It become no longer sufficient to meet human’s will. What we need are a device that may classify pics, recognize bizarre cells among healthy cells, or play chess or go together with us!

<p style="text-align: justify;">As Korean, the biggest event in last decade about AI was ofc, the
great Google Deepmind Challenge match, the Go match held in 2016 between
AlphaGo and Sedol Lee for 5 days. The match between the best Go
artificial intelligence program and the best human talent in Go
attracted attention, and the final result was AlphaGo’s victory over
Sedol Lee with four wins and one loss. This incident imprinted the
concept of artificial intelligence on Koreans.
Artificial intelligence can be easily found in our lives. Artificial
intelligence is also used to determine whether Netflix’s recommendation
system, Google’s automatic completion function, Apple Watch users are
exercising or not, and whether smartphones will catch Wi-Fi or use a
communication network.

Overseas autonomous driving technology status </h3><p style="text-align: justify;">The development of
autonomous driving technology is focusing on commercialization and
product production rather than technology R&D, and the pace of
development is accelerating. Global market company Navigant Research
published a report on the competitiveness of 19 major global companies
developing autonomous driving technologies and platforms.
Competitiveness is compared based on vision, market entry strategy,
partnership, production strategy, technology,
sales/marketing/distribution, product quality and reliability, and
classified into leading, competition, challenge, and subgroups. GM,
Google Waymo, Daimler, and Ford formed the leading groups, PSA, Toyota,
Volvo, Baidu, Navya, and Hyundai were competing groups, while Apple,
Uber, Tesla, and Honda were evaluated as challenging groups. </p><p><br />

Google Waymo </h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Google's subsidiary Waymo is trying to solve problems
such as lane keeping, which requires constant observation of the driver
to create a system that can fully autonomously drive without a driver.
Currently, it has completed an autonomous driving system of level 4 of
the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), which requires the
driver's observation only under certain conditions. Waymo built a
system that recognizes and reacts to obstacles and events around the car
using lidar, cameras, radar, and other ancillary sensors. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Waymo's
autonomous driving software can be divided into three main stages:
observation stage, behavior prediction stage, and planning stage. In
the observation stage, objects around the road are recognized, what they
are, and their speed, direction, and acceleration are measured. In the
behavior prediction step, the recognized objects predict how they will
behave around the road. Waymo can make predictions based on the
experience of driving millions of miles. In the planning stage, based
on the information obtained in the previous two stages, the car will
plan which route to take. In their experience, they think defensive and
timid driving is the safest. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />The Waymo system can create a map and
locate a car through real-time information with a deep understanding of
the physical environment such as road type, distance, and dimension. In
addition, it is equipped with a system that collects and interprets
data obtained through trial driving. A system was also developed to
protect against hacking caused by internet connection. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdc4lHSrKtuweGiWUfgemrgwJxCBbGADMJ61dA4YNyoynF9ZxNXb_XaLqeyYUmTKnsCcnHjiEcBZmiLNpuLBfFMQEXl0ig5RFg2hdLEJhNC5_UbQ_ngiAz9cyz445vXlYl1l5JgFZhAQ-/s579/1*BGJSKe95j7S7be8ZjTuSnA.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="579" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdc4lHSrKtuweGiWUfgemrgwJxCBbGADMJ61dA4YNyoynF9ZxNXb_XaLqeyYUmTKnsCcnHjiEcBZmiLNpuLBfFMQEXl0ig5RFg2hdLEJhNC5_UbQ_ngiAz9cyz445vXlYl1l5JgFZhAQ-/w400-h288/1*BGJSKe95j7S7be8ZjTuSnA.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</p><h4>
Tesla Autopilot </h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Tesla's Autopilot is Tesla's autonomous driving
system and hardware that provides lane maintenance, car control,
autonomous parking, and lane change with driver confirmation. Tesla
aims to provide fully autonomous cars. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Advanced autopilots adapt to
traffic conditions, keep their lanes, and change lanes on their own
without driver intervention. If you move from another arterial road to
another arterial road and get close to your destination, you can get out
of the arterial road by yourself and park your car automatically. <br /></p><p>

Current status of open self-driving platforms abroad </h3>
<h4>
Baidu Apollo </h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Baidu unveiled the autonomous driving platform'Apollo
3.0' in July 2018. 'Apollo 3.0' is the level 4 level of the American
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Level 4 is a level that does not
require driver intervention, but the driver must be on board in case of
an emergency. 'Apollo 3.0' is equipped with a program that allows
developers and partners to develop autonomous vehicles within three
months. The program consists of autonomous parking, unmanned
self-driving delivery, and unmanned self-driving shuttle service. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />In
the case of valet parking, all vehicles can use the autonomous parking
service at a cost of about $1509 (about 1.68 million won) by adding only
a camera and an ultrasonic radar. You can also use autopilot kits,
security systems, and operational scheduling solutions. In addition,
interesting technologies such as Baidu's voice recognition software,
facial recognition technology, fatigue symptom monitoring technology,
and customized services are also installed. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Based on this
technology, Baidu plans to pilot ten 14-seater self-driving minibuses,

