Someone's Watching Over Me


In the Name of the most Holy


Hey..how are you doing?...
"Don't judge by who says it but judge by what is said.", I beleive in this saying, as I always listen to the music first and decide whether
I like it or not. The lyrics below are from one of my favorite songs.



I found myself today
Oh, I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
A voice of reason, I forgot I had
All I know, is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it’s written in the sky tonight

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems, life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark, I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over me

I’ve seen that ray of light
And it’s shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won’t be afraid
To follow everywhere it’s taking me
All I know is
Yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment, to my dreams

It doesn’t matter what people say
And it doesn’t matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself
And you’ll find
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems, life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark, I’ll still believe


That I won’t give up
No I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems, life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark, I’ll still believe
Someone’s watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
(Yeah yeah, oh oh)
Someone's watching over me

Dawud Wharnsby Ali

In the name of the Almighty



Hello...
Just recently I was searching youtube.com for some English-Religious songs that a name took my attention. Dawud Wharnsby-Ali. I listened to some of his songs and became a fan of his music. ;)

He is a Canadian-Scottish Muslim, who sings in many different styles.




A bit of his Biography from www.soundvision.com :


"By the age of 10, Wharnsby was preoccupied with Christian history, ancient Chinese, Greek and Egyptian mythology. He found contentment in his imaginative games and favorite school subjects of religion and art.

"Independently minded and somewhat introverted, Wharnsby spent extended nights writing, listening to music, and absorbing books of Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist literature. Gradually his spiritual identity developed and matured alongside his craft of composing poetry and song.

"Wharnsby devoted himself to a diverse array of activities, working as a puppeteer and children's educator, a traveling troubadour and a personal health care assistant for the physically disabled. His zeal for travel and exploration often found him spontaneously taking extended hikes, walking for days, weeks and sometimes months through parts of Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Fascinated with birth, death, faith, the occult and his Celtic roots, Wharnsby's songs and writings became a reflection of his continued search for some place to settle and find purpose.

"Inspired by his devotion to the teachings of The Holy Qur'an and merging the Celtic/folk styles of his upbringing with embellishments of the Middle and Far East, his 1996 CD "A Whisper Of Peace" was a groundbreaking effort in the area of Islamic nasheed (spiritual songs) sung in the English language. "Whisper" was followed by a string of internationally recognized recordings including, "Road To Madinah" (1999), "Sunshine, Dust and The Messenger" (2001), "The Prophet's Hands" (2002) and most recently, his powerful 3 CD "Simplicitea Trilogy" (2005) ("A Different Drum", "The Truth That Lies Inside" and "Hi Neighbour, Salam Neighbour!")

"Wharnsby's unique lyrical style, warm voice and knack for penning catchy melodies yield a rich reception from his listeners world-wide, who in many cases do not even speak English as their first language."

Because of You

In the Name of God


Heyyy...
I want to love every person in this World...
I want to love the World endlessly and proudly...
I want to love without expecting any in return...
I want to love with my heart...purely...
I want to love the world....

It may sound a little odd but I think if someone wants to love God, the first step is to love the World with all it's people!....

Love is happiness,
Love is hope,
Love is kindness,
Love is smiling,
Love is helping.

To love means to forgive,
To love means to protect,
To love means to care endlessly,
To love means to give hope,
To love means to like more than yourself,
To love means to give everything,
To love means to send happiness,
To love means to put others first,
To love means to respect,
To love means to stay kind even if you don't want to,
To love means to work hard even if you don't like it,
To love means to be proud of everybody for who they are,
To love means to answer in the best way even if you are asked in the worst,
To love means to express your feelings in the most sincere way,
To love means ...
So much that can not all be expressed in words...

Everything You Possess is a Favor From God

"In the Name of the Best"




In the world in which we live, Allah bestows many favours on man. All the needs of each living being are benevolently met; no detail is forgotten.

Let's think about ourselves as examples. From the moment we wake in the morning, we need many things and encounter many situations. In brief, we survive due to the many favours bestowed upon us.


We can breathe as soon as we wake up. We never experience difficulty in doing this, thanks to our respiratory systems functioning perfectly.

We can see as soon as we open our eyes. The sharp and distant images, all three-dimensional and fully coloured, are perceived by our eyes, and indeed owe their existence to the unique design of eyes.


We taste delicious flavours. The relative proportions of the vitamin, mineral, carbohydrate or protein content of the food we eat, or how the excess of these nutrients are stored or utilised in the body never concern us. Moreover, we are mostly never aware that such complicated operations take place in our body.


When we hold some material in our hands, we immediately know if it is soft or hard. What is more, we need no mental effort to do this. Numerous similar minute operations take place in our body. The organs, responsible for these operations, have complicated mechanisms. The human body functions almost like a factory of enormous complexity and ingenuity. This body is one of the major favours given to man since man leads his existence on earth with it.


At this point, a question remains to be answered: how are the raw materials necessary to operate this factory supplied? To put it another way, how do water, air, and all the other nutrients essential for life come into existence?


Let's think about fruits and vegetables. Melons, watermelons, cherries, oranges, tomatoes, peppers, pineapples, mulberries, grapes, eggplants… all grow in soil from seeds, and the seed has a structure sometimes as hard as wood. However, while considering these, we should avoid habitual ways of thinking and employ different methods. Visualise the delicious tastes and odours of strawberries or the ever-changing odour of melon.


Think about the time and energy spent in laboratories to produce similar odours and about the repeated trials that resulted in failure. Indeed, results obtained by scientists in laboratories prove to be no better than the unsuccessful imitations of their natural counterparts. The varieties of taste, odour and colour in nature bear indeed matchless attributes.

That all vegetables and fruits have distinct tastes and odours and carry individual colours is the result of the design particular to them. They are all favours Allah bestows upon man.


Similarly, animals, too, are created specially for human beings. Apart from serving as food, man finds their physical appearances appealing. Fish, corals, star-fishes decorating the depths of oceans with all their beautiful colours, all kinds of birds adding charm to their habitat or cats, dogs, dolphins and penguins… they are all favours from Allah. Allah stresses this fact in many verses:


And He has made everything in the heavens and everything on the earth subservient to you. It is all from Him. There are certainly signs in that for people who reflect. (Surat al-Jathiyah: 13)


If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Allah is Ever -Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl: 18)


He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried to number Allah's blessings, you could never count them. Man is indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim: 34)


The living beings mentioned above are only a tiny part of the favours and beauties Allah bestows. Wherever we turn, we come across creations reflecting the attributes of Allah. Allah is ar-Razzaq (the Ceaseless Provider), al-Latif (the Subtle One, He who creates things most subtly), al-Karim (the Generous One), al-Barr (the source of all goodness).


Now, take a look around you and think. And never plead ignorance of the fact that everything you possess is a favour to you from your Creator:

Any blessing you have is from Allah. Then when harm touches you, it is to Him you cry for help. (Surat an-Nahl: 53)
