It also pursues ways and means of ensuring the stabilization of prices in international oil markets with a view to eliminating harmful and unnecessary fluctuations; giving due regard at all times to the interests of the producing nations and to the necessity of securing a steady income to the producing countries; an efficient and regular supply of petroleum to consuming nations, and a fair return on their capital to those investing in the petroleum industry.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">OPEC and Oil Price</span><br /><br />OPEC's influence on the market has been widely criticized, since it became effective in determining production and prices. Arab members of OPEC alarmed the developed world when they used the “oil weapon” during the Yom Kippur War by implementing oil embargoes and initiating the 1973 oil crisis. Although largely political explanations for the timing and extent of the OPEC price increases are also valid, from OPEC’s point of view, these changes were triggered largely by previous unilateral changes in the world financial system and the ensuing period of high inflation in both the developed and developing world. This explanation encompasses OPEC actions both before and after the outbreak of hostilities in October 1973, and concludes that “OPEC countries were only “staying even” by dramatically raising the dollar price of oil.”<br /><br />OPEC's ability to control the price of oil has diminished somewhat since then, due to the subsequent discovery and development of large oil reserves in Alaska, the North Sea, Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, the opening up of Russia, and market modernization. OPEC nations still account for two-thirds of the world's oil reserves, and, as of April 2009, 33.3% of the world's oil production, affording them considerable control over the global market. The next largest group of producers, members of the OECD and the Post-Soviet states produced only 23.8% and 14.8%, respectively, of the world's total oil production.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Secretary General </span>: Abdallah Salem el-Badri<br />(since January 1, 2007)Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-72649955693963644682009-12-05T20:10:00.002+04:002009-12-05T20:16:24.849+04:00The Road Not Taken<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqxxTa-pzvNV-g2WwDvuMxVacdsEmlz5RgIVO5jWUCVI61tjhcl9AxMNa-4ZzfNi7FYrWOEiPGTfxboDu0xvjQnEcOtKtUuLFnt2Pj_L0KCEe9RKCAFZG9MJgfp3ldsPGuGn4xy7rOyJ14/s1600-h/woods.jpg"><img style="float:right;

We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Our emotions get magnified, senses get heightened, and we are flying in seventh heaven. It may only last a moment, an hour, a day, but that doesn't diminish its value....<br /><br />But are you sure it’s love that we are talking about?<br /><br />Why do independent, smart women become emotional wrecks after a romantic break-up? Why do older men gravitate towards younger women? Could it be estrogen and testosterone hormones that addict us to our lovers? In terms of mature relationships and love, most of the times, people fail to distinguish between the true meaning of love and lust.<br /><br />Have you ever been swept off your feet by a man/woman standing next to you in a queue? Is it merely infatuation, a strong shot of chemistry, or budding love - the real thing? Is Cupid playing a prank or bringing you true love forever?<br /><br />Love at first sight is not believable. Love takes time. Lust at first sight sounds much more accurate. A study done by testing the blood samples of twenty couples, who claimed to be madly in love for less than six months, revealed that serotonin levels of new lovers were equivalent to the low serotonin levels of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients.<br /><br />It's hard to tell if you are in love because there’re no set defining characteristics of love. The dictionary says it's "a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection" or "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person." What exactly is this feeling or attraction?<br /><br />The question evoked the thought process of Paramita Roy, a fashion designer; she was surprised that she had never thought of this aspect of her relationship before. After much silence she concluded, "Emotions are not sufficient to suggest whether a relationship is that of love, no matter how strong the attraction may be." Sadly, there is not much awareness to distinguish between lust and love and that is why we have so many emotional and social problems.<br /><br />Since time immemorial we are hearing that love is blind. But that’s a mistake; real love is not blind. Quite the opposite, it is a relationship in full awareness. Over time, through good communication and wisdom, you can start knowing your partner. Gradually, you become aware of his/her flaws and try to work your differences in a healthy way.