limits

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

Even the unseen and hidden things in the air, is not unnoticed by Hu. Nor things deeply hidden in the darkness of black nights, all things high above in heavens and down to the lowest earth are not unnoticed to Hu. For everything there is a protector and a guard and everything therein has limits within something and a limit for that limit. (Imam Abu Abdallah (AS) Al-Kafi h. # 346)

The Carrier

hearts

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Ya Rabb! Let not our hearts deviate now after You have guided us, but grant us mercy from Your own Presence; for You are the Grantor of bounties without measure. (Qur’an 3:8)

And yet, after all this, your hearts hardened and became like rocks, or even harder: for, behold, there are rocks from which streams gush forth; and, behold, there are some from which, when they are cleft, water issues; and, behold, there are some that fall down for awe of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what you do! (Qur’an 2:74)
