An ever inspiring scene..

The young sailor is approaching the captain... The captain Is looking at him from the bridge


Young sailor: Hey Cap. !
Captain: Hey Boy ..
Young sailor: Sir, the wind is blowing astern. What should we do?
Captain mumbles: We spread the wings and rise..

Young sailor: Sorry Cap.. !?
Captain : We keep our course, Boy.


The young sailor went on his duty, Although he couldn't fully grasp the meaning the first few words the captain mumbled with about flying!, he understood that the captain wants to keep the ship's course.


Years had passed.. and our young sailor has grown up, he got older and wiser, he still works at sea but now he is the master of his own ship..
During one of his voyages he was looking over from the bridge, when he noticed a young sailor coming to him.
He knew that the weather was going to be a bit stiff that day, He smiled when the young sailor approached.. and showed interest.


Young sailor: Sir, the wind is blowing astern what shall we do?
Our Captain looks ahead (facing the bow), and says : We spread the wings and rise son.. That’s what we shall do when it blows, and that’s what I have been doing my whole life son..
The young sailor: I got it sir, you want to keep the course.
The captain replied with a smile -coming deep from his own heart- yes, keep the ship on course, we keep the course son..


The virtue is that we shall never stop trying even when it gets tough and seems impossible, and this phrase "spread the wings & rise" is particularly inspired by what Paul Valéry said in his poem "Le Cimetière marin" :
"Le vent se lève! . . . Il faut tenter de vivre!"
(The wind is rising! . . . We must try to live!)


Because it's not just about how far you can go, it's also about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

(والعصر. إن الانسان لفي خسر. إلا الذين امنوا عملوا الصالحات وتواصوا بالحق وتواصوا بالصبر)"             - سورة العصر- اذن فإن بنى الانسان في خُسرٍ لا محالة مع مرور الزمن! ،  فإن الآية تبينها واضحة صريحة تلك الحقيقة المؤكدة بقسمٍ من الله عزَّ وجلْ؛ إن كل بنى ادم فى خسر مستمر و ممتد الى أن يرث الله الأرض و ما عليها و لكن هناك صنف من بني ادم مستثنون من ذلك الخسران المستمر المُتحقق، ألا و هم : الذين آمنوا وعملوا وتواصوا .. ولكن اذا كان ذلك الخسر حقيقة قد أخبرنا بها الله عز و جل بعدما أقسم بالعصر، فهل هناك علاقة بين ذلك القسم و تلك الحقيقة !؟ و ما هي حقيقة أو صورة ذلك الخٌسر الذي يلحق ببني الانسان !؟ هل هو خسران مادي ام معنوي !؟ و كيف السبيل الي النجاة منه ؟ إن المُتأمِل في حديث الرسول الكريم محمد - صلى الله عليه و سلم - " خير القرون قرني ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم" . إن ذلك الحديث الشريف ما هو إلا تأكيد واضح مُبسَّط لمعنى "سورة" العصر وإذا تأملنا في تاريخ بني البشر عبر مختَلف العصور بدون أن نغتَر بذلك التطور المادي التكنولوجي الذي ت...

God Is the light of Heavens and Earth..

Quran FM For those who seek light; may Allah guide thee and light their way..  Allah says in his holy Quran: " God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The allegory of His light is that of a pillar on which is a lamp. The lamp is within a glass. The glass is like a brilliant planet, fueled by a blessed tree, an olive tree, neither eastern nor western. Its oil would almost illuminate, even if no fire has touched it. Light upon Light. God guides to His light whomever He wills. God thus cites the parables for the people. God is cognizant of everything. "  -Surat An noor verse no. 35- [Allah has mentioned the honour and blessings that He had bestowed upon the believers, saying: (Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth) He is the guide of the dwellers of the heavens and earth. Guidance from Allah is of two types: clarification and making things known; it is also said that the verse means: Allah is the embellisher of the heavens by means of the stars and the emb...

 Photo from an   article By JOE LEE  Nov.2014 Just a small intro. Before going into this, In fact, an object must have an initial V of 11.2 Km/sec "Earth Escape Velocity" in order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet.!! But, We rise against the Earth's Gravity {instantaneously} yes we do {instantaneously again} can't we just Jump! xD Also Notice that, Power is how much work done per sec. { W/sec} from here we can go on.. A Rocket may be having a Big Force pushing it, But it won't reach the outer space if it doesn't have the enough velocity to Escape the Earth's Gravity ~ in other words enough Power to do so!                                                          { Power(P) = Force(F) x Velocity(V) } And I think this applies to everything, just plan physics ! We may all have...
