My secret garden

My secret garden is a perfect world.
I created this secret garden myself.
There is water if I am thirsty.
I pick the fruits from the trees whenever I want to eat.
There is fresh air, green meadows, high mountains, colored birds who sing their tune, fish in the clean ponds, streams, rivers, and oceans.
In my secret garden are peace, justice, and freedom a matter of course.
Nobody can drive me out of this paradise because no one knows the place of my secret garden and nobody has the k

Are you Future Ready?!!!  

as we are near to 2020, there are lots of new development, new technologies and so on..

Are we ready for it?  as for me i am not yet ready.  It seem unbelievable that is near 2020.  

Now more company move toward to the technologies with more faster work and faster result.  It might be scary because workers like us might not be needed.  Only selected people with more knowledge might be choosen. Dont be surprised one day the machine take over human works. Its already half w

I recently read an interesting article. It said that Facebook, Inc. announced that they are developing a system with which things we think can be changed into characters and we can display them on terminal devices without typing anything on a keyboard. This method to read what a human think doesn't involve implanting some devices into the human brain, but they are detachably attached to close to the head. They aim to input 100 characters into the terminal device per minute in the future and this

A DAY IS NOT A DAY WITH OUT YOU

How’s the life take a blastic turn?

We have never ever thought since before.

It has become a mystery, what has happened,

That I would become a fickle with u like that!

For God sake do your justice, and make me pardon,

This will be your everlasting favor.

In the possession of your Lard!

I have handed over you all my life and heart,

And there is no brag in my saying.

The bending tears are scrolling my story,

Don’t get these humble tears only simple wat

NEVER SAY GOOD BYE FOREVER

Else we will spaced out so far but!

The glint of our haunting memories

Will knock you at night,

As like stars glint in dark sky,

It will make you lost from yourself.

You will try to show off yourself the busiest one,

And try your best to flee from these memories.

That the endure has distorted,

It will gulp down all the memories

But it will never happen.

Somewhere in the cold endure of your heart!

Frozen memories will strike you

Like the windy waves of December!

I knew it since the first time. I knew I was going to do it sooner or later. I didn’t find the strength to talk about this till now. Perhaps in this language, in this foreign tongue that it is not mine, I can say it easily. But wait, no, I didn’t kill her literally. I killed her when I left her. Not because I’m the best man on earth, the most beautiful, intelligent, nor even the best option for her, but because she loved me so much that she couldn’t believe it. Eleven years together. I definitel

Allah’s (God’s) strange creation………. human, so strange, so deep in nature.  Sometimes so deep like the ocean, full of suspense.  Sometimes, some facts of their 'nature' look like crystal clear pond.  On the other hand, some of their sides are opaque, hidden in the fog of suspense.  And when they are revealed, a lot of time has been elapsed.  Either we get forward ahead, or they have left us behind.  In relationships, if there is no transparency, but so much opaqueness that we could not see anyth

"Religion is based ... primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown, and partly ... the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear is the basis of the whole thing-fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand-in-hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can

I am fed up with the negative narrative feed into Islamic discourse on media where few Islamic scriptures are misinterpreted  and  linked them to extremism or terrorism. Sadly to say the scholars invited on media like CNN and BBC can't answer their queries  with reference to context of this Hadith (saying of Muhammad peace be upon him). I have come across a debate on Islam where someone quoted the Hadith that  it is legitimate to kill someone who decided to leave Islam.

Picture by Leslie Anneliese

A majestic bird with golden plumage landed on a rock in front of the ocean.  A tiny fish poked out his head, drawn by the beauty of the bird.

With haughtiness the bird began to speak:

B:   Have you ever been in the blue sky?

F: No, I haven't, but I have been in the blue and fascinating ocean full of life and mystery.

B: Have you ever touched the stars?

F: No, I haven't, but I have touched the brightest reefs on earth full of light and color.

B: Have you ever da

 Today is my mother's birthday. I planned to make a surprised for her. This evening, I called my father and told him what I had planning for my mom's birthday. On that time, my mom was not at home.

THE BENCH

THAT TOUGH COLD WINTER passed taking with it those elongated nights and shortened days of light, melting with a beam of sunshine the last whitish snowflakes over the tight grass.

On a lonely corner was “the bench”….while dawning she opened her “ears” listening to a tender song of a small sparrow perching on a slight branch.

Lengthening her wooden arms, still yawning she opened her dazzled eyes. With a blurred vision she saw a colorful bouquet of newly budded flowers, two straight trees lo

It's very sad to know that preparing grade in my country destroys our kids minds, deprives them of living their childhood and prohibits them from acquiring their cultural heritage, such as Arabic.
Could you imaging that this grade only teaches about 20 key words of the mother tongue in the whole year?! The rest is nothing but exersices, exersices and more exersices witch do not teach kids neither time nor places or experiances!!
Kids don't need school tools under seven years old, they only need
