Flying Without Wings

Assalam Alikom wa rahmat ALLAH
Peace and blessing be upon you

Hello Everybody

Today, I'd a meeting with Myself to seek for some answers about some questions. Well, Me + Myself, but Erine is not involved in such post [:P] Anyway, here's the short dialogue.

- Me: Can we fly without wings?
-- Myself: Hmm. I guess we can if we want!
- Me: How?
-- Myself: Well, it's all about imagination + inspiration.

As all of us know, life is hard and requires us to make continues effort in order to reach goals we need, either on the short run or on the long run. However Subhaan ALLAH, I always wonder, why people are tiding themselves to Earth in a way that causes troubles for them!

I totally understand that people are different in everything. I also might say that every person who was found on this planet since dawn of history is a unique character, inspite of being good or bad person.

I'm talking about how unique we are, and that's why ALLAH (swt) - GOD - created Man; i.e. to use his mind for the purpose of Urbanising Earth in order to gain reward from HIM (swt)

On the other hand, because many people do not understand that everyone is unique, and everyone can be unique; they spent their efforts in destroying not in building + creating. Well that's their own problem for sure, because everyone can be useful in case he/she discovered the power inside.

Why did I choose to fly?
Well, flying itself has two destinations. From + To. Let us see exactly what happened in the two phases.

1. Take off: Simply a bird flies from the early morning till the end of the day, looking for the daily food for himself + his family. Man also is called to fly higher and higher, not only for the food but also for a clear vision.

As you know, in Architecture + Urbanization (A+U), there's a perspective called "Bird's Eye Perspective" which allow the viewer to look at the place within the context around, which is something pretty close to what you do via Google Earth. Anyway, this help you to see better, and therefore understand better.

2. Landing: On the other hand, bird returns back home at the end of day to feed his family. Man also should return back to the normal view in order to take an action plan for solving problems on the ground, which he saw better within the higher level.

Simply I say, then, it's not about the flying itself, it's about the purpose.

The problem that people forget that ALLAH (swt) had gifted us with minds in order to use in the right way, and not to use it in a strange way, or sometimes do not use at all. Yes, I totally understand that people are not equall, however, why people are being tided to the ground? It's not only about minds; it's also about souls.

Simply, as body needs nutrition via food + drink + exercises, mind needs nutrition via using them in situations + developing them via reading. Of course, soul need nutrition via being in contact with the Creator, ALLAH (swt) / GOD

I want to highlight on this point because soul is the key for everything; you know, ascending process is always harder than descending one. That's why I think Man should make more effort to ascend higher to get reward from ALLAH (swt), while it's very easy to take the short-cut, i.e to descend.

Guys: ALLAH (swt) is the greatest. HE (swt) had gifted us, and dose not wants anything from us except worshiping from the wide perspective of personal worshiping + applying your role in your community. It's a parallel path Man should walkthrough in case

Finally,
As much as I'm flying without wings in the sky
I always return back to the ground as my original state
A Cat without a hat. However I do have 9 souls / 7 souls according to the Arab world.

You know what? "Abu Horaira" was one of the famous companions of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) whom was nominated as No.1 in writing down/documenting Hadith of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). Do you know what his name means? It means "Father of the Cats" because he loved cats so much and used to bring his own cat with him everywhere. How cute :)

Well, I can not pretend I'm Abou Horirah from the scholar point of view because the comparision means that I'm ZERO, however I'm trying to be at least from the Cat's point of view.

Well, not all people love cats, however I want to say Man should fly into the sky for a better view, and when he returns back to Earth, he should find the best way to fulfill the goals. In all things, ALAH (swt) must be the companion and the sustainer for people, in case they want real reward in everything + judgment day.

Wallahi - I swear - words can not express feelings of being so close to ALLAH (swt).

Why people do not spread there wings away and fly to ALLAH (swt)?

O' People! I wish if I could tell you how great ALLAH/GOD is
