ONLY ONE BEAUTY CAN HEAL THE HUMAN HEART
TO SEE ALLAH PAINT HIS EARTH`S WORK OF ART:
THE EARLY MORNING SKIES EVERY EYE CAN BEHOLD
WITH ITS SPLASHES OF CRIMSON AND RIBBONS OF GOLD
THE BLACK VELVET CANVAS OF THE DISTANT NIGHT
UNFOLDS ITS TREASURES OF SILVER GEMS FOR OUR DELIGHT!
THE SPARKLING BLUE WATERS THAT RUN FREE THE EARTH`S SURFACE
WHILE CLOUDS ABOVE FORM INTO COTTON BALLS WITH GRACE!
THE AUTUMN LEAVES ON TREES DRESS BROWN,ORANGE AND RED
FALL ONE BY ONE QUILTING THE NAKED SOIL BED!
AND LIKE PETALS TOSSED BY A LOVING HAND
MULTICOLORED FLOWERS DOT EVERY BELOVED HOMELAND!
EVERY FAMOUS ARTIST IS KNOWN BY HIS SEAL
WHEN HE FINISHES HIS WORK TO HIS APPEAL
BUT ONLY ONE CAN BEAT ALL THE REST...
WHEN THE EVENING SUN SETS PINK IN THE WEST
AND AFTER THE RAINS A RAINBOW CROWNS THE SKY!
THESE UNIQUE SEALS DON`T BELONG TO YOU OR I
ONLY ONE HAS THESE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS!
TO CLAIM ALL THESE BREATH TAKING SIGHTS
HE IS THE "ONE AND ONLY" TRUE ARTIST
UNDEFEATABLE IN EVERY SCENIC CONTEST!!!
HOW I LOVE THE CLEAR NIGHTS...!
WITH ITS EMBOIDERY OF SHINNING STARS
TO SLEEP UNDER THE ENCHANTING LIGHT
I`M CLOSE TO HEAVEN AND YET VERY FAR!
HOW I LOVE THE NIGHTS BY THE SEA
WITH THE MOON IN FULL PHASE
HER REFLEXTION PAINTED ON THE WATERS BEFORE ME
SILVER GLITTER SPINKLED ON THE RESTLESS WAVES!
HOW I LOVE THE NIGHTS BY AN OPEN FIRE
WITH THE NATURE AND THE UNIVERSE AS MY WITTNESS
AND WITH THE ASTRALS WHO CONSPIRE
MY SOUL IS AT HOME WITH ALL THIS GREATNESS!
HOW I LOVE THE NIGHTS IN THE OPEN HILLS
WITH THE SCENT OF DAMP EARTH AND WILD MUSK
TO BREATH IN THE PEACE IN ALL THIS STILLNESS
AND JOIN IN PRAYER WITH THE BIRDS AT DUSK!
HOW I DO LOVE THE NIGHTS...!
WITH ALL ITS MYSTERY, BEAUTY, AND SPLENDOR
BEHOLD "SOPHAN ALLAH" WHAT A SIGHT!!
ALL PRAISE AND WORSHIP FOREVER I RENDER!!

