There, I realized, there was someone who was with me all my life, but I just didn’t know! Someone who had never left me from the beginning, but I hadn’t paid any attention to him. Someone whose name I had heard before and it was posted on the walls, printed on the books & … it was everywhere in that party I had gone, but I guess I hadn’t been really looking deeply.

Now I have found this most beautiful reality that he is the best of all friends who is with me all the time, he is always concerned about me, he has the two most beautiful and heavenly kind eyes that always watch me. When I am sad, he becomes sad too, when I'm happy, he is too …

It doesn’t matter whether it’s morning or night, midday or midnight, he doesn’t care, always and always he is there! You can talk to him whenever and wherever you want! He appreciates your kindness, and he is super kind to you whether you appreciate it or not!

He sees us and prays for us all the time, he is after our true happiness, our salvation, guidance and blissfulness. He is loving and kind even if we aren’t!

If you feel gloomy, you can talk to him easily. He doesn't care who you are, black or white, man or woman, young or old, rich or poor, pretty or not, …, and of course he never ever says: "I don’t have time!" A friend who is really a friend! He is whom God has made to be His people’s refuge, in whom they can find true peace of mind, and God Himself wants us to ask for his help.

He is so great that if Allah Wishes, he can solve any problem, because he is the infallible Imam and Allah's representative on His earth. The infallible Imam is not out of reach. He doesn’t have a receptionist or a doorman; whenever you decide, whenever you run short of hope from everywhere and everyone. Whenever you want, without any previous appointment or a mediator, you can talk to him.

Try opening your heart and tasting his sweet friendship, he is wonderful, it's never too late, talk to him any way you wish, in any language you converse …

I LOVE YOU IMAM MAHDI …

Later in college I was still searching for that special friend, but didn’t find whom I was looking for. There, every one made friends either to have a good time, or to achieve personal benefits, or to secure their financial future, or … . In a word, most of that period’s friendships were quite superficial and nothing more.

When I married, I thought I found my other half. Although I love him a lot, but after a while I realized that no, he wasn’t that super special someone either! He too, just like me, felt that some thing was missing.

In this complicated life, sometimes you feel that you don’t even want to be around those closest to you; you feel that they just don’t always really understand and have the answers. You know, we all need some one to talk to, someone we can trust to pour our hearts out to, someone who understands all corners of our mind, someone who has a big heart yet is very intelligent, someone sincere and benevolent who only wants the best for us, and not only that, but someone who knows what’s best for us better than ourselves, someone who doesn’t misunderstand or misjudge, as they say, a real good friend, a super listener, someone who’s there all the time …; someone whom I hadn’t yet found.

For pouring your heart out, you can’t set a time; you just want to talk to someone any time you feel heavy in your heart, you want to empty your aching heart. Then if there is no one there, you feel that you want to scream!

Same thing happened to me ... I wanted to scream: O my God! Is there anyone who can help me?

I mean, can I find someone who will always be my faithful friend?

I mean, is there someone listening to me whenever I want?

I was dying for such a real friend, but everyone was telling me: "we’ve searched, there wasn’t any, Do not search, there’s none.”

In the middle of all these confusions, I was invited to a party by someone I knew. Even though I wasn’t in the mood to go but because of his persistence, I went.

A Sweet Story

2010-04-08T11:23:00.002+04:30

I want to tell you a story which began in my childhood:

When I was a kid my toys were my friends. I used to talk with them and tell them my secrets, believing that they could really hear me. When I was upset and crying I used to grab and hold them tight so that I might forget all my sorrow. But when I got a little older, I realized that they were not hearing me! I mean they were not able to hear me. In the depth of their eyes, there was no emotion. I had lost my intimate companions.

When I started school I was so happy that among all those kids I was able to find someone to play and talk with easily, becoming his best friend, and he, my best friend. I thought there was no one in the world better than him. I had found whom I wanted.

But when we fought over childish matters and stopped talking to each other then I realized, no! He was not whom I had been looking for either.

… Later when I started junior high, I found a new best friend. But when he thought a group of guys -whom he thought that they were very cool- might let him in their circle, he left me … It was from then, that I felt a very lonely emptiness in my soul.

