Loyalty

Loyalty is faithfulness or a devotion to a person or cause, A feeling or attitude of devoted attachment and affection for a person or a cause...this is what u'll get by checking the dictionary.
The above might be a very good explanation of the word loyalty since loyalty is indeed being faithful and devoted to a person or a cause but as u look at it u begin to wonder where does that feeling come from? well the answer is :

• Thankfulness


• Respect


• Devotion

Thankfulness develops into respect, respect develops into devotion. In order to develop loyalty, one needs a just person, someone who really cares for him and for others. Loyalty is action, not only thought.

In the period of Kamakura shogunate, Kamakura was the gathering place for all samurai,No matter what, when a samurai received the message "Isa Kamakura!" (at once to Kamakura!) he had to come there at any cost. This was a simple act of loyalty.

So loyalty can not be given or bought it can only be earned since no matter how much u fear, seek the acceptance of someone he can never earn ur loyalty unless u admire, respect, and appreciate that person and I also want to remind u that loyalty can not be only held to a person but in alot of cases loyalty is to be held to a cause or principle and that is what the Samurai code of Honour is all about.

So being loyal to a person or a cause arise from within the person's heart but to act according to loyalty is what's all about, for being loyal even in the cost of ur own life and here comes the big decision to make is ur loyalty to what u believe in more important or is it ur mortal life? some would say " Hey when u r dead u r dead, end of the story" well I can't think of something more wrongful than that in our case since if u r really loyal to what u believe in then dying to it is the most honorable death. It is not about being loyal but how r u devoted to the person u r loyal to and from here we can see how devoted the Samurai class were to the code of honor that they lived by that if they dishonor them-selves or their masters (that they r loyal to) they preform seppuku (the samurai act for suicide) and that is how loyal they where...

U see being loyal is being true to your-self and if u r not true to your-self then u r just living a big lie in which u r trying to avoid what really maters in this life and when the end draws near u'll only think in ur self if only I was loyal and faithful to (My family, my respectable ones, to GOD) but then it is too late for that, so all u have to do now is to determine ur principles and ur priorities and be loyal and devoted to them and determine what is really important and what is ur life is all about do it now since u can....

And here we go again

And now after Ramadan has left us (the same goes for the Eid) I think I'm obliged (I don't know by what I just feel like that) to pick up where I left about the Bushido's 7 virtues and we have (Honour and Loyality) which I found to be a very distiguished virtues and I hope that I'll be able to talk about them, well enough of the chit-chat let's rock and roll...

Merry Eid to all

Merry Eid to all, may all ur wishes come true and I wish u wealth health and all the happiness in the world and many many more....

With these warm wishes I start my post ,which will be more like a short message than a post actually, and with a true hope that God will remove the tribulation that has been placed upon Iraq and the Iraqis and replace it by peace and prosperity....Amen.

I just hope that we will carry on what we have been doing in Ramadan from charity, loving, and adoration to God... and to always remember that God is looking at us and that He said in the holly book of Quraan that He won't change the status of a nation till they change what is in their-selves so if we want the distress we r in to be removed then we should start with our-selves and may God bless u all...

Farewell Ramadan

In couple of days now we will be saying" Farewell Ramadan and see u next year by God's will"...

Now after all the fasting, prayer, and all our trials to be complete Muslims, after all that and as the end of Ramadan draws near a big question is popped up "What is after Ramadan?" will everything be back to "Normal" and actually what is "Normal" to us? does it mean that we will be far away from God as we were before Ramadan? doing all the stuffs that we are forbidden to do, skipping prayer, and not considering what God has Ordered us to do?,all that just because Ramadan is over and we have increased our good deeds so now we can even the scale by doing all what we want of the forbidden deeds till next Ramadan and then we will start over again...is that really how we really want to live?

Some may say that we don't mean to forget about our religion after Ramadan it is just that we tend to forget because we no more feel connected to God like we used to feel in Ramadan, Why is that? it is just because every month that is not Ramadan is simply not Ramadan, it is just an ordinary month in which we r not obliged to perform any deed that may remind us of God so we tend to forget or pretend to have forgotten.

Well I must not forget that in Ramadan all the Devils r manacled so in Ramadan all that we have to fight against is our-selves and desires while in other than Ramadan we've got two sides to fight against, so in other than Ramadan a lot of people would say "I was tempted by the devil" and goes with that all the time and saying "the Devil is strong" and such crap, well let me tell u something the Devil is not that strong at all as many may imagine but ur ultimate war is with ur own self and desire, the person's self and desire is what we really fighting against. The devil may just put a bad idea in ur mind as a choice and u will be the person who is deciding to take that choice and believe me, by following what ur desires tell u, it will be ur downfall.

Now after knowing that should make us wonder if we r able to restrain our-selves and desires for a whole month why r we unable to restrain them in the rest of the year? it is simply because we believe that we r unable to do so, we believe that we r weak and that we can't stand against our own desires, and that is due to the weakness in our believes and minds and because of what we think that we can do and what we can't and if we r unable to free ourselves from that cage of mind we'll never be in peace...

In the end, Ramadan Kareem on u all and Insha Allah it will come next year bringing all the blessing and grace of God upon u all...

How cheap can we get

Seriously is there no limit for how cheap the Iraqi blood can get it just keeps going down and down and may be the next thing u know before they kill u they'll charge u a fair amount of money like it is a service that been offered to u or may be after they've killed u they'll just go to ur family saying "hey u owe us some money, we r the guys who killed ur son, show some gratitude u ungrateful people"....

