poeticislam:

Hate no one, no matter how much they’ve wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you’ve been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love. [Ali Ibn Abi Talib (r.a)]

my heart belongs to..


My happiness is my imaan, my imaan is in my heart and my heart doesn’t belong to anyone except Allah.

to not forgive..

On the authority of Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) related:

A man said: By Allah, Allah will not forgive So-and-so. At this Allah the Almighty said: Who is he who swears by Me that I will not forgive So-and-so? Verily I have forgiven So-and-so and have nullified your (own good) deeds.

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves and the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem."

Wipe the blood away from your eyes

Reclaim your mind

Reclaim your spine

Sure there was time,

There was more wasted then seconds gone

But that’s the kind of confession we leave to inebriation

It’s the kind of wound you claim

When you realize you made more love in admiration

There was more healing in leaving then being held.

Get greedy

Love yourself the way you love them.

The way you look ceaselessly for entrances.

And opening is no task,

It is joy.

I Live in Subtraction by June Jordan

my June.. rest in peace dear soul

“… I live in subtraction.
I forget your name.
I forbid my heart its mind.
I forgive my mind its dream.
I can end a dream with death.”