<br /><br />Lust, on the other hand, could be perceived as being "blind" as it usually distorts reality, especially when you're so involved that you don’t care to find out the real persona of your partner. According to Shruti Bhatia, a psychologist, we often idolize our partners, magnify their virtues and find a way to explain their flaws. This basically happens because many movies, books and songs paint an unrealistic portrait of love, which further builds a false perception of love in our minds.<br /><br />When Sameer Nagpal, a commercial pilot by profession, was asked whether his six-year-old relationship was based on love or lust, he was quick to reply, "Love is full of sacrifices, trust and respect whereas lust is built on physical attraction, fun and thrills. Real love is commitment. I cannot categorize my relationship as a short sensational affair of love is in the air."<br /><br />Do some real soul searching today and identify your relationship. If you're in a relationship which does not have fondness, respect, affection, devotion along with passion, it would be wise to back off. Or else, one day those wonderful romantic feelings will be gone and you will wonder what happened to your perfect romance. Accept the fact that you or your partner is not ready for commitment. After all, commitment is a choice which is backed up with actions and maturity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Source:</span> The Times of IndiaMuskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-46436748974920734872009-09-12T20:46:00.003+04:002009-09-12T21:12:40.728+04:00Accepted Repentance<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCzRmb3uUjyREgBQw0TsdX5ENoMKRmCRhm3ulZmXYp96b-Dy_aU0twF_t9luZMLIRz5S6YRRbuCscVDXAYeRA_PtubQ5sFTZKdX3Z_AeD1qNue1-rWDObO4qIYlxhpONzzANKpL0QBPpy/s1600-h/Repentance1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 201px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGCzRmb3uUjyREgBQw0TsdX5ENoMKRmCRhm3ulZmXYp96b-Dy_aU0twF_t9luZMLIRz5S6YRRbuCscVDXAYeRA_PtubQ5sFTZKdX3Z_AeD1qNue1-rWDObO4qIYlxhpONzzANKpL0QBPpy/s320/Repentance1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380630029608310018" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We have all had the experience of failing time after time in changing old habits. Then suddenly these old habits lose their hold on us. What was so attractive suddenly becomes unattractive. This is a sign that God has accepted our repentance.<br />At this point, my sheikh used to say that we are no longer responsible for those old sins. We have truly changed and we are now someone who is not even tempted to commit them.</span><br /><br />(Robert Frager, Heart, Self & Soul, The Sufi Psychology of Growth, Balance and Harmony p. 71)Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-60628588949105469322009-09-12T20:24:00.004+04:002009-09-12T20:43:18.006+04:00Love Of God<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotdiboHQQ78jyvFCPzrzg_h1Hbax4oxTJankVOnBKie00yhfi1eEn1HKGaGMx9nER02cEs6987TRmTMjSg0YRYzexj6YFpI_dLi_NdgJKV7G3LN6nQPSk5QPpC4hZ7L7_KQNJPn4N9kE5/s1600-h/broken_jar-thumb.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 140px; height: 105px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotdiboHQQ78jyvFCPzrzg_h1Hbax4oxTJankVOnBKie00yhfi1eEn1HKGaGMx9nER02cEs6987TRmTMjSg0YRYzexj6YFpI_dLi_NdgJKV7G3LN6nQPSk5QPpC4hZ7L7_KQNJPn4N9kE5/s320/broken_jar-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380621744388531298" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">When you seek love, by grace of God<br />Your spirit turn into wine and your body into a jar.<br />When He increases the wine of His grace, the jar falls into pieces<br />Every knowledgeable knows without thinking,<br />That where there is disturbance, there is a Disturber....</span><br /><br />(Rumi)Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-26111233619941147092009-09-05T12:27:00.003+04:002009-09-05T12:33:37.623+04:00World Bank<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeZKkxdQq5JJx8k8rQRLvJG13Kf_NB2g2PAF62Q8bYgCujniXaxhS2VVyK9f9o8rH091Is-f7ogVOU74GNfPrb_SzUoJuJ6yTYAVXnxmgHo-lltFyYK5uCMwIqKEQ07hnmOiE6VhrFt4W/s1600-h/200px-World_Bank_Logo.svg.png"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUeZKkxdQq5JJx8k8rQRLvJG13Kf_NB2g2PAF62Q8bYgCujniXaxhS2VVyK9f9o8rH091Is-f7ogVOU74GNfPrb_SzUoJuJ6yTYAVXnxmgHo-lltFyYK5uCMwIqKEQ07hnmOiE6VhrFt4W/s320/200px-World_Bank_Logo.svg.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377898216251739058" /></a><br />The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides leveraged loans to poorer countries for capital programs with a goal of reducing poverty.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Formation</span> : 27 December 1945<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Type</span> : International organization<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Legal status</span>: Treaty<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Membership </span> :186 countries<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">President </span> :Robert B.

