How many times have you heard comments that suggest someone else is in charge of your destiny?

"America controls the media"

"they don't like us"

"The Israelis control everything"

or even comments such as "the kuffar media".

Add to that talk about freemasons, the illuminati and any other group which is supposed to either control the world or have grand plans to control the world.

I am sure you have all heard of something along those lines.

There is one thing all taht talk has in common - and its not that it is all true.

The thing in common is that it all makes us weak.

It takes the power of action out of our hands.

Instead of doing something to fix any problems, it allows us to throw up our hands as if things are not in our control.

Peace is a question is the answer occupation?

Killing little children does it give them liberation?

preach equality while your soldiers oppress a nation

What would your heart say if you had to face them

Leave the legacy of death in the soil of the earth

Play life like a game like we’re blind to it’s worth

Here they leave flowers for the dead in the cemeteries.

Imagine civilians deaths & not knowing if they were buried.

We treat life like a game like we’re blind to the pain

When millions still fight for their right to remain

In their homes as they go down with the rain

Cus bombs fall everyday from their military planes

That swarm in their skies and are ending their lives

And you can witness the fear that lives in their minds

Dedicated to: Suhail (for helping me out with the rhyming words! Thanxz)

My ink is running wild on the paper,

My eyes are flooding with tears

It’s almost as though, the pain in my heart is afraid to face its fears.

I can’t see what I’m writing,

And my paper is covered in blotches

The candle that is lit by my side

Seems not to recognise my bruises

Its wit is wilted and black

As for me, I feel the same

Can it be that something so sad starts

Tearing your insides, and feeding on your pain.

When my eyes are dried and my tears are long gone

I look down at my paper and see what I have done.

The paper is dark and sweaty from my damp and clammy hands

My pen is wet and slimy from that I can understand.

As I turn out the candle and let my thoughts drift away,

Question:

How can we combine between memorizing the Noble Qur’an and seeking knowledge?

Answer:

Start with the Qur’an, reading it and perfecting its recitation. If you accomplish this –may Allah aid you in seeking knowledge- this is a great bounty from Allah upon you. The Qur’an will be ease for the one who (sincerely) wants it, for verily, Allah The Most High says, “And We have indeed made the Qur’an easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?” [Al-Qamar: 17]
