what is faith? by kamran pasha
what is faith?
It is a memory. Of a time when all was perfect in the world. When there was no fear, no grieve and no judgement and no death.
It is a memory of a time before we were born, a beacon to guide us back from the end to the beginning, to the memory of where we came from.
It is a memory of a promise made before the earth was formed, before the stars glittered in the primordial sea.
A promise that says that we weill remember what we have learned on this journey so that we may return full circle, the same and yet different.
Older. Wiser. Filled with compassion for other. And for ourselves.

say what you have to say
speak when u have something to say..not cause u have to say something..... and after you've said it... let it be. ur done ur part... u gave the message..u taught the lesson from ur point..u said what u had to say.... it'll feel like a big burden off urself. and it'll feel like u did ur part. whether somebody listens or not..thats not for u to worry about. A parent will teach you everything they need to guide you through life..but once they've done their part, they wont feel like they werent there. When you see somebody walking into a shadow. Open up the gates to them. Let them know that Allah's gate is always open to them but they're the ones that have to walk through it. When you see somebody that is your friend start to go to drugs. Let them know its bad for them because in life prevention is always better than cure but at the end if they continue you've done your part and you no longer have to share in the burden or the guilt.You can let yourself know.. I did my part. I did my part.
Sometimes when you do somethign good for somebody. You wont get anythign back from them. Never do good for somebody expecting anything from them. Always do good expecting your reward from Allah. And this is the biggest miracle that I know from experience. When you do someone good and it gets returned to you. Sometimes it might not be from the same source, not from the same place, person or even the same life..but it comes right back at you. Every good and bad thing comes back at you like its karma. Its like theres natural forces.
Sometimes it may even be that they are right and you are wrong. We all have beliefs. You cant make anybody trust you or love you or even understand you. You cant make anybody have your beliefs. You cant MAKE anybody do anything. If we were meant to be forced into things than Allah wouldn't have made us human and given us free will. He would have created us as though we had no abilities to reason. He would have made us machines. But we are not machines.
People have tried to copy humans. People have made computers, telephones, radios and tvs all based on our nervous system. All based on aspect of our intelligence. Than put electrical energy to make it work. But where does the energy making our body come from? Something inside us is more than just our physical self. An essence, an energy, a spirit. And its that energy that is unseen to our eyes that drives this temporary machine that is our body and a temporary thing given to us. We gotta open our eyes to a world we can't see but feel. We gotta find a peace and security for the soul. We gotta nurture that soul by remembering Allah and we gotta awaken it
the day u stop caring is the day you'll stop learning. its the soul that constantly on a quest to love and understand everything around it. dont decide shut down your soul but learn to breathe, learn to understand. Dont close your eyes to the world but rather open them no matter how big the burdens..you're here for a reason.. dont kill your heart but keep searching until it finds what its looking for. Peace in an eternal home. A purpose. A life worth living and a purpose fulfilled. We are here for a reason. We have to fulfill it.

because who was there?
"Has there not been over Man a long period of Time, when he was nothing--(not even) mentioned? ― Verily We created Man from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: so We gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight. We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will)." [The Qur'an 76:1-3]
