Few poems by Mahmoud Darwish💕

To mark my 300th post, I'm sharing a collection of poems by Mahmoud Darwish. His powerful words offer deep insights into love and separation. Enjoy! I love you despite the nose of my tribe, my city and the chains of customs. But I'm afraid if I sell everyone, you will sell me and I'll return with disappointments. 'I felt like my homeland was occupied again.' Out of my ignorance I called you a homeland, and I forgot that homelands are taken away. Drink your coffee, embrace the silence, do not take people seriously, do not take life upon yourself, do not exaggerate your emotions, and do not please anyone against your will. Don't befriend me for a day, and leave me a month. Don't get close to me if you're going to leave. Don't say what you don't do. Be close or get away. A University degree, four books and hundreds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You wrote me 'good morning' and I read it as 'I love you'. Poetry an...

Shab e Baraat Mubarak...🤲


SHAB E BARA'AT MUBARAK
TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...🥀

LAYLAT AL-BARA'AH ADAB

READ SURAH YASEEN
Prophet Muhammad said the heart of Holy Qur’an is Surah Yaseen, and Yaseen is the name of Prophet, which means the heart of Qu'ran is Prophet! Also, the heart of Yaseen is al-Fatihah, so when you recite Surah Yaseen on Laylat al-Bara'ah, you will be blessed. Allah manifests His Beauty, Light and Knowledge on everyone who observes this night.
.
After Maghrib or Isha prayer, we read Surah Yasin three times, and after each time read a special dua with the following intentions:
1st reading is for long life.
2nd reading is for protection from calamities.
3rd reading is for not needing/relying on anyone but Allah.

SALAT AL-KHAYR
Afterwards, at home or in congregation, perform Salat al-Khayr, 100 rakats prayed in sets of two rakats. In each rakat, recite one Surat al-Fatiha and ten Surat al-Ikhlas (total 1000 Surat al-Ikhlas). Some people keep track of rakats on a misbaha (tasbih, rosary beads).
.
FASTING THE DAY OF BARA'AH
Due to its tremendous baraka, Prophet Muhammad highly recommended fasting 15th Shabaan (mustahabb) and a vast majority of Predecessors of the Ummah did. ❤️

NOTE Some are observing Laylat al-Bara'ah on Tuesday night and fasting Wednesday, others will complete the adab on Wednesday night and fast Thursday. ❤️❤️❤️