Then I started high school. From the very early months someone caught my attention. Considering her behavior and studies, she was a good girl. We became friends and we still are.

Although I like her a lot but I have realized that I can not really rely on her as a refuge. Many times, even though she may have wanted, but she hasn’t had the time to be there for me or to just listen to me, some times she doesn’t even have the time to answer my text messages!

… AND MOHAMMAD (PBUH&HP) CAME ...

2010-03-06T08:07:00.004+03:30

… And this old earth was going through the darkest and longest night it had ever experienced, and humankind, his bleakest season of loneliness. The burning chests of the deserts of forgetfulness were longing for a reviving drop of water. The garden of the world, from the violent winds of human sins, had been reduced to a dreadful ruin…

"At that time people had fallen in to vices whereby
the rope of religion had been broken,
the pillars of belief had been shaken,
…
guidance was unknown and darkness prevailed.
God was being disobeyed.
Satan was given support
and Belief had been forsaken.
As a result, the pillars of religion fell down, its traces could not be discerned, its passages had been destroyed and its streets had fallen into decay. People obeyed Satan and tread his paths. …"

Suddenly the heavenly breeze of love opened the Ever-Promised window of celestial hope towards the magnificent horizon of everlasting blissfulness. Light started to flow in the veins of life. The ocean of Divine Mercy presented its most beloved and precious gem to the shore of human life. The brightness of this gem brightened all broken hearts and distressful minds … .

"Allah sent him (Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) with the illustrious religion, effective emblem, written Book, effulgent light, sparkling gleam and decisive injunction in order to dispel doubts, present clear proofs, administer warning through signs and to warn of punishments." (Hadrat Ali (PBUH) , Nahj-Ol-Balaaghah, second Sermon)

… AND MOHAMMAD (PBUH&HP) CAME

In the same Sermon, the Amir-Ol-Mo'menin (PBUH) mentioned the AhlulBayt (PBUT):

"They are the trustees of His (Allah's) secrets, shelter for His affairs, source of knowledge about Him, centre of His wisdom, valleys for His books and mountains of His religion. With them Allah straightened the bend of religion's back and removed the trembling of its limbs … None in the Islamic community can be taken at par with the Progeny of the Prophet (Aal of Muhammad). One who was under their obligation can not be matched with them. They are the foundation of religion and pillar of Belief. The forward runner has to turn back to them while the follower has to overtake them. They possess the chief characteristics for vicegerency. In their favour exists the will and succession (of the Prophet). This is the time when right has returned to its owner and diverted to its centre of return."

O' the All-Loving Allah!

Again … in the garden of songs, love is forsaken and forgotten.

O' the Compassionate and Merciful Allah!

We implore You in the name of Your most beloved, Hadrat Mohammad (PBUH&HP), to hasten the Emergence of his Mahdi (PBUH), so that it may be announced universally:

AND MOHAMMAD, THE LAST INFALLIBLE SON OF MOHAMMAD, (PBUT) HAS COME …

To the dearest father,

When you are not, it is always winter!
no Norouz, nor a new day!
When you are not, I have no happy day!
no Norouz, nor a new day!

When you are not, all is always the same!
all winter, old boring days!
When you are not, I know not moments
all are the same, all intolerable hours!

When you are not, I live in darkness!
all night, dark gloomy days!
When you are not, I see no color
all are dull, dead gray shades!

When you are not, I have no sense of pleasure!
all is despair, all is a droopy sense!
When you are not, it is always winter!
no Norouz, nor a new day!

Wishing your advent
Waiting impatiently to see you
Living to be of assistance for you

Your humble sinful daughter

C. The Prophetic tradition: Ali is the master of all those of whom I am master. O Allah! Love him who loves him and hate him who hates him, help him who helps him, forsake him who forsakes him, and turn justice with him wherever he turns.

