Close your eyes for a minute
Close your eyes for a minute and think how it would feel to have no sight. Then thank Allah Most High for the priceless gift; Alhamdulillah!
I am proud to be a slave of Allah
I am proud to be a Muslim, and more importantly, I am proud to be a Slave of Allah! Subhanallah (Praise be to God). Born a Muslim, die a Muslim, Muslim for life In sha Allah (God-Willing), Ameen! I love to lead a simple life because I love simplicity. My strife in life is to become a better person, and my most dearest wish is to die as a true Muslim, with complete faith in Allah! [S.C]
True beauty is found in a believing woman
Make up is not the secret to the beauty of a woman, because nothing would beautify her face more than shyness. Nothing would make her face brighter than Taqwah (God-consciousness). Nothing would get people's respect more than purity. Nothing would raise her status more than chastity. True beauty is not found in a beautiful face, but real beauty is found in the pure soul of a Muslimah (A believing woman!)
Give your heart to God
I gave my Heart to the Dunya (This World) and the Dunya repaid me with sorrow and restlessness. I gave my Heart to Allah (God) and He repaid me with content and joy!
Entertain your lord
Abdullâh b. Mubârak (Allah have mercy on him) said:
I asked Sufyân Al-Thawrî, “When a man stands to pray, what should he intend by his recitation and prayer?” Sufyân Al-Thawrî replied, “He should intend that he is personally entreating his Lord!”
I asked Sufyân Al-Thawrî, “When a man stands to pray, what should he intend by his recitation and prayer?” Sufyân Al-Thawrî replied, “He should intend that he is personally entreating his Lord!”
Make your prayer longer
When intending to do something good, do not delay it until tomorrow. When involved in something to do with the hereafter, keep yourself involved as long as you can. When involved in some worldly matter, put your mind to it (so as to get it done). And if you are praying and Satan whispers, ‘You are showing off,’ then make your prayer even longer. [A student of Ibn Masud and Ali]
Be a firm believer
One should get used to the idea that if everyone on earth disbelieved, you would not disbelieve. [Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd]
COUNTDOWN TO GREATNESS
The knowledge not of sorrow, you were saying, but of boredom
Is--aside from reading speaking smoking--
Of what, Maude Blessingbourne it was, wished to know when, having risen,
"approached the window as if to see what really was going on";
And saw rain falling, in the distance more slowly,
The road clear from her past the window-glass--
Of the world, weather-swept, with which one shares the century.
--George Oppen, from Discrete Series

Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue
I went to a cobbler
To fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face
And said, "I can fix that hole in you"
I beg your pardon
I'm not looking for a cure
Seen enough of my friends
In the depths of the godsick blues
You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar
Because I've been down to Dixie
And dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land
Until enough was enough
I was a little bit lighter
And adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk
And looking for company
So I found myself a sweetheart
With the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love
But I'd do it all again
We build ourselves a fire
We build ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
And you don't know what I've done
By the rolling river is
Exactly where I was
There was no simple cure
For unlucky in love
To be lonely is a habit
Like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both
But man, was it rough
Now I am tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire
