يا تاكسي حود عشان أبكي على الأطلال
شارعين و في التالت يبقى اكسر يمين في شمال
في عيادة على الناصية يافطتها نيون أزرق
و كشك مقفول قصادو مكوجي و بقال
مفضلش في الحي إلا عرستين شبهة
وقط مخبر كأنو بيبص من جرنال
مفضلش من بيت حبيبتي إلا حبل غسيل
ثابت على البلكونة في موقعه مازال
دي حكمة الدنيا في الشعر الرومانسي يا بيه
حبل الغسيل سابقا كان اسمو حبل وصال
قالولي اكتب عن الشعر اللي بالك فيه
قلتلهم العشق علة لا يصيب البال
عمرك سمعت بني آدم في بالو يحب
لازم يطب و حبايبو يقولو عنو شوال
العشق علة تصيب المرء في ودانو
يفضل مبلم ولا يسمع كلام يتقال
تقولو دي حمارة يا ابني يقول دي بغل أبيض
وفرق واضح كبير بين حمير و بغال
ان شالله خلة سنان ملفوفة في كلينكس
ان شالله دبابة لو مشيت يقوم زلزال
شوف الأحبة على الكورنيش و في التحرير
شاشة خيال ظل فيها أغرب الأشكال
أسمر وشعرو لاكيه أصفر
ومحبوبتو حجاب عليه بنطلون ضيق مفيش إشكال
وآنسة أنفها من منجزات العهد
ستين تلم يقولولها رايحة فين يا غزال
يمكن بيتريقوا لكنها واثقة
ان كان خطيبها انتحر من حسنها القتال
خطيبها معذور ما هو يا هي يا الحيطة
و الحيطة في طوابير برضو عليها طوال
إن كانت أجمل شوية من الشاويش برعي
تلقى أبوها طليعي و مشيها بطال
لكنها برضو بتلاقي اللي يعشقها
وكل فولة كما تعلم لها كيال
العشق شغال في مصر برغم بلاويها
يمكن مفيش إلا هو في البلد شغال
يا صاحبي حب ولو كان الحبيب تعبان
هتفصلو وانت لاترزي ولا مثال
ما مصر كانت بهية أصبحت بتعة
بتنتع النتعة توقع في الصحاري جبال
ركبها واجعاها من وقفتها في التواريخ
تنوي الصلاة في رجب تركع على شوال
مفضلش من مصر إلا لمعة في عينيها
ودقة على الدقن مش باينة نجوم و هلال
كبرت و أعصابها باظت قاعدة على الناصية
تحدف على الخق طوب عمال على بطال
لكن أهو تعمل ايه يعني هتكرهها
خدها كدة وربنا يعينك على الأهوال
العشق زي الهوى مليان عوادم بس
لو يوم قفشت عليه راح تتخنق في الحال
يا مصر قومي هنتمشى على الكورنيش
حبي انهاردة و بكرة يحلها الحلال

Destination Firdous Insha Allah - Ramadan Message
In Ramadan Paradise opens its doors, Hell closes its and Satans are chained
Arfajah said "We were with `Utbah ibn Farqad while he was discussing Ramadan. A companion of the Prophet entered upon the scene. When `Utbah saw him, he became shy and stopped talking. The man [the companion] spoke about Ramadan, saying "I heard the Messenger of Allah say during Ramadan: "The gates of Hell are closed, the gates of Paradise are opened, and the devils are in chains. An angel calls out : 'O you who intend to do good deeds, have glad tidings. O you who intend to do evil, refrain, until Ramadan is completed. [Ahmad and an-Nasa'i]
Fasting in Ramadan; a shield from Hell
The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said : "When Allah created Paradise and Hell-fire, He sent Jibreel [Gabriel] to Paradise, saying: Look at it and at what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (S) said: So he came to it and looked at it and at what Allah had prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (S) said: So he returned to Him and said: By your glory, no one hears of it without entering it. So He ordered that it be encompassed by forms of hardship, and He said: Return to it and look at what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (S) said: So he returned to it and found that it was encompassed by forms of hardship. Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, I fear that no one will enter it. He said: Go to Hell-fire and look at it and what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants, and he found that it was in layers, one above the other. Then he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, no one who hears of it will enter it. So He ordered that it be encompassed by lusts [or desires]. Then He said: Return to it. And he returned to it and said: By Your glory, I am frightened that no one will escape from entering it. [at-Tirmithi and al-Hakim among others].
Therefore, when you know, O Dear Sister, that fasting subdues the desires and reduces their severity, and that it is these desires and lusts that lead to Hell Fire, then you will see how fasting comes between a fasting person and Hell Fire and you will rush to fast in Ramadan and after Ramadan in the best possible way.
Al-Qur'an rather talks about the reward of fasting and there are verses which general meaning infers that those who obey Allah will be saved from Hell, and fasting is a form of obeying Allah. We will leave the verses that talk about the reward to the section related to Paradise. However, the Ahadith of our beloved Prophet Mohammad, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, are clear in this regard;
Abu Said al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, said: "No servant fasts on a day in the path of Allah except that Allah removes the Hell Fire seventy years further away from his face." [Bukhari and Muslim] Abu Sa`eed al-Khudri relates that the Messenger of Allah salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said : "Fasting is a shield with which a servant protects himself from the Fire" [Ahmad, Sahih]
`Uthman Ibn Abil-`Aas relates that the Messenger of Allah salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said : "Whoever fasts a day in the way of Allah, Allah places between him and the Fire a trench like that between heavens and the earth". [at-Tirmithi and at-Tabarani, sahih]
Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said : "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained." [Bukhari]
The Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said : "When it is the first night of Ramadan the evil devils are chained. The gates of Fire are locked- not a single gate is opnened, and the gates of Paradise are opened- not a single gate is locked, and a caller calls out :'O seeker of good come forward, and O seeker of evil withhold, and there are many whom Allah frees from the Fire - and that is every night. [at-Tirmithi, Ibn Majah, and Ibn Khuzaimah : Hasan]
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, climbed upon the mimbar (pulpit) and said: "Aameen [O Allah grant it], aameen, aameen". So it was said, "O Messenger of Allah, you climbed upon the mimbarand said : "aameen, aameen, aameen"? So he said :"Jibraa'eel, `alaihi assalam, came to me and said, 'Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and does not have [his sins] forgiven and so enters Fire, then may Allah distance him, say aameen". So I said "aameen". [Ibn Khuzaimah, Ahmad and al-Baihaqui : Sahih]
Jabir,radhiya Allahu `anhu relates that the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam said :"In every day and every night, during the month of Ramadan, there are people to whom Allah grants freedom from the Fire, and there is for every Muslim a supplication which he can make and will be granted". [al-Bazzaar, Ahmad and Ibn Majah; Sahih]
In the famous hadith of Mu`ath ... I said O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an act which will take me into Paradise and keep me away from Hell-Fire. He said: you have asked me about a major matter, yet it easy for him for whom Allah Almighty makes it easy. You should ..., You should fast in Ramadan .... Then he (the Prophet) said : shall I not show you the gates of goodness ? Fasting is a shield ...[at-Tirmithi]
We pray to Allah to make for us this Ramadan a shield from Hell Fire.

A Quote From Salahuddin Ayyubi
Abu Shamma, Kitab arRawadatain
"We hope in Allah Most High, to whom be Praise. Who leads the hearts
of Muslims to calm what torments them and ruins their prosperity. Where is
the sense of honor of the Muslims? The pride of the Believers? The zeal of
the Faithful? We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers
for their part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in
zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to
straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone. What
unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What
sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and
distributed and divided amongst them. There is not a king left in their
lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his
neighbors to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military
efforts. In defense of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend
life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and
champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been done
purely out of zeal for him they worship in jealous defense of their faith.
The Muslims on the other hand are weakened and demoralized; they have become
negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupefaction and completely
lacking in enthusiasm. If, Allah forbid, Islam should draw reign, obscure
her splendor, blunt her sword there would be no one, east or west, far or near
who would blaze the zeal for Allah's religion, or choose to come to the aid of
Truth against Falsehood. This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from
far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident
[He speaks about himself and the small party of believers who began with him and
then became a large party]; but we are confident thanks to Allah- alhamdulillah-
in the help that will come from him and entrust ourselves to him in sincerity of
purpose and deepest devotion. InshaAllah, InshaAllah the disbelievers shall
perish and the Faithful have a sure deliverance.

