    somewhere, there is no pain
    where no one hurts
    where you footprints upon the soil
    are not burdens
    but stories
    somewhere where tears
    are only happy
    and love is the only rule
    in a land, a world
    of no rules
    where everything is fluid
    and your heart flows like a river
    a road into her smile
    a million little thoughts
    gathered for our single, infinite
    final, fantastically vast
    moment
    where beauty is no longer frustrating
    because the world is no longer ugly
     
    I long to go there

    Nadir got a reaction from Faruk in Why did companions not follow Ali bin Abi Talib?   
    I didn't give "the sincere lovers of truth" a label. I didn't say they were twelvers or non twelvers. Nor did I say the lovers of truth are the group that contains the fewest followers. A sincere lover and follower of truth can be found anywhere, in any group. And when such a person expresses the truth, chances are they will be condemned and marginalised by the majority. 
    Brother, I was merely mentioning a historical trend. Whether that condemns your beliefs is your problem. I can't care less if you agree or not, but the vast majority of us are sheep.

    Nadir got a reaction from enigma313 in Men's interpretation of 'right' and 'wrong' hijab?   
    salaam.
    hijab is more than just how a woman dresses. unfortunately, that's what it's been reduced to. hijab, in fact, is far more. it is a way of conducting oneself in a manner that befits an individual's dignity, male or female. hijab is about appropriate social interaction. it's about preserving masculinity and femininity. it's about emphasizing one's power by hiding it until it is necessary to display it. for example, we often talk about the strength of a woman's words when standing up to a tyrant.
    look at sayyeda zaynab: she embodied every principle of hijab. in doing so, she also had the power to withhold and display her strength as a woman. had it not been for her, imam sajjad would have been martyred in karbala as well. in sham, she stood before yazid and belittled him to such an extent that he would have displayed his lack of manhood if he ordered imam sajjad to be executed. a muhajjabah is a flagbearer of Islam but also a ferocious lion. 
    sometimes we talk about hijab as a way for a woman to protect herself against idiotic men. honestly, the majority of men will always be idiots, which might be the reason why hijab is commanded upon men in the quran before it is on women. a man who observes hijab makes the women around him feel safe. a man who observes hijab defends a woman's right to dignity. he stands for an ideal and a principle that ought to have remained constant from the very beginning of humankind's history, but is, unfortunately, increasingly eroded on a daily basis.
     
    i feel that the reduction of hijab to a simple garment covering a woman's head not only enforces the perception of islam being oppressive on women, but it is also a tactic employed by the enemies of islam to corrupt the religion and increase its attack on human dignity in order to move society away from divine ideals that empower us to stand up against injustice and oppression, and, of course, to stop ourselves from becoming worse than animals.

    are you talking specifically about the muslims at large or the main ones? if it's the latter, some were instigated, some held grudges, some were jealous, some were power-hungry, and some were simply hypocrites - they sought to infiltrate the religion and destroy it from the inside.
     
    if you're asking about the muslims at large, well, the sincere lovers of truth have always been a minority man.

    how lucky is the beast
    that he gallops through harsh terrain
    refusing to be conquered although his struggle
    will end in defeat
    how cryptic are the signs of the past
    that we make the same mistakes as the dead
     
    how torn is the muslim
    he is raised in peace while the land 
    of his prophet
    burns 
     
    kings forbid us to kiss his grave
    their palestinian blood-lipstick marked on the cheeks
    of beer drinking politicians
     
    how hard is it to reconcile two extreme allegiances
    the muslim stands in a desert in the south
    surrounded by land mines and abandoned tanks
    rusted, made infernal by a descending, finite sun
     
    backward, progressive, primitive, modern
    developing, developed, civilised, savage
    interests forever in conflict
    definitions on opposite ends of an infinite straight line
    ideas living as neighbours
    one's good, another's evil
     
    the grey's lack of spine renders its words 
    useless

    By the infinite notebooks that I fill to be free
    The prayers engraved on my body
    The pages of God clothing my being
    By the nights I spend awake crying for Husayn and Ali
    The prostration of Sajjad and the hypocrite's soliloquy
    By the miles manifested on the callused soles of tired devotees
    By the forevered moments of restlessness
    By the blood shed in a million eternities
    By the illusions of lovers and the dragging music of emasculated slaves
    By the anger of the birds whose stones pierced pachyderms
    By the forced patience of souls who cannot understand why their prayers remain unanswered
    By the sinner who sins and regrets, and sins, and regrets, and sins, and regrets
    By the burning fires that strip away flesh until there is only light
    By the severity of justice that infinitely peels skin to reveal infinite mercy
    By the nuanced supplications of saints with severed heads that save insincere snakes from their own paralysing poison
    By God!
    Tell me what I am worth!
    By the thought and word that said Be! And I became
    By His tenderness that cupped my frame
    Like water of the euphrates in the palms of the Moon!
