Another day

salamu aleikum
I have had a visit to the dentist today and had to break my fasting. I think it had to be this way I guess. I feel a bit disappointed about it. But it's going to be allright insha'allah. Then at the supermarket I met a Witness of Jehova. Perhpas that woman could not speak with people about her faith cause she spent more than an hour speaking very quickly and I told her I am muslim and told her some of the feelings I have regarding Islam and I also listened to her (a lot:)) but I am happy cause she had someone to listen to her and she also listened to me and el hamdullillah she heared some of the truths that she didn't know. as a lot of the things that make westerners see Islam is because of how the societies from other arab and far eastern countries have this secular tendancy to use Islam as an excuse for their secular mistakes and the submission of a woman which, of course, many societies use Islam as excuse I say it again. So I let some veils fall down and she listened. But of course, I don't like proselitism, and dont try to convince anybody. Just say, look, observe and try to understand. Ramadan Kareem

Feelings

It makes us face our problems and stand up if we fall. I see it through the way I pray, it's clear, when it makes us put on the ground and then makes us stand up. it has psychologically a very important benefit when we have to face problems in our lives. if we fall, we must stand up. but how? and how easy when we do this all the time through our prayer? it's simple then to face problems. we are used not to look up and ask for help but to look down and feel what it is to bite the dust. Subhana Allah

Night

Salamu aleikom,

I have been working on translations all night long. Now it's 6:03 am. Well, I had to because I prefer to stay awake now during Ramadan and so I don't have to miss the night and all the time it gives to me to study, meditate and feel. So I had to do some work english-spanish and the truth is , I love doing this at night. Then little by little I get ready to the first prayer and before this I eat a little something. This year I don't feel hungry at all. I was just thinking today that perhaps I could spend another day fasting without interruption. Now it's so calm here. I have to hear some Hadith but first I wanted to post this. It's the only place right now I find to write about what I do and how it makes me feel. Those are the moments I love most if not the most, when dawn is almost here. Well, I wanted to upload a MT blog to my own server but even though I payed for perl service, it says my license doesn't have perl permissions (??) anyway. Time for me to listen and read the hadith and then pray. Next Youm Al-Guma' I will have to break my fasting cause I am going to the dentist and he will most probably shoot me with novocaine. So ... this is so sad. First the woman condition didn't allow me the first week. And now this...
Es-sabr gameel....

Dawn

Just after having finished my prayer at Fajr I feel that my heart doesn't make any beating sound perceptible to my senses. Normally I feel it when it beats and just right now, well since yesterday, it feels so good, like nothing is bothering me. I hear the birds singing and it's just so good to hear that. And also it's something I felt yesterday about myself while I was praying. I felt that my body was getting separated or apart from my inner self. I was almot looking at my face from my left side. That was something strange , odd, that happened yesterday. And also I could feel like I was a kind of doll that only moved the jaw, but there was no full stomach, no food, no liquids and just that person praying aloud, it was strange what I felt. Well I think I am going to post the birds play. Yes... And you will hear cars and birds. It's so cold outside right now. So beautiful. as well. Well bye bye for now. People are waking up and starting making up those noises...

Salam,

Maryam

after maghreb

Ok, it's been a new day at RAmadan and this is how I feel right now.

The Intention

I have been listening many times the first Hadith from the fourteen hadith imam Nawawi. It's a slow recitation that I would like to learn by heart before the end of Ramadan. I would like to learn two hadith at least and ... well it's very difficult. But it's such a beautiful language! In Spain we say Ee-bra-heem with the "b" very short but the recitation says Ee-BBr and it changes everything. I mean with this: having the transliteration is not accurate, I have to listen to someone read the lines to understand that there are differences, that the roman alphabet cannot transliterate (english fonetics / french phonetics) the arab words with accuracy. Therefore this is why I wanted to start learning arabic. Right now I am able to write it and read it (with the accents, if not I am almost lost) And then there are these ressources on internet, so helpful, I don't know how to say that right now we are so fortunate because there is no distance now to find the helpful ressources to keep me going on and learning more. Definitely arabic and french are my preferred languages. But arabic is special in many ways. Still I will have to move on and find more ressources. I would like to find a website where the hadith is recited and there is as well the text (with accents) on the same page. Maybe I am asking things that are already on the net. I just am not aware of them. Its raining here. 4:13 am. Peace.

Hadith I need in arabic

I have a web ressource on the net for Hadith. But the truth is, I like reading them in arabic and then read them in english. I would like to know if there is a website where I can hear the hadiths in arabic but with a little english guidelines so I don´t get lost with titles and authors-?? any help.... thanks in advance.

Ramadan mubarak
