أين أنتم من القرآن؟


“إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٌ۬ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡ‌ۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ”

“إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَہُمۡ وَكَانُواْ شِيَعً۬ا لَّسۡتَ مِنۡہُمۡ فِى شَىۡءٍ‌ۚ إِنَّمَآ أَمۡرُهُمۡ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُہُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ”

“وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعً۬ا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْ‌ۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَآءً۬ فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦۤ إِخۡوَٲنً۬ا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٍ۬ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡہَا‌ۗ كَذَٲلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَہۡتَدُونَ”

“وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتُ‌ۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ۬”

“وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ وَلَا تَنَـٰزَعُواْ فَتَفۡشَلُواْ وَتَذۡهَبَ رِيحُكُمۡ‌ۖ وَٱصۡبِرُوٓاْ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ”

“وَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِہِمۡ‌ۚ لَوۡ أَنفَقۡتَ مَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعً۬ا مَّآ أَلَّفۡتَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَلَـٰڪِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيۡنَہُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ۬”

“قُلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡقَادِرُ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يَبۡعَثَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابً۬ا مِّن فَوۡقِكُمۡ أَوۡ مِن تَحۡتِ أَرۡجُلِكُمۡ أَوۡ يَلۡبِسَكُمۡ شِيَعً۬ا وَيُذِيقَ بَعۡضَكُم بَأۡسَ بَعۡضٍ‌ۗ ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَفۡقَهُونَ”

“لَا يَرۡقُبُونَ فِى مُؤۡمِنٍ إِلاًّ۬ وَلَا ذِمَّةً۬‌ۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُعۡتَدُونَ (*) فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّڪَوٰةَ فَإِخۡوَٲنُكُمۡ فِى ٱلدِّينِ‌ۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ لِقَوۡمٍ۬ يَعۡلَمُونَ”

“فَأَقِمۡ وَجۡهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفً۬ا‌ۚ فِطۡرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيۡہَا‌ۚ لَا تَبۡدِيلَ لِخَلۡقِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلۡقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ (*) ۞ مُنِيبِينَ إِلَيۡهِ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِڪِينَ (*) مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمۡ وَڪَانُواْ شِيَعً۬ا‌ۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡہِمۡ فَرِحُونَ”

” شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِۦ نُوحً۬ا وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَا وَصَّيۡنَا بِهِۦۤ إِبۡرَٲهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰٓ‌ۖ أَنۡ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُواْ فِيهِ‌ۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ مَا تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ‌ۚ ٱللَّهُ يَجۡتَبِىٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَہۡدِىٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يُنِيبُ”

“وَإِن طَآٮِٕفَتَانِ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٱقۡتَتَلُواْ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَہُمَا‌ۖ فَإِنۢ بَغَتۡ إِحۡدَٮٰهُمَا عَلَى ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰ فَقَـٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّتِى تَبۡغِى حَتَّىٰ تَفِىٓءَ إِلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ فَإِن فَآءَتۡ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَہُمَا بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَأَقۡسِطُوٓاْ‌ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُقۡسِطِينَ (*) إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٌ۬ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡ‌ۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ”

Like a fool

Running up and down the streets of Jerusalem

Looking for me

.

601929_464919153586693_1746127396_n.

Staring at people’s faces

Searching in their eyes for my features

Did that boy pronounce my name?

Might I find my shadow stitched in his heart?

Don’t ask me about my age

I stopped counting decades ago

For every second of pain count thirteen years

Forty, for each fallen tear

Seventy, for each smothered breath

Nine centuries for every stolen smile of a child’s face

.

Did you see me?

Do you know where can I find me?

I dared to whisper

Right here, beneath your feet

My heart was sown

In Palestine

Wherever you go, whatever you do

You are always smothered by the ugly face of occupation

Does it matter that Michael Chertoff was the head of Department of Homeland Security ?

Does it matter that he was the one in charge of 9/11 investigation?

Does it matter that he introduced and campaigned to have the full body scanner machines in airports?

Does it matter that he has shares in the Chertoff company which manufactures and sells body scanner machines?

Does it matter that this man is a dual citizen?

Does it matter that his father is a Talmudic rabbi?

Does it matter that he has very warm relationship with the supremacist group Chabad Lubavitch?

OH YES

HELL IT DOES

When “israel” is Mighty


This might be food for thought for those who still dream of some kind of “coexistence” based on the fantasy of “equal rights” with some “chosen” supremacists:

ميلاد


فكما تتشقق الأرض لتنبت زهرة
وكما يتفتت الصخر فتكبر بذرة

كذا العمر يفنى
فعقل يُدّك
وقلب يُشّق
وروح تُفتق
و تسقط عَبرة وتُخنق عَبرة

لتُبعث نفس
وتزهر مهجة
وتولد فكرة

Birth

As soil pushed apart for a flower to grow

As a rock split asunder for a seed to bloom

Thus life gets eroded

Mind grinned

Heart crushed

Soul squeezed

A fallen tear… a smothered tear

Resurrection

Blossom

A thought is born

دموع


اعيش حالة من الحزن تشبه الموت ولا اقول الا كقول الصدّيقة مريم

” يا ليتني مت قبل هذا وكنت نسياً منسياً “

كيف لا ؟

ارى موطني يتفتت فييتفتت قلبي هلعاً
وارى الأخ يذبح اخاه فينفطر قلبي جزعاً

آه يا امة ما حملت الرسالة
آه يا امة قد خانت الامانة
آه يا امة روعت قلب الرسول
آه يا امة ادمعت عين البتول

“وإن تتولوا يستبدل قوماً غيركم ثم لا يكونوا أمثالكم”

Tears

I live a state of sadness that resembles death

I say nothing but what Mariam, the pure, have said

“Ah! would that I had died before this!

Would that I had been a forgotten memory, out of sight!”

.

Why not?

.

I see a Homeland torn to pieces… my heart is slaughtered

I see a brother slaying his own… my soul is ripped apart

.

Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for not delivering the Message

Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for betraying trust

Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for breaking the heart of the Messenger

Woe unto thee, “Ummah”, for bringing tears into the eyes of the pure

.

“If ye turn away, He will substitute in your stead another people;

then they would not be like you!”

About dreams


602619_435679579827445_2020917524_n

From the womb of agony


Dreams are born


Sweet and pure


We nourish and groom


And watch them grow

After living in us


Long enough


They come alive


Before we know it


We start living in them


Living…them