</p><h4>Autoware Foundation Autoware </h4><div style="text-align: justify;">Autoware was jointly developed by
Nagoya University and Nagasaki University in Japan, and was released in
August 2015, and is still being actively developed. Autoware is an
application software developed based on the robot software platform ROS
(Robot Operation System). When a 3D point map created using LiDAR is
given in advance, Autoware compares the 3D point cloud data obtained
from the LiDAR while driving to determine the location of the vehicle in
real time. Once the location is determined, the driving route to the
destination can be planned and autonomous driving can be performed by
controlling the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and gear
stick. </div></div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-14236efb-7fff-07bb-ee65-c762f63b8ffe"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: medium none; display: inline-block; height: 269px; overflow: hidden; width: 394px;"><img height="273" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/O1vfpuhj2_R9I-7yD3cKe3skBdiEhTWcq0i0YWT1d-b3BvShCVeWRXdZv7p8Rnt7Vh4UG0VPmPozYlESILD_cbaN9-5HBziV53dzKkrai4OxL2o3oRsBFYsVmdT5gu0OYxBEQJbx=w400-h273" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="400" /> </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The figure schematically shows the operation process of Autoware.
First, in the recognition step, the position of the host vehicle is
identified on a three-dimensional point map using a lidar, and an
obstacle is recognized with a camera. Second, in the determination
step, a safe driving route is planned based on the identified
information and the input final destination information, and a driving
lane, an entrance lane at an intersection, etc. are determined. Third,
in the driving step, the target steering angle and target speed of the
vehicle are determined in real time according to the given driving path
and transmitted to the vehicle control computer. Finally, the vehicle
control computer manipulates the wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake
pedal to achieve the delivered goal. <br />

Mcity Test Facility University of Michigan, USA </h4>The Mcity Test
Facility is a test site designed to test and simulate autonomous
vehicles and technologies in urban and suburban environments. Mcity
worked with the Michigan Department of Transportation to design a unique
test facility that simulates the complex vehicles encountered in urban
and suburban environments. Mcity is located on the University of
Michigan's North campus site with approximately 16 acres of road and
transportation infrastructure. It has about 5 lanes with obstacles such
as intersections, traffic signs, signals, sidewalks, buildings, street
lights, and construction barriers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-sskld2Z7H5r_119XBLCWGXwKARLN3VWpXxUTLCsgtC__8pvnx-P-VQ0TNrk5XAuF_xcpvKWPMESO3B8wXd8-byiXy91jEyuPvKzZj9X01SiUJi3px_hyphenhyphendi5kduKXt6KKgoPSJmyUkBot/s2048/UM-teams-with.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1393" data-original-width="2048" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-sskld2Z7H5r_119XBLCWGXwKARLN3VWpXxUTLCsgtC__8pvnx-P-VQ0TNrk5XAuF_xcpvKWPMESO3B8wXd8-byiXy91jEyuPvKzZj9X01SiUJi3px_hyphenhyphendi5kduKXt6KKgoPSJmyUkBot/w400-h292/UM-teams-with.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

one thing to give your group undertakings and tasks; it's something else to
ensure they complete the work and complete it. At that point passing it off for
endorsements is another bit of the pie that you need to handle. Finding a

increasingly productive. Cooperation devices and undertaking the executive's
programming can help with this (more on this later), yet you additionally need
to focus on utilizing apparatuses like this so you don't let down your kindred
colleagues. However, your individual part is significant in this, as well. The

bad am I? I’m so bad at gratitude that most days, I don’t notice the sunlight
on the leaves of the Berkeley oaks as I ride my bike down the street. I forget
to be thankful for the guy who hand-brews that delicious cup of coffee I drink
mid-way through every weekday morning. I don’t even know the dude’s name!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

on, eyes to see with, arms I can use to hug my son. I forget my son! Well, I
don’t actually <i>forget</i> about him, at least as a physical
presence; I generally remember to pick him up from school and feed him dinner.
But as I face the quotidian slings and arrows of parenthood, I forget all the
time how much he’s changed my life for the better.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is the mental tool we use to remind ourselves of the good stuff. It’s a lens that
helps us to see the things that don’t make it onto our lists of problems to be
solved. It’s a spotlight that we shine on the people who give us the good
things in life. It’s a bright red paintbrush we apply to otherwise-invisible
blessings, like clean streets or health or enough food to eat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

