God created mercy, and spread one part of it among all the mothers on the Earth, the human, the jinn and the animals, that they should love and nurture their young, from the beginning of time until the end. And He saved ninety-nine parts of mercy for Himself to use when judging the children of Adam on the Day of Resurrection.
[Paraphrased statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him]
Every fashion designer is present and all the cameras are ready. But for what? You sit in your chair waiting. Waiting to be swept off your feet. You came to witness perfection, to see perfection at its best. And then it begins...one after another, beautiful women walk before you in designer outfits. You see them in front of you. Don’t you? It’s like a dream come true for you. Is this what you’ve always wanted to do?
I don’t want to know the history of St. Valentine’s Day so much as I would like to know who started it in Pakistan. I do, after all, need someone to blame for the fact that I own exactly 1/7th of Riaz’s heart. It’s not a clerical error. He pledged it to me last year, the whole 1/7th, and I am still waiting for someone to stand accountable for such an absurdity.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, and Blessings and Peace of Allah upon His Prophet and Messenger Muhammad, his Family and all his Companions.
"And hold fast by the covenant of Allah all together and be not disunited, and remember the favour of Allah on you when you were enemies, then He united your hearts so by His favour you became brothers; and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it; thus does Allah make clear to you His communications that you may follow the right way." (Al-Qur'an 3:103)
God has taught man the use of the pen - the means of expression. All people can and do write. Even if it is only letters to friends and family. Everyone has a unique story to tell.
