Appreciation of Qura'an - Part 1
For Ibraheem, Allah showed his people how Ibraheem survived through fire.
When you hear about those stories, you find yourself wondering "How those people saw such unusual miracles and yet they disbelieved !! .. "How could Mousa's people see the sea split infront of their eyes and Allah saves them from Phareon & then they later on disbelieved and asked Moussa 'Show us Allah' !!"
{فَقَالُوا أَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً}
Stay tuned.

دع الأيام
وكن رجلا على الأهوال جلدا ..::.. وشيمتك السماحة والوفاء
ورزقك ليس ينقصه التأني ..::.. وليس يزيد في الرزق العناء..
إذا ما كنت ذا قلب قنوع ..::.. فأنت ومالك الدنيا سواء..
ومن نزلت بساحته المنايا ..::.. فلا أرض تقيه ولاسماء..
وأرض الله واسعة ولكن ..::.. إذا نزل القضا ضاق الفضاء..
دع الأيام تغدر كل حين ..::.. ولا يغني عن الموت الدواء

Brand new !!
He jumped out of his bed, not knowing why he woke up at that time !! .. It was just that inner call telling him to get up, go out to his garden & start digging near the fence..
Strange it was, yet he followed that mysterious inner call without thinking.. although his eyes were almost shut down & exhausted, yet, he continued his way out of his house's door towards his garden..
Step by step he walked, holding his spade towards the place where that anonymous call is leading him..
Everything was silent except for some sounds of night's bugs around... even if that sounded scary, he was carefree, concentrating only in digging..
He dug faster & faster... Although it was cold outside, yet he started sweating.. with an inner belief inside that he will reach something that deserves all this..
& yes, he was totally right ! .. After that tough digging journey, he finally found it !!!!! ... It was amazing .. no no.. much more than amazing !! .. It was something that no one has ever seen before..
yeah that's true.. for he can't even describe what he was looking at right now... It was simply a stone, but what was really different was its color !! .. It wasn't blue or red or any other color.. It was a brand new color... yes, can u believe it ?? .. he discovered a new color !! .. not the traditional colors we know.. It is a new color that nobody has ever known or seen before !!!
Yeah.. It was just awesome !! ... He kept there stunning not believing what he was seeing.. He never knew that he could see that in his life ever !! .. He never thought there might exist another colors he never saw !! .. wow.. did you ever thought about that feeling !! ..
After a few hours, he began to feel tired and sleepy.. although he was still much excited, he couldn't prevent himself from walking back to his bed..
Back to his bed, he put his head to sleep again.. dreaming about what will people do when they just see that amazing stone.
In the morning, he wake up full of energy.. headed towards his garden to get his stone and take it to the nearest journal or TV channel..
Arriving there beside that hole in his garden, he looked down.. but, ohhhhh, it wasn't there !!!!!
How could that be ?! .. He felt really stupid for leaving it down in the garden the day before.. but wait... could that be a dream !! .. no no, what about that hole in his garden.. also, he still remember that new color & how beautiful it looked !!
He stayed there for a while feeling so sad... Desperately, he walked back again to his home.. to go get ready for his work to start a new day in his routine life.. He felt so upset as for now he couldn't even narrate this to anyone.. cause no one would ever imagine or believe what he once saw.. nobody would ever imagine how beautiful the new color looked and even he can't describe it to others...
.. He headed back to his home, feeling sad, but different.. for he will never forget that new amazing wonderful color.. that color that nobody saw except himself !

You can eat an elephant !
Oh,yes you can it's true.
They may be huge but not to worry,
they aren't to big for you.
"Just how can I eat such a thing
that's so immense in size?"
"Just look at it in pieces
and make them all bite size."
You see to look from head to tail
can be a daunting task.
Many would just give up now
and let the elephant pass.
Look at it as if you can
eat it piece by piece,
It may take you a while,
but your goal you will reach.
So, next time you have a task
that is difficult to do,
Remember, you can eat an elephant
so take a piece and chew!
(Copied)
See the moral in that ;) .. Remember, you can eat an elephant :)

The Containers..
That's exactly how I see our lives... Your life is a set of containers of different sizes.. There is a container called "Family".. Another one called "Friends".. & also there are "Career", "Fun".. etc.. The number of the container is unlimited.. you can have many containers as you want.. but you have limited of amount of the liquid to pour into your containers.. That liquid is your time & energy..
In all your life, you are supposed to pour from your time & energy to fill your containers (fields of interests).. Some people cares about only one portion of their lives & dedicate themselves to it.. Others give the whole energy & time to all things they are engaged in.. Others divide their energy equally but yet they never end with any of the containers filled..
The problem is not how to fill your containers.. the problem is the the more your pour in one, the less the remaining for others.. another problem is the sizes of the containers, they depend on the person... there are some people who thinks about their career as the biggest container they have & want to fill... others puts highest priority to their personal lives..
Why am I saying all this.. I dunno.. but maybe deep thinking about my own containers ended up with these strange thoughts..