We can lose jobs,
we can be attacked on the street, we can get sick. I’ve experienced all of
those things. I remember those harrowing times at unexpected moments: My heart
beats faster, my throat constricts. My body wants to hit something or run away,
one or the other. But there’s nothing to hit, nowhere to run. The threats are
indeed real, but at that moment, they exist only in memory or
imagination. <i>I am the threat</i>; it is me who is wearing myself out
with worry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

If I do that enough,
suggests the psychological research, gratitude might just <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/raising_happiness/post/habits1"><span style="color: #943634; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">become a habit</span></a>.

my chances of psychologically surviving <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_gratitude_can_help_you_through_hard_times"><span style="color: #943634; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">hard times</span></a>,

I’m not ignoring the threats; I’m appreciating the resources and people that
might help me face those threats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

increased</span></a>. Similarly, when Minkyung Koo and colleagues asked people
to envision the sudden disappearance of their romantic partners from their
lives, they became more grateful to their partners. The same goes for imagining
that some positive event, like a job promotion, never happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a little while. Researchers Jordi Quoidbach and Elizabeth Dunn had 55 people
eat a piece of chocolate—and then the researchers told some of those people to
resist chocolate for a week and others to binge on chocolate if they wanted.

When we do, their subjective value
starts to drop; we start to take them for granted. That’s the point at which we

is, absence may just make the heart grow grateful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">What’s the opposite of
gratitude? Entitlement—the attitude that people owe you something just because
you’re so very special.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">“In all its
manifestations, a preoccupation with the self can cause us to forget our
benefits and our benefactors or to feel that we are owed things from others and
therefore have no reason to feel thankful,” <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/what_stops_gratitude">writes
Robert Emmons</a>, co-director of the <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/expandinggratitude">GGSC’s Gratitude
project</a>. “Counting blessings will be ineffective because grievances will
always outnumber gifts.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;">The antidote to
entitlement, argues Emmons, is to see that we did not create ourselves—we were
created, if not by evolution, then by God; or if not by God, then by our
parents. Likewise, we are never truly self-sufficient. Humans need other people
to grow our food and heal our injuries; we need love, and for that, we need
family, partners, friends, and pets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

trees. That’s great for me—and it may have good effects, like leading me to
think about my impact on the environment—but the trees just don’t care.
Likewise, the sun doesn’t know I exist; that big ball of flaming gas isn’t even
aware of its own existence, as far as we know. My gratitude doesn’t make it
burn any brighter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Saying thanks
to my son might make him happier and it can strengthen our emotional bond.
Thanking the guy who makes my coffee can strengthen social bonds—in part by
deepening our understanding of how we’re interconnected with other people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you, acknowledging the effort it took, and savoring how you benefitted from
it—engage biological systems for trust and affection, alongside circuits for
pleasure and reward. This provides a synergistic and enduring boost to the
positive experience. By saying ‘thank you’ to a person, your brain registers
that something good has happened and that you are more richly enmeshed in a
meaningful social community."</span></i></blockquote>

They
don’t say, “I love you because you’re just so wonderfully wonderful, you!”
Instead, the really skilled grateful person will say: “I love you for the
pancakes you make when you see I’m hungry and the way you massage my feet after
work even when you’re really tired and how you give me hugs when I’m sad so
that I’ll feel better!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

makes the expression of gratitude feel more authentic, for it reveals that the
thanker was genuinely paying attention and isn’t just going through the
motions. The richest thank you’s will acknowledge intentions (“the pancakes you
make when you see I’m hungry”) and costs (“you massage my feet after work even
when you’re really tired”), and they’ll describe the value of benefits received
(“you give me hugs when I’m sad so that I’ll feel better”).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

gratitude in couples, they found that spouses signal grateful feelings through
more caring and attentive behavior. They ask clarifying questions; they respond
to trouble with hugs and to good news with smiles. “These gestures,” Gordon <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/four_ways_to_make_the_most_of_gratitude_on_valentines_day%3Cbr%20/%3E">writes</a>,
“can have profound effects: Participants who were better listeners during those

