباب مصالحه و مصالح من يتعلق به و ما يتعلق بماله و بدنه و أهله و عدوه , يهرب من ضيق صدره بذلك كله الي سعة فضاء الثقة بالله تبارك و تعالي , و صدق التوكل عليه , و حسن الرجاء لجميل صنعه به , و توقع المرجو من لطفه و بره , و من أحسن كلام العامة قولهم : لا هم مع الله. قال الله تعالي : و من يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا و يرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب, قال الربيع بن خثيم : يجعل له مخرجا من كل ما ضاق علي الناس. و قال ابو العالية : مخرجا من كل شدة , و هذا جامع لشدائد الدنيا و الاخرة , و مضايق الدنيا و الاخرة , فان الله يجعل للمتقي من كل ما ضاق علي الناس و اشتد عليهم في الدنيا و الاخرة مخرجا. و قال الحسن: مخرجا مما نهاه عنه و من يتوكل علي الله فهو حسبه أي : كافي من يثق ببه في نوائبه و مهماته , يكفيه كل ما أهمه , و الحسب الكافي حسبنا الله اي كافينا الله. و كلما كان العبد حسن الظن بالله. حسن الرجاء له, صادق التوكل عليه , فأن الله لا يخيب أمله فيه البته : فانه سبحانه لا يخيب أمل آمل , و لا يضيع عـمل عامل , و عبر عن الثقة و حسن الظن بالسعة فأنه أشرح للصدر و لا اوسع له بعد الايمان من ثقته بالله و رجائه له و حسن ظنه به."

من كتاب: تهذيب مدارج السالكين بين منازل اياك نعبد و اياك نستعين

الكاتب: إبن القيم الجوزية

We must know that our fear, worry and anxiety from any tough circumstances around will lead to burning out and thus we won’t be able to achieve our ultimate goal.

You must know the secret to be safe in a hurricane; you must believe that you are strong enough to pass all this. You must know how to be calm, just remember that you must be great and you must achieve your dreams even if it seems impossible.

You can achieve the impossible; just put your faith in something that will not die.

Even if it is going tough, remember your ultimate goal.

Cope with stress… Find your safest place

Be Strong…Live Better Life…
