Sorry for the late felicitation on the Glorious Occasion of Milad un Nabi / Yaum ul Nabi / Mawlud Nabi (i.e. the birth of Rasulullah s.a.w.)

YAUM UL NABI MUBARAK!!!

There was a huge celebration in my city- with prominent guest speakers arriving from Pakistan.Of course, it was a Pakistani event hence was held in Urdu/Hindi.(the locals have their own celebratin toobut its WAAAAY less lively compared to the South asian celebrations- what can I say, we're born to celebrate!)
Well... much unfortunately...as my friend, who was suppose to come with me to the ceremony, suddenly have some work at the last minute, I missed the event.
My mom's friend who went there said the event was a smash!!!The talks were interesting...and it was very lively with Hamds and Naats.
For you guys that doesn't know what they are....Hamd is recitations of Ghazal (poems) of praises to ALlah. Whereas Naat is the Praises to Rasulullah(s.a.w.).
Here's some example....
in Urdu -ALLAH HA ALLAH
ALLAH ALLAH ALLAH HU

in English -Al-Mua'lim
Allahu Allahu Allahu

In Lahore (Pakistan) , where there was a grand celebration, a very peculiar incident took place. As the Aleem was giving the speech...a cloud formed near the moon...resembling the word Muhammad (محمد) in Arabics.
Luckily,by Allah's grace, the event was filmed..and have been made possible for us to witness.

*he was at first talking about 'MUHAMMAD' (as a word)..than he pointed out that Allah has written Muhammad (saw) under the moon.*

Salaamaleykum,

After a considerable long pause since my previous personal blog (and not just copy paste/Happy___), I decided to declassify one of my observations on life.

    Well, so one day I was laying on the grass with my friends after Isha prayers- enjoying the midnite scenary from the 7th floor garden.One friend was playing with another friend(FAisal)'s mobile...and yup..he was playing some nice hindi songs with the mobile.But, eventually as we are about to leave, he realised the stylus (pen) was lost. One would expect the mobile owner to go berserk.But NAH, not this owner. he was just smiling and asking us to search for the stylus. SInce its dark,we had to use our mobile screen as the light source.
    Praised be Almighty, we did eventually found the stylus ,after a pretty long search with the aid of mere handphone screen light.

    Whats my point?...my point is...keeping your head..and not exploding during trying times.When you lose your stuffs.How beautiful a character patience is.

    It also reminded me of a poem by Rudyard Kipling-IF.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
