She Lives a Life of Value

Image
"She always aspires to live a life of value. It's brutality hard sometimes, yet highly rewarding in the end. That's not a lesson she takes lightly. It's a lesson she'll never take for granted." ~ Noha Abdel-Tawab

ما عِند الله خيرٌ وأبقى

Image
أصوات سارينة ونباح كلاب وشتايم من أفواه عيال ضآلة وزعيق بني أدمين وكلاكسات عربيات متزاحمة وحر وعرق وتعطيل مصالح وإصدار أحكام بالإعدام وشباب بينزل من بيته عشان يموت وشوية عواجيز حرامية متحكمة في بلد متمرمغة في الحرام والفساد .... إلخ إلخ إلخ  كل "ده" وفي ال background فيه صوت صغير جاي من بعيد .. صوت عصافير بتحاول تنادي على بعض .. الشئ الوحيد اللي متخيلاها بتقوله : "ما عِند الله خيرٌ وأبقى .." "ما عِند الله خيرٌ وأبقى .." "ما عِند الله خيرٌ وأبقى .." #يا_رب الصبر من عندك .. لا حول ولا قوة إلا بك <3

Rest In Peace Thou Love ...

Image
She's in a state of shock .. He has changed into every aspect he has despised and hated his entire life .. He's acting like someone else .. Someone she never knew existed .. or maybe she had fears he would be and never admitted it to herself .. She can't imagine how a man can be that gentle and becomes a cold-hearted beast with no mercy whatsoever even within the words he utters.. He's aching, it's obvious that he is .. He's acting like he has conquered the world, when he's only destroying every little hope of them being together .. "How can someone be that self-destructive?" she keeps asking herself over and over again .. How did he manage to damage the only real bond he had with a woman? Why is he giving up on the only thing worth fighting for? How can a man forget years and years of his life by taking one decision within hours?! .. Could it be? Can someone love for just the sake of waiting to be loved the same? A million thoughts are racing ...

  من 10 أيام تقريبا ربنا منّ عليَّا بزيارة بيته الحرام .. أول مرة أعمل عمرة .. عندي 30 سنة بس حاسة إني اتولدت من جديد .. سبحان الله .. يا رب تقبل يا رب ..  من عبادة الله عز وجل إنك تحس بيقين الدعاء .. وبحاول أثبت على الإحساس ده إن ربىا يتقبل طاعتى عسى أن يلحقنى بالصالحين .. اللهُم يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك .. آمين  الأيام عدت بسرعة قوي والغريب إن الوقت في المدينة المنورة فيه بركة غريبة عمري ما حسيتها في أي حتة تانية .. عارفين ال snooze بتاع الموبيل؟ مفيش مرة ضرب فيها ال alarm وحسيت إنها 5 دقائق أبداً! والله كنت بحس إنهم ساعة وبقوم عادي جداً من غير تعب وشبعانة نوم .. وأحلى حاجة صلاة الفجر في المسجد .. بجد نعمة كبيرة قوي بحسد الرجالة عليها :) .. خسارة والله اللي تفوته .. صدقوا العلماء حين قالوا أن بها بركة اليوم كله .. محسيتش إن المدينة أحلى من مكة زي ما ناس كتيرة بتقول .. حسيت كل مدينة فيهم مختلفة في حلاوتها .. كل حاجة فيها مميزة عن التانية .. على قد ما حبيتهم الاتنين على قد ما زعلت قوي من الناس اللي مش حاسين بقيمتهم .. عدم المبالاه مرض فظيع رب...

"إبتسم فإن الله يحبك" | مسابقة مبادرة "إبتسامة"

Image
"After attending TEDxCairo 2012, I couldn't help but be amazed by Yasmine El-Shawy's talk and how she has magically managed to bring me back to life. This design is dearly special to my heart. It's not just a photo or incident I can recall and sigh, however I believe it's ALLAH (swt)'s message to me at this exact stage of my life. I've been there for a reason, and I'm so so thankful for it. I've faced a lot of problems lately, and Yasmine has managed to grant me my very own sanctuary moment, where I can mesmerize the existence of ALLAH (swt) everywhere I go. The very next day, precisely at Fajr, I woke up spreading all the stickers I gathered on my prayer carpet, capturing this photo and thinking to myself; "I love him TOO!" I've never been happier nor more grateful than I was then. I was reminded I was loved by the All Mighty ALLAH, who has never failed me one and to whom I solely trust in this world. To be able to receive such t...

Book Review: "Ibn Al-Gama'a" or "Son of the MB"

Image
I have to congratulate myself for reading this book cover to cover. I didn't back off; I was determined to finish it once and for all. I knew it may take me quite some time to wrap it up, but I was delighted I was able to do so. Despite my personal insights on some elements in this novel, I couldn't help but wonder about its ending. You'll find a lot of my inputs in this review. "Ibn Al Gama'a" is a novel written by a new Egyptian writer named, Ahmed Hossam Al-Din. It's obvious that's it's his first trial, however the plot is quite interesting to read. Indeed, its title is catchy, especially due to our current events in Egypt; how the Muslim Brotherhood are active and highly engaged in our political scene at the moment. Narrating his own life story about how he was brought up among the MB community, Mustafa Mustafa Mahmoud Al-Taba'ei, the main character, starts by stating few detailed facts about his family and his home town, Al-Monofeyah. Mo...

