Ferme les yeux. Imagine.   Imagine un monde gangrené par la haine, la violence et l'avidité. Imagine un monde où les gens préfèrent chasser les sans-abris des lieux qu'ils squattent au lieu de les aider. Un monde où l'on aime son prochain du moment qu'il ne nous demande pas de l'aider.  Imagine un monde comme dans les films, comme dans Hunger Games ou V pour Vendetta, où toutes les décisions viennent des mêmes personnes, du même endroit. Un monde où la liberté d'expression n'est qu'une idée, une illusion que l'on sert aux gens tant qu'ils n'offensent pas ceux qui contrôlent les banques, les gouvernements, les industries. Un monde où tu peux manifester tant que tu ne remets pas en cause le bourrage de crâne des “grands”, où l'on stigmatise et critique ceux qui font partie de ce qui est appelée une “sous-culture d'analphabètes” sans chercher à comprendre ou même entendre leur message. Imagine un monde où la Police ne te défend pas m...

      According to Wikipedia, a   doodle  is a  drawing  made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be  abstract  shapes. ( This is an example of one of my doodles. March 2015) Q&A: X : Where do you get your inspiration to draw? You're incredible! What I mean by inspiration, I suppose, is how do you come up with the designs for these? Is there some creative process that you go through? I don’t really know! I always start off the basic shape in my head and work from there really but I usually make it up as I go along. Usually if I’m unsure if it’s going to look okay I just do it! Y : How do you draw your Mandalas? You're just perfect! Thank you! To grid your mandalas up before drawing,  I draw all the different circles using a compass in pencil then split it up into sections using a protractor and go ove...

In order to purify your soul, you need to cleanse your heart. The heart that is drowning in the sea of sorrow, fear, hatred, jealousy and every negative emotion.                                            It needs to be purified, needs to be free from all sorts of negative emotions. Negative emotions and negative thoughts consume you and your mind. Thus your heart, busy in the world of negativity doesn’t get a chance to cleanse itself. Let go of negative emotions. Cleanse your heart in order to cleanse your soul. Be grateful of what God, the Most Merciful, has given to you.  See through the lens of positivism.  Free your soul. By: @her_sufisoul

What is Ramadan? This post is for everyone that has no idea what Ramadan is. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits – essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. A reminder : "Here’s your yearly reminder that we are all ~Ramadan Muslims~ Before you start judging someone for suddenly becoming “more religious” this Ramadan, ask yourself when the last time you went to the mosque to pray for a couple hours right after you ate a giant dinner. Or when the last time it was that you avidly read your Qur’an. Or the last time you made so much dua. Or sacrificed sleep to pray more." The point of Ramadan is to recharge ...