Sorry for the rather harsh intro but I had to let out some steam...
This post is dedicated to a person I know, a follow human being his name is "Kareem", I don't know him very well to know his last name, Kareem is a simple guy with a small family, he worked hard for the sake of that family he may have done some mistakes in his life but he hadn't seriously hurt anyone intentionally, he wasn't in a death squad or anything he was just a normal guy trying to live his life with his family in the best way he had known...

So the question is WHY? why in the sake of God why? why in the sake of whatever the guys who killed him worship (if they do believe in anything cause I doubt it) why? is it because of money cause I assure u he doesn't have a lot,is it because of his job I know that he worked as a guard in a simple house and when he was killed he wasn't even there so what is it?, is it because of his doctrine cause I can assure u that it has nothing to do with that because we Iraqis have been living together far far before Saddam like brothers and we had never heard of any casualty because of a person's doctrine in Saddam's time or before so why now? some would claim that the freedom manifests things that were buried deep inside, well I can simply refute this claim since as I look at all the people around me -and I know quite a few people- I have never heard or saw or even felt that the difference in our doctrine would be an issue between us and also I can't even think of a Muslim that would kill a fellow Muslim unjustly after all what had been said in the Holy Quraan and said by our prophet about all the Muslims being brothers so it is rationally impossible for a person to kill his brother.
So if they r not Muslims then what r they well that is even more obvious question to answer "THEY BELIEVE IN NOTHING" except may be for the money that is being paid to them by whoever benefits from the chaos is Iraq and in the world if we r talking about terrorism since "Terrorism has no faith", I remember once that a certain person told me -and it has been said by a lot of people- that "Every terrorist is a Muslim but not every Muslim is a terrorist" well actually it is more like "Every terrorist pretends to be Muslim so every Muslim is an anti-terrorist".
In the end all I can say is "God bless ur soul Kareem" and for those who pretend to be Muslim all I can say is "God may respite but he never forget".
May God have his mercy upon u Kareem and upon all the Iraqi martyrs and God bless us all...

WOW Live and Learn

You know how some times u think that u know everything about something and u r so confident about it that when anyone speaks of that subject u'll just say "So, I know everything about it" and when anyone tries to explain something about it u'll just say "Don't waist ur time I've learn all that could possibly be learned about it" so I as a human being -as I hope to be- thought ignorantly that I know everything about certain things and one of those things is "Islamic fasting" and I once again was proven to be wrong and here is the story...

I was sitting in front of the TV and just exchanging channels trying to find something good -or may be just to feel relieved that I have lots of choices- and then I landed on this channel that is showing an educational program on Ramadan and the Islamic fasting and I was like "OH not again what is there to learn" I kept watching -and thank God I did that- there was this guy that is talking about the benefits of fasting to the Human body and since I do care about such stuff I kept watching and in the beginning he said the usual information that fasting is good for ur health and there came the new information that I didn't know, he said that in ordinary situations the human body renews it-self at a whole (except for the brain cells) every five years and that from time to time the weaker cells is replaced by stronger newer ones and that is a periodic operation for the human being till the body is old then this operation is slower and slower, so what does that have to do with Islamic fasting? well through fasting the cells of the human body is starved so the weaker cells will be eliminated cause they can't take the pressure so they'll have to be replaced by newer ones so in conclusion after 29-30 days of this process the human body will be completely renewed (of course except for the brain cells) so instead of being renewed every five days by fasting Ramadan the human body will be renewed every year with fresh strong cells isn't that a miracle or what?...

OK now one may ask what is the difference between Islamic fasting and and ordinary diet it is much easier to diet, well the first difference between Ramadan and total fasting is the timing of the food; during Ramadan, we basically miss lunch and take an early breakfast and do not eat until dusk. Abstinence from water during this period is not bad at all and in fact, it causes concentration of all fluids within the body, producing slight dehydration. The body has its own water conservation mechanism; in fact, it has been shown that slight dehydration and water conservation, at least in plant life, improve their longevity, while dieting or total fasting causes sever dehydration or starvation and that is more damaging for the body than being useful.

For those who may say that the fasting hours is unjustly long I say at the contrary it is what it should be for the following reason: when a person eat, about 3-4 hours is required for digestion and then about the same time for the body to absorb and make use of that food so let's say it is about 8 hours for the whole operation and since we Iraqis eat quite big and greasy meals (Suhour) then we need about 10 hours for the complete operation so let's say we have finished our last meal (Suhour) at 5 AM so after 10 hours (about 3 PM) the whole digestion and absorption operation will be ended so the starvation of the body will start at 3 PM (this is a timing for the Arabic countries) till the Futour which may be around 6 PM that means three hours of body starvation (which is not along time at all if u look at it) so in these three hours the body will be obliged to use the stored fat in the body to produce energy and by getting rid of the extra fat the body becomes healthier and in addition to the stored fat the body will get rid of the poisonous materials in the body in this period (it has been proven that during the fasting the human urine contains more harmful materials than in usual days) but do u know what is even more surprising? it has been proven that our prophet Mohammad (God bless his soul) used to nap before the after-noon prayer and after it he some times would take some of his followers and walk around the city which means that he used to walk around the city exactly in the time when the body is devouring the stored fat in order to increase of that operation and he was no nutrition expert but he does that in order that we may learn from him because as he said "strong a believer is better than weak a believer" and by that we keep our bodies strong and healthy and a healthier body leads to a healthier mind, at last all that I can say is "GOD IS THE GREATEST" and "Live and Learn"...

The last of the Iraqis

It is the year 2017 and all the Iraqis r gone save one and that is "Sa3oody" this is new series that is being broad casted on Al-Sharqya TV channel it is not always hilarious but it is nice and the intro song is very COOL so I hope that u'll enjoy it