Lost & Found .. A Short Story

Image
Once upon a time, in a far away Arabian land, there was a man called, Usama. He was widely known of his nobility and courage. His sword and his horse were his only best friends. Growing alone, he has been brought up by the local black smith, who taught him the arts of battle and showed him where dignity lies. Ever since Usama was a young boy, he had his eyes on Laila; she was the most beautiful princess anyone has ever seen. He knew he was not a man of wealth, nor he had the treasures for such royalty. However, he was determined to win her heart at any cost or under any circumstances, that life would ever bring him. One day, the village messengers have crossed the entire village with one rewinding announcement, "Behold the King's most precious proposal, fellow citizens. If a man wishes to marry Princess Laila, he must pass this test. Whoever finds the lost necklace of the Princess will be announced as her Husband-to-be in a grand wedding ceremony, held under their honors.” T...

Qualifications of a Happy Girl

Image
Is it too late for her to feel safe? Is it that hard to be trapped in a world of a happy face? Why is it that hard for her to smile? Why can’t she be like any normal girl who walks the streets? She looks at her mirror and wonders. In her hands are bits of her hair, falling down like drops of rain, yet she can’t help but wonder, why do all those crazy things happen to her? She knows there’s a reason for everything, but she’s quite fed up. Not just totally yet, I suppose. What is she going to do, that’s the real question. It’s always the paradox of choice that quivers her. She can’t seem to find a firm answer to all her decisions. For ages, she’s been much assertive, but lately nothing falls into place. Again, she feels her head itching and itching. It must be her hair falling down. Whenever she’s stressed, she collects a pound of hair in her hands. What a beautiful hair she had once. Most of her friends used to envy her for having such a rich and long classy hair. It’s the type of h...

A Diamond Treasure - a Short Story

Image
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Emma. Throughout her entire 17 years of age, she has proudly looked up to her mom. She has been brought up, knowing how wonderful and kind this woman is. She’s the one who lightens up her day each morning, yet Emma manages to upset her every now and then. She doesn’t appreciate her much, neglecting her at times and acting childish. In spite that fact, her mom manages to forgive her and Emma always wondered how that is possible. One day, Emma was drawn to her room, hearing sounds of a golden treasure sparkling their way down from her bedroom ceiling. Resting herself on her bed, she couldn’t figure out where it’s coming from because of its grand density and countless figures. Just when the glittery sounds stopped, she found the most beautiful piece of diamond necklace she has ever seen right on her lap. She couldn’t believe it for a moment; It was the exact piece of jewelry that her mom had. What’s the first thing any girl would d...

.. Redemption .. A Short Story

Image
Time was never on his side. Over the years, he had grown accustomed to a certain system; a routine if you will. But, after 60 years, the moment had come to reflect upon the past. Holding the cup of tea in one hand and a cigarette in the other, he calmly stared outside the window at the falling rain. He felt alone, but it wasn’t foreign to him. He was used to it. He had just gone out of prison and he kept telling himself that it’s never too late. But, he’s always reminded of what he’s done. He’s so self-centered, he can’t think of anything else but the murder he had committed once before. Till that day, he can’t imagine how he was able to do so. He was always this bright young doctor who’s known to be one of the most decent persons on earth. He was honest and had the highest self-esteem anyone can hope for. He knew exactly what he wanted and he pursued it. He spent his 7 years of study with great efficiency and dedication. And as he graduated, he started to feel lost. Suddenly, th...

.. To Hell and Back ..

Image
Just when you feel like the world is all fine and sound, you wake up to such an awful fact that it is not .. Just when you pull yourself together and start living normally once again, you get hit by a strike .. You know what really irritates her? .. She keeps fighting and fighting everyday for that glimpse of light that she might see .. and I repeat MIGHT see .. She perfectly knows that everyone has his/her own problems to fix, but she keeps wondering... when will it ever be her turn? It always comes to her senses, why can't she just vanish from the face of the earth and never come again .. if she's just nothing but pain to all who surround her, then why the hell did they decide to let her exist .. Is it so hard to understand that you give birth to someone to actually let him experience living?! Does it really hurt to realize that you're dying sooner or later? Is it really possible that someone could be that mean and stubborn? Then again, viciousness has always...

.. A Statement of a Deaf Guy ..

Image
To actually visualize something that you love is one of the most pleasant things in life. People always mentioned this to me and I believe it's true .. Seeing a beautiful woman arouses the butterfly feelings and gives you a sensible picture of your perfect lover .. Smelling the breeze of a pouring rain gives you a chili sense of revival .. Touching a newly born baby allows you to know the reason behind being sweet and innocent .. Tasting a freshly cooked breakfast provides the urge of energetic sensations .. But, hearing is the only thing that's confusing to a deaf person, especially when he's never been able to do it .. The word "sound" is never uttered not even spelled .. In fact, all of these words doesn't make sense and it's ok .. You can always feel bad to lose something that you already had .. But, what if you've never known what it's like to shout, to spell the words of love or to even hear the voice of your own mom .. It's simply no...

Sensitive & Trying To Deal With It

Image
Her mum told her a very strange phrase today.. Never thought she would ever tell her a phrase like that.. She knows it's been hard living with each other lately, but she just stroke her when she simply shouted at her while having a discussion, " You don't love anybody!" "How can she say something like that?! It really hurts," she said.. It's not that she believes her, but it's just the thought that her mum can think of her this way.. It's really strange.. "I don't love anyone 'cause I don't accept people treating me like s*** ?? .. Do I have to accept their ignorance just to win their love?!" She was really astonished by her words.. You may think she's exaggerating or something.. Maybe, but she's just stating what she feels.. Isn't it at least her right?! .. "Why is it always so hard to state what you think?! And when you don't, you receive the worst comments anyone can hear of," she thou...
