On Life and Death

"Death cannot be justified by reasons, it is God's will; but life can be justified by the choices you make. You can either die a victim of terrorism, or you can give your life fighting it and saving the future"
~Isbah Zulfiqar

Where there is a will, there is a way

If there is a way, I will find one
If there is none, I will make one
~Anonymous

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.

2 quotes i like

“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

~Anonymous

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

Blog Anniversary II

Two years ago I wrote on my first first blog post "If love is pure it never ends". Today I say again, "If love is pure it doesn't end, it only grows."

I leave a quote from One Tree Hill as a point to ponder on:

Imagine a future moment in your life where all your dreams come true. You know it's the greatest moment of your life and you get to experience it with one person. Who's standing next to you?

Stay tuned to SYRA STAR. Happy Blog Anniversary II.

Make dua for Anything you want. Everything you want

Peyton: "Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want".
Lucas: "Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from, the next smile. The next wish come true."
Peyton: "But if you believe that it is right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it. To the certainty of it."
Brooke: "You just might get the thing you're wishing for."
Nathan: "The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?"
Haley: "Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart."

~One Tree Hill

Present your most dear wish in the form of dua to the ever hearing Allah, and know at heart he can make it happen for you. One of the etiquette of making dua is to be firm. Allah mian likes the confidence we put in Him =).

I quote from this site:
Be firm when making dua: Yahya related from Malik from Abu’z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ”When you are making dua, do not say: ‘O Allah, forgive me if You wish. O Allah, forgive me if you wish.’ You should be firm in your asking, for there is no compelling Him.”
Source: Al Muwatta hadith 28, volume 15.

Happy Praying :)

For what's it worth----Protect It

The quote below striked to me. It's from the movie Pursuit of Happiness which is based on the inspiring true story on the struggle in the life of Christopher Gardner.

"You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period. "
~Christopher Gardner [to his son]

I also liked the following quote from the movie The curious case of Benjamin Button. The movie itself is interesting too. It's longer then the usual Hollywood movies and gets a bit slow. Nevertheless I liked it and would recommend it. The movie has no twists and turns. It's simply about the life of a person who ages backwards and that's the whole charm of the movie.

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

~Benjamin Button [Voice over; letter to his daughter]

All you need is ONE

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one.

A definition to remember

Recently I watched the hollywood movie: A walk to remember. It reminded me of two other movies namely Sweet November and The Notebook. All three being sweet movies and interesting to watch in their own place. If you have seen all three maybe you can connect the three movies too.
There is a quote in the movie from the bible that I liked, posting it below:

“Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and endurance. Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in the truth; It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.”

ILLUSION

Have you ever had a dream that seems so real, when you woke up you didn't know what to believe? What would you do if what you thought was true wasn't and what you thought wasn't true was? Would you retreat into your dreams with the hope of finding a more perfect reality? Sometimes life is stranger than a dream and the only way to wake up is to face what lies hidden in your soul. And you can only hope that in those moments of dark reflection that you are not alone."
[Lucas Scott-One Tree Hill]

Sooner or later you got to accept and face the reality. The sooner the better! Be brave.

Keep sailing

Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining. And passion, unattended is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
[Khalil Gibran]

Don't let the obstacles on the way override you. Remember, you are bigger then your problems. As long as you keep going, you will sail through eventually. The rudder and the sails can be fixed; if you keep going, your reason and your passion will reinforce each other too.

Whose dream am I dreaming?

Douglas Adams once wrote that he felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. I wonder too.....

The power lies within the heart

"In every community there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart there is the power to do it"
~Marianne Williamson

All I have is me

SAK, this one is for you :). I liked this shair.

"Zindagi to apne he kadmo pe chalti hai faraz
Auron ke sahaare to janazey uthha karte hain"

They say...

The biggest achievement in failure is knowing that you tried.

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak, sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go

Always listen to your heart, cause even though it's on your left, it's always right.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
~ Will Rogers

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
~ Lao-Tse

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

If you get ignored by some one, it means that you have been notice by that person first.
~ Dr. Tulli

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit that you are scared

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

You try,You fail, You try You fail, But the real failure is when you stop trying!
~ The Haunted Mansion, Walt Disney

It's only after we've lost everything, that we're free to do anything
~ Tyler Durden, [Brad Pitt] in Fight Club

Keep your head and heart going in the right direction and you wont have to worry about your feet.

Today is the Tomorrow, I was worried about Yesterday.

Pay no attention to those who talk behind your back! It simply means you are two steps ahead!

Those who are afraid to fall, will never fly

No matter how dark the night, morning always comes
~ lulu [final fantasy 10]

I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.

True Essence of Generosity

"Taking pains to remove the pains of others is the true essence of generosity. "
~ Hazrat Abu Bakr radi Allah anhu

Another saying that I like

"Be the reason for someone's happiness, not just a part of it, & Be a part of someone's sadness, but not the reason for it".
~Anonymous

My friends,
Care and Share, Spread the goodness :)

Test of a friend

"A friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested in three occasions: in time of need, behind your back, and after your death."

~Hazrat Ali [Radi Allah Anhu]

Ask yourself, do you honor your friend's trust? Do you safeguard his best interest? Do you keep his secrets? Are you there for him in time of need? Can he count on you when it matters? Are you a sincere friend? On the other hand, if your friend passes this test, then you are truly amongst the blessed ones.

Happiness for an hour, a day, a month, a year or a lifetime?

If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day, go fishing.
If you want happiness for a month, get married.
If you want happiness for a year , inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else.

~Old Chinese Proverb

Reflect

Watch your eye, should it ever reveal to you the faults of others, say to it: “O my eye, other people have eyes too.” [Ahmad al Zarruq]
