From a blog with very nice photographs with not always related long texts: The Island of Truth and Lies.
There are many different shades of life presented by the many experiences and influences brought into our surroundings.
We have one great expectation to grow in our life and to make it better all the time, looking forward to perhaps an unreachable dream. Those who believe in the Divine Creator know that life is fare-most the greatest gift and that life is sealed by the Grace of salvation making us able to live by a still greater expectation of a better world to come. With that hope by the Grace of Salvation we can nurture our personal choice to opt the option of living and enjoy every moment we receive from the Creator. For that life we should be thankful for each blessing in our present life and the other life still to come and hoped for.
In our life where may be the shadow of all those experiences and special moments of life? The memories which can build up our life and make our book of life a great story-book to accompany us on paths still unknown.
We may not be any more the one we were when we were a child. All those experience , which we liked and did not like, have moulded us in an other child. The innocence of our childhood is gone. But by the years we become softer and perhaps less experimenting, putting much more in perspective. When older the empty days can be filled with memories.Life may be going on for no reason, but we can give a lot of reason to our life, and that is what we should do.

रहगुज़र जिंदगी
मेरे हाथों से छूटता वक्त है फिर भी कितनी
बेअसर जिंदगी
जीने के आस में हरवक्त रहती ये
अग्रसर जिंदगी

बेख़बर जिंदगी
कभी आज को खुल के जीती हुई ये
मुख़्तसर जिंदगी
कल के सुनहरे सपने सजातीे रहती

How many people do not chase a dream they allow mastering their mind? Lots of people are blind to what they should see but want to go looking for something which seems unavailable and far away, but often seems better than where they live, instead of searching the richness in their own habitat.
People should know the treasures are not hidden in a secret cave but are hidden in the own heart to which the own spirit and the set-apart or Holy Scriptures are the key to enter.

When we start our life we do not have any specific dreams or aspirations; When we start seeing all those attracting things around us we want to get up from our four pats to stand up on two limbs and to come to conquer the world around us. We start having lots of dreams and lots of aspirations, but when we get older we encounter also lots of defeats and disillusions.
Somehow deep in our heart we may feel a certain call, a cry that there could be an Al Khaleeq (The Creator), but most people do not want to know about some One Who is Greater than they and has their life in His Hands. But without this Divine Creator man shall have to find that life is empty and time is restricted, coming to see that in this life we shall never get to that high point of total fulfilment.
When finding Allah the Exalted, or the God above all gods, we shall be able to grow and find peace in our heart, how much other people may try to destroy the good name of Allah and want to bring fear over the world, blaspheming Allah and besmearing the Muslim community.

To remember
dreams sketched in your duas (= your very essence of worship) > visuals you created in your mind > voice out to Allah = like statues made of clay.

The dreams that you have sketched in your duas, the visuals that you have created in your mind about how that “moment” would look like, the imaginary rehearsal sessions in your washroom where you prepare for the “feeling” lest you dont feel silly- we all have these dreams. Getting that degree or that job, that dream marriage, that dream family, driving your dream car or unpacking at your dream home; all of us have so many things we want, wish for, ask for.
The wishes and duas we voice out to Allah are like the statues made of clay. In our limited capacities, thats the closest we can be to the reality we want to have. So we need Al Muhyi to give life to those statue like dreams, by making them real in flesh and blood. So ask Al Muhyi to give life to your duas by manifesting them…

Toestand van de doden De gedachten over de toestand van de doden, zoals we die vinden in het Oude Testament, komen velen erg deprimerend over. Het valt echter niet te ontkennen dat God de mens, na zijn zonde, de toegang heeft ontzegd tot eeuwig leven. Dat vertelt God ons ten minste in het boek Genesis. […]
We gaan verder in op de vraag of er wel bewijzen kunnen gevonden worden dat er één God of meerdere goden zijn die hebben ingestaan voor het ontstaan van het universum. Het is maar in latere jaren, toen de wetenschap vorderde dat mensen zijn gaan twijfelen aan het bestaan van goden en of Één Ware Schepper God.