Gratitude, so pay attention. And since I myself am still working on Basic, I’ll
turn once again to Dr. Emmons for guidance: “It’s easy to feel grateful for the
good things. No one ‘feels’ grateful that he or she has lost a job or a home or
good health or has taken a devastating hit on his or her retirement portfolio.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 23.55pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 23.55pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

critical cognitive process—a way of thinking about the world that can help us
turn disaster into a stepping stone. If we’re willing and able to look, he
argues, we can find a reason to feel grateful even to people who have harmed
us. We can thank that boyfriend for being brave enough to end a relationship
that wasn’t working; the homeless person for reminding us of our advantages and
vulnerability; the boss, for forcing us to face new challenges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

No amount of positive
thinking exercises will change this truth,” writes Emmons in his <i>Greater
Good</i> article “<a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_gratitude_can_help_you_through_hard_times">How
Gratitude Can Help You Through Hard Times</a>.” He continues:</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 23.55pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

up, count their blessings, and remember how much they still have to be grateful
for can certainly do much harm. Processing a life experience through a grateful
lens does not mean denying negativity. It is not a form of superficial
happiology. Instead, it means realizing the power you have to transform an
obstacle into an opportunity. It means reframing a loss into a potential gain,
recasting negativity into positive channels for gratitude.</span></i></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">People born in
November are so different from others. They are so unique that it’s hard to
find someone like them. What makes them different is that they do things their
own way. And their ideas are out of this world because they prefer to think
outside the box. They have a certain way of doing things, which leaves a
lasting impression on whoever they come across.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">People born in this
month are the most loyal people you will ever meet. When it concerns their
relationship with friends, family and partners, they will never let you down.
You can trust them with all your heart and not worry about them going behind
your back or cheating on you. So what are you waiting for?! Go and find
yourself a November-born! <b>There's more to come!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">People born in
November just can’t help themselves but look very attractive. Without even
trying they attract attention like bees to honey. People love to be in their
witty and laidback presence. This may sound good, but there are some people who
may get envious of November borns because wherever they go they somehow seem to
be the centre of everything. Let’s face it, they’re natural!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">November borns are
not the people for procrastination. They prefer to do things on time without
any delay because if they make a mistake or get stuck, they have time to
correct it. They know they are not perfect but they always try to stay fully
committed to anything they do or are involved in, like 200%! They are diligent
and fast!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">People born in
November are usually calm and can control their emotions unless they are
provoked to the maximum. They will try their best not to have an outburst. They
hardly ever get angry and annoyed but if they have ever snapped at you, then
you probably did something bad in your life to deserve that. (LOL, just
kidding!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">November borns are
different from others, especially in this case. They don’t care what others do,
they make their own and unique way of doing things. They prefer to take the
road no one else has taken before. This is when their thinking outside the box
comes in handy. Their friends and family admire them for this trait of doing
things differently. <b>Yup, everyone needs the next one!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">People born in November
often prefer to keep things on how they feel to themselves. They don’t like
people knowing about their deepest secrets, fearing they will be judged. But
that doesn't stop them from offering their shoulder to lean on for people in
need. They may be secretive and private, but they will always be there for you.</span></div>

couldn't hurt a fly! They don’t hurt anyone intentionally, and if they do, they
were not aware of doing so. Unfortunately, November borns are often being
misunderstood for their words or actions, so people who mostly does not take a
liking to them, blame them for the problems in their lives. Which is quite
unfair, don’t you think?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of many people born in November. They see everyone as equal who has the right
to do whatever they want. They don’t judge others for their point of views or
opinions and instead, they respect that. But they don’t stand around and accept
if they see people doing anything wrong. They will make it their responsibility
to correct others from making a mistake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

study Islam.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

By simply reminding yourself about the afterlife, you will remind yourself that
this world is temporary and that we are here to love and worship our Creator.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #632423; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><br /></span></b></div>

person. Take a moment to really ask yourself this question: Do you spend
countless hours getting to know Allah (SWT)? If you put in the effort to
understand Allah (SWT), whether it is through his prophets, books, or names,
that love will eventually grow.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #632423; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 128;"><br /></span></b></div>