The World Bank sees the five key factors necessary for economic growth and the creation of an enabling business environment as:<br /><br />1.<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Build capacity:</span> Strengthening governments and educating government officials.<br />2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Infrastructure creation:</span> implementation of legal and judicial systems for the encouragement of business, the protection of individual and property rights and the honoring of contracts.<br />3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Development of Financial Systems</span>: the establishment of strong systems capable of supporting endeavors from micro credit to the financing of larger corporate ventures.<br />4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Combating corruption</span>: Support for countries' efforts at eradicating corruption.<br />5.<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Research, Consultancy and Training:</span> the World Bank provides platform for research on development issues, consultancy and conduct training programs (web based, on line, tele-/ video conferencing and class room based) open for those who are interested from academia, students, government and non-governmental organization (NGO) officers etc.<br /><br />The Bank obtains funding for its operations primarily through the IBRD’s sale of AAA-rated bonds in the world’s financial markets. The IBRD’s income is generated from its lending activities, with its borrowings leveraging its own paid-in capital, plus the investment of its "float". The IDA obtains the majority of its funds from forty donor countries who replenish the bank’s funds every three years, and from loan repayments, which then become available for re-lending.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The World Bank is active in the following areas:</span><br /><br /> * Agriculture and Rural Development<br /> * Conflict and Development<br /> * Development Operations and Activities<br /> * Economic Policy<br /> * Education<br /> * Energy<br /> * Environment<br /> * Financial Sector<br /> * Gender<br /> * Governance<br /> * Health, Nutrition and Population<br /> * Industry<br /> * Information and Communication Technologies<br /> * Information, Computing and Telecommunications<br /> * International Economics and Trade<br /> * Labor and Social Protections<br /> * Law and Justice<br /> * Macroeconomic and Economic Growth<br /> * Mining<br /> * Poverty Reduction<br /> * Poverty<br /> * Private Sector<br /> * Public Sector Governance<br /> * Rural Development<br /> * Social Development<br /> * Social Protection<br /> * Trade<br /> * Transport<br /> * Urban Development<br /> * Water Resources<br /> * Water Supply and SanitationMuskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-20086002139851171882009-08-22T12:17:00.004+04:002009-08-22T12:27:26.957+04:00Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfffNDVcL3j3qx_dfpLoefenaGwPGLdYfeH1zG84mMTSPDQxOb7AZrWxa93cWJDX7BZof4zjYEHbwAtXaqE5ECJALLhOlFPGOJG5fI18xxvfBugVpn8-jvNVwvNKu8Wz5fbSdttKpAttGo/s1600-h/sufism.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfffNDVcL3j3qx_dfpLoefenaGwPGLdYfeH1zG84mMTSPDQxOb7AZrWxa93cWJDX7BZof4zjYEHbwAtXaqE5ECJALLhOlFPGOJG5fI18xxvfBugVpn8-jvNVwvNKu8Wz5fbSdttKpAttGo/s320/sufism.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372701887201444450" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br />Kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha<br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br /><br />Kahin momkin hoa kahin wajib<br />Kahin fani kahin baqa dekha<br /><br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br />Kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha<br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br /><br />Kahin wo baadshaah-e-takht nasheen<br />Kahin kaasa liye ghada dekha<br /><br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br />Kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha<br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br /><br />Kahin wo der leebaas-e-mashoka<br />Ber-ser-ray naaz aur aada dekha<br /><br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br />Kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha<br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br /><br />Kahin aashiq niyaz ki soorat<br />Seena phir yon dil jala dekha<br /><br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha<br />Kahin zahir kahin chupa dekha<br />Yaar ko humne ja-ba-ja dekha....