Losing hope..
I remember my first days at college, I was full of enthusiasm and hope.. I had that passion and energy to try to make a change in the community around.. I had hope that everything will go fine and with the help of all good people around, we will be better in shaa Allah.. I imagined that everything should go so smooth and fine.. I also saw people full of enthusiasm, & that gave me more energy to have more hope.. I remember my first summer vacation (when I was in first year), I spent it all in 'ACM training' with Dr Abdalla Gamal & in the 'Hacking tool box' sessions by Dr.Ahmed Safwat.. I saw hope in those people's eyes.. they had the passion to make a change.. & yeah.. those people used to make me feel there's hope..
.. But.. what truly happened inside me in those 4 years? .. mm.. I won't say I'm depressed, cause it is not that bad.. yet.. there's sth that changed inside me.. that 'hope' isn't there any more.. I felt like... mm.. I dunno..
One faced situations that made him see how much some people are so evil.. they are not only concerned by acting badly, they also prevent you from acting well.. In those 4 years I saw the people who used to give me hope, losing hope.. maybe they didn't, but that's the attitude I got.. and if they did feel so, they are right.. all circumstances here should make you feel so..
Small it is (our college community) in compared to our BIG community (Egypt), but I didn't feel much differences.. It is only a small clone.. Everything around you should lead you to great depression.. sometimes small things happen that awakens the hope inside you.. yet, most of the time you will just feel that you wanna let it all go !!
maybe I'm mistaken.. but that's how I felt the change in my attitude towards life in general after 4 years in FCIS.. I still have hope we can change, yet I'm now aware that we are not living in Utopia after all and I think the light of hope I see is not as sharp as I previously saw it 4 years ago...

ألهاكم التكاثر
المهم.. أنا بعد ما قريت اللي أسماء كتباه افتكرت موضوع انا طول عمري نفسي اتكلم عليه.. و هو تفسير الأية ::
التكاثر :: كلمة واحدة صحيح بس لو فكرت فيها هتلاقى كذا معنى
التكاثر في الأموال , التكاثر في العلم, التكاثر في الذرية, التكاثر في الشهادات... التكاثر ..التكاثر في حاجات كتير
و ده فعلا صحيح جدا.. اى واحد فينا هيلاقي نفسه مقضي حياته كلها في الدراسة و البيت و الشغل و .. و حاجات كتير كلها لغرض واحد هو انه يبقى أحسن, أو يكسب فلوس أكتر, أو يعرف أكتر.. و كلها حاجات تقع تحت كلمة التكاثر
اد ايه انا بقيت احس بالأية ديه كل لما أقرأها دلوقتي.. و اد ايه بقيت انتبه ان الحاجات ديه متشغلنيش علشان الجزء التاني من الآية حتّى زرتم المقابر
يا رب الكلام ده يبقى مفيد لأى حد.. و يا رب مفيش حاجة تشغلنا ابدا عن ذكر الله.. و عذرا على لغتي العربية الفصيحة

Your battery needs to be replaced !!
Actually, for me this is more than just a warning cause I felt the warning is not about the laptop only.. I felt that MY battery also need to be replaced !!
Of course human being doesn't need batteries to work.. ha !! .. but sometimes there are things that gives us motives to go on & encourage us to keep on moving.. Those tiny little things are sometimes like batteries for us.. losing those "things" make us moving slowly, with no enthusiasm, depressed.. etc..
Currently -after about 4 years in college- , I feel I'm tired from the college's endless cycle.. I'm tired of studying.. I'm tired of reading.. I'm even tired of writing in this blog !! ..
I dunno why.. but I'm just like my laptop's battery.. suddenly, bad performance !!
I think wt the one really needs is sitting down with his own self 'recharging' his batteries.. but I think sometimes recharging isn't much helpful -like my state now-.. so here comes again the importance of the warning "your battery needs to be replaced !!"
It is good to remember the importance of replacing my battery each time I open that laptop.. & I think I should be replacing it soon.. in shaa allah..
Anyway, just fuzzy thoughts as usual...

