Do NOT read!

Weird...There is a warning that says "Do NOT read!" but the human nature as usual tends to go against the tide; hence there you are reading...



It has been a while since I last made a post, therefore, hope you will enjoy & sail with me with the different thoughts that came across my mind while taking all the new shots



My thoughts are scattered lately therefore, excuse my shattered ideas and linking, probably I lost my creativity, or it is just a "weird" phase that I have been going through lately in addition to work pressure



The road is very clear, yet sometimes we tend to deviate away from it for a reason or another.



Getting back on track is a blessing before it is too late and the sun rises from the west



I don't know what makes us sometimes blind and forget, mind & neglect, find & reflect!



We could be this close from the truth, but we don't feel the reality



Until something shocking happens suddenly which gives us a sign to stop



Then you get that clear vision again



And you work to save all the good deeds for a day to come



A day which we are all scared of only mentioning, but we are never scared of facing it!



On that day, there are no u-turns!



Whatever you have built has been built and what has been broken is already broken



No one there to help you!



Because you had a guide & you didn't follow



Life could be sour, however, it is just moments



Moments that we would see in few seconds at the end



What's there, after, is sweeter, however, it is for good



You only have to be patient



And wait


Make sure you preserve whats right in future



And cover up for whats wrong in the past



And flow smoothly with the right tide



Hope you reached safely after my scrambled thoughts



And here is whats for lunch as a form of gratitude for boarding with me, mom-home-made msakhan



And here is a delicious fruit salad as a desert



And last but not least a cup of coffee to digest everything you ate & thought of

A Journey of Thoughts in Pictures

The city is such a fast-moving, complicated, noisy place to live at...



That's why sometimes you need a rope to help you get out of such a place which usually makes you forget the reason of your existence



My journey began with an opened door in the heritage village, one of the nicest places I have ever been to in Dubai.



A place where everything is simple and new but traditional, a place to relax and gain some food for thought.



It made me think that sometimes you are at a corner stone



You might be seeking someone to guide you to choose the right path amongst the many in front of you



If you have so many thoughts and branches



Then putting them in a frame to limit those concerns is a good idea



Hence, you get to think amongst what path to choose



Is it the first?



Then think again if it is the right decision



Maybe it is the second



Afterwards you will still have a doubt about which to choose



So you choose another one



After all the thinking, you reached a closed door



Although you have made a wrong decision by choosing the wrong path, a vase when broken, is not fixable



Nevertheless, the righteous path is the one which gives you the chance to correct your mistakes and accepts your comeback if you repent

Eye

While I was surfing one of the forums during a weekday, I saw a subject entitled "Focus on your car" which asks members to post pictures of their cars, therefore, not thinking of any consequences this could get me into, I thought of sharing a picture of my car, which for your information is not a fancy car at all.


(The Picture I posted with a dirty look of my car)

On the weekend, we planned to go to the desert for fun, Dune Bashing (4x4 cars). I don't know the source of the problem, but my car got damaged, I had to put it in the garage for a period of 1 month and paid a bill of almost 11,000 DHS equivalent to $3,000.


(While Dune Bashing)

Now the subject of my post is that I felt this has happened to me as a matter of envy probably, since I related "posting the picture in a public forum" with "an accident just few days later". I might be right or wrong, however, I have a strong feeling that it was an "evil eye".

Anyways, I remembered something; people think that using an "eye object" such as below & many of its similarities could prevent harm from an envy that is made by an evil eye of a person.



But it is a big No No. This is considered some sort of disbelieving that everything is in the hands of God and believing in an object that could do nothing for you.

Therefore, one of the best solutions to protect ourselves is reading qura'an and the relevant "thikr" that was taught to us by our Prophet PBUH.



I totally submitted to ALLAH with regards to the matter as it is something that he wants to happen for a reason and it is good that it happened to something tangible and not personal. Moreover, I promised my dad to never take my car to the desert anymore. Furthermore, there are other reasons that I have learnt that I would like to keep for myself.

Nevertheless, tonight my dad told me that the insurance company agreed to refund 45% of the amount, I was so happy. And as a matter of gratitude, please feel free to have some of these so-called "baraze2" I have no idea why their called like that!



Adios!

Re Re Re Think

Is there better than a calm secluded dark area to rethink of your life?



Those moments are very great to reorganize your thoughts and reasons for existence



Those moments are of essential importance to reestablish your plans and goals



Those moments are very precious to consider the past to fix the existing flaws and in order not to repeat mistakes in the future hoping for a better person.

قال الفضيل بن عياض

من حاسب نفسه قبل أن يحاسب
خف في القيامة حسابه
وحضر عن السؤال جوابه
وحسن منقلبه ومأبه

ومن لم يحاسب نفسه
دامت حسراته
وطالت في عرصات القيامة وقفاته
وقادته إلى الخزي والمقت سيئاته

وأكيس الناس من دان نفسه وحاسبها وعاتبها وعمل لما بعد الموت واشتغل بعيوبه وإصلاحها
