4th: O Habib

Al-Hussain writes a missive to his childhood friend Habib ibn Madhaahir."I would not call you here, but we are surrounded."

He leaves for Karbala at once, he frees his slave but the freed man loves Hussain more than temporal freedom and goes with him. They both are slain while defending the banner of Islam.

O Habib e Hussain. Glorified be your blood that purifies the soil of Karbala.

Reminder

Your mother is (justifiably) upset with you, Allah is upset. Your mother is angry at You, so is Allah. If your mother is forced to curse you, you are beyond God's Mercy, you are also accursed, the way all enemies of God are. Nine months in the womb. When your mother took care of you, she prayed for your life and health. When you nurse your old mother, you pray for her early release. Thank God, and thank your parents. For you can never repay the debt you have accrued from them.

I have it easier than others. For God loves me, my mum adores me and constantly forgives and my dad loves me too. As long as there is a body of water dividing us!

But I am me. I need to become a higher me.

The Prophet's desire

"Say O Muhammad: I ask of you no recompense save the love of my Kinsfolk" (Al-Quran)

"I am the city of knowedge and Ali is its gate. Whoso desires to approach the city of knowledge and wisdom should come through its gate".

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening.           General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it.
