Part II
Today we meet each other, act with each other for sometime, later when we claim that we love each other, then the real us spring outside. Wow, how can the other party accept what he/she didntÂ’t know about us before? In other words, we never even loved that person, but it was rather lust for the person.
Today girls have distorted love with their selfishness, controlling greed, and of course materialistic endeavors. When a guy is poor and uneducated, then there is no genuine love for him. If a guy is a doctor, lawyer, or a very successful businessman, then this actress will shower him with her fake love only aimed at his money or success. Say, if he lost his fortune, jobless or Allah forbid very sick, then the true witch will spring out.
When a woman truly loves a man, be he poor, rich, sick, healthy, loser, educated or whatever it may be, she will continue to love him. His mere appearance, voice or touch will satisfy her. His presence makes her feel like she on top of the world. Her heart is always filled with joy. This light of love always fills her heart with life and gives her the sense of being needed. All women want to feel needed and they can only fulfill this by serving the ones they truly love: husband (lover) children, parents or their community.
Good friends are always easy to find provided that you keep a clean heart and ask for forgiveness. An enemy today can become the best friend tomorrow. Avoid discrimination since you may never know who could be your best friend, rich, poor, fat, tall, skinny, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, black, white or Japanese. Some people do not have to push but everything walks right into them.
Hardest thing you can do is inflicts pain on the one you love. If you love someone, you do not suffocate him/her. If you love someone, you will be happy for him or her always no matter if he/she is with you or not.
Will continue with this tomorrow,
I gotta jet. Be good and smart!

What is love? Part I
Yes, love starts with a smile and ends with joy.
Many people claiming to be in love are actors and actresses.
If you had met a boy in your younger years at school say a classmate and fell in love, you would have had a good experience what love is. If you become very good friends with someone with whom you open yourself to like a book and he can read and accept you for who you are, then you will enjoy the taste of love.

Neglected
As i leave for lunch....
I look for her again. I turn left. Then right. Can't seem to see her today.
I walk over to the crossroads, all the while thinking where to eat. The sun is warm, the humidity has started to nag at my neck, asking the tie for a release.
On my way back, i see her.
Somehow i dont know how i missed her in the first place. But now i cant take my eyes off what i see nearly everyday.
As i walk past, she is lying. I try to look at her face, i want to look into her eyes and see the sorrow she possesses and how? I want to know the whole story. But, today is better, she seems in a state of rest. A state of peace. No state of nakedness i seen when i walked past yesterday, no shes not trying to take her t-shirt off today, trying to bear the humidity.
She is wearing the normal dusty, dirty, worn out vest she always wears. Her broken umbrella beside her. Somehow my mind cannot comprehend, how she manages to balance on the broken item when she walks.
I want to scream, to the loudest voice my throat, my stomach, my whole body can conjure up in one big breath. I want to relieve what i feel. I want to grab them all...The passer-by's, The boy in the office, the girl in the office. I want to grap them by their girebaan and shake them, keep doing it until some sort of recognition as to how i feel is knocked into them.
Why couldn't the boy in the office give me a reason as to why she sits there, why she lies there. Naked or not and how people can walk by her as if she is invisible. Why couldnt he ask her if something can be bought for her, maybe some food, clothes...something? He is embarrassed, he cannot. And she doesnt sit with this expectation. Neither does the population walking by, oblivious to this invisible human being.
In this state of sheer frustration and anger, my nafs calls out to me and tells me again:
'This is the land of the rising sun.'

Questions about love
I would ask myself these questions about love.
What am I seeking in my life? Wealth or power? Do I want heart contentment or misery of my heart ? what is that my heart really desires?
We the Muslims have been striped of heart contentment because we ignored the root of love. Everything that we do have its tests. Likewise, in our love life we will be tested, but if we are sincere to our love we will overcome it.
I would ask myself these questions: What do I want in my life? A person I can spend the rest of my life with trying to follow the entire teachings of Islam or a doctor who does not follow Islam but is very wealthy?
Like I said before, if a guy/gal loves Allah and His messenger above everything, he/she will automatically find happiness in love.
From what I know, a woman only wants someone who she can be herself with; one that she can share her strength, weakness, low self esteem, craziness, happiness, sadness and security. She wants to be able to express her views without being put down or screamed at. She wants to see this deep love feeling in the eyes of this man everyday no matter how difficult their lives are. I call this companionship, etc. She wants security that she would not be left alone when she is sick or something drastic happens in her life and she wants softness and compassion when she is in a bad mood and she does want her man to understand her.
The test of love could be some sort of catastrophe in their lives, but they will be patient, support each other and come out together loving each other more. When a woman truly loves a man, she surrenders herself completely to his disposal and this man in turn does not take advantage of this but he treats her with kindness, respect and love.
The main thing we are looking for in life is called “Taqwa” and may The Almighty give us all that for the rest of our lives. (Ameen)
Our generation has ruined love to what he/she has. If a guy is a lawyer, doctor or very wealthy, a gal will jump at his feet claiming to love him. But if he gets broke or sick, she will forsake him simply coz she never loved him in the first place.
It will be better if we can fall in love with ones inner-self rather than the outer-self.
True love brings heart contentment, heart contentment brings Allah’s pleasure, Allah’s pleasure brings success in this world and the hereafter. I am not asking you to compare this statement to today Muslim’s life. Please refer to Abrahim, Musa, Dawood, Sulayeeman, Zacariya, and our Noble Prophet, (saw) and his companions after the conquest of Mecca.
Behind every successful man, there is a true loving woman and I wish one of these days I will meet this dream woman somewhere…………….
Hey anyone knows of any????