This tradition alone is sufficient to reply to the claims concerning the seniority of Abu Bakr,Umar and Uthman to Ali, who was appointed by the Messenger of Allah as the guardian after him of all the faithful. It is of no consequence for whoever tried to interpret the saying as the friend or the support in order to divert it from its original meaning so that the integrity of the Companions may be kept intact. The Messenger of Allah stood up in the terrible heat addressing the people,
saying, "Do you witness that I have a prior right to and superior authority over all the faithful?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah. " Thereupon he said, "Ali is the master of all those whom I am a master. . . etc." This is a clear text indicating that the Messenger of Allah had appointed Ali as his successor to lead the nation [of Islam], and the fair and sensible person could not but accept this interpretation and refuse that of the others, thus preserving the integrity of the Messenger of Allah before preserving the integrity of the Companions. Those who give an alternative interpretation to the saying are in fact ridiculing the wisdom of the Messenger of Allah, who gathered the multitude of people, in that unbearable heat, to tell them that Ali was the friend and supporter of the faithful. And what do those, who misinterpret the text in order to preserve the integrity of their masters, say about the procession of congratulation that the Messenger of Allah organized for Ali? It started with the wives of the Messenger, the mothers of the faithful, then Abu Bakr and Umar came and said to him, "Well done Ibn Abi Talib, Overnight you became the guardian [master] of all the faithful."

In fact all the historical evidence gives clear indications that those who misinterpret the above tradition are liars. Woe to those who wrote what they wrote, and woe to them for what they are writing. Allah - the Most High - said. "...a party of them most surely conceal the truth while they know it" [Holy Qur'an 2:146].

B. The Prophetic tradition: O Ali! You hold in relation to me the same position as Haroon held in relation to Moses, except that there shall be no prophet after me.

This tradition, as should be apparent to every sensible person, shows the special quality of the Commander of the Believers, Ali, which made him the right person to be the supporter, the guardian and the deputy [or successor] of the Messenger of Allah as Haroon was the supporter, guardian and deputy of Moses when he went to meet his God. There is also the position of Ali vis-a-vis the Prophet which is absolutely equal to the relation between Haroon and Moses, except for the prophethood, which was excluded in the same tradition.

Furthermore, we find in the tradition the fact that Imam Ali was the best Companion, who only came second after the Messenger of Allah (saw).

My Muslim Brothers and Sisters I ask you sincerely to read these words carefully without any Prejudgment.

These are writen by a person who was sunni; then, after researches got guided and became shie.

The prophetic traditions which persuaded me to follow Imam Ali were those I have read in the Sihahs of the Sunnis and were approved by the Shiites, and they have many more. But as usual I only referred to the prophetic traditions that have been agreed on by both parties, and here are some of them:

A. The Prophetic tradition: "I am the city of Knowledge and Ali is its gate."

This tradition alone should be sufficient to indicate the example that has to he followed after the Messenger of Allah (saw) because the educated man ought to be followed.

References:
Mustadrak, al Hakim, vol 3 p 127
Tarikh, Ibn Kathir, vol 7 p 358

Allah - the Most High - said:

Say: "Are those who know and those who do not know alike?"
[Holy Quran 39:9]

He also said:

"Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you; how do you judge?" [Holy Quran10:35]

History has recorded many facts telling us that Ali was the most knowledgeable man among all the Companions and they used to consult him on every important matter, and we do not know of any event in which he declined to give his advice.

Abu Bakr said, "May Allah never put me in a predicament that Abu al-Hasan cannot solve. " And Umar said, "If it was not for Ali, Umar would have perished."

al Isti'ab, vol 3 p 39
Manaqib al Khawarizmi, p 48
al Riyadh al Nadirah, vol 2 p 194

And Ibn Abbas said, "My knowledge and the knowledge of the Companions of Muhammad(saw) is but a drop in seven seas if compared with Ali's knowledge."

And this is what Imam Ali said about himself, "Ask me before you lose me. By Allah, if you ask me about anything that could happen up to the Day of Judgement, I will tell you about it. Ask me about the Book of Allah, because by Allah there is no [Qur'anic] verse that I do not know whether it was revealed during the night or the day, or whether it was revealed on a plain or on a mountain."

Prophet Mohammad(PBUH&HF)

2009-03-12T20:28:00.006+03:30

When the Almighty Allah chooses a human being for His great divine mission, he must enjoy the highest degrees of virtues. Hence, the messengers of Allah are the most virtuous of people on earth. The holy Quran confirms that whilst the messengers of Allah are more virtuous than other people, there are degrees in rank and preference in virtues amongst them.