<br /></span>Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-56026559138872221272009-08-21T12:25:00.000+04:002009-08-21T12:33:04.854+04:00River of Love<span style="font-weight:bold;">The river of love has a reverse flow, he who enters will drown, he who drowns will get across.</span><br /><br />(Amir Khusrau)Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-28616181116326709962009-08-19T12:30:00.001+04:002009-08-19T12:32:43.630+04:00SteadfastnessIn Al Quran:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Verily, those who say: `Our Rubb is Allah (Alone),' and then they stand firm, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying): 'Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Jannah which you have been promised! We have been your friends in the life of this world and are (so) in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have (all) that your inner-selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask. An entertainment from (Allah), the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.''' (41:30-32)</span><br /><br />In Hadith:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sufyan bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something of Islam which I will not ask anyone else about it.'' He (PBUH) said, "Say, `I believe in Allah' and then be steadfast".<br />[Muslim].</span><br /><br />Steadfastness means adhering firmly to the injunctions of Islam, to act upon what is ordained and avoid what is prohibited, to perform dutifully orders in respect of obligations and what is regarded desirable and avoid what is unlawful. Faith is not a mere expression of Shahadah. The real Faith is one which is coupled with its actual practice because practice of religion is in fact the fruit of Faith. A tree which does not bear any fruit, has no value, similarly; faith becomes meaningless without practice. Steadfastness is the mark of perfect Faith.Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-46191484494508205532009-08-19T12:15:00.002+04:002009-08-19T12:25:33.658+04:00O Restless Heart Calm Down!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N0GYSFLsaCA2HRPYV8WF8FnVDQv16hf1JFhBbG6IXl2PSpoCnmJEr07UO2nTpFhJ47227Aakc9iHAjz5QKZWlvnjRcHOS7rDb20y4kSQfm5XRcseWlLxWg1BkoX1Kd3cG5aiSo80JHl5/s1600-h/214T32519-0.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N0GYSFLsaCA2HRPYV8WF8FnVDQv16hf1JFhBbG6IXl2PSpoCnmJEr07UO2nTpFhJ47227Aakc9iHAjz5QKZWlvnjRcHOS7rDb20y4kSQfm5XRcseWlLxWg1BkoX1Kd3cG5aiSo80JHl5/s320/214T32519-0.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371588112800753618" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">This darkness, it just keeps on enveloping<br />As if blood seeps from every pore of the night<br />Life throbs at such a delicate pulse<br />As if heavens sober up after drunken delight<br />Let the night's warm blood ooze some more<br />This darkness will blush the cheek of dawn<br />Morning comes, O restless heart calm down<br /><br />Fetters still ring in the background of music<br />Chaotic, as yet, the order of cause and effect<br />Tears pour too in the wine filled goblets<br />In the wobbling of feet a regard for etiquette<br /><br />At least wait for your lovers to become madly obsessed<br />At least wait for your taverns to resound with zest<br />Soon this need for a cause will evaporate as well<br />This respect for etiquette will evaporate as well<br />Even if the fetters continue, continue to ring.</span>Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-85428614015506757112009-08-17T13:30:00.002+04:002009-08-17T21:41:36.284+04:00Damn-e-dil<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-BxRm7FrOCcs3a-i9YLUCaXX67USJz2sPZ0fZNHBmWv4UvWkG6mtt9XR2xtceTYImtorzMrOT9NhuutE0DUPWYLiWBp1AoMB5COHhNKhE5hH_KwV3F0GNDtX_OCrLF94CafAa5AHXptbk/s1600-h/OgAAAGa8K9pOKVLKSBMbd4heFpgngjdtNzYR4LAa3xKk38Y_3LJYCZllDRN1uNiVsLnJI_eZGvL2jPI6doQgq3qddHUAm1T1UFSiI4_g7LOo28J4v8TWKS4JXJCv.