this blog is a museum of my heart

يا رب أوهبنا البدايات الجديدة، والطرق الواضحة، والرفقة الطيبة، والطمأنينة التامة..

The longer one is settled in sin, the more hardened the heart becomes. To the point that if one wishes to quit, one is unable. And whoever becomes weary of sinning, should increase in asking for forgiveness for it, until one’s heart softens from its lengthy settling in sin.

‏طول الإقامة على الذنب تقسي القلب، حتى يتمنى الإنسان الإقلاع فلا يستطيع، ومن عجز عن معصية فليكثر من الاستغفار منها حتى لا يقسو قلبه بطول ذنبه

– Shaykh Abdul Aziz al-Tarefe (May Allah free him)

In today's state of hyperactivity, where boredom is not allowed to emerge, we never reach the state of deep mental relaxation. The information society is an age of heightened mental tension, because the essence of information is surprise and the stimulus it provides. The tsunami of information means that our perceptual apparatus is permanently stimulated. It can no longer enter into contemplation. The tsunami of information fragments our attention. It prevents the contemplative lingering that is essential to narrating and careful listening . . . In the process of digitalization, . . . information acquires an altogether different status. Reality itself takes on the form of information and data. For the most part, we perceive reality in terms of information or through the lens of information. Information is an idea—that is, a re-representation. When reality takes the form of information, the immediate experience of presence withers. When digitalization gives everything the form of information, reality is flattened.

We all think we want the high-stakes friction of enemies-to-lovers or will-they-won’t-they until a show like Pursuit of Jade comes along and reminds us that watching two people actually be good to each other from the get go is surprisingly addictive.
