hamdulillah you felt better after seeing that dawn.

back when I used to listen to music I used to love 'Morning has broken' by cat Steven/yusuf islam..
there is something amazing about the birth of a new day... dark gravid clouds pierced by light but not quite espoused ... such beauty- behold our sight and banish all grief and even that appreciation is an act of worship ...
if I can live secluded surrounded only by nature and not have to deal with all the other crap or all the losses I'd be so content but then I guess it would be paradise not earth ...

 

[CosmicPathos]

“Seek refuge in the land of your conscience
For it is marked by no imminent drought,
It capsizes the humming boats of pretense
And builds on what is honestly sought;
The dead linger in their grave pots
They breathe from where the blindness starts,
An eye for some glitter, an ear for some noise
When the hearts are sold against a vague choice;
I ask, O Allah, to guard me
Against the darkness when eyes can't see...”

- When eyes cannot see, by Ashfaq Saraf

I love watching Sunrises and Sunsets, as my avatar can testify. It is beauty at its peak, and thanks to Allah for letting us see it.

guess he was always inclined to believe even before his conversion to Islam:


Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the word Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning Born of the one light, Eden saw play Praise with elation, praise every morning God's recreation of the new day

Quite fitting with Skye's quote, I went for a walk this morning to greet the rising sun. Sunrise was at 5.12.
After waiting in the mellow dawn light for a while, it was a surprisingly joyful moment when the sun actually rose over the horizon.
The most ordinary thing in the world became the most amazing moment!

I probably didn't use the best setting for the dawn light. If I do a dawn walk again, I will make sure I have worked out the camera settings beforehand!

Today's sunset

Having watched the sunrise a few days ago, I went to see the sunset today.

While I was sitting there quietly, a little mouse was scuttling through the high grass, just by my feet. I never got to see it fully - only brief glimpses and the movement of the grass ... and little squeaking noises.

This Is A picnic spot in Kashmir called Kokernag. I clicked it last year...

Does It not look like the yellow pansy is trying to peep into the camera from behind the purple one?

Forgive me for the bad quality of photos as I have clicked them from my phone.

Fee amanillah!

Sitting down to break fast with extended family at a restaurant

This is the day that followed what I believed to have been laylat Al Qadr so I photographed the sun the next day.. what do you think? this was the 29th

Al Husain right after maghrib

khan el khalili bazaar

Mango Ice cream at 'Al Malki open restaurant at Husain.. shop owners fought over us because one shop thought the other was stealing his customers, this was in the last ten of Ramadan .. It was disappointing along with other things I'll refrain from commenting on.

Nubian farm life I guess.. in really freaky statues

Al Azhar university the oldest in the world to the left of that car

Men praying taraweeh on the plane

in flight tracker on my seat

The plane we boarded, I especially liked the bug on the window

upon arrival to Egypt

The Citadel and surrounding fortress

my niece enjoying some massive choco milk shake

^ SubhanAllah!

I want to visit Egypt TOO (and Turkey.....and Malaysia.....and Palestine......and the North Pole......and parts of Brazil......and......many other places) insha Allah!
: D

(Btw. our 25 and 29th nights were extremely calm.....and 27th was extremely windy.
Allah knows best in these matters.
May He accept all our ibaadat made in Ramadaan and at all other times. Ameen.)

Thanks for sharing. : )
