God will judge to decide whether to throw you in heaven or hell. An intelligent person shouldn't be in need of judgement of God. Being intelligent, he should accept a place in hell even before he is judged.

A poster was put out by Amnesty International, showing a South American Bishop or Cardinal—proponent of ‘Liberation Theology’ saying that “when I fed the poor, they said I was a saint, but when I asked them why are they poor, they said I was ‘a communist’ ”!

"Gorillas are superior to men in this: When a gorilla looks into a mirror, he sees a gorilla"

And then one needs to remember what Malcolm de Chazal said - Apes, Gorillas and Monkeys are superior to men. Especially, men like BooM.

What can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr.
- Ibn Taymeeyah

Meet people in such a manner that if you die,
they should weep for you,
and if you live,
they should long for you
- Ali (a.s.)

Joy and sorrow are the light and shade of life;
without light and shade no picture is clear.
- Inayat Khan

God made the illusion look real
and the real an illusion.
He concealed the sea
and made the foam visible,
the wind invisible,
and the dust manifest.
you see the dust whirling,
but how can the dust rise by itself?
you see the foam, but not the ocean.
invoke Him with deeds, not words;
for deeds are real
and will save you in the infinite-life.
- Rumi
[Mathnawi]

I may never see tomorrow;
There's no written guarantee

And things that happened yesterday
Belong to history.



I cannot predict the future
I cannot change the past

I have just the present moments
I must treat them as my last.



I must use this moment wisely
For it soon will pass away

And be lost forever
As part of yesterday.



I must exercise compassion
Help the fallen to their feet

Be a friend unto the friendless
Make an empty life complete.



The unkind things I do today
May never be undone

And friendships that I fail to win
May nevermore be won.



I may not have another chance
On bended knee to pray

And I thank God with a humble heart
For giving me this day.

"Every morning in Africa , a gazelle awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the fastest lion. If he cannot, then he will be eaten. Every morning in Africa a lion awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the slowest gazelle. If he cannot, he will die of hunger. Whether you choose to be a gazelle or a lion is of no consequence. It is enough to know that with the rising of the sun, you must run. And you must run faster than you did yesterday or you will die. This is the race of life."

Marriage is like a flute.. It may have several holes and emptiness. The same holes and emptiness gives beautiful and melodious tunes, if you know how!


Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

It's not so much what you say,
As the manner in which you say it;
It's not so much the language you use,
As the tone in which you convey it.


"Come here," I sharply said,
And the child cowered and wept.
"Come here," I said; he looked and smiled,
And straight to my lap he crept.


Words may be mild and fair,
But the tone may pierce like dart;
Words may be soft as the summer air,
But the tone may break my heart.


For words come from the mind
Grow by study and art,
But tone leaps from the inner self,
Revealing the state of heart.


Whether you know it or not,
Whether you're mean or care,
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate,
Envy, anger are there.


Then, would you quarrels avoid
And peace and love rejoice ?
Keep anger not only out of your words,
Keep it out of your voice.
