Rahima Posted June 10, 2005 The word “shams†(Sun) is feminine and “qamar†(Moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the light of our glorious women. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’aala be pleased with them.

Blessed Posted June 10, 2005 ^^Not only dull and boring.. They'd be extinct Rahima, I liked that. Very deep. I was just reading this piece on another site. I hope you like it.. Why Women Cry Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom? "Because I'm a woman," she told him. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's O.K."....... Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?". "All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say...... The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he knew the anser His dear friend told him dont ask Why women cry so easily ask " why God made women cry so easily?" "When God made woman, HE decided she had to be special. HE made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort... HE gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her own children. HE gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without complaining.... HE gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly.... She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.... HE gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.... HE gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.... For all of this hard work, HE also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and ! it is her only weakness.... When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

najma82 Posted June 10, 2005 wow masha-allah that is so true wallah. There was this story that I heard...it goes like this: this guy wanted to be a rich guy so he went and asked this other guy for help. The other guy told him that "if you bring me your mother's heart I will make u the richest person". So he went and killed his mom took her heart out and went his way. While he was on the road, he tripps and fells to the ground...the heart of his mother jumps up and asks him "are you ok my son?" and so the son realizes the mistake he has done, and feels horrible inside, so bad that he wants to commit suicide...and when he is about to do it, the heart speaks up again, saying "no my son don't do it, you've killed me once, don't kill me twice." and that just shows you how much our mothers can love us...u know...no wonder why paradise is under their feet...may Allah forgive our parents. Amin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raxmah Posted June 19, 2005 One of my favourite qoutes/poems. ------------------- If you think you're beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you'd like to win, but think, you can't It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you will lose, you're lost; For out in the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will, It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're outclassed, you are; You've got to think high to rise. You've got to hustle before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
