Ramazan Mubarak!

Here again in Holy month of Ramadan I wanted to wish every Friend and to their family's Ramadan Mubarak. May Allah (swt) grant you a peaceful and successful Ramazan.

May this month allow us to reflect not only on the Umma but the entire creation and all the wonderful blessings of Allah (swt). May we strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm in our faith. May we use our faith as a catalyst to project Islam into action and bring about a lasting peace throughout mankind.

May we be willing to stand up against wickedness and repel evil with good in all forms. May we remember the example of the Prophet (saw) and utilize the best of manners when dealing with those who are different from us. May we exemplify the revelation of Allah (swt) in all our daily routines. I ask that Allah (swt) grant us the strenth to repel the whisperings of the Shaitan.

Amen!

Love, Separation, Pain!

“There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It is caused by the absence of you.” This is quoted by a famous artist in his life diary, thinking about the phrase mind goes to the past. Artist is true on this, missing some one especially when the time of separation pains a lot. I had same experience a year ago…. Existence of an unpredictable separation makes the life worse for days. This is normal for everyone’s life. Everyday number of people experience same pain all over in their life. My mind pins to one point reading the phrase….. “Yes its true….Separations hurts”

Coping with separation especially when you are in love can be one of the hardest experiences life hands us. Although the circumstances of separation for a short time are difficult, the hope of the person’s return makes the separation much easier for us to handle. However the intense emotional pain that comes along with it is very difficult to overcome.

For those who say that separation is easy, they don’t really know what it is to love someone. It’s a bold statement, but trusts me, through distance, your heart really does grow fonder, through the thousands of miles of separation, and you realize that you are missing something. Life goes on without them by your side… The mornings will greet you and the nights might bid you to sleep... and yet, the sweetness of the morning breeze… and the sparkle of the night air is not the same...There will be a feeling of something missing... emptiness…. you just wish like having the most hectic days of life... Because it gives you a chance to fill a void that is always present within you but …as the day slows down… the memory of your love catches up... and the longing of this aching heart begins to creep up within …and the hope that someday both will be together again is the only thing that keeps you going.

It is the distance that makes life a little hard. But then again distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be.

If you have ever been infatuated, you would have realized that infatuation is weakened by time and separation where real love is strengthened by time and separation. This does not mean that there will be no pain in separation. On the contrary, there is great pain in separation if you are truly in love. As I have realized from personal experience the greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.
