‘Malicious generalisations about Islam have become the last acceptable form of denigration of foreign culture in the West; what is said about the Muslim mind, or character, or religion, or culture as a whole cannot now be said in mainstream discussion about Africans, Jews, other Orientals, or Asians.’ ~ The Late Edward Said
‘They used to say Palestinians fight like heroes, now they say heroes fight like Palestinians.’ ~ Norman Finkelstein
‘Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, “It might have been.”‘ ~ John Greenleaf Whittier
What are words, rhymes and verses good for?
When we don’t live by them but ephemerally
We get lost in the poetic flow of similes and metaphors
With the message stirring an emotion only temporarily
{وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّ حُبًّا لِّلَّهِ ۗ } ♡ {And those who BELIEVE are STRONGER in LOVE for ALLÂH} ♡ (002:165)
‘Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.’ ~ Albert Camus
{وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا}
{And do not kill yourselves; Indeed, Allâh is to you ever Merciful.}
(04:29)
‘They used to say Palestinians fight like heroes, now they say heroes fight like Palestinians.’ ~ Norman Finkelstein
Thanks to my dear hubby’s dare
I started this website five years ago today
With the intention of sharing book reviews
Instead it’s evolved in a different way
{It is HE Who created life and death to test which of you is BETTER in Deed}
(67:02)
