Palestinians are not "animals."

They are not "children of darkness."

Little kids are rescuing cats and trying to comfort them when they themselves are terrified.

A doctor broke down when his father and brother came into the trauma unit.

And several of his colleagues hugged and gathered to comfort him.

Journalists are playing with babies.

Doctors are refusing to evacuate hospitals because their patients can't and refuse to leave them.

There's a little boy who gives tea to the journalists and thanks them for spreading their stories.

He's displaced at the hospital, his home is gone.

A kid was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he said kids in Gaza don't grow up.

Kids are writing their names on their arms so they can be identified.

Momin Kireka is a Palestinian journalist who was disabled by an Israeli attack in 2008.

And despite the difficulty in moving around, he vows to continue to show the world the truth.

Awni, a young Palestinian boy has a gaming YouTube channel he loved so much.

He was killed in the bombing.

Mohammed Sami was an artist who's dream was to open an art gallery.

He was playing with the kids to raise their spirits. And the next day he was killed.

They are victims.

They are going through unimaginable horrors and still find it in their hearts to be kind.

They have hopes and dreams just like you and I.

They are people.

And they deserve to be remembered as such.

There's a quote in Alif that goes like

" Zindagi kabhi humey badshah nahi hone deti ke sab kuch ata karde , zindagi humey hamesha faqeer hi rakhti hai , kisi na kisi shay se mehroom ya phir kisi na kisi shay ke liye tarsta hua "

Ek tasver mei lagta hai ke hum bhi khush thy

Ek awaaz se lagta hai ke sab acha hai

Meri dunya mei koi cheez thikane pe nahi

Bas, tujhe dekh ke lagta hai ke sab acha hai

Meri aukat kaha tum se hum kalam hona,

Tere lehje se ameeri ki mehak ati hai🍁

Wo Jo Mujhe mil jaaye to main Yun samjhun.

Jaise Jannat ka elaan Ho kisi gunehgar Ke liye🍁

[ifirdousparray]

Zindagi ki haqiqat ka bas itna fasana hai,

Dard me akele hain Khusiyon main zamana hai🍁

When the mountain seem too big to climb,

That's when the view will be worth it.

What’s something you have learned this year?

I’ll go first,

I learned that Allah will truly exceed your expectations when it’s His time to give. It’s not a myth or something that happens only for the prophets. It was something I had always known but this year, I experienced it and subhanallah every ounce of patience is worth the reward. Every pain for it, is worth it. Allahu Akbar.

Even when you feel you don’t deserve it, Allah still gives beyond what you thought you would receive, and his rahmah (mercy) will make you cry out of shukr (thankfulness) and love for Him.

So stay patient with a beautiful patience and expect only the best from your merciful Rabb, Al-Wadud 🤍 & He will give the best for you.

May Allah عز وجل exceed our expectations and grant us the best of blessings in the akhirah, ameen.

Okay, now your turn!

Being with someone who wants to learn about your past history, not to punish or hurt you, but to learn how you need to be loved

Hum dekh rahay hain tumhara bar bar aasmaan ki taraf mun karna.

When Irfan khan said "Zindagi choti nhi hoti, hum jeena hi der se shuru krte hain. Jab tak raaste samajh mai aate hain, tab tak lautne ka waqt hojata hai." Every inch of my body felt that.

When NFAK said ;

"میرے محبوب تیری پردہ نشینی کی قسم، میں نے آشکوں کی قطاروں میں تمہیں دیکھا ہے"

I can't get over it.

The most fascinating poetry it is. Like Allah ko hum dekh nahi skty mgr jaisy hi hum mushkil mai ho, taqleef mai ho hamy sirf wohi nazar ata hai.. i run out of words here.

To desire union with her, not in my destiny

I just cry as to why I laid my eyes on her
