Glory to Yemen

Every hour, every minute and every second I dream about you oh Yemen.
All kinds of flowers and all the roses belongs to you.
I dream about you when I'm between fields, over and above the branches of trees and over all florescence flowers.
 Every hour, every minute and every second pass sweetly in my life. I dream about you between the lines of my writing.
You are the dew and the rainbow after the rain.
You are my Spring of life oh you my flower. 
Every hour and, every minute and every second uniquely are yours.
You my Spring  flowers, I offer to you my mind to be filled by your fragrance. 
You replenish my thoughts.
I was running around to meet with glory.
Glory is everywhere, Glory is an intricate bliss.
Glory is a gradient of victory to you, Yemen.

المجد لليمن
كل ساعة وكل دقيقة وكل ثانية بتخيلك يايمن.
كل الزهور وكل الورد ملكً لك.
بتخيلك بين الحقول, فوق الغصون وفوق السبول.
 كل ساعة وكل دقيقة وكل ثانية حلوة في حياتي, بتخيلك بين سطور كتاباتي.
انت الندى وقوس قزح بعد المطر.
ياربيع عمري ويازهور خيالي.
كل ساعة وكل دقيقة وكل ثانية لك انت وحدك.
يازهرة في ربيع عمري فداك.
انت الشمس والقمر والنجوم.
أني اطوف للقاء مجدك.
مجدك والعيون الساهرات.
فالمجد والنصر لك يايمن.

He appears in his military uniform like a zebra.

However he is more stupid than a normal donkey.

The country and people are confused by his speech .

His  political rhetoric is dull in the past decade.

His money distribution stretches from Sanaa to the world and even to southern Lebanon.

Most of his time is spent in the pits and tunnels compared to living next to a sewage.

And his end will come in comparison to the end of Dhu Nuwas Humairi.

يظهر في بزته العسكرية كالحمار الوحشي.
لكنه أشد غباءً من الحمار العادي.
لقد ضيع البلاد والعباد في الكلام الفاضي.
وخطابه السياسي بليد وفي الزمن الماضي.
خارطة امواله تمتد من صنعاء الى العالم وحتى الجنوب اللبناني.
يعيش معظم وقته في الحفر والانفاق بجوار المجاري.
ونهايته ستكون كنهاية ذو نواس الحميري.

Wolves and angels in the road

Lightning flashed and the intense cold on the way to the Kingdom of the proud was chilly.

On the way were wolves and other wild beasts, attacking children of humankind.

The chest is broken and the body bulged  due to the  frequent violence and injuries caused by the treacherous journey of turbulence.

Then came the angels in human forms, and in their presence, they ordered the wheat to  grew on the rocks. The high mountains, valleys and coastal plains all responded in growing wheat.

لمع البرق واشتد البرد في الطريق الى مملكة الثلج الابية.
في الطربق كانت هناك ذئاب ووحوش اخرى برية , تهاجم أبناء البشرية.
فانشق الصدر وانتفخ الجسد من كثرة العنف والاذية.
بعدها اتت الملائكة في صور بشرية, فنبت القمح على الصخور  وفي اعالي الجبال والوديان والسهول الساحلية

The thief of cheese and grapes

He stole cheese and attempted to escape the coming torment.
His dream became a mirage after all.
He stole cheese and quickly entered the tunnel; to live forever in the dark.
He stole the cheese and lit a fire in the forest to decoy his pursuers before he vanished into the woods, his escape couldn't prevail.
He stole the cheese and fled into a garden of grapes.
He stole the cheese and burned all the wooden fences of grape garden.
He stole the cheese and destroyed the country grape farms.
Finally he is a thief who is remembered in the history of stealing eras.

سرق الجبن وهرب, عله ينجو من المحاسبة والعذاب.
حلمه صار كالسراب.
سرق الجبن ودخل سريعاً النفق, ليعيش ابد الدهر في الغسق.
سرق الجبن وأشعل النيران في الغابات والشجر, لعل أمره يستتب.
سرق الجبن وهرب الفضة والذهب.
سرق الجبن واحرق سور حديقة العنب.
سرق الجبن ودمر البلد.
فهو لص عبر السنيين والحقب.

