السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته و مغفرته
Do look around you. I am seeing the world like I have never seen it before..SubhanAlllah!
O Allah, assist me on this journey I am set to take with Your Permission and Protection, and help me to endure the hardships and help me to remember be grateful for the pleasant moments and protect me from the evils I may encounter and from the evils within me.
O Allah, I ask You the best of the request for the best in our supplication, for the best success and the best reward. Stregthen us, make heavier our balance of good, confirm our faith, elevate our ranks, accept our worships, and forgive us for our mistakes, and we ask You for good beginnings, the totality of goodness, from the first to the last, from within and from without, and we ask of You the highest ranks in the Garden.
Oh Allah, Hold us all in Your Hands. Permit us to sit at the foot of Your throne. Let the light of Your presence blaze in our eyes, cleanse our hearts, purify our souls.
Ameen Ya Rabb

Lets Be (Good) Trees!
Trees have always reminded me of life and creation. When I was living in the UK, the four seasons (or almost) showed us the transformative cycle of life.
Autumn was when trees shed their leaves, winter gave the impression that nothing grew on the tree and when spring arrived, new flower buds appeared to blossom in summer. It was said that the trees went into "meditation" in winter to renew itself for spring, although it appeared as though nothing visually happened.
The Quran also used trees for numerous purposes and carried different meanings. One of the many oft-quoted verses is:
"Do you not see how God makes comparisons? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches are high in the sky, yielding constant fruit by its Lord's leave,
God makes such comparisons for people so that they may reflect but an evil word is like a rotten tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, with no power to endure.
God will give firmness to those who believe in the firmly rooted word, both in this world and the Hereafter, but the evildoers He leaves to stray: God does whatever He will." [Q 14:24-27]
Kun kasshajar yurma bilhajar wayu'ti atyabu thamar.
Be like a tree.
When stones are thrown (at it),
the tree replies with fruits.
A hadith, recorded in Sahih Muslim, states that the Prophet Salallahu'alayhi wassalam said that "any Muslim who plants a tree, then whatever is eaten from it is sadaqah (charity) on his behalf; what is stolen from it is also sadaqah; what animals eat from it is also sadaqah; what birds eat from it is also sadaqah; whosoever takes anything from the tree, it is sadaqah (for the one who has planted the tree).

.PALESTINIAN WALKS.
A graffittied wall for peace, Gaza.
Watering the wall of indifference, Shatila Refugee Camp.
A sobering smile of a Palestinian child, Rafah.
No llores, no pierdas la fe!
Kids on the way to school in rural West Bank.
And blooms of hope, spring in Palestine 2007.
A state with people who have hopes and dreams. Who breathe justice and dream freedom. Where little children are born without a homeland but the homeland is born within that child. An occupied state, where the Palestinians will continue fighting until Palestine becomes a state.
Where soldiers are born and heroes die, Allahu Akbar! Where beautiful olive trees are planted. A famous Palestinian poet once said, "If the olive tree knew the hands that planted them, their oil would have become tears."
** "From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country."
