Think, Mankind

Some journeys don’t start with a step. They start with surrender. Some places cannot be reached by the body, but only by the soul. We chase God through rituals, through discipline, through movement. We stretch and bend, hoping the body will open the door the heart cannot. And the more we reach, the further He seems. Silence becomes a competition. Sacred spaces turn into arenas. And still, God can feel absent. Devotion is not comfort. It is collapse. Remembering, listening, s

Autumn is here again. And in every leaf that falls softly to the ground, there’s a story that ends, a reminder that everything on this earth has an expiration date. The falling leaf is us. It’s humanity. But unlike the leaf, we’ve forgotten that we, too, will one day fall. We rush through life as if it were infinite. We throw away the water and drink the glass.We peel an orange and eat the rind. We pick flowers and never look at them. We waste beauty, meaning, and time, and w

The structure of a tree in my garden made me reflect on the idea that time might not be linear, but circular or branching, as if it revolves upon itself. In fact, it has neither a beginning nor an end, no "now" or "tomorrow," but only a "yesterday" that was once a "tomorrow" for those awaiting it. In nature, everything turns. The Earth revolves around the Sun, electrons orbit the nucleus, plants turn toward the light, and during Hajj, believers circle the Kaaba in a sacred a

“La ilaha illa Allah” — There is no god but Allah. أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمدًا رسول الله This declaration begins with a powerful negation. It states: There is no god , except for Allah. And that in itself should make one pause. Who is Allah? In today's world, churches are emptying. Many are leaving religion behind — often because of contradictions and inconsistencies in their scriptures. Doubt grows where there is no coherence. Meanwhile, the Qur'an not only alig

Bismillah. Most people give the Qur’an a single chance. They open it once, close it, and never return. Some manage a second attempt, only to get lost in the verses. And then there are the few—the very few—who, on the third encounter, never let it go again. We’ve all heard the cliché: “The Qur’an is for those who fear death.”  Let’s be brutally honest: that’s a lie. The Qur’an is not a pillow to soften your fall into the grave. It is the opposite. It is a divine revelation for