Amongst all the Prophets and the Messengers of Allah, the last and the Seal of the Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) is the most preferred of all and the highest in rank in the sight of Allah.

The following are some of the unique characteristics of Prophet Muhammad:

1. The light and spirit of Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was the first creation of Allah.

2. Universal Mission .
“And We have not sent you (O Muhamad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind.” [34:28]

3. He is mercy for the whole worlds:
“And We have not sent you but as a mercy for the worlds.” [21:107]

4. The last Prophet:
“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end) of the Prophets.” [36:40]

5. His Scripture is a protector and a guard over all the previous scriptures, safeguarding the truth in them which has been perverted by man throughout history.
“And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhayman (a protector and controller) over it.” [5:48]

6. The religion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was Islam in its complete form with no perversion in it, and hence it is the right and straight ( Qayyem ) religion.
“So set you (O Muhammad) your face on the straight and right religion.” [30:43]

Jabir ibn yazid narrated from Imam Baqir (a.s), “O Jabir. Verily the first that God created was Muhammad and his pure family. Those who guide and are guided. (Al Kafi 1:442 )

O! Lord of the nice! Grievance of the sorrows of solitude!
My heart detested my life; this is the time to come back

Zeal and separation, far from you, distressed me so that
Endurance of my patience is going to be lost

In the circle of destiny, we are the spot of submission
Grace is whatever you consider, decree whatever you order

O! Cupbearer of the grass, flower has no color without thee
Make thy boxtree to pace to adorn the garden

Self Concern and self will exist not in the world of rendy
Heresy it is in this creed to be self concerned and self willed

O Hafez! The night of separation went; the pleasant odor of the friend came
Congratulations for your joy, you the fond frenzy lover!

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful

“O’ Muslims! You have been advised not to leave us, not to leave the Prophet’s family alone and keep distance from the axis of Islam (Imamate), otherwise you would be confused and vanquished…”

“He (the Prophet) left a book that contains secrets as well as understandable and applicable subjects, but Quran is waiting for someone (Imam) to whom it can reveal its secrets, open the doors of knowledge and narrate what is to be read and heard.”

“O’ Muslims! How can you reach destination from the black and white (mere letters) of Quran, unless there be an enlightened, chaste and well informed scholar (Imam)…”

Messenger of Allah said:

"Praise belongs to Allah. We ask Him for help, and we believe in Him, and to Him we trust. We seek refuge to Him from the evil of our souls and the sins of our deeds. Verily there is no guide for the one whom Allah leaves in stray, and there is non who leads astray the one whom Allah has guided."

"O People! Know that Gabriel came down to me several times bringing me an order from the Lord, the Merciful, that I should stop at this place and inform you. Behold! It is as if the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call."

"O Folk! Don't you witness that there is no deity but Allah, Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle, Paradise is truth, Hell is truth, death is truth, resurrection is truth, and that the Hour shall certainly arrive, and Allah shall raise people from the graves?"

People replied: "Yes, we believe in them."He continued: "O People! Do you hear my voice (clearly)?" They said: "Yes". The Prophet said: "Behold! I am leaving among you two precious and weighty Symbols that if you adhere to both of them, you shall never go astray after me. Each of these two surpasses the other in its grandeur."

A person asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what are those two precious things?"The Prophet replied: "One of them is the Book of Allah and the other one is my select progeny (Itrat), that is family (Ahlul-Bayt). Beware of how you behave them when I am gone from amongst you, for Allah, the Merciful, has informed me that these two (i.e., Quran and Ahlul-Bayt)shall never separate from each other until they reach me in Heaven atthe Pool (of al-Kawthar). I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my Ahlul-Bayt. I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my Ahlul-Bayt. Once more! I remind you, in the name of Allah, about my Ahlul-Bayt."

"Behold! I am your predecessor at the Pool (of Paradise) and I shall be a witness against you. Thus be careful how you treat these two precious things after me. Do not precede these two for you will perish, and do not stay away from them for you will perish."

