اللهم إني اسألك أن تستر علي، وتُهذِّب قلبي، وتؤدّب طَبعَي، وتحسّن خُلُقي، وتضبط سلوكي، واسألك أن تشغلني بغاياتٍ تليقُ بدربك، وترزقني حكمة القول، وفَنّ الصّمت، وبلاغة الرَّدّ، وجَلال الحُضور، وجمال الغياب.

Ya Allah, I ask You to cover me, to refine my heart, to discipline my nature, to improve my character, to regulate my behavior, and I ask You to occupy me with goals that are worthy of Your path, to bless me with wisdom in speech, the art of silence, eloquence in response, majesty in presence, and grace in absence.

“Hope it was, Hope I called her.”

Some chapters of life don’t actually have an apparent ending. They just fade away silently.

It’s a strange feeling to look back at the past sometimes and see how some parts of life have simply dissolved into nothingness. And even though this poem might sound sad, I believe that being mindful of the transience of life actually helps us to feel all the preciousness and beauty of it.

لا تبع دينك لأجل احد الدين أغلى من الوطن و الأهل والقبيلة. عندما لم يعد بالأمكان أن يعيشوا بدينهم بين قومهم حملو دينهم و ارتحلوا به.

Do not sell your religion for anybody, religion is dearer than your land, family and tribe. When they couldn’t live with their religion among their people, they carried their religion and migrated with it.
