a friend posted this in the forums, please pass it around if u can.

I went to a funeral today.
It was for a quiet, gentle, softly-spoken little man, a retired science teacher. He was 82, and a very self-effacing, lonely man. He had no children, had outlived his wife by a dozen years, and his old friends were all gone too. The only people there were the few of us who had cared for, and about, him in his final years. It was very sad.
I was thinking on the way home about all those quiet people, the teachers who raise our children to sentience, the nurses who tend us, all those faceless people we need and never really notice, the "Eleanor Rigbies" of our world, and I wanted to do something.
And while I was thinking about Ray, and how he had helped to train the scientists that gave us this 21st century wonderland, I had an Idea, to use the net, or wire-club.
You guys never knew Ray, I know, but I'm asking for a weird favour.
His name was Ray Bunting, and he was shy and painfully polite at all times, he would have giggled and hidden at the very idea.
I would like you to pray for him, those of you who do and those who don't, toast him when you can, for me.
But the backbone of my favour, the weird bit, is this:
:- I would like to ask you to write his name, wherever you think fit, anywhere at all.I don't care where, on a wall, a tree, put up a sign somewhere, use your imagination. The thought that this quiet, humble little man has his name written all over this global village of ours has a certain...rightness to it, a tribute to ALL the Ray's of this world. And it would mean a lot to me, and to others, if you could.
His full name was David (Ray) Bunting, but never used david, so write him Ray Bunting.
And there will be people world-wide asking themselves who Ray Bunting was, and that is fitting, because he spent his life in the service of his fellow man, unsung, unappreciated, but always there, doing his best for our chikdren, like all those thousands of nameless others
So please, can you do this for me?
Here is the unknown poem (not mine) that we read to him as we lowered him to his final rest.
One at Rest
Think of me as one at rest
for me you should not weep
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts
For I am just asleep
The living, thinking me that was
Is now forever still
And life goes on without me
As time forever will
If your heart is heavy now
Because I've gone away
Dwell not long upon it friend
for none of us can stay
those of you who liked me
I sincerely thank you all
And those of you who loved me\I thank you most of all

Abstinence

One of the things that Fasting teaches is abstinence. It's in this period of fasting that u have to ignore every eating stuff and control urself from other desires ( including sexual, misbehaving, joking neddlessly, acting like a dope. etc ). one of the things said about fasting is that it is the only thing done entirely for allah. other forms of worship are more like to gain good deeds ( sawab ), but fasting is done for allah.

The Holy month of Ramadan

The month of Ramazan is the month when Muslims all over the world fast, to show their love for God. It is said that in this month, all the emissionaries of shayatin (satan) are locked up, so that People are kept safe from them, when they fast for Allah.
Muslims start there fast before the break of dawn, and break it at sunset, at the call of the prayer.
One of the specialities of ramadan is the fact, that it is said, that the doomsday has a huge possibility of being on the 27th day of ramazan. it is that on this night, that people pray to god, for forgiveness and blessings.

Fear of my heart

FEAR
The fear in my heart.
The soul of my heart.
The agony and the pain.
The memory of my heart.

In time, it cowered.
Writhed with the fear.
Crippled in the darkness,
In the light it teared.

Belonging nowhere, being not even a memory,
It seeked a purpose, story of its own,
It wished for a legend, to be called a legacy
In the darkness not to be thrown.

But the cowering of my heart,
The stories of the dark,
The shadow of the light,
The crippler’s might.

How can I face? My fears without courage?
With no one to hold my hand?
In this lonely land.
The darkness and the rage…
I only wished for a story to call my own,
But in my own fears I am entangled.
My soul tells me to go ahead, and forget this world.
My heart, you are afraid, so rest, be just a mould.

ok i realize that i have made many things unclear. the thing is i have just copied and pasted my stuff. ill write the explaination of the previous things later on.

Destiny

there are some theories that state that "one chooses his own destiny". but the thing is , everybody has two destinies.hardly a few people reach the world of destiny. because of this most people think that destiny is so simple as such, reaching a point where you can be proud of urself and say that u have done something , or sometimes be a loser. but the thing is destiny is not so simple. so ill give an explaination of destiny, the way i understand it.


" destiny, where are you? if i can't find you, i am nothing. i gave up everything , only for you..... "


destiny, is to reach one's heaven. the concept of heaven is still a bit mystery for me. i mean , not all of us want to be just happy for eternity. there are many of us who like many other things. but maybe we will be rid of this greed once we reach heaven. who knows? i havent really thought about heaven. ill go deep into it later.

however, one thing is clear for me. pre- (reaching heaven moment) is like a realization. like knowing wat u have done. and knowing the ryt from wrong. so then how is this related to destiny? well then destiny is the “island” closest to heaven. a point where u realize things that u should realize in heaven ( or hell for some people ). maybe it is just a closer realization. like just knowing a bit of it. there are many paths to reach it. but the point is ultimate. only two for everyone. this brings my theory of " fate plate " into light. ill explain it below. i just want to make one point clear.
true , that we can make our own choice. true, that our life is determined by these choices. also true, what we become in the end is by our efforts, and not by as some people say, fate or destiny.
but , usually the end that we say is the gateway to another world. it seems like an unopenable door. so we assume it to be the end. but in truth, we r afraid. afraid of the ultimate end. this end lies beyond that door. the destiny that lies beyond that door is one of the two destinies, that is determined by our choices. this destin(y/ies) is engraved in our hearts. some of us already know this. we are either afraid to confront it, or just wait for the right moment. many ignore, and many dont even know wat is this world of destiny.