"O People! Don't you know that I have more authority upon you than yourself?" People cried and said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then prophet repeated:

"O Folk! Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves?" People said again "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then Prophet said: "O People! Surely God is my Master, and I am the master of all believers." Then he grasped the hand of Ali and raised it and said:

"WHOEVER I AM HIS MASTER, ALI IS HIS MASTER (repeating three times). O God! Love those who love him. Be hostile to those who are hostile to him. Help those who help him. Forsake those who forsake him. And keep the truth with him wherever he turns (i.e., make him the axis of the truth)."

"Ali, the son of Abu Talib, is my brother, my executor (Wasi), and my successor (Caliph), and the leader (Imam) after me. His position to me is the same as the position of Haroon (Aaron) to Moses, except that there shall be no prophet after me. He is your master after Allah and His Messenger."

"O Folk! Verily Allah has appointed him to be your Imam and ruler. Obedience of him is obligatory for all Immigrants (Muhajirin) and Helpers (Ansar) and those who follow them in virtue, and on the dwellers of the cities and the nomads, the Arabs and the non-Arabs, the freeman and the slave, the young and the old, the great and the small, the white and the black."

"His commands should be obeyed, and his word is binding and his order is obligatory on everyone who believes in one God. Cursed is the man who disobeys him, and blessed is the one who follows him, and he who believes in him is a true believer. His WILAYAH (belief in his mastery) has been made obligatory by Allah, the Powerful, the Exalted."

" O Folk! Study the Quran. Reflect on its clear verses and do not presume the meaning of the ambiguous verses. For, by Allah, nobody can properly explain them to you its warnings and its meanings except me and this man (i.e., Ali) whose hand I am lifting up in front of myself."

"O People! This is the last time that I shall stand in this assembly.Therefore listen to me and obey and submit to the command of Lord. Verily Allah, He is your Lord and God. After Him, His prophet, Muhammad who is addressing you, is your master. Then after me, this Ali is your master and your leader (Imam) according to Allah's command. Then after him leadership will continue through some selected individuals in my descendants till the day you meet Allah and His Prophet."

"Behold! Certainly you shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me by striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform what I said to those who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of the present audience. Behold! Haven't I conveyed the Message of Allah to you? Behold! Haven't I conveyed the Message of Allah to you?" People replied: "Yes." The Prophet said: "O God! Bear witness."

Who is a PIOUS Man?

2008-01-25T08:03:00.000+03:30

A companion of Amir al-mu'minin(ALI (PBUH)) called Hammam who was a man devoted to worship said to him, "O' Amir al-mu'minin, describe to me the pious man in such a way as though I see them."

Amir al-mu'minin avoided the reply and said, "O' Hammam, fear Allah and perform good acts because 'Verily, Allah is with those who guard (themselves against evil), and those who do good (to others)'" (Qur'an, 16:128). Hammam was not satisfied with this and pushed him to speak.
Thereupon, Amir al-mu'minin praised Allah and extolled Him and sought His blessings on the Holy Prophet and then spoke:

Now then, Allah the Glorified, the Sublime, created (the things of) creation. He created them without any need for their obedience or being safe from their sinning, because the sin of anyone who sins does not harm Him nor does the obedience of anyone who obeys Him benefit Him.
He has distributed among them their livelihood, and has assigned them their positions in the world.

Thus, the God-fearing, in it are the people of distinction. Their speech is to the point, their dress is moderate and their gait is humble.

They keep their eyes closed to what Allah has made unlawful for them, and they put their ears to that knowledge which is beneficial to them.

They remain in the time of trials as though they remain in comfort. …

The greatness of the Creator is seated in their heart, and, so, everything else appears small in their eyes.

Thus to them Paradise is as though they see it and are enjoying its favors. To them, Hell is also as if they see it and are suffering punishment in it.

Their hearts are grieved, they are protected against evils, their bodies are thin, their needs are scanty, and their souls are chaste. …

During a night they are upstanding on their feet reading portions of the Qur'an and reciting it in a well-measured way, creating through it grief for themselves and seeking by it the cure for their ailments. If they come across a verse creating eagerness (for Paradise) they pursue it avidly, and their spirits turn towards it eagerly, and they feel as if it is in front of them.
And when they come across a verse which contains fear (of Hell) they bend the ears of their hearts towards it, and feel as though the sound of Hell and its cries are reaching their ears. They bend themselves from their backs, prostrate themselves on their foreheads, their palms, their knees and their toes, and beseech Allah, the Sublime, for their deliverance.

