Nothing left to be hurt by ...

BY NUSRAT UCHIHA

There`s nothing of me to be hurt anymore, I`ve been torn apart...

I always knew I was supposed to be a curse. I always knew I would fall alone. At the end of the day, no one came to ask me whether I was ok. To some I[`ve] become a lesson and a person they never want to become and to some [a] stranger, and to some just an orphan who can`t do anything right. Now I am that girl. The girl who seemed unbreakable is finally starting to break, the one who seemed so strong is crumbling apart, the one who always laughs it off is constantly crying, the girl who would never give up, finally quit trying. I just wish there was someone who would come and hug me and tell me they are really there, but the only one who did that was Allah. Its true as Allah says, you come alone and you will go alone, I guess keeping all the pain inside is the best I can do.

Maturity isn’t based on how old you are.

Maturity is based on the types of experiences you’ve had and what you have learned. Maturity isn’t based on how many times you celebrated your birthday.

- [ ♥ Your Mother ♥ ] - 

" Your mother bore you for 9 months, 

She watched her feet well, She struggled to climb stairs, 

She got breathless real quick, 

She bore excruciating pain, 

She suffered many sleepless nights, 

She became your nurse, your chef, your teacher, your cleaner, your friend. 

She struggled for you. But did she see it as a struggle? 

No, she saw it as a Blessing From Allah SWT! "

Love your Mother, And Your Father coz whatever you do for them in this Life, it will NEVER compensate for what they have done for you when you were still in the womb, and after when you were born!

" Rabir Humhuma Kama Rabayani Sageerah "

The ones that help and aid tirelessly without any wants or recognition

Anime ... Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and the world of ignorant bliss

Never really did I understand this anime business. It has a huge following but consumes people`s lives to the cores and they dont even realize it! They start acting out like them, dress like them, think like then, share their psyche in their personal lives and so on. How people so quickly get absorbed in the path of ignorance is beyond me but they escape into, from a world of reality into the netherworld of utter illusion and false aspirations. How classless they must be to rejecting their own God-given values and character to dump them in an instant to follow the paths of ignorance of others .

Now this Naruto anime and Sasuke character is a favorite of my sis Nusrat Akhter and other cousins, so I thought I would plug it in here and comment on it. All these do is offer people a false sense of reality that essentially takes so much of their time that is of no use. All these people who follow it do do is talk, eat, breathe and dream about these characters and their lifestyles but how sad for them that they reject their very human nature and God-given faculties for false idols and commit Shirk. For them is Allah the Almighty`s guidance if He wills it. May He  help us all express our own true unique selves to the world instead of being sellouts to the system of Shaytaan.

Motherly Love 

by Meera

"The following poem was inspired in the above painting named “Hand in Hand” by Miki, a great artist whose works of art I love. I don’t have children of my own but this is what I’d like to tell them if I had":

Motherly Love

I’m holding your hand

So small in my palm

Don’t you cry my child

I will be always

By your side

I’m holding your hand

So sweet to touch

As harmless as you are

I will protect you

No matter what

Who could love you

More than I

I will hold your hand

Throughout the years

From now

I’ll teach you how to walk

Don’t you worry

I won’t let you fall.

Holding your hand

I see myself in your eyes

Oh baby

Don’t you cry

For you will be always

In my heart.

Rare new head of Queen Nefertiti discovered

Editor`s note: The new head bust of Nefertiti discovered (below left) has the slender facial features of my cousin sister Nusrat Akhter - most notably the high arched cheek bones, slender yet graceful facial lines and contour with a prominent chin. The lips also are also uncanny in capturing the sense of pouting and with an outward philtrum along the upper lip. Not bad for being synonymous with the 'most beautiful woman in the world.' This is to my readers who are associated with my family in knowing my cousin sister - RA [Rubaiat`s Blog]

Just breaking news: a new head of Nefertiti has been identified (left).

This, we now must acknowledge, is a head of the famous Queen Nefertiti, wife of the pharaoh Akhenaten (1353-1336 BCE). After some serious detective work, Dr Christian E. Loeben, Egyptologist at the August Kestner Museum in Hanover, Germany, has established its true and fascinating identity. It had been thought, wrongly as it now turns out, that this fragment of a face depicted the unisex pharaoh himself.

Dr Loeben has been able to demonstrate convincingly that it is in fact the illustrious queen, whose most famous portrait is the polychrome bust kept in the Berlin Museum (below left).

