الإسلام

من كلام الامام نور الدين:
ليس لنا مذهب إلا الإسلام, فمن ثم تجدنا نقبل الحق ممن جاء به, وإن كان بغيضاً, ونرد الباطل على من جاء به, وإن كان حبيباً, ونعرف الرجال بالحق, فالكبير عندنا من وافقه, والصغير من خالفه, ولم يشرع لنا ابن إباض مذهباً, وإنما نسبنا إليه لضرورة التمييز حين ذهب كل فريق إلى طريق, وأما الدين فهو عندنا لم يتغير والحمد لله.

Because of different mental attitude

My friend Zuwaina Al-Harthy has shared this with her fellow relatives and friends on Facebook, and I'm blessed to be one of them.

It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

example .. two people may be in the same place, doing the same thing, both may have about an equal amount of money and prestige and yet one may be miserable and other happy.

why? Because of different mental attitude.

Her life is not blank

A blind woman, who lost her sight at a young age proved to me today that her disability didn't stop her from living her life and dreams.

She worked hard, went to best school, did her PHD and pursued her dreams, she had a vision, but not like our vision, to be help others like her to become something in this society.

Been blind didn't stop her from socializing, she also has a Facebook account, she posted her photos, as well as her family member and friends, she's proving to us that she has a life worth living for, it's not blank as the canvas, it's colorful with all kind of shades, and has a meaning.

She still dreaming of gaining her sight, but maybe been blind is a blessing and motivation to become a leader, for us to follow our dreams and take risks, as long it doesn't harm us nor our loved ones.

Yes, her life is not a blank canvas, and so am I.

Royalty weddings

People in UK waiting to wetness the biggest event of the year, The Royal Wedding of HRH Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Thanks to the globalization and the revolution of technology, i.e. the internet, this event will be live and people who subscribed to facebook and other social networks plus online TV will able to view the real time. People will also post in blogs and tweets simultaneously, sharing comments, about the event, dress, makeup, etc, like fashion police.

I noticed in my country or in Arab world, the Royal wedding is not such a big deal to publish it on news. It's more of a private, and normal for a member of royal family get married to none royal family member.

I realized, most of Western countries don't have social commitments, etc, so such events keeps them occupied.

A quick note, I realized the Arabian Gulf countries' royal families inter-marry, example Bahrain and Dubai; except Omani royal family don't inter marry with other country royal families.

TRA Oman

"My Number..My Identity - Think before you give it away." TRA

I just received the above quote from TRA Oman Telecommunications Regulatory (TRA) via SMS. What's going on?

No trust

Since the protests been swamping in my own country, for the past month, it showed the true color of allot of people. It started making uncomfortable with some who I thought I can trust, as they are snooping around for negative vibes and then spreading their poisons to motivate people to protest.

Some of my close friends fell in that trap from trying to help into a category of motivating protesters and they aren't at all.

I don't trust no one, specially those who showed me their two sides. I started hating the word 'protest' as it killed allot of people's genuine feelings and replaced it with anger and greed. People forgot about their Religion's etiquette of dealing with emotions and situation, and they behave like they are animals in a jungle. They all don't believe in Allah (God), as their true believe in him is weak.
