Ajit Johnson is a Ph.D. student. Whenever he wants to take a break from discovering the ultimate cure for cancer, he likes to tell stories via art to spread love and hope. "It was one of those unproductive days when I realised that I look at my phone or open web pages far too long than needed, which inspired me to take up a challenge of not using my phone for a day. It was extremely difficult, but very soon I realised, how much more productive I can get and how much time I had which I thought ne

Today I wanted to write about a man who, like Hussain, serves as an example for us in our daily lives. History is full of inspirational figures, but rarely do we see an entire family of piety. Hussain’s father Ali taught him the morals and values that are spoken about at length on this website. So let me tell you about Ali…

The ruler who extinguished a candle

The man was the ruler of a large domain, with great power at his disposal.  Yet despite the undoubted influence he wielded, he always demonstrated humility and an acute sense of right and wrong.

One day, the man was set at work.  A candle lit, he sat to undertake government business.  Two men arrived, informing the ruler they wished to consult him.  The ruler beckoned them in. Before proceeding, though, he extinguished his candle and lit another.

She hadn’t gone out for a date for a long time. She had a funny thought that she was immune to men already.  One day, Shelly went to an amusement park with her friend, Lily.

I know it is unhealthy, but when I can't take it anymore I just listen to Muse and The Corrs. I feel so alone and left behind. It's so hard to meet my friends. Maybe if my family forgives me I will change but once again please let me be myself so I don't have to fight my anger. Mind your own business...
