I obey the order, when He says, 'silence!' I remain silent; For one day that King will explain this in person. ~ 

Rumi

A great silence comes over me, & I wonder why I ever thought to use language.

[Rumi]

Try something different: Surrender!

Another 1st Step

or should I say its probably a big leap for all of us...

Mohammad started his school today - AND he has amazingly adapted to the new environment.. His teacher seemed to be utterly pleased with his smilingly entering the class. Not to boost, but rather to get a hand on the info that how much input we need to give for our child to learn this year, I told her of how much he can already do that includes reading and writing ABC in caps, reading the numbers and writing a few (though he knows much more like shapes, colors, names of different vehicles, but I tried to keep it to that) and she seemed amazed by how much he already knows.. :) and that was a proud feeling for a simple parent like me...

I can't really point how all these 3 years passed, and today he's a big boy taking his first step in the outside world without holding on to my finger.. Insha'Allah, he'll be do splendid - don't know about how a parent should feel but I want him to learn and have fun, 'cause when we look back these are the best years of our lives.

For the rest of the day, from the point we picked him up from the school uptill now that I've to forcefully put him to sleep, he was literally on his toes, running around, playing, humming the poems from the school and just totally in the groove.

I pray he becomes a good person, a gentleman raised in my arms - I pray him to succeed in all his endeavors. Aameen!!

My much concerned child touches my earring,"Mama, they are hurting you. I'll take them off." After a little effort and failing to undo the clip he continues to exclaim,"Mama, you open it. It's hurting your ear."

For all the concern on his face, I wanted to remove the earrings just to see relief in  those disturbed eyes...

*smiles*

A mother loves her child limitlessly, and the child returns the love with all that they have...

When your boy is the youngest in line and still manages to hit all the 3 cones ✨

The essence of truthfulness means that you tell the truth in situations in which only a lie could save you. ~ 

[Imam Junayd al-Baghdadi]

This world is full of remedies. But you have no remedy until God opens a window for you. You may not be aware of that remedy just now. In the hour of need it will be made clear to you. 

The Prophet said God made a remedy for every pain. 

[Rumi]

You are every image, and yet I'm homesick for you.

~ Rumi

Treasures and armies do not make a king. A true king is a king within himself. 

~ Rumi

There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. No matter what people call you, you are just who you are. Keep to this truth. You must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. We live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. No one can help us. So consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life?

~ Shams Tabrizi

My soul is warning me of the doubt in your heart, for doubt in love is a sin.~

[Kahlil Gibran]

"When you have carved out a permanent place for someone within you, then how can you claim you are alone! Doesn't someone resides permanently with you, within you.!?!"

When the Heart weeps for what it has lost, the Soul laughs for what it has found..~

What comes, will go. What is found, will be lost again. But what you are is beyond coming and going and beyond description.

You are It.

~ Rumi

"In God's field of Beauty, 

at the edge of the stream of life, 

I was imprisoned in the cage of laws made by man." ~

[Khalil Jibran]