During the day they are enduring, learned, virtuous and God-fearing. Fear (of Allah) has made them thin like arrows. If any one looks at them he believes they are sick, although they are not sick, and he says that they have gone mad.

In fact, great concern (i.e., fear) has made them mad. …

The peculiarity of anyone of them is that you will see that he has strength in religion, determination along with leniency, faith with conviction, eagerness in (seeking) knowledge in forbearance, moderation in riches, devotion in worship, gracefulness in starvation, endurance in hardship, desire for the lawful, pleasure in guidance and hatred from greed. …

He passes the night in fear and rises in the morning in joy - fear lest night is passed in forgetfulness, and joy over the favor and mercy received by him. If his self refuses to endure a thing which it does not like he does not grant its request towards what it likes.

The coolness of his eye lies in what is to last for ever, while from the things (of this world) that will not last he keeps aloof. He transfuses knowledge with forbearance, and speech with action.
You will see his hopes simple, his shortcomings few, his heart fearing, his spirit contented, his meal small and simple, his religion safe, his desires dead and his anger suppressed. Good alone is expected from him. Evil from him is not to be feared. Even if he is found among those who forget (Allah) he is counted among those who remember (Him), but if he is among the rememberers he is not counted among the forgetful.

He forgives him who is unjust to him, and he gives to him who deprives him. He behaves well with him who behaves ill with him.

… He is dignified during calamities, patient in distresses, and thankful during ease.

He does not commit excess over him whom he hates, and does not commit sin for the sake of him whom he loves. …

He does not call others bad names, he does not cause harm to his neighbor, he does not feel happy at others misfortunes, he does not enter into wrong and does not go out of right.

…. He puts himself in hardship for the sake of his next life, and makes people feel safe from himself.

His keeping away from others is by way of asceticism and purification, and his nearness to those to whom he is near is by way of leniency and mercifulness. His keeping away is not by way of vanity or feeling of greatness, nor his nearness by way of deceit and cheating.

It is related that Hammam passed into a deep swoon and then expired. Then Amir al-mu'minin said: Verily, by Allah I had this fear about him. Then he added: Effective advices produce such effects on receptive minds. Someone said to him: O' Amir al-mu'minin, how is it you do not receive such an effect? Amir al-mu'minin replied: Woe to you. For death there is a fixed hour which cannot be exceeded, and a cause which does not change. Now look, never repeat such talk which Satan had put on your tongue.

The Wind's Footfall

2007-12-13T07:45:00.001+03:30

I am a native of Iran.
My life is not so bad.
I have a piece of bread, an iota of intelligence
and a bit of wit.
I have a mother better than a leaf, a father tougher than a bough
and a sister wetter than a dew.
I have friends, cleaner than limpid rain.
I know a girl, her face shinning like the Moon
a burly man, his heart as fragile as the stem of a rose.
I praise my aunt’s life
a home standing there, out of shadows of despair
a plain house with simple furniture,
but a feel of being the richest of the men.

I have a God who is nearby.
I am a Muslim

I see Kheybar in my dreams
I am acquainted with the moan and the well‘s the dialogue.
Scene of a horse without a rider, cries of ‘thirst’,
like a desert burning sun melt my pleasures.

I adore peace and love
I believe in the miracle of smile
I am waiting for the mirror time
I look forward
to approaching of day
to increasing of colors
to the echo of a red rose
beyond the Hedge of Harsh Words.

I am a native of Iran
I had a nice brother
who incapable of bearing whiteness of the paper
drew a picture on my dreams:
A pair of boots with undone laces,
with an evoking call:
‘Death is not the end of pigeon’
And now always
I can hear some one whispering in my ear:
“Sunrise is not an accident, dear!”

I am an undergraduate
Passion for flight is piled up in my wings
Enthusiasm for union seeps out of my heart
Desire for observation in my eyes, ears hungry for songs
Crave to devour light opens my mouth.
I won’t lose heart
swallows will come.

