Little things with great love - 1

Sunflower during Sunset

It was dusk. The sky turned crimson red. I headed towards masjid to offer magrib prayer. I saw an extremely old man. He had a slouch body and stick in his hand. My eyes were fixed on him. I gazed at his twinkling eyes that concealed thousands of sagas, explanations, regrets and memories.


We finished our magrib prayer and I was sitting behind the old man. I watched his trembling hands reaching towards the dusty shelf where the holy book of Allah And other Islamic text were kept. 


I wondered how the tiny eyes with blurred vision could read a book. How could he hold such a heavy book with his soft hand?


Meanwhile, another hand reached towards the shelf and he took hold of the book. The man took a chair and sat beside the old man. He opened the marked chapter. Not only he read but explained every single line. The man threw his hands on air as he explained him the rules and regulations of ‘salah’ that was written on the book. I continuously gazed at his generosity.


I saw the old man. The smile on his face festooned like a star in the sky.Finally, the chapter ended with a beautiful pause but the chapter of kindness has just begun.

The martyred groom - Hanzalah [RA]

-
One of the most beautiful phase of life is when you are young and married. Everything feels so complete and promising. This particular period of life seems to be so pleasant. Happiness encompasses from every nook and corner and sorrow vanishes leaving no trail behind. Unlike the marriage of Hanzalah [RA] . .  He was a man who gave up his life in the battle of Uhud   despite being newly married. He was Hanzala bin Abu Amir. His father, Abu Amir was a monk and an enemy of Islam. [he was also nicknamed al-fasiq which means an evildoer.] He was among the Makkan polytheist during the time of battle of Uhud.] As soon as he heard about the fray, He set out his way directly to the battle of Uhud. He left his wife's bed to wrestle in the battle.  He made his way through their [polytheists] ranks till he reached the leader Abu Sufyan. He had nearly killed him but he was destined to be a martyr. No sooner the clock had taken its next breath, Hanzala [RA] w...

"MEN WHO ARE AFRAID" -nazeefwrites

Men who are afraid   nazeef-writes To those men who does not stop themselves to smell flowers for they are too busy in climbing mountains. To those men who are afraid to show their emotions for the fear of losing their masculinity. My words are for those who always keep themselves occupied in order to finish their target. I dedicate my ink to those men who are afraid to cry out loud. I give my voice to those who are choking themselves day and night. Men who are afraid to watch the sunset of their lives. Men who are afraid to climb mountains or swim in oceans. Men who are been crushed. Men who are being rejected, dejected and dethroned. Men suffering from diseases. Men who gave up their passion. Men who lost their true companions. Men who are afraid of being unique or different. Men who want to try. Men who want to fly. Men who are afraid to perform. Men whose voices have not gained momentum. Men who are afraid of commitments. Men who are afraid of showing litt...

Spend time with yourself-NazeefWrites

Spend time with yourself -NazeefWrite I have developed a habit to go for a walk after Isha prayer. The cold chilly nights offers me a great rejuvenation. I developed this habit after I felt my schedule getting tighter and to-do-list growing longer. I found myself drowning into the ocean of tension and anxiety. I wanted a space where I will have no one to talk to or share with. All I needed was some ‘me –time’. After I finish performing the last congregational prayer of the day, I swiftly walk towards the ‘zaliye road’. It is a beautiful way with few travelers to step on its back. Most of the time it is enveloped with silence. This is the only time where I feel to ask questions about myself. I interrogate. I resolve some issues during the process. I design projects in my mind and I mull about the writings of great authors. Sometimes, I also plan for the next day. Maulana Abul kalam Azad used to wake up early and spent some time researching the verdicts of great scholars. St...
