Midnight Thoughts

Are all of us selfish in this world? Are we all self-centered? Do we always think of ourselves first? When do people consider you a selfish person and when do they consider you selfless? I am unaware of which qualities are present in me. And if someone is selfish is that a bad thing? if I am selfish am I a bad person? Could the world have gone so forward if people were not selfish? Selfishness and selflessness both of these traits make us wonder about our society, our values, the world from a bigger perspective, and ourselves. Let's begin, shall we?
You make money to feed yourself. And if you have leftovers you may give them to the poor. It is for you to decide how much you will keep for yourself and how much you would give away. If you have a target to reach and after reaching it you start donating to the charity will you call it selfish? This is a very subjective assessment. Am I right? And if someone doesn't have enough for themselves and starts donating others might tell them to save some for rainy days. Who is being selfish here? For example, parents won't always know how to divide if all of their children want an equal amount of cake. Everyone has a different opinion on this subject. It is our values and emotions that govern our definition of selfishness. Some people have so much wealth that they don't even know what to do with it. And some have so little that they have to make sacrifices for basic things. If you keep some things for yourself because you had to work hard to get them is it selfish? And if you have so much for yourself that giving some of it away won't even make a difference in your life is it selfless? Maybe no one has answers. Maybe it is all about having different perceptions. Maybe it's right to be selfish maybe it is right to be selfless. I don't know maybe it's just right to do whatever you think is right. Maybe it's just right to do whatever you want. Maybe. it's all right.

Painful, Patient and Powerful🍉

The story of a land that breathes resilience, whispers prayers in the dark and cradles the hopes of a people longing for peace.  The Unbearable Losses: In the tapestry of Palestinian existence, threads of sorrow are woven deeply. Families were torn apart, homes shattered, and dreams suspended in the air like delicate dandelion seeds. The losses are unbearable and unimaginable, yet the spirit of the people refuses to shatter. Everyday Heroes: Palestine is not just a piece of land; it's a testament to the power of the human spirit. Amid adversity, everyday heroes emerge. Mothers weaving warmth into the fabric of their children's lives, fathers rebuilding what war has taken, and children painting a canvas of hope with their laughter. Each face tells a story of resilience, embodying the strength of standing tall against the storm. Life, Unimaginable: Living in the shadow of conflict, every breath in Palestine is an act of defiance. Yet, life persists. Markets bustle with

The Art of Solitude

Do you ever find yourself craving some alone time, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life? In a world that constantly bombards us with noise, distractions, and a never-ending to-do list, solitude can be a precious gift. It's an opportunity to hit pause and reconnect with the most important person in your life: yourself. When you're in solitude, you can explore your thoughts and feelings without external influences. It's like having a deep conversation with yourself, uncovering layers of your personality, and gaining a profound understanding of who you truly are. And that's always a good thing. Think of solitude as your personal retreat. It's a time to recharge your mental and emotional batteries. In the quiet moments, you can let go of stress, unwind, and regain your inner balance. It's like plugging in your smartphone to charge up; solitude is your recharge time. I know, sounds funny right? but trust me it's true. Some of history's most brilliant

Surely, With Every Hardship Comes Ease

  As a believer, I have found immense comfort and strength in the teachings of the Quran, particularly in the verse "Inna ma'al usri yusra." Isn't it beautiful? This simple yet profound verse encapsulates the essence of resilience and hope in Islam. It reminds us that no matter how difficult our circumstances may be, there is always a silver lining, a ray of hope that shines through the darkness. It teaches us to have faith in Allah's plan and to trust that He will never burden us with more than we can bear. Some days, this the only thought that keeps me going. When I reflect on my own life and the challenges I've faced, and the choices i've made, I find reassurance in this verse. It serves as a reminder that hardships are temporary, and they often pave the way for something better. Every trial we endure strengthens our character, builds our patience, and ultimately leads us to personal growth. One of the most beautiful aspects of Islam is its emphasis