Doing everything with "ihsan"
We are often reminded by khateebs and imams to do things to the best of our ability. And, we often respond by nodding our heads and thinking, “when is he going to stop talking?”
But, the real issue at hand is not whether we know doing our best is important, but rather “how do we know we are doing, or did, our best?”
Before I answer that question, why is this important to know?
Imagine yourself standing on the Day of Judgment. For as far as you can see, there is an ocean of people, packed close together. There’s hardly any room to move. You stand on your toes, trying to figure out where you are and what is going on, hoping to get a glimpse of something to give you comfort. The most shocking of all in this intense scene is that, in this immense crowd of people, there is a deathly silence, filled with fear, as you see the angels in the distance carrying the thrown of Allah.
Ask yourself, what side are you standing on?
Allah (SWT) illustrates in surah Waqiah (56), the frightful scene on the Day of Judgment, and what will become of the Earth. After which, He (SWT) says that the people will be separated in to three groups. There will be those on the right, who will eventually being entering Paradise, and only Allah knows best as to how long they will be spending in Hellfire. With regard to those on the left, what will be their state? It will be as if their skin is hung from their bones like coats are hung on hooks, as they stare up at the awesome throne of Allah and dread what is about to become of them.
Then, there is that one group separated from the rest. Allah describes them as the sabiqoon, the foremost. They will be those who strove to be the foremost in this life, to be the foremost in the Hereafter, honored by being placed in the same ranks as the Prophets of Allah.
So, ask yourself, “which side are you on?”
The scholars define ihsan as the concept of performing an act in the best way possible, achieving peak performance.
We know we did our best when we know we’ve fulfilled each one of the characteristics of peak performance.
In the upcoming posts, I’ll be discussing each characteristic, individually.
Something to act upon: For you, what does it feel like to achieve peak performance? (Please, post your responses below so that others may benefit.)

Peak Performance- Intro.
I begin in the name of Allah.
(Note: I will be interchangeably using “peak performance”, excellence, and ihsan.)
There are many ayaat of the Quran and ahadeeth of the Prophet (SAW) that refer to ihsan. I chose the following hadeeth, because it is the most explicit.
As narrated by Abu Ya’la Shaddad bin Aws (RA): He narrates the Messenger of Allah (SAW) as saying “Verily, Allah prescribed excellence in all things.”
Usually when excellence, or ihsan, is referred to, we assume that it is in regards to how we stand in salah, or some other religious act. However, the excellence that is required of us goes beyond the typical devotional acts that we do on a daily basis. In fact, excellence goes beyond any physical act, because an act that is considered to be excellent for one person may be a simple, or even lazy, effort for someone else. Rather, excellence is a mindset to be achieved as often as possible.
“Peak performances are those magic moments [when] it all [comes] together- both physically and mentally. The performance is exceptional, seemingly transcending ordinary levels… They are the ultimate high, the thrilling moment that [people] work for in their pursuit of excellence.” - Viki Crane and Jean Williams, sports psychologists
“Trying to articulate the zone is not easy because it’s such an indescribable feeling. That moment doesn’t happen often, and when it does happen, you feel like you’re playing out of your head! You aren’t feeling any tension or any pressure and physically your strokes are just flowing, every ball you hit is going in. Emotionally you’re really calm. There’s no strain involved. It’s a euphoric feeling. The feeling that whatever you touch turns to gold. Whatever you do, whatever decision you make on the court, whatever stroke or shot you try, you know it’s going to work.“- Chris Evert, Tennis Champion
In no way am I saying that these non-Muslims realized what ihsan is or achieved it. What I want you to recognize, however, is that they understood what it means to perform at the highest level.
In this series, I will be discussing the psychological aspects of building and retaining an attitude of excellence, by discussing the following topics:
- the importance of doing everything with ihsan
- high self-confidence
- total commitment
- strong performance focus
- coping well with stress
- coping well with distractions
- optimistic, positive attitude
- high personal standards
- well developed competitive plans
- control emotions and remaining appropriately activated
- viewing anxiety as beneficial
- setting performance goals
Something to act upon: Describe in detail one instance where you achieved peak performance. (Please, post your responses below so that others may benefit.)

Dream with me
Dream with me
Of a tomorrow that's coming
And if it doesnt come
We will bring it ourselves
We will start walking on our path
Our many footsteps will lead us to our dream
No matter how many times we fall
We will be able to rise again
Find the way through, challenge and defy the dark clouds
We'll find our night transformed into a thousand days
Only if we dream
Dream with me my friend
Our footsteps will shorten the way
I care about my innocent dream
Whatever it may beIt will satand with its soul beside us
No matter how long the way becomes
Even if we become lost, my friend
Our reunion will gather us in embrace
Toward our dreamOnly if we dream