It measures barely 5.5 cm (2.2") in height, but the red-brown quartzite* head is a tiny masterpiece of Egyptian art.

"Until now, no Egyptologist had noticed that at the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten, only women's portraits were done in quartzite. Nefertiti is the only possible option for this remarkably fine miniature portrait," says Loeben.

"This is a truly sensational discovery," chimes in Dr Christian Bayer, Egyptologist at the University of Munster and specialist in Nefertiti: "It is very exciting to be able to add this extraordinary piece to the relatively limited collection of statues of Nefertiti."

The fact that this discovery has taken place this year is all the more remarkable given that it is exactly one hundred years since the German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt found the world-famous bust of Nefertiti (left) in 1912, during his excavations at Tell el-Amarna, the new capital city founded by Akhenaten:

Suddenly we had the most alive Egyptian artwork in our hands, Ludwig Borchardt wrote in his diary for 1912. You cannot describe it with words. You can only see it.

That "most beautiful woman in the world" now reigns over the Neues Museum in Berlin, enthroned alone in a domed room that overlooks the length of the Museum.

The small quartzite head, on the contrary, is secluded in a private collection in Europe and is therefore not normally accessible to the public.

For my boro mami (aunt) Nasima Khatun (1968-2007); may she rest in peace

My beloved boro mami (aunt) Nasima Khatun

(08/03/68-12/16/07)

On the evening of December 16, 2007, a day which was astonishingly cold and blistery, with surprising gale-force hurricane winds which seemed like it was sent by the heavens to take the soul of my boro mami (aunt) Nasima Khatun away from this world for the last time on her final journey.

It would be the last time she would ever see and experience this world. Se left this world in her last moments in agony - 'sakarat ul-mout' - the stupor of death when the soul is coming out. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ(peace be upon him) has said there is agony is death, as he himself the best of creation had to go through this as everyone will.

My boro mami as we traditionally called her was a person I never really gotten the chance to meet or interact with on a personal level like the rest of my family, but nevertheless from our brief encounters she was a person of true integrity and family oriented. She always put the welfare and well-being of her family first and worked tirelessly to improve upon family relations and sentiment. She was highly devoted to her direct family - her husband and two daughters and was steadfast till her last days and hours.

No words can be used to explain the state the entire family was in when news broke out of my aunt`s tragic death. I still remember that fateful night, when we were at a wedding reception and received a call from my uncle informing us of the news and were awaiting us in the hospital to decide on the final funeral matters. We rushed there as fast as we could, recalling I drove 80-90 mph and not caring about any speeding tickets. The atmosphere was so doom and gloom when we finally arrived there, seemed like a massive dagger was struck into the whole family collectively, I have never seen the family like this. There I noticed my boro mama (my uncle, husband of my deceased aunt) stooped over on a chair and with a facial expression that was beyond words. His youngest daughter and my youngest cousin (Nusrat Akhter) was present although I never knew her personally and couldn`t make her out until my other aunt pointed her out. I felt so bad and helpless seeing her facial expression that it was incalculable. Here I thought, such a young girl loosing her mother at such a tender age was beyond measure. I made a vow I would do everything in my power to always make her happy and see her succeed in this world. She had an angelic quality that made you grow sympathy and love for and came to appreciate her. To my astonishment we had similar characteristics and interests and made my devotion to her even greater. Just to see her smile would fill the heart with delight and content. Giving her the proper guidance was of utmost importance since she lost her mother at yet such a young age when the mind is so impressionable.

Keeping her mind occupied and showering her with happiness was of great importance. No one can imagine what she went through when she saw first hand her mother pass away in front of her very eyes. No one can understand what she thought and felt until someone goes through it, that's life and that's how it will continue on till the last days.  

It is said, a dead person`s deeds are closed when they pass away so it is up to their living descendants to continue to fill their deeds with good actions, sincere prayer and charity. So when the inevitable day of Judgement comes and we all have to stand trial in front of our Creator, we all hope our good deeds will outweigh the bad and permit us to enter paradise.

Aside from praying for my family, for both sides of my family, I would wish for a Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous alms/charity) to be set up on her behalf that would last and continue to give good hasanah (rewards) and last till the end times. 

So we extend our peace and blessings upon my boro mami, that may Allah the Almighty bless her and save her from the inevitable fitnah (trials) of the grave that we all surely have to face, and make her among the ones who are destined for paradise. To Allah we belong and to Allah we will surely return.