Vanuit dat land trok hij naar Assyrië, waar hij Nineve, Rechobot–Ir en Kalach bouwde, en ook de […]

De mens werd geschapen met een vrije wil en heeft dus keuzevrijheid. God stelt ons door middel van Zijn opvoedingsproces voor keuzes. Uit wat wij kiezen, […]

Vragen naar het goede Nu kwam er iemand naar Jezus toe met de vraag: ‘Meester,wat voor goed moet ik doen om het eeuwige leven te verwerven?’ Hij antwoordde: ‘Waarom vraag je me naar het goede? Er is er maar één die goed is. Als je het leven wilt binnengaan, houd je dan aan zijn geboden’. […]
“Many in the church have turned their back on serious study, and have embraced an anti-intellectualism which refuses to learn anything from scholarship at all lest it corrupt their pure faith. It is time to end this stand-off, and to re-establish a hermeneutic of trust (itself a sign of the gospel!) in place of the […]
Many who call themselves Christian do like to follow Augustine, even more than Christ. they do agree with him that reading the Bible is no longer necessary once God had fully cultivated faith, hope, and love in us (On Christian Doctrine, 1.39). In other words, according to them, once we are mature in Christ, the […]
On March 13 Belgium came in lockdown after already some weeks of limited possibilities to work or to move around. Being retired one would think the restrictions for people going or not going to work and having to stay at home (in your own place) would not change much for that person. I must say […]

Coronavirus has been spreading rapidly across the world, affecting more than 177 countries and claiming more than 36,200 lives.

Today’s Thought “Trained by constant practice” (May 31) How thought challenging is the letter to the Hebrews; the above quotation particularly challenged us this morning! Paul (?) is telling his Hebrew readers, with their upbringing in ‘knowing’ God’s word that “by this time you ought to be teachers” (5:12) – yet it seems clear they […]
Today’s Thought “Let us then with confidence” (May 30) In reading the letter to the Hebrews we uncover a rich mine of thoughts that challenge and stimulate our thinking. It is packed full of encouragement for those whose aim is to genuinely follow in the footsteps of Christ! But we must take care not to […]
Today’s Thought “Refresh my heart in Christ” (May 29) Paul, in writing to Philemon whom he has converted to Christ some time earlier, describes himself as “a prisoner for Christ Jesus” (verse 1). He says to him “brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ” (verse 20). Paul […]
Today’s thought “Having the appearance of godliness” (May 27) Today we completed reading Paul’s inspiring – and challenging – letters to Timothy: there are so many lessons we can (and should) take for ourselves from the advice Paul gave him. “Flee youthful passions” Paul told him – not just avoid them! The younger generation today […]
Today’s thought “If we endure” (May 26) 2 Timothy 2 We continue reading the very personal final letter of Paul to Timothy, his “beloved child” in the faith. He says to him (and can we imagine this being to us?) “my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you […]
Tonight let us remember the bad and the good that came over our people and be grateful for the way the Elohim is helping us day in day out.
Time of distress should never be an excuse to not follow the mitzvah of our God. As such now in a time of lockdown, being isolated we should still have a Memorial Meal.
One Passover tradition asks that if people can afford to, they provide those less fortunate with foods that are eaten during the holiday, like matzah, eggs, chicken or wine.
Before the Israelites escaped Egypt they solemnly prepared themselves for their escape and had the seder in their closed circle, what we shall have to do in 2020 as well.
Israeli parents did their best that their children could enjoy a normal Purim. Medical face-masks make a big appearance at holiday events. 39+ Israelis have coronavirus. President Rivlin expected to give first mandate to Benny Gantz.
Een zalig Pesach toegewenst! – Blessed Passover!
De opdracht van Godswege omtrent het doorvertellen van Gods daden moeten wij ook tijdens de isolatiemaatregelen rond het coronavirus opvolgen.
Wegens het Coronavirus zal er in 2020 geen mogelijkheid zijn om gezamelijk de Shemoth te herdenken en zal eenieder alleen in de huiskring 14 Nisan kunnen vieren.
Ook vandaag lopen velen in de wereld met een masker op, zij het om schoonheid te herinneren maar ook om hun eigen te verstoppen voor de ander.
Vanuit de geschiedenis van Esther zijn veel parallellen te trekken naar de huidige situatie in het Midden-Oosten. In Perzië, het huidige Iran, is niet veel veranderd als het gaat om Jodenhaat en anti-Israël retoriek.
Ook al is Purim of Poerim voor ons geen Bijbels hoogtijdfeest zoals het ietsje later komende Pesach of Pascha op 14 Nisan en verdere hoogdagen dit jaar van 8-16 April, laten wij het toch niet na om er een hele gezellige boel van te maken in de familiekring zo wel als in de gemeenschap.