Don't ask why..
& usually following those situations, we ask ourselves 'why that happened?'.. & many times we don't find clear answers... sure we tell ourselves 'Thank god', but many people just say that by only their tongues..
I just want to narrate a story that happened to me one day.. its not a big one, but it has a meaning to deliver..
One day while I was closing my car, I broke one of my car doors' lock from inside, that was followed by "oh no.. anyway, Thank god".. I was a bit upset cause I have to go somewhere to mend it & I didn't have much time..
Anyway, following that situation by a couple of days.. I had to go somewhere far so I parked my car in a place & took a bus.. anyway, I parked it at 8 am & went back at 9 pm.. when I was back there, I found that someone tried to steal my car.. he broke the small part of the back window in order to open it, but he couldn't break through because simply the door lock was broken at that side so he couldn't open it !!!!
without me breaking my car locks, the car would have been stolen.. At then the bit of annoyance I had when I broke the car lock days ago was turned to extreme gratefulness to Allah..
so, wt I want to say that sometimes we don't see why are those small things/situations happening, while if we saw the whole picture, we will truly understand the meaning of 'why'.. Most of the times we don't even see the 'whole picture', but then we should understand & believe that there are always reasons for every little thing happening and that Allah always brings the best for us..
so don't frown at other faces, they have nth to do with things happened or happening, even if they were a part of it.. Allah wants that to happen, There's a wisdom for that to happen..
Sometimes we pass through hard & bitter experiences just to make us strong enough.. imagine you are moving from first floor to the third floor.. you should pass by the second floor.. maybe that can be hard experience.. maybe you are faced by things you don't like.. but you'll never be in the third without passing by the second.. I mean that sometimes things happen to us just to make us ready for the next steps..
Anyway, Try to find sth positive in everything that happens to u even if u don't see it (I'm sure there is) & believe deeply that this is the best.. I appreciate that this is very hard sometimes.. but at least give it a try & don't ask why...

Fuzzy Thoughts(2)
I'm writing this post & not knowing what I am intending to write or why.. I even dunno if it is going to join the 52 drafts written before or not.. maybe... I dunno..
well, This is my final year at FCIS (in shaa Allah).. I have a huge mixture of feelings.. I feel I don't wanna leave college.. not because I love FCIS as much as I love the people in FCIS..
I love my dof3a.. I love my colleagues.. 7ata el mo3edeen wel doctors.. I appreciate many of them much & can't imagine the absence of some characters of them from my life..
"That's Life" as many people say.. but I don't accept that fact this time.. I can't imagine that by the end of this year I will close a whole chapter of my life & write on it "archive"..
It is true that this is not the first closed chapter, yet its the most affecting chapter in my whole life & it is difficult to see it being closed that easy... I still feel I just joined FCIS yesterday..
Although this is the final year, yet I don't feel I am effective in others life as I always hoped.. I always dreamed about leaving a footprint in FCIS ,but here we are in the final year & I still feel I didn't do much...
well, I just poured out some of the fuzzy thoughts going inside my mind.. All I can say that I will miss those days, I will even miss staying up till night going tasks & studying online with my friends.. I will miss everything.. so just let us enjoy it before time comes & everyone begins another new chapter in his life with none of us in it..
I still feel there's sth inside me that I can't express, but let that be in another post..
Thanks for listening/reading..
Fuzzy Thoughts(1)
Sometimes, we have fuzzy thoughts.. translating those thoughts to words is almost impossible.. you keep feeling something inside yet you can never pour it out..
Wish I can.. Wish I will...

More than just a memory...
I dunno, suddenly I remembered a situation that happened to me @ school in first preparatory I think.. ohh.. I almost forgot about that situation before...I dunno why I suddenly remembered that situation.. maybe feelings matching..
I remember that day when I was in my class sitting there during my French session.. waiting for the teacher to announce the best organized & neat copybooks.. I had a feeling inside that I will be among those ones cause simply I stayed all night organizing my copybook & completing the things I missed when I was sick the past week.. I had it so much colorful & organized...
The teacher started talking.. she said that she was glad from all the copybooks & that all of them were very good, except for 4 copybooks that were so bad, she was speechless about them..
she said that she's gonna say those 4 first before announcing the others.. the teacher started looking at the copybooks.. & here was the shock..."Roaa Mohammed, Stand up"
I really can't forget that moment.. I was SHOCKED with all the word means.. ME!!?? .. my heart was faaast beating.. my hands were shaking.. I don't remember the words the teacher altered, all I remember that she was shouting much & me can't even breathe from my shock.. I was wondering whyyyyyyy!!?.. wtever I did, I DON'T DESERVE this.. the reaction I got was so unexpected.. I felt nth but sitting down with the copybook thrown in my face...
I was so much hurt badly that I burst into tears... "I stayed allll night working on it, how could this be!"
After the 1-year long session ended, I decided to examine my copybook & check what was that so bad that I did.. & here is wt I found.. I was sick for a whole week & I copied the missing parts from a printed paper that my friend gave me, but my friend made some mistakes in printing so I had some parts missing.. that was wt made the teacher angry !!
I explained that to the teacher, she removed the mark from my copybook but the mark she made in my heart was still the same....
At that time, I thought I will never forgive that teacher, but I can tell u that by secondary I did forgive her..
It really hurts badly when you receive the opposite of what you deserve..
Finally, I'm sorry if I ever did that to anyone by mistake, I never do mean it to hurt anybody.. & also I'll try hard to forgive those who did the same to me.. maybe now I don't, but I am sure I will do that one day just like my teacher...
This post was written on a paper in my compiler section.. & those voices were simply the T.A & my colleagues voices..

