Look Into My Eyes

Salam.

Here is a song I like from Outlandish. I first listened to this song in 2007 although it was released in 2005.
This song is made based on a poem by a Palestinian, describing Palestinians' lives.

Let's listen and ponder.

Here is the lyrics

Look Into My Eyes by Outlandish

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

You don't see a damn thing

'cause you can't relate to me

You're blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to you

I'm the persecuted one

You're the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thanking God He let me rise

You worry about your education

And the bills you have to pay

I worry about my vulnerable life

And if I'll survive another day

Your biggest fear is getting a ticket

As you cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that has just left

Will turn around and come back

Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some time

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It's the checkpoint on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land

And the torture of my mother

The imprisonment of my innocent father

The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks

The gases and the guns

The bombs that fall outside my door

All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of my enemies

I'm terrorized in my own land

But am I the terrorist?

Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay

Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day

So if I won't be here tomorrow

It's written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day

The end of our wait

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters.

Let us keep praying for our muslim brothers and sisters around the world. Every day, especially during this holy month.

May Allah bless us...

Wassalam.

It's Ramadhan Again!

Bismillah.

Alhamdulillah, Allah has given us the chance to enjoy Ramadhan again. Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.”

[Sahih Bukhari]

Let us fill this Ramadhan with lots and lots of ibadah, at least by remembering Him all the time. May our deeds will be accepted by Him, and may Allah bless us!

Here's a prayer that we can recite throughout this holy month;

بارك اللهم لنا في شهر رمضان

-Baarikillahumma lanaa fii syahri Ramadhan-

"O Allah, bless us in the month of Ramadhan"

Happy Ramadhan!
Wassalam :)

Of expectation towards people

Bismillah.


Sometimes we forgot that people are humans and they can't be perfect. So, don't expect them to perfectly suit our expectation.

Dear everyone in this planet including me,
please accept people as they are.

Because we want others to accept us as we are too.

kalau tak, forever alone lah macam Danbo The Boxman ni. Takde orang nak kawan. Orang amik gambar candid je.

but, don't use this 'everybody makes mistakes' phrase as an excuse for ourselves to not be better.

Rasulullah (pbuh) said: "Every son of Adam sins, and the best of those who sin are those who repent."

- Narrated by Al-Tirmizi

Wassalam :)
