- I wonder if it's worth it, winning in this life while losing ourselves !

" أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ أَمْ مَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ" (109)- سورة التوبة
“Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell?”

A great singer who makes you feel that he knows what he's singing about, it's so real to him...
My favorite Greek singer, never fails to squeeze my heart with her experienced voice.....
Although I don't understand a word from what she sings but I like the guy who appears beside her, a humble human being who I guess for those few moments of his life felt that he's special while sitting beside this beautiful woman, he brings another depth to the song....
- He who wants to know, will find a way to know.
- There is no knight coming in shining armor, there is good communication, common interests and an agreement on the purpose of this life, this is what relationships are based on.
- I'm greedy and proud to be when it comes to knowledge.
- If you compare yourself now to what you used to be and find that you have not changed for the better, then what a waste of time it was !
- Be careful of being trapped in your lies.
- God you are my asylum, without you I'm nothing.
- Being crazy in this crazy world, this is what I call adapting :-).
- If the tough lessons we are learning now are because we will need them for the situations we will face in the future then I don’t mind learning them at all, my only fear is that we might forget them and make the same mistakes again and hence it will be our fault.
- Yes.. everybody is worshiping his own God, but still there is a true God and a false one, and I'm not talking about deities only here.
- Each one of us has his own share of naivety.
- Some people think so low of themselves to the extent of not being able to imagine/believe that there is anyone who really cares for them.
- Sometimes human beings degrade themselves until they miss enjoying the merits of their superiority.
- Because of the fact that no one can deny, which is that people lie most of the time, people started taking others' words lightly, thinking that people's words don't mean anything anymore, which is inaccurate, because even the lies mean something ....
- No one likes failure or bad experiences, including me, but the excitement about the new experiences coming up is what turns me on & keeps me going.
- Sometimes we need to be selfish and stop making the choices that harm us.
- You are important, don’t surrender to people who try to make you feel that you aren't, it's only a reflection of how they feel about themselves, don't give them this satisfaction.
- Sometimes on some issues you want to reach a real sealed closure in this world, but who said that this world is the last chance to reach this closure.
- I wish it was possible for us to erase a period of our life, but not the lessons we learnt in it.

و ما الإنسان منا الإ ما يختاره
· لو أني أصغيت إلى صوت الفطرة و تركت البداهة تقودني لأعفيت نفسي من عناء الجدل .. و لقادتني الفطرة إلى الله .. و لكنني جئت في زمن تعقد فيه كل شيء و ضعف صوت الفطرة حتى صار همساً وارتفع صوت العقل حتى صار لجاجة و غروراً و اعتداداً.
· العالم الذي نعيش فيه له وجه ظاهر جميل تتألق فيه العلوم والفنون وأحلام العدالة وحقوق الإنسان ووجه آخر قبيح سفلي تسكنه الشهوات والأطماع والمظالم والأحقاد والشرور و قد تجد في عالمنا العجيب من يستعمل الوجهين ويتقمص الأسلوبين ويتكلم باللسانين فهو ملاك حينما يحتاج الموقف الي الملائكية وشيطان مريد حينما تكون الشيطنة أربح وأكسب وحينما يكون الشر أكثر فائدة.
· تتغير الظروف وتتبدل الملابسات وتمتحن العواطف والاقوال والاعمال ... وتبتلى النفوس فى جواهرها وتتقلب القلوب... وياتى بعد الليل النهار وبعد النهار الليل فنحن على ارض تدور.
· بسجود القلب يتجسد المعنى الباطني العميق للدين ، و تنعقد الصلة بأوثق ما تكون بين العبد و الرب . و بالحس الديني ، يشهد القلب الفعل الإلهي في كل شيء .. في المطر و الجفاف ، في الهزيمة و النصر ، في الصحة و المرض ، في الفقر و الغنى ، في الفرج و الضيق .. و على اتساع التاريخ يرى الله في تقلب الأحداث و تداول المقادير.
· انها الخدعة الأزلية.. تحلم بامتلاك الأرض فإذا بالأرض هي التي تمتلكك و هي التي تكرسك لخدمتها.. تتصور أن المال سوف يحررك من الحاجة فإذا بالمال يفتح لك أبواب مطالب أكثر و بالتالي يلقى إلى احتياج أكثر.. و كلما احرزت مليونا.. احتجت إلى ثلاثة ملايين لحراسة هذا المليون و ضمانه.. و تدور الحلقة المفرغة و لا نهاية. و هذه طبيعة ...عالمنا الكذاب الذي نمتحن فيه. كلنا نعلم هذا.. و مع ذلك لا نتعلم أبدا.
· نحن فى العادة لا نعترف إلا بما نراه ونلمسه .. وهذا غرور . فما أقل مانرى ، وما أقل ماندرى فى هذه الدنيا .