Red wine and Emotions


Red wine symbolic of blood.
White canvas symbolic of roses  and roses for love and love for acceptance and acceptance for tolerance.
Human altitude above the ground is a hang on and a hangover.
Red wine flavors with sugar are reconciled to make the wonders of ferments.
Beautiful girls are your kind of wine to drink to get drunk and be merry. Some you just take a look at them... window shopping...no strings attached.
A melody sounds in your heart to see beauty and grow closer in space.
Red wine fights several battles of the body and raises good attitudes.
Paradise is never on fire... the blissful feelings are abound and Red wine is the ingredient and solicitor of hidden emotions.
Red wine is the hidden love kit for Arabia where hypocrites will drink it in hiding and where no light can reach.
Red wine warms up the heart of the sorrowful, the delighted, the hopeful and all sorts of emotions.

Angels and rain

In white clothes they came down and  blessings rained on earth.
It was a spectrum of angelic parading in the garden of Eden where there are many verities of trees that bore fruits of all times.
That was confirmation of heaven's glory. And on their heads were golden crowns of shekinah hanging above their heads.
 On their necks were golden linings glittering like lightning during rain or warning for eminent rainfall.
Lightning flashed from the sky and striking the surface of the earth. Nothing compared to the sun and the moon that are often eclipsed on either dualities.  

The grief of martyrs on the memorable date of fifteenth of October 1978, was the kind of altruism of sadness common among the broken hearted.
It has been for the rebels when two anecdotes couldn't reconcile dualities of the sun and the moon because both have different paths
and different destinies.

All these stories about martyrdom and angelic interventions are reasons why revolutions come and revolutions go.

نبيذ احمر بلون الدم.
قماش أبيض بلون الورد.
علو الانسان فوق سطح الارض.
نبيذ احمر بطعم السكر.
فتاة جميلة بشعرها الاشقر.
لحن حزين ومطر.
نبيذ احمر, معارك القضاء والقدر.
طريق الجنة وطريق النار.
نبيذ احمر, عشق اليماني لعشب أفيون القات الأخضر.
نبيذ احمر, طريق الحياة مع الرفيق الأحمر.

The Ship of faith and dreams

There was a hope and  there was a safety assurance from the  impending dreams.

And then  the hopes and dreams crashed.  The ship of faith and dreams was interrupted by waves of tides of sorrows.
Then the wicked waves that distributed tides accentuated and transcended.
Some of the folks concluded that hell had broken loose and some of them digging their own graves with their own hands so that when time came for their departure, there wouldn't be anyone to bother.
Others blew themselves up in terrorist suicide bombing.
The ship of faith and religious dreams deceived many fanatics into the promise of twelve virgins in the after life in heaven.
Who said that ISIS is not in the fire?
Believers that opt out into choosing the option do it yourself murder are deceived by many insecure billionaires in the oil rich Arabian countries of the middle east.
Paradise is lost by choosing the option of settling problems using violence. Give hope by doing things through faith in action and keep the dreams alive.

في ثيابهم البيضاء نزلوا وسقط المطر.
ومن أطيافهم الملائكي ارتوت كل المزارع والشجر.
وعلى رؤوسهم تيجان تعانق السماء وصولاً للقمر.
وفي أعناقهم سلاسل تلمع كالبرق وقت المطر.
لمع البرق فكسفت الشمس وخسف القمر, حزناً على شهداء الخامس عشر من اكتوبرعام ١٩٧٨م, شهداء الايثار.
فلقد كان للثوار حكايتان حكاية في الشمس وحكاية في القمر.
حينها تذكرت قبر أمي وموعدها مع القدر.
فسلاماً على أمي والشهداء والثوار الاحرار.

سفينة الأيمان والأحلام
كانت هناك أماني وكان هناك أمان.
فتحطمت سفينة الأيمان والأحلام.
فمكر الماكرون وتوزعت بين الممثلين الادوار.
منهم من قال الى صقر ومنهم من حفر قبره بيده واستقر.
واما الاخر ففجر نفسه وانتحر.
سفينة الأيمان والأحلام خدع دينية مغلفة بأدوات الأستعمار.
من قال أن داعش ليست في النار؟
أنه خيار المؤمنيين وخيار الأغيار والأطهار.
أنه خيار الجنة وخيار النار.

غبار أمريكي وعيون يمانبة.
حينها هبت الرباح فانكسرت المزهريه في صعدة وعدن اليمنية.
والشيخ حمود المخلافي سيحرر تعز وسيأخذ صور تذكارية.
فالحكم والولاء لهادي الكنز الخفي ذو العيون العسلية.
اما المخلوع صالح فالى الجنائية الدولية لذنوب أرتكبها ضد الأنسانية.
والحوثي سيعود الى غابته البربرية.
فليحيا الوطن ونعيش من غير سلالية أو مذهبية.

Grape leaves and the cool