Noon Laam

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم HIS ME-TIME The sun sets and the night covers you with a thousand stars and an inexplicable warmth of its cool soothing breeze. And you suddenly know that the best part of your day has begun, your 'me-time'. When the birds fly back to their nests, people return to their homes, taking a deep breath of relief. When the families come together safe and sound where love can be felt in the atmosphere. When a reader grabs a literary masterpiece with a cup of coffee, and a cinephile plays an exciting hit with a bowl full of popcorns. When the spiritual meditate with relaxing shamanic music and the religious worship their Lord, reciting the holy scriptures. When two lovers experience each other's presence beneath the veil of deep silence, when a baby sleeps calmly on his mother's chest, when a child gives her father a tight hug after a long day of waiting, and when a loner immerses into solitude, there's someone out there whose 'my time...

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم BEYOND YOUR MIGHT . الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إزَالَةُ الرَّوَاسِي أسْهَلُ مِنْ تَأْلِيفِ القُلُوبِ المُتَنَافِرَةِ “Moving mountains is easier than bringing hostile hearts together.” Imam Ali (a) (Bihar Al-Anwar V. 78) This saying is addressing the magnetic nature of the heart. Just like everything else, a human heart has its own magnetic field which is much stronger than that of the brain. The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 100 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain and can be detected up to 3 feet away from the body. The heart's magnetic field, which is the strongest rhythmic field produced by the human body, not only envelops every cell of the body but also extends out in all directions into the space around us. No wonder our thoughts and emotions affect the heart’s magnetic field, which energetically affects those in our environment whether or not we are conscious of it. This a...

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم SILENCE .الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : رُبَّ كلامٍ جَوابُهُ السُّكوتُ “Many a speech is answered by silence.” Imam Ali (a) (Ghurar Al-Hikam) Sometimes we feel exhausted, done with everything, and everyone. Sometimes we intuitively know that being strategically silent is much better than revealing our thoughts about the situation we’re in. There is no doubt in the significance of expressing your ideas and emotions through your words. But, suppressing them when needed saves you from unnecessary trouble. One cannot get along with other human beings or resolve conflicts without suppressing what s/he strongly urges to say. Words have the ability to intensify the existing tension to a whole new degree. Silence allows us to take our time and stops us from giving an impulsive reaction. On the other hand, those pointless dramas are not even worth your energy and attention. Responding to such affairs makes you sound as stupid as the per...