(pbuh) loved many things. He loved his wife, his daughters, his companions, his
people. But what defined him as a Muslim was that his love for Allah was above
anything else. I pray that our love for Allah (SWT) continues to increase, and
I pray that we can all build our relationship with our Creator. Ameen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">By Sister </span></b><i><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Dina Mohamed Basiony.</span></i><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I was talking to a young sister over
the phone. We haven’t seen or met each other before. She was referred to me by
a common friend. We were discussing an issue that she needed help with.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">So, we texted at first and then
talked over the phone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We both opened up to each other so
much so that by the end of the call, we felt like we’re truly sisters and that
we’ve known each for ages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We then continued messaging each
other until the issue was completely resolved.<br />
Throughout this period, we felt a very deep bond with one another. We actually
made each other tear up at some points. We felt so much gratitude and a mixture
of other fulfilling and heart warming emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We literally had so much love and
compassion for one another through this experience.<br />
One day, she texted me and said that she really feels that she is in love with
God and that she reached a point where she loves and favours Him over anything
else and anyone else in this worldly life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">But then she asked “I always
wondered why we can’t see Allah? It would have made things easier. It would
have made us deeply love Him easier.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I told her, “You love me. Right? You
actually said that you love me. But did you see me?”<br />
We’ve actually never met. We loved and communicated deeply with one another
even though we’ve never seen each other and we don’t even know how the other
one looks like!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Connection and communication can
happen on very deep levels without having to physically see matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The sister and I only communicated
through words, yet we connected deeply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Allah also sent us His Words! He
sent His Direct Verbatim Words: The Qur’an.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">This is how we communicate with Him;
we receive His Words, read them, listen to them, and we speak to Him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Through this experience, we are able to connect with Allah on very profound
intellectual, emotional and personal levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Humans are intellectual beings. We are sophisticated creatures and we have the
ability to communicate through much deeper means than merely vision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We are not animals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Animals don’t communicate through
words or other deep long-distance communication. They are not intellectual
beings. To them, seeing is believing. They have to see. They’re all about the
physical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
But we are beyond the physical and it is a brilliance of our creation that we
have the ability to learn, grow and communicate beyond the physical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">This is exactly what Allah intended
for us. From the very beginning of the Qur’an when Allah revealed to us the
story of creating our father Adam (peace be upon him), we see that the purpose
of our creation was to learn and connect with the Creator on very deep levels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">“And He taught Adam the names – all
of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, “Inform Me of the names of
these, if you are truthful.” They said, “Exalted are You; we have no knowledge
except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the
Wise.”He said, “O Adam, inform them of their names.” And when he had informed
them of their names, He said,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">“Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the
heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed.”
(Qur’an 2: 31-33)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">So, we were created to learn beyond
what other creatures can learn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Among what we learn are the true
meanings of faith, sincerity, perseverance, love and commitment…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I want you to imagine something.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Imagine you’re married and you’re
sitting with your husband and he tells you, “you’re the most beautiful woman, I
will never look at anyone else but you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">You’re already there with him. So
it’s not a big test for him to be faithful and loving to you when you’re
sitting right there in front of him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">But if you’re away and for a long
period, and he proves that he continues to love and be faithful to you and never
look at anyone else, then this is true commitment and sincerity. Right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">To Allah Exalted is the Highest
Example and Attribute…If we’re seeing Allah, there is really no challenge at
all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><br />
Allah is the Creator of everything we ever loved and admired in this existence.
Think of anything you ever liked and multiply that by infinity!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">He is The Source and Fashioner of
Beauty, He is The Source of Power, The Most High, The Most Wise, The Most
Merciful, The Most Majestic, The Healer, The Source of Light….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Who would disbelieve after seeing
that? Who would see the Ultimate Source of Beauty, Power, Might, Majesty,
Wisdom, Love….and then go to look for bits and pieces of that in something else
or someone else!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: "century gothic" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">If you see Him, there is not test
and there is no challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 9.75pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: baseline;">

start my speech by addressing you as the “new” family of my daughter. But I
think it would be inappropriate because now that she is married, you are “the
family” for her. Believe me; I don’t have a problem with that. I, in fact, want
my daughter to have “you” as her priority now. It's time for us to take a
backseat in her life. We would happily accept it but would surely request one
thing- please keep her happy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

sure that you will keep her very happy. She will perhaps be happier than what
she used to be here. But like all fathers, I obsess over my daughter’s
happiness which is making me say this over and over again- please keep her
happy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">

never be a burden for me. She is in fact the reason why I breathe and smile. I
am getting her married because this is what the law of nature demands. I am
helpless in the face of our culture and therefore sending her to your home. She
was the happiness of my home and will now light up your home. I am giving my
world to you. Please make sure it remains beautiful. I am giving away my
princess to you. Please make sure she stays as a queen. I have raised her with
my sweat and blood and now she is wonderfully perfect. For all the care, love,
beauty and warmth my daughter will bring into your lives, I just want her
happiness in return- please keep her happy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that my daughter has said or done something wrong, feel free to scold her. But
handle her with love. She is very fragile. If at times she feels low, be with
her. She just needs a little bit of your attention. If at times she feels sick,
show her some care. It’s the medicine that works best for her. If at times she
fails to fulfil a responsibility, feel free to chastise her. But empathize with
her. She is still learning. Do understand her- please keep her happy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I don’t mind if I don’t get to see her for months. I don’t mind if I am not
able to talk to her on a daily basis. I would be more than happy if she doesn’t
remember me much. But, my only motive in life has been my daughter’s happiness
which is now in your hands. I beg you- please keep her happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had 3 children. He could give her everything he could but the woman never
appreciated. Though the man was not rich, he would share all that he had with
her. He could buy for her clothes and the only thing his wife could say was
that the husband was fulfilling his duty as a Man. The man would buy a dress
but in reply, the woman would mock at him, because the dress was of low
quality. The man would smile at his wife and tell her "one day, I will
become rich and I will buy for you all the expensive things you need".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

