A Garden and Desert..

-
Ali woke up to another wonderful day, sun rays blinding him as he looked out the window. The rainwater had dried up, leaving no evidence of itself. He went to wash his face, change his clothes. As he was already late for the school, he had to hurry. On the other hand, Bashir couldn't sleep all night, not because he was not sleepy, but because the place he used to sleep at was flooded with rainwater. He was a poor soul, with no family, and no source of income.

Ali rushed towards his garage, igniting the engine. To his disappointment the car wouldn't ignite. He was frustrated, because now he'd have to walk all the way to his High-school, which was a mere 600 meter away, as he reached the school he was all tired, breathing heavily. It was the first time he walked a distance, everyone could tell that. While Ali was relaxing, Bashir struggled to find clothes, as half of his clothes were wet because of the over-night flood. He had tears in his eyes, but didn't want to shed them. His heart was broken, didn't want to show it. Hardheartedly, he picked himself up.. why? Because he had to peek through the window of a school, to learn something. To be a better person than yesterday. Having no funds to help himself get into a school, the most he could do was to walk three kilometers everyday to peek into the class. Many times, he'd get caught by the teachers, or the students but he didn't feel humiliated. Not because he didn't have self respect but because he knew, if they are shouting at him, abusing him today. It doesn't mean they are perfect, or better than him in anyway.

 Examples of Ali and Bashir are as such of the examples of A Garden and a Desert. A sandstorm can destroy a garden, but it gives power to a desert.

Life as we know it.

" Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." - John F Kennedy. It is a known fact that Life, as we know it is never guaranteed. Yet, some people take it for granted. Life goes on, people come people go. Situations turn overhead. One moment you're sad, next you're happy. But we never know what the future holds. The ones living in the past are going to regret it for the rest of their lives. Those who live in the present might miss out on the opportunities in the future, but those who live in the future will gain experience and happiness through it. Yes, there i said it. While a person is living in the future, he not only thinks of him being a greater personality but also of a bright tomorrow, that person knows the value of dreaming, dreaming big.  Yes, he might fail at a certain stage, but then he knows the value of dreaming. Yes, he might fall down trying to reach the heights, but he knows the

2013.. Memories forever.

-

For many, this year (2013) brought happiness, joy and love. But, for me as an individual it came as a reminder. A reminder to make myself a better person. The first day of 2013 began with the tahajud prayers, whilst millions were busy partying. Ahmadi Muslims were busy praising their Lord, thanking him for giving another opportunity to succeed. To make ourselves better. What followed in the coming months were the reminders. In the next 3 months,  Muslim world was all over the place, with Egyptians fighting for freedom, Libyans crying for mercy, Pakistanis killing each other. They all had one thing in common; Arrogance . They had the chance to accept the truth and be a part of the wealthiest community, in form of the sprituality. To come and accept that the truth has prevailed, but they didn't. Rather, they continued torturing Ahmadis. In disguise they were torturing themselves, and their generations to come. On the other hand, the community they were torturing (as they woul

The Syrian War ; Another blame game or Prophecies fulfilled?*

As we live our lives , thousands lose theirs in Syria, the cause? We don't know yet. Many say it is because of another blame game started by the President Obama. I disagree. This (The Syrian War) was seen coming a long time back, when there was no Obama, no Peace prize and ofcouse, no United States of America.  It was seen coming at a time when the human minds couldn't think of what is an atom bomb, or what is a drone missile, it was foretold in the Holy Bible ,  then the Prophet Muhammad and about 120 years ago by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, India. He stated, as i Quote; "  Then there will be a great uprising in the world. That would be the first uprising. Kings will envade kings, there will be so much bloodshed that the earth will be filled with blood. The subjects of all kings will also fight fearfully among themselves. There will be universal ruin and destruction and the centre of all this will be Syria "  (Tadkaratul Mehdi , Part 2 , New Ed. Pg#274)
