Time is two days, one of safety, one of danger & Zaman iki gündür , güvenli ve tehlikeli & by Imam Ash sha’afi (rahimullaah ta’ala)
And from misery is that you love, and (the one) who you love, loves other than you,
Or that you want good for a person, and he wants to hurt you..!!
و من الشَقاوة أن تحبَ
و من تحبُ يحبُ غيرك
أو أن تريد الخير للأن
سان و هو يريد ضيرك
Ne büyük bahtsızlıktır,sen onu severken onun başkasını sevmesi
Yada sen o insana hayır dilerken onunda senin zararını istemesi…!!
They said, ‘You’ve been disputed but yet you keep silent?’
I said, ‘Indeed a response will only be a key to the doors of evil.’
Remaining silent from an ignorant one is indeed a virtue
And in it is also reform and protection of honour.
Do you not see how the lion is feared, although he is silent?
And yet dogs are disgraced, but by God do they bark.
قالوا : سكت و قد خوصمت، قلت لهم: , ان الجواب لباب…

A Plea
The images are raw and shocking – but this is always the way in wars on civilians – maybe if those doing the fighting and killing had to see their intended and unintended victims they would stop. No one can say they are just taking orders any longer – the killing has to stop. Mercy and forgiveness to those killed and the killers and kill no more.
Dearest of all
This soul is aching
Trembling in pain
Bodies of maimed toddlers
Bleeding in vain

O dearest of all
Heal this aching soul
With heavenly cure
O dearest of all
This soul is shattered
Weeping in despair
Is this our planet home , or is it really hell on earth
Does anyone notice, or even care
O dearest of all
Please mend this shattered soul
Caress her to endure
O dearest of all
This soul is tarnished
Screams of the dying, what a nightmare
Babies soaked in blood
More than anyone can bare
O dearest of all
Please rinse this tarnished soul
With mist and snow
O dearest of all
This soul is cold
Bombing all around, death is everywhere
Crowds of gazing eyes
But no one is there
O dearest of all
Please warm this cold soul
Love divine serene azure
O dearest of all
This soul is dimmed
Its spark has long…

Army Veteran Back From Afghanistan Shot And Killed At Party: LAist
RIP – sad++!
Francisco Garcia, who got back this summer from serving in Afghanistan, was partying at his girlfriend’s house on Dronfield Street, according to City News Service. He and other partygoers went outside the house and into the street around 2 a.m., where two cars stopped and a man jumped out of one car to confront Garcia.
The man grabbed a gun from the other car and started shooting, according to police. Garcia was shot and killed at the scene. Police believe the young vet was the target due to a dispute with the men that occurred before the party.
“The ironies are obvious,” LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon told City News Service. “To survive as a soldier in an overseas conflict, only to be killed in your neighborhood upon your return.”
Garcia recently posted on Facebook that he applied to join the California Highway Patrol and was accepted, KTLA reports.

St. Francis Manuscripts Bound for U.S. Display – NYTimes.com
New Yorkers will see it soon, as Father Massetti and his collaborators are finishing restoring 13 medieval manuscripts of the 19 artifacts from the Sacred Convent of St. Francis in Assisi, before their departure for the United States on Monday.
Leaving Italy for the first time in 700 years, the documents will be shown at the United Nations headquarters Nov. 17-28, and then be open to the public in Brooklyn Borough Hall until mid-January in an exhibition, “Friar Francis: Traces, Words and Images.”

Let’s Dance. | Rebelle Society
By Leila Hussein
Puddles.
Let me never stop jumping in puddles.
When I’m 80, I still want to be the kind of girl
(and I say girl because I will be),
who dreams and blows kisses
at life on a sea breeze.
Swings.
Let me never stop going on swings.
Let the winter time not touch my heart
too late like the others,
let me discover my wings
even more as I get older.
Clouds.
Let me never stop wishing on a cloud,
and feeling my own magnificence
envelop me as I look to the sky and what I can be,
what I really am.
Dandelions.
Let me never stop blowing
dandelions down the street,
chuckling as they flee,
like a bale of hay
skipping merrily in my heart.
I am so glad for the art of living,
for the song in my heart that wills me
to get up in the morning and sing.
And dream.
For the little girl in me
Who likes to dream big.
And who will never die,
I hope.
So if you see me skipping on raindrops
down the street at age 90, please join me.
And remind me of this poem.
I will be glad to meet your acquaintance
and dance with you.
Cherry pies.
Never let me stop from wanting
to eat them when they are red hot,
because the child in me
can’t stop herself from tasting it.
A person’s touch.
Let me never become immune to it.
Ever.
Jazz.
Never let me stop feeling it in my spirit,,
even as the wind whispers age.
Fairy tales.
Let me never stop telling them,
to my nephew, my nieces or to myself.
Laughter.
Let me never stop chuckling.
Belly-ripping roars that threaten
to overcome me and have me hunched over
with tears that pour.
Babies.
Let me never stop learning from them.
As their eyes melt forth and speak of a wisdom,
a heart centuries old.
Flowers.
Let me never stop smelling them,
standing in awe at their beauty.
Let me never forget my surroundings
and tune it all out,
nature and its entirety.
Hope.
Let it never leave me.
Even when faith has forgotten its way.
Love.
Let it never stop bleeding out of me.
Every tiny essence of it.
Songs.
Let them never leave me.
Even when there is silence around.
Water.
Let it always lead the way home.
And keep me strong and healed,
connecting me to truth.
Mud.
Let me dance in it. Barefoot.
Preferably with people I love.
But alone is good too.
The Sea.
Let it never stop calling me,
inviting me to lay in its rhythms,
and soothe myself at ocean floor.
The Sky.
Let me always look up at it.
Wondering about the heights
I will climb in my time left on this earth.
Life.
Let me never believe the myth
that it is long, arduous or hard.
Let me always be willing
to let it in just one more time..
Until the sun comes up once more.

‘I’ve had enough’, says Mexico Attorney General in massacre gaffe | Reuters
Six weeks on, the government has yet to confirm the students’ fate.
Thousands marched on Saturday evening from the attorney general’s office to Mexico City’s central Zocalo square. Many carried hand-made placards and banners with the hashtag as well as posters calling for Murillo’s resignation. Others held candles and posters that said “Justice!” or “Enough!”.
Another march by protesters who have walked 180 km (112 miles) from Iguala to the capital is set to culminate in the Zocalo on Sunday.
