A story from a wise sage

My mamma shares stories with me about her life in Beirut, back in the 60’s. She tells me how happy they were, collectively: content, appreciative, courteous and grateful. These are innate qualities for a society when it holds on to its values, morals and love towards a brother/ sister. Kids […]

Patience

On February 26, 2019March 9, 2019

Be Patient. Patience is a virtue. Many a times I heard this. As a young girl I thought: patience meant waiting for food to be ready, for someone to finish getting ready already, for my ride to pick me up. As an adult I laughed at what I perceived patience […]

Short Lived Power

On September 3, 2018

ولا غالب الا الله And there is no conqueror except God. Previous Islamic generations knew that their achievements , successes and conquests were from God.