anything from her husband and once her request was not granted, all she could
do was to quarrel for days, sometimes fight. One evening, the man was coming
from work, he bought a Kilogram of meat, happily the poor man expecting to
surprise his wife, he reached home found the wife and showed her the package.
Then she shouted: "eh! And you call yourself a man? Which husband, apart
from you, do you think comes home with just one kilogram, no cooking oil, and
no other ingredients? You better leave it, you're a good-for-nothing
husband." Then she threw the meat in the bush and went back home. The
Husband felt low but he never let down his love for her.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

the heart becomes narrow and gloomy as it is distant from the source of its

This heart
is obsessed by sorrow for the past, and grief and distress for the present.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

contradicts it. This principle applies to mankind and all creation as well as
to belief and desires. So, if the hearts is obsessed by belief in falsehood,
there will be no place for truth.</span></div>

incapable of useful speech, unless falsehood is abandoned.</span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;">Hence, if the body is busy doing wrong actions, then acts of worship will

evil thoughts, for if you fail to do so, they will become ideas, if you do not,
they will become desires, so fight against them. If you do not, they will
become a form of determination and intention, if you do not resist, they will
become actions, and if you do not follow them up with their opposite, they will

tough in summer, and tougher for those who work outside air-conditioned
offices. But I am not going to talk about how to stay cool (body temperature
wise) in summer. That’s for the physical trainers and nutritionists to tackle.
What I am going to point out here are things which we do in Ramadan that
we do not realize are cool (awesome) for us as common Muslims. Realization of
completing one level gives a boost of confidence to excel in the next, in turn, <a href="http://blog.islamiconlineuniversity.com/the-pre-ramadan-preparation-the-taqwa-boost/" target="_blank">pumping more<i>taqwa</i> in our souls.</a> If we take
a minute and have a look at our mirrors, we should say to ourselves “Abdullah
(you), you are doing great; and yes, you are better than this”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

summer is the next level of fasting. The heat consumes all the comfort of our
movements throughout the day and gives us nothing but tiredness and intense
thirst. That’s why I said “Super Fasting”, rather than ‘fasting’. Inputs to our
bodies includes eyes, ears and feelings along with our mouths (for consuming
food), which are strictly monitored. We remind ourselves while browsing,
press the mute button when the music comes up and keep away from our spouses
during the day. In other words, different senses in our bodies are fasting as
well. Isn’t it cool that<a href="http://blog.islamiconlineuniversity.com/use-ramadan-as-a-time-to-shed-your-vices/" target="_blank"> we are able to strictly monitor our senses and keep calm</a> while

a long, hard day at work. On that evening, Mum placed a bowl of mince keema and
extremely <b>burned chappatis</b> in front
of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet, all my dad did was
reach for his chappatis, smiled at my Mum and asked me how my day was at
school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing
my Mum apologized to my dad for burning the chappatis. And I'll never forget
what he said: "Honey, I love burned chappatis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really
liked his chappatis burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your mum
had a long hard day at work today and she's really tired. And besides... A
burnt chappati never hurt anyone but harsh words do!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

full of imperfect things...and imperfect people. I'm not the best. What I've
learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and
choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important
keys to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship. So...please pass
me a chappati. And yes, the burnt one will do just fine! And please pass this
along to someone who has enriched your life...I just did! <b>Life is too short to
wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat you right and have compassion
for the ones who don't.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Islamic greeting instilled in its students from an early age, so whenever I
used to enter any classroom and utter the greetings of peace, the entire class

that I was at home, I made a mental note to use every talking/meeting

full greeting to everybody with the hope of receiving the same beautiful
greeting; a small decision with much to yield, In sha Allah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