I got born in a snowy day,
my mother say
eyes filled with green color, brushed by a picture of trees
hands clenched as they feared to lose
and a breath with smelling of apple’s odor

Like all the other babies
,haunted by the cold air,
I had burst to tears.

Then the era of the kites, era of dolls and the balls
era of red fish of joy’s jigging in water-bottle of Norouz
era of celebrating Thursday eves.

Gradually, the child tiptoed away in the alleyway
of dragonflies.
I packed my things, leaving the town of light fantasies.
My heart heavy with the nostalgia for dragonflies.

And now
I am in a way
I am in trace,
Seeking own self

I eat, I sleep
I read, I think
I sing,
I fall in Love,
I live.

I fight,
I lose and win.
I am always swinging
between hope’s light and despair’s dim.

I sometimes sing the songs of victory and glory
I sing “Life is the beauty”.
And some times sorrow and grief
I declare that “Life is not shiny”
Always there exists a scratch on the sense’s face.

I know
beyond the seas there is a town
there is my final everlasting home
though I can’t hide my fear of the door.

Life is not empty:
Kindness, Apples, Faith.

A voice is calling me
A voice is calling me from afar

I am always traveling.

GOD Will Ask One Day From Jesus …

2007-07-13T10:39:00.000+03:30

The day will come when GOD will summon the messengers and ask them, "How was the response to you?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. You are the Knower of all secrets."109

GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My blessings upon you and your mother. I supported you with the Holy Spirit, to enable you to speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult. I taught you the scripture, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel. Recall that you created from clay the shape of a bird by My leave, then blew into it, and it became a live bird by My leave. You healed the blind and the leprous by My leave, and revived the dead by My leave. Recall that I protected you from the Children of Israel who wanted to hurt you, despite the profound miracles you had shown them. The disbelievers among them said, `This is obviously magic.'110

GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides GOD?'" He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen.116

"I told them only what You commanded me to say, that: `You shall worship GOD, my Lord and your Lord.' I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).117

"If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."118

GOD will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. GOD is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise).119

To GOD belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things.120

We are in the lament days for martyrdom of our prophet’s dauther, Fateme Zahra.
May one day truth get revealed?
We look forward to see her son ‘Mahdi’, Promised Savior, to appear to get her Mother's rights back.

Well done! Nice one!
To God, the best architect, who constructed You.
I can’t be surprised of You,
Since my tiny eyes are unable to see the Majesty of You.

How can an ant know
The wall of Pyramids from a red-brick?
You are the highest Pyramid which Dreamland’s pharaoh
Can build and me am an ant unable to see how high you can be.

Your majesty, being so high in position
How can you stand next to an old woman’s oven?
Or sit with your shoulder under the feet of little children?

Before being acquainted with you,
I haven’t heard any ocean being upright
Or a king wearing worn-out shoes,
Carrying old water-skin and being befriend with slaves

Night’s darkness comes from your black eyes
Storm’s roar from your wrath
Well done! Nice one!
To God, the best creator, who raised You.

Where can I finish speaking about you?
Isn’t even God surprised of you?
Well done! Nice one!
To God, the best creator, who created You.

Do you expect paradise to go in!

2007-05-16T07:39:00.000+03:30

Do you expect paradise to go in!

Expect paradise to go in before having passed trails!

Trails that came to those who passed away before you.

They encountered suffering and adversity

And were so shaken in spirit that, even the Messenger

and those of faith who were

with him, cried:

"When the Help will come?"

"Where is GOD's triumph?"

Ah! Surly, the Help is nigh!

The Help is in come!

Hope of Birth By Farshchian

“And I gave them the glad tidings of the coming messenger,

Of the approaching day,

Of the increasing of colors,

And the echo of the Red Rose

Beyond the Hedge of Harsh Words.”

All MEN ARE IN LOSS

2007-05-09T19:58:00.000+03:30

Recreation of Q’uran’s ideas in my own words:

Swear by TIME,
Most surely all men are in loss,
They have spoiled their life,
Except those who
Believe in GOD,
Behave righteously,
And
Direct each other to the truth,
And
Advise each other to be patient.

وَالْعَصْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
