Absolutely all of the marriage related issues (faked, real, and fantasies) are completely solvable by following the Islamic teachings & rulings to the letter. Yet we, like ziddi little kids, refuse to go that way and continue fighting our little battles with the Almighty.
Apparently, Islam cuts short our freedoms and puts a cap on our material desires. That obviously means putting our nafs back in its place. And that as we all know is HARD. We would like to do that tomorrow ......
Wish I could talk and had an audience and made a point about something. Yes! Totally!
Couple of excerpts from The Battle for God:
"... But when we asky why the world exists (if it does!) or whether life has meaning, reason can make little headway, and the object of our thought can itself become strange to us. Descartes beside his stove, in his cold, empty world, locked into his own certainty, and uttering a "proof" ("I think, therefore I am"),...
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth.
The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp:
the Lamp enclosed in Glass:
the glass as it were a brilliant star:
Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west,
whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it:
Light upon Light!
God doth guide whom He will to His Light:
God doth set forth Parables...

Don't know what to think of things. Wish I had my good friends here with me.
This song doesn't have to do with any thing at all other than that I like singing it out loud. However, I have a nagging feeling that people around me don't appreciate my efforts.
jay'Ra dil tou laya merey naal - ley sambhal

Another day, another divorce. This time for someone I know personally for the last 14 years.
A very well-educated, well-employed, open-minded, shareef guy finally gave into the demands of his wife of 8 years (7 year old son) to part their ways. Guys don't come any better than him.
In-laws and hubby fully supported his wife's career as well as education after shadi. Zero household chores, little restriction on nanga-pan,...
Something has taken away my ability to think. I have never been much of a talker; and now my superlative, imaginative, making-a-mountain-out-of-a-molehill thinking prowess is gone also. kia karoon ga ab? Seriously.
The only person who would really and actually listen to me, isn't talking to me anymore. This has been very disconcerting for me. I am trying to acclimatize to the new situation and hoping that my wife is kind enough to sit through my pseudo- & wannabe-intellectual...
Quantum of Solace was just ok. I thought it had too much action and too little story. We came out asking: ok we kind of understood "solaces" but where was the "quantum"?
Plus the only explanation that my friends and I could come up with for naming this movie so was: the quantums of respective solaces of Bond and his girl were different, and they acheived their solaces together.
I hereby volunteer to offer training to our Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani in speaking to the International media, making sense out of simple questions put to him, and constructing remotely intelligible statements of this own.
Either I get him up to it, or make him shut up till the next elections. Seriously.