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-BxRm7FrOCcs3a-i9YLUCaXX67USJz2sPZ0fZNHBmWv4UvWkG6mtt9XR2xtceTYImtorzMrOT9NhuutE0DUPWYLiWBp1AoMB5COHhNKhE5hH_KwV3F0GNDtX_OCrLF94CafAa5AHXptbk/s320/OgAAAGa8K9pOKVLKSBMbd4heFpgngjdtNzYR4LAa3xKk38Y_3LJYCZllDRN1uNiVsLnJI_eZGvL2jPI6doQgq3qddHUAm1T1UFSiI4_g7LOo28J4v8TWKS4JXJCv.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370989111804411858" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ham k dasht-e-juhan ko aabad kiey baithy hain<br />Arzu-e-yaar ko abb haaq kiey baithy hain<br />Khwab k taar se khuwaiesh ko rafu karty<br />Damn-e-dil ko abb chaak kiey baithy hain</span>Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-42917452570519996842009-08-17T13:15:00.003+04:002009-08-17T21:49:10.686+04:00Maturity<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JOpmUSfkN8RO8dnNcNw9ltWGnSgfEcdsmKY590T_RScheZjhMjaFi7QaByPNqJbycyyp1qNN_jHEnTAMZdS_eicbZRwoUOypBVMer5Tyn3Q5TARQGc8i0_i7cQLCpJNAJT_87XSw_TSE/s1600-h/OAAAANeFH-N4vxVh5374tHsKzzBbA8SS-EN6Dj63csb0hmn2LBLi9k10alfbPLUcwittdLQfdRv_rjTo-Kjfgr2DWWQAm1T1UK5jdCEihPGx70Vm-T5mS8kGKHaQ.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-JOpmUSfkN8RO8dnNcNw9ltWGnSgfEcdsmKY590T_RScheZjhMjaFi7QaByPNqJbycyyp1qNN_jHEnTAMZdS_eicbZRwoUOypBVMer5Tyn3Q5TARQGc8i0_i7cQLCpJNAJT_87XSw_TSE/s320/OAAAANeFH-N4vxVh5374tHsKzzBbA8SS-EN6Dj63csb0hmn2LBLi9k10alfbPLUcwittdLQfdRv_rjTo-Kjfgr2DWWQAm1T1UK5jdCEihPGx70Vm-T5mS8kGKHaQ.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370991176638560370" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dunya mai larkiou se ehmaq aur koi ho bhi nai sakta. khus fehmi ka aaghaz aur ehtutam hum per hi hota hai..

(65:3)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hadith:</span><br /><br />Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:<br /><br />When (Prophet) Ibrahim (Abraham) was thrown into the fire, he said: "Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs.'' So did Messenger of Allah Muhammad (PBUH) when he was told: "A great army of the pagans had gathered against him, so fear them". But this (warning) only increased him and the Muslims in Faith and they said: "Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)".<br /><br />[Al-Bukhari].Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-17272675401110639832009-08-11T10:01:00.003+04:002009-08-11T10:11:15.221+04:00I will die soon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA54AYVKpAmIjeyF7vOEt_1E-sNrWUPsJ0fohrPCBNrqrLVZGjM3CK0TWMZeox61rVgw7mRGYgpEl3ytu6-sLZUYhyphenhyphenaFxPPptDk3xQWujbal77IUaKIPYY9bJ6ZcYWhLIxBRdzJsJodzsN/s1600-h/teal.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA54AYVKpAmIjeyF7vOEt_1E-sNrWUPsJ0fohrPCBNrqrLVZGjM3CK0TWMZeox61rVgw7mRGYgpEl3ytu6-sLZUYhyphenhyphenaFxPPptDk3xQWujbal77IUaKIPYY9bJ6ZcYWhLIxBRdzJsJodzsN/s320/teal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368584352458050418" /></a><br />Every Night I tell myself<br />I will die soon...<br />no flowers will grow<br />it will end so<br />the sky will be dark<br />with no star, no moon<br />I will die soon...<br /><br />This beating of heart...<br />will stop, will halt...<br />this Relation of Body<br />with soul will part<br />I will dress in white<br />like a bride with no groom...<br />I will die soon...<br /><br />when the tears in my eyes,,<br />long for you !!<br />I live in a hope..<br />these days are few !!!<br />Do Make me a Favour,,<br />that if u can come<br />come for my dreams.....<br />if u can make them true<br />before all is gone<br />before all is doomed<br />I will die Soon...Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726234486033713148.post-30402324539702433952009-08-10T15:38:00.000+04:002009-08-14T21:55:36.440+04:00True Devotion<span style="font-weight:bold;">True devotion is for itself, not to desire Heaven nor to fear Hell.</span><br /><br />(Hazrat Rabyia basri)Muskanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11653373400175431973noreply@blogger.com0