full-breasted and have had the liquid of youth flow through their limbs; the
Sun runs along the beauty of her face if she shows it, light shines from
between her teeth if she smiles; if you meet her love, then say whatever you
want regarding the joining of two lights; he sees his face in the roundness of
her cheek as if he is looking into a polished mirror, and he sees the
brightness from behind her muscles and bones; if she were to be unleashed upon
the World, she would fill what is between the Heavens and the Earth with a
beautiful wind, and the mouths of the creation would glorifiy, praise, and
exclaim greatness, and everything between the East and the West would be
adorned for her, and every eye would be shut from everthing but her, and the
light of the Sun would be outshone just as the light of the Sun outshines the

menses, and pure of mucous, saliva, urine and other filthy things; her youth
never fades, her clothing is never worn out, no garment can be created that
matches her beauty, and no one who is with her can ever become bored; her
attention is restricted to her husband, so she desires none but him, just as
his attention is restricted to her so she is the sole object of his desire, and

visit of the all-Mighty, all-Wise, and the sight of His Face - free from any
resemblance or likeness to anything - as you see the Sun in the middle of the
day and the full Moon on a cloudless night, then listen on the day that the
caller will call: </span><em style="text-align: start;">'O
People of Paradise! Your Lord - Blessed and Exalted - requests you to visit
Him, so come to visit Him!' </em><span style="text-align: start;">So
they will say: ‘We hear and obey!’ </span></span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: #F1F1EE;">Until, when they finally reach the wide valley
where they will all meet - and none of them will turn down the request of the
caller - the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will order His Chair to be brought
there. Then, pulpits of light will emerge, as well as pulpits of pearls,
gemstone, gold, and silver. The lowest of them in rank will sit on sheets of
musk, and will not see what those who are on the chairs above them are given.
When they are comfortable where they are sitting and are secure in their
places, and the caller calls: </span><em style="text-align: start;">'O
People of Paradise! You have an appointment with Allaah in which He wishes to
reward you!'</em><span style="text-align: start;"> So they will say: ‘And
what is that reward? Has He not already made our faces bright, made our scales
heavy, entered us into Paradise, and pushed us away from the Fire?’ </span></span><br />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: #F1F1EE;"><span style="text-align: start;">And when they are
like that, all of a sudden a light shines that encompasses all of Paradise. So,
they raise their heads, and, behold: the Compeller - Exalted is He, and Holy
are His Names - has come to them from above them and majestified them and said: </span><em><b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">'O
People of Paradise! Peace be upon you!' </span></b></em><span style="text-align: start;">So, this greeting will not be responded to with anything
better than: ‘O Allaah! You are Peace, and from You is Peace! Blessed are You,
O possessor of Majesty and Honor!’ So the Lord - Blessed and Exalted - will
laugh to them and say: </span><em><b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">'O People of Paradise! Where are those who used to
obey Me without having ever seen Me? This is the Day of Increase!'<o:p></o:p></span></b></em></span></div>

pleased, so be pleased with us!’ So, He will say: </span><em><b><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">'O

inhabitants of My Paradise! So, ask of Me!' </span></b></em><span style="text-align: start;">So, they will all give the same response: ‘Show us your Face
so that we may look at it!’ So, the Lord - Mighty and Majestic - will remove
his covering and will majestify them and will cover them with His Light, which,
if Allaah - the Exalted - had not Willed not to burn them, would have burned
them. </span><span style="color: #943634; font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: #F1F1EE;"><span style="text-align: start;">And there will
not remain a single person in this gathering except that his Lord - the Exalted
- will speak to him and say: </span><em><b>'Do you remember the day that you did this and
that?' </b></em><span style="text-align: start;">and He will
remind him of some of his bad deeds in the Worldy life, so he will say: ‘O
Lord! Will you not forgive me?’ So, He will say: </span><em><b>'Of

forgiveness.'<o:p></o:p></b></em></span></span></div>

As humans,
we are made to feel <b>love </b>and
attachment towards others. This is part of our human nature. While we can feel
this way about another human being, five times a day we enter into a meeting
with our <b>Lord </b>and <b>Creator</b>. I wondered how often we ever
felt the whole world disappear while in His presence. Can we really claim that
our love for Allah is greater than our love for anyone and anything else?</div>
<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

hardships, but isn’t true. <b>Allah</b>
also tests with ease. He tests us with <b>na’im
</b>(blessings) and with the things we love, and it is often in these tests
that so many of us fail. We fail because when <b>Allah </b>gives us blessings, we unwittingly turn them into false idols
of the heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

money rather than <b>Allah, </b>We forget
that the source of our provision is not and never was the money, but rather it was the giver of
that money. In doing so, we are foolishly and ironically disobeying the
Provider in order to protect the provision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