1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. Allah will listen if you only speak.
2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.
5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. If it was not earned or given, it is not yours.
6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth - whether it be people or plant.
7. Honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.
8. Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.
9. All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.
10. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. Practice optimism.
11. Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. They are part of your worldly family.
12. Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.
13. Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.
14. Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of ones will within this universe.
15. Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual self, Emotional self, and Physical self - all need to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
16. Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.
17. Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others - especially sacred and religious objects. This is forbidden.
18. Be true to yourself first. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.
19. Respect others religious beliefs. Do not force your belief on others.
20. Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity.
ONE NIGHT I DREAMED I WAS WALKING ALONG THE BEACH WITH GOD.MANY SCENES FROM MY LIFE FLASHED ACROSSED THE SKY. IN EACH SCENE I SAW FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. SOMETIMES THERE WERE TWO SETS AND OTHER TIMES THERE WAS ONLY ONE SET.
I NOTICED DURING THE HARDEST TIMES OF MY LIFE WHEN I WAS SUFFERING FROM PAIN, SORROW, OR DEFEAT I SAW ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS AND I ASKED TO GOD: "YOU PROMISED ME THAT IF I FOLLOWED YOU, YOU WOULD WALK WITH ME ALWAYS BUT I NOTICED DURING THE MOST DIFFICULT TIME OF MY LIFE THERE ARE ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND! WHY WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST, YOU WERE NOT THERE FOR ME??·
AND GOD REPLIED: " I LOVE YOU AND WILL NEVER NEVER LEAVE YOU,AND DURING YOUR TIMES OF SUFFERING AND TRIALS,WHEN YOU SAW ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU IN MY ARMS"
TEARS
FROM OUR SOULS COME OUR TEARS
UNWRITTEN WORDS THAT DEFINITELY EXPRESS
SOMETIMES OUR INNER MOST FEARS
FEELINGS OF JOY OR ALSO DEEP SADNESS!
SILENT WORDS BORN FROM WITHIN
NEVER WE SHOULD OURSELVES BLAME
IT`S A GREAT BLESSING NOT A BIG SIN
TO WEEP I FEEL IT`S NO HUMAN SHAME!!
SOME THINK IT SILLY AND EVEN NOT SO
BRAVE
TO SHED A FEW TEARS MEANS ONLY WEAKNESS
SO APPROPRIATE ONLY WHEN INFRONT OF A
GRAVE
SO FEW KNOW THE MEANING OF ITS GREATNESS!
IT`S A SIGN THAT WE ARE REALLY ALIVE
SENSITIVE TO ALL THAT SURROUNDS US
AWARE OF THE VICTORIES AND MISTAKES
IN OUR LIFES
UNDERSTANDING OTHERS IN THEIR PAIN
AND LONELINESS!
DON`T BE AFRAID TO LET TEARS FLOW
TO CRY YOU SET YOUR SOUL FREE
LET THE CHILD INSIDE YOU KNOW
RETURN TO INNOCENCE CAN BE EASY!!

UNFOLDING THE ROSEBUD
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they fade and die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only the Almighty Allah knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
FORGIVE ME
FORGIVE ME GOD WHEN IN MY HEART
I HAVE THOUGHT WRONG
WHEN I HAVE BEEN WEAK AND NOT
VERY STRONG!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I HAVE MY DOUBTS
WHEN I`M SAD AND FEEL I WANT TO SHOUT!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I DO DESPAIR...
AND I QUESTION IF LIFE IS REALLY FAIR!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I HAVE BEEN RUDE
AND I COMPLAIN IN A BAD MOOD
FORGIVE ME WHEN I NOT COUNT MY BLESSINGS
AND FORGET YOU HAVE GIVEN ME EVERYTHING!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I NOT REMEMBER TO
TRUST YOU
AND I WORRY IF WHAT I ASK WILL COME TRUE!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I FEEL I´M NOTHING
AND WHEN I HAVE DENIED ANOTHER SOMETHING!
FORGIVE ME WHEN I HAVE TURNED AWAY
TO INJUSTICE AND NOT A WORD I SAY
FORGIVE ME WHEN I HAVE BEEN SELFISH
AND THINK ONLY IN WHAT I WISH!
PRONOUNCE YOUR HOLY NAME I`M NOT WORTHY!!
FORGIVE I ONLY PRAY THE HUMAN IN ME
MOLD ME I PLEAD IN YOUR DIVINE WAY
LIKE THE POTTER WITH THE CLAY!!

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant have their story.Be yourself especially do not feign affection neither be cynical about love for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.Take kindly the council of the years and gracefully surrendering the things of youth,Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe.No less than the trees and the stars!! you have a right to be here
Whether or not it is clear to you no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.Therefore be at peace with Allah.Whatever your aspirations and labors in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.With all its sham,drudgery and broken dreams it is still a BEAUTIFUL WORLD...STRIVE TO BE HAPPY!!!!
