The Wisdom Of Islam

“Truth cannot be contained.

In a single dream”

-The Thousand And One Nights-

Yesterday, Krishna said that I should read this book called ‘The Wisdom Of Islam’. Because the way this book told the stories about Islam is obviously attracted and also nice, with those poems from those poets. When I was just read the first page, I was like “Ok, I will finish read this book!”.

So, voila! Here are the poems that I really like the most :


“You created night, I made the lamp. You created clay, I made the cup. You created the forest, the mountain, and the desert, I made the walk, the garden, the orchard”

Mohammed Iqbal

Indian Muslim poet (1875-1938)

 

“God has hidden the sea and revealed the foam, he has hidden the wind and revealed the dust. How could the dust rise of itself.. Yet you see the dust, not the wind. How could the foam move without the sea? But you see the foam and not the sea”

 Jalal al-Din Rumi

Sufi mystic poet (1207-1273

 

“A man madly in love knocked on the door of his beloved. She asked from behind the door : “Who is there?”.  He answered : “It is I!”. And she replied : “There is not enough room for both you and me in the same house.” So he betook himself to the desert to meditate. Years later he came back and knocked on her door. The voice of his beloved asked : “Who is it?”. He answered : “It is you yourself!”. And the door opened wide.

After Ibn Arabi

Andalusian mystic poet (1165-1240)

 

“I fear death,” said the birds.

“Can deatg exist for one whose heart is joined with God?” replied the hoopoe. “My heart is one with Him, this time and death no longer exist for me. For death is the suspension of time, and time is born of our attachment to things that perish.”

Farid al-Din Attar

Persian mystic poet (died c. 1230)


"Your image is in my eye
Your invocation is on my lips
Your abode is in my heart
Where then can You be absent?"

Husayn ibn Mansur al-Hallaj
Mystic Islamic poet (Baghdad 858/9-922)

 

“We believe in Allah

And that which is revealed unto us, And that which was revealed unto Abraham,

And Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, And that which Moses and Jesus received,

And that which the prophets received from their Lord.

We make no distinction between any of them”

The Koran, sura 2:136

Yes, we all make no distinction between any of them!

Video

 

I truly love this new video from Taylor Swift, Bad Blood. The concept looks like Sucker Punch the movie. A super woman with her friends, trying to beat the bad one. This video is also produced by Taylor herself. And the best part is, Hayley Williams from Paramore is also join the video as The Crimson Curse! :)

 

"Cause baby now we got bad blood

You know it used to be mad love

So take a look at what you've done

Cause baby now we got bad blood"

Fuller House

 

Yes, finally is totally confirmed that the 80s cute sitcom, Full House will back with still the same actors and actresses! Full House originaly aired from 1987 - 1995, and I remember I was only 5 or 6 years old back then. The story itself was about three men (a dad with his two brothers in law) raised three young girls. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen was played the part for Michelle Tanner which was my favorite!

 

But according to the website, the stars that will appear on Fuller House only Uncle Jesse, Stephanie Tanner, DJ Tanner and her best friend, Kimmy. The other stars are said to be "ongoing". Well, pretty sad about that. Because I hope I can see "the grown up" Michelle Tanner.

 

For other information, you can check this website :

Hopefully it will be on air in Indonesia pretty soon! :)

The slow wind blows

Today I went to Ancol Beach with my family. My aunties came from Jepara and Medan, so they asked me to bring them to Ancol. It was a lovely weather and also a lovely winds. We had our lunch at this restaurant name Saung Kuring.

We also went to Pasar Seni and met my uncle's friend who is a painter. And he gave me a paper fan that he made and painted by himself. I was so appreciated for looked around the gallery and admired all of the paintings there. I always have this 'crush thing' for arts. So I was really really really happy!

We should be proud of Pasar Seni. Because all of the painters are truly talented and have these magical hands to appreciate for!
