The Reality of Love

The story below is about two different women who treated animals in two different ways. The work of literature below tells the story of two different mothers who treat their children differently. It may hit you like a thunderbolt; so please give it some thought. See the reality of the situation.


A prostitute and a dog

One day, Prophet Muhammed ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) told his companions (Sahabah) the story of two women: "One woman, a prostitute, was guided by Allah's truth and ultimately went to paradise because she gave water to a dog dying of thirst in the desert. While a dog was going round a well and was about to die of thirst, the prostitute saw it and took off her shoe and watered it. So Allah ((Subhana wa taaala)) forgave her because of that good deed."

As for the other woman, Prophet Muhammed ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) said, "Another woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger." Prophet Muhammed ( sal-lal-lahu alai hi wa sallam) further said, "You neither fed it nor watered when you locked it up, nor did you set it free to eat the insects of the earth."

Love from a kind of mother
Out comes the weekend,
An escape from the sophisticated reality,
With the one who gave me birth;
Brushing off any discrimination,
From those who pass us by,
By bonding with sheer bliss.
Beautiful moments were shared, but alas!
Stumbled we were upon a twist of fate.

A sore for the sight to see,
There laid a child wandering gleefully,
Only till the worried mother found her,
Did society's abyssal darkness came forth;
Unable to bear witness the pain,
The continuos slapping on the head
Was too much for any child to yield
As my sore sight starts to flow.

Then came along a hand,
So comforting and warm,
Rubbing at the top of my head;
The warmth passed along,
Was enough to stop the tears from flowing.
As she pulled me to her side,
My arms reached out grasping her tight,
Realising the reality of my mother's love.

Of Dreams and Death: A Journey of Life

See you at the castle you built in the sky, The place that you go when you’re alone, Away from the heresies of society’s demise, Ensuring it will never be affected by the crises of reality, And furnish it up with a beauty only a lover of life would know. See you at the bottom of the bottle, When you lose yourself to emptiness and neglect, Go ahead and cry your heart out, puke out your guts, Do what you need to deal with the pain of loneliness, Sanity demands that you keep your dreams alive. See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