seeking. Sometimes giving, sometimes taking, sometimes chasing, but often, just
waiting. They believe that love is a place that you get to: a destination at
the end of a long road. and they can’t wait for that road to end at their
destination. They are those hearts moved by the movement of hearts. Those
hopeless romantics, the sucker for a love story, or any sincere expression of
true devotion. For them, the search is almost a lifelong obsession of sorts.
But, this tragic ‘quest’ can have its costs- and its gifts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one, but it can bring its own lessons. Lessons about the nature of love, this
world, people, and one’s own heart, can pave this often painful path. Most of
all, this path can bring its own lessons about the <b>Love of Creator.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

that the human love they seek was not the destination. Some form of that human
love, can be a gift. It can be a means, but the moment you make it the End, you
will fail. And you will live your whole life with the wrong focus. You will
become willing to sacrifice the Goal for the sake of the means. You will give
your life to reaching a ‘<b>destination’ </b>of
worldly perfection that does not exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there; but keeps running. And so too will you keep running, and the willing to
lose sleep, cry, bleed, and sacrifice precious parts of yourself- at times,
even your own dignity. You’ll never reach what you’re looking for in this life,
because what you seek isn’t a worldly destination. The Type of perfection you
seek cannot be found in the material world. It can only be found in <b>God (Allah).<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

illusion in the desert of life. So, if that is what you seek, you’ll keep
chasing. But no matter how close you get to a mirage, you never touch it. You
don’t own an image. You can’t hold a creation of your own mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

reaching this ‘<b>place’. </b>You do this
because in the fairy tale, that’s where
the story ends. It ends at the finding, the joining, and the wedding. It is
found at the oneness of two souls. And everyone around you will make you think
that your path ends there: at the place where you meet your soul mate, your
other half- at the point in the path where you get married. Then and only then,
they tell you, you will ever finally be complete. This, of course, is a lie because
completion cannot be found in anything other than <b>God (Allah)</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the wedding, and then that’s when <b>Jannah
(Paradise) </b>begins. That’s when you’ll be saved and completed and everything
that was once broken will be fixed. The only problem is, that’s not where the
story ends. That’s where it begins. That’s where the building starts: the
building of a life, the building of your character, the building of sabr,
patience, perseverance, and sacrifice. The building of selfishness. The
building of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ultimate focus in life, your struggle has just begun. Now your spouse will
become your greatest test. Until you remove that person from the place in your heart
that only God should be, it will keep hurting. Ironically, your spouse will
become the tool for this painful extraction process, until you learn that there
are places in the human heart made only by- and for- God (Allah).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

path- after a long road of loss, gain, failure, success, and so many mistakes-
is that there are at least two types of love. There will be some people you
love because of what you get from them; what they give you, the way they make
you feel. This is perhaps the majority of love- which is also what makes much
of love son unstable. A person’s capacity to give is inconstant and changing.
Your spouse to what you are given is also inconstant and changing. So if you’re
chasing a feeling, you’ll always be chasing. No feeling is ever constant. If
love is dependent on this, it too becomes inconstant and changing. And just
like everything in this world, the more you chase it, the more it will run away
from you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="color: #943634; font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;">But, once in a while, people enter your life that
you love- not for what they give you- but for what they are. The beauty you see
in them is a reflection of the Creator, so you love them, Now suddenly it </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;">isn't</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;"> about what you’re getting, but rather what you can give. This is unselfish
love. This second type of love is the rarest. And if it is based in, and not
competing with, the love of God, it will also bring about the most joy. To love
in any other way is to need, to be
dependent, to have expectations- all the ingredients for misery and disappointment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListBulletCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

know that purity of anything is found at the Source. If it is love that you
seek, seek it through God. Every other stream, not based in His love, poisons
the one who drinks from it. And the drinker will continue to drink, until the
poison all but kills him. He will continue to die more and more inside, until
he stops and finds the pure Source of water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #943634; font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;">Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only
a reflection of God’s beauty, you will learn to love in the right way: for His
sake. Everything and everyone you love will be for, through and because of Him.
The foundation of such love is God. So what you hold onto will no longer be
just a unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion. And what you chase will no longer
be just a </span><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;">temporary</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;"> high. What you hold, what you chase, what you love, will be
God: the </span></span><b style="color: #943634; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;">only </b><span style="color: #943634; font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 200%;">thing stable and
constant. Thereafter, everything else will be through Him. Everything you give
or take or love or don’t love, will be by Him. Not by your nafs. It will be for
Him. Not for your nafs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

what He does not love. And when you do love, you will give to the creation- not
for what you can get in return from them. You will love and you will give, but
you will be sufficed from Him, for Him, and because of Him. That is the liberation
of the self from servitude to any created thing. And that is freedom. That is
happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
