The Silent Conversations

  Have you ever walked into your home and felt an unexplainable sense of calm—or perhaps restlessness? Beyond just being a space filled with furniture and décor, your home is a silent reflection of your inner world. Every object you own carries a story, an emotion, and an energy that speaks volumes about your state of mind. The Psychology of Possessions From the books on your shelf to the way your workspace is arranged, everything in your environment holds a deeper meaning. Studies in environmental psychology show that cluttered spaces often mirror internal chaos, while minimalist setups may reflect a need for mental clarity. But what if we looked at it beyond minimalism and clutter? What if our objects were actually engaging in silent conversations with us? What Your Objects Might Be Saying About You 1. The Books You Keep (or Don't Read) Ever noticed that you keep buying self-help books but never finish them? This could indicate a subconscious search for answers you're not rea...

Neurobecoming

Have you ever looked back at an old photo or reread something you wrote years ago and thought, Wow, I was a completely different person back then? It’s almost like looking at a stranger. And in a way, you are. The truth is, you are never the same person twice. Every experience—big or small—shapes you in ways you don’t always notice. The way you see the world, the things you believe, and even the way you react to situations are constantly evolving. And that’s not just a poetic way of looking at life—it’s science! Life Is Always Reshaping You Think about it: the version of you reading this right now is slightly different from the version of you five minutes ago. Maybe a sentence here sparked a new thought, or maybe you're just a little more aware of the fact that you’re changing all the time. Every conversation, every book you read, every challenge you face—they all leave marks. Some experiences nudge you forward, while others shake you up completely. But whether you realize it or no...

Don't Panic

Lessons from Pandemic We faced a global crisis—Corona! It was not just a physical health issue; it deeply affected our mental health too. What should be done if we face it in any other way today? DON’T PANIC! Most of the time, it’s not the disease itself that harms you the most—it’s the panic that takes over. The moment you hear you have it, stress kicks in: "Oh no! I have it. Will I die soon? What will happen?" Or even, "What if I catch it? What then?" And then, overthinking begins... Want to control it? If you’ve caught it—will you just sit there, waiting for medicine to work? Your willpower matters. No illness, including this one, can be fought without the determination to recover. Even medicine works better when you actively decide to fight back. If you haven’t caught it—be grateful. Appreciate your health, and don’t let unnecessary fear take over your life. In tough times, seek joy. Spend time with loved ones. Life is giving us a chance—a chance to slow ...

Fasting: A Discipline for the Body, A Feast for the Soul

"Fasting is not just a physical discipline, it can be a spiritual feast." Jentezen Franklin Across different religions and cultures, fasting has remained a common spiritual practice—one of the earliest forms of worship and meditation, a way to connect with the Divine. But why do we fast? How does it affect us psychologically? There is a theory that when a person fasts, their veins contract slightly, regulating blood flow. This balance is believed to help in maintaining overall well-being. But does "blood flow" really matter? And if so, how does it impact us? Consider an electric cooler: if the water supply is too fast or too slow, the system malfunctions. Similarly, fasting helps regulate our bodily functions. The human body is like a machine—it needs a steady but controlled flow of nutrients. When this system is maintained, the soul aligns, bringing mental clarity and emotional stability. Fasting helps us recognize how much nourishment our body truly needs and w...

The Historical Significance of Palestine: From First Temple to Hazrat Musa (A)

Palestine in the Time of Hazrat Musa (AS): A Divine Test and a Cosmic Shift The story of Palestine begins with Hazrat Musa (AS) and Bani Israel. After their escape from Pharaoh's oppression in Egypt, the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years due to their disobedience. According to Islamic tradition and Jewish scripture, Allah had promised them a blessed land—Palestine—if they remained steadfast in faith and obedience. However, when ordered to enter the land, they refused out of fear of its inhabitants, leading to their prolonged wandering in the desert (Al-Ma'idah: 21-26). Only after the passing of that generation did their successors, under the leadership of Prophet Yusha (AS) (Joshua), enter the promised land. One unique aspect often overlooked is how this period of wandering reshaped not only the faith but also the identity of Bani Israel. The delay in entering Palestine was not merely a punishment—it was a divine transition where a new generation, unshackled...

Evils Exposed

  The last four write-ups were meant to build a foundation for understanding and recognizing what’s happening around us. If we were to describe it in a single, well-known word, it would be evil. You might wonder why I am starting with such a seemingly negative perspective. However, by the end of this write-up, you may understand the point being raised—one that is based on the ground realities we face daily. Evil exists in many forms, but do we always recognize it? Before identifying its major manifestations, we must first comprehend its nature. The evils in society can vary depending on context, culture, and circumstances. However, some common issues are widely acknowledged as harmful: Corruption – When dishonesty, bribery, and misuse of power become rampant, they erode trust in institutions and hinder social progress. Inequality – Disparities in wealth, opportunities, and resources often lead to marginalization, social unrest, and division. Oppression – The prolonged abuse of powe...