My Pen..
I hold my pen to write some words
I don't know what my pen is heading towards
so I leave it to write with no constraints
but in the middle, my writing faints
cause my pen is unable to describe
& words are so difficult to even type
my pen stops & pauses for a little while
& thoughts flow in my head over like a pile
my hands become so weak that I let my pen go
& let my dripping tears, instead, flow
I try to grasp my pen all over again
trying to endure that feeling of pain
After an hour or two, my pen decides to start
to try to write some words, few lines apart
but again & again, my pen is paralyzed
cause some feelings are so hard to be realized
My pen loses hope to be able to express
& the more I feel now of pain & stress
so my pen returns again to my little case
Leaving me & my thoughts in an indescribable maze.

My Teacher...
She taught me a a lot of things about how to survive
she taught me to be tough so that I can live
but at the same time,be soft, & able to forgive
she taught me to dream, all my dreams are possible
but also put in mind that there are somethings impossible
she taught me there is always hope & never to give up
She taught me to keep on trying & never to stop
She taught me some sweet words like love & care
but also she taught me words like hatred & despair
She taught me to love my family & friends so much
but also be ready to lose them at any time as such
she taught me not to hide my feelings from anyone
but pretend to be strong when everyone around me has gone
she taught me that life has to go on, no matter what happens
No matter how many problems I face or how many troubles
She taught me to care about others & not to hurt anyone
but at the same time,endure the pain that others have done
she taught me to give away & not wait for anything in return
she taught me to be patient & to wait for things to come in turn
she taught me to listen to others & share them their pain
while keep my sorrow inside me even if that'll drive me insane
she taught me to love people, no matter how much they care
& always my happiness & gay, with them I should share
she taught me a lot of lessons that I will never forget
learning them was something that I will never regret.
& if you asked me about my teacher who taught me all that
I will tell you all I know about her is just a small fact;
She is a very hard & tough teacher who rarely knows fun
All her lessons are morals but each one of them is a bitter one

Be Like a Pencil..

One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.
Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a
better pencil.
Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
And Five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
Four: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
And Five: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to do your duties.
The previous story was copied.. but I have a final comment.. Allah created each of us for a reason... & each of us has different talents.. so use them & endure anything that happens to u.. & keep that belief inside u.. & do everything while having a meaningful purpose in your heart... Just like a Pencil.. :)

Allah is always there..
Allah is always there....
When u feel depressed or annoyed
& that all your dreams are destroyed
Just remember a fact which is very true
that Allah is always there for you
Allah always brings the best to us
That's a fact you should always trust
But that fact we hardly realized
cause blesses are usually disguised
& also we are always in a hurry
we fear too much & always worry
But if you truly left, to Allah, your burden
& be accepting what he will bring for certain
Then be sure that he will never let you
& that Allah will bring the best to you
For every little thing that made you sad
& those hard times that you ever had
be sure that everything has a reason behind
Allah knows better, just keep in mind
That painful wound you had yesterday
was a reason to make you stronger today
& that situation that happened to you
was to make you realize some fake people around you
& that thing that made you cry one day
was a message from Allah to get back to the right way
& many more of those things we thought
were blocking the way to the happiness we sought
But they just turn out to be the best for us
& that we needn't have made all that fuss
So despite winds of sadness that may blow
Just remember we are too ignorant to know
And whenever anything happens to you
Just remember that Allah is always there for you..

Dreams Vs. illusions
I always believed that everyone should dream & that 'nothing is impossible' & that sort of things, but I was mistaken anyway..
Sometimes we give some dreams more than reality can give.. that they turn out to be 'illusions'.. we keep following 'illusions' till we find out that they are false... but when do we find out that ??.. usually too late..
who said "nothing is impossible' was simply lying or at least that's an illusion he wanted people to believe in.. but its not true, There are somethings impossible.. Its never logic for a human being to be able to move a mountain for example !!
I don't say to you not to dream.. no, dream.. but don't dream much cause in this case your dreams will turn to be just illusions.. & then it will really hurt badly...
Imagine the feeling of a person walking for months to reach a bottle of water in the desert, & when he reaches there, it turned to be nth at the end.. just his own illusions..
so finally life taught me to Dream, but not much..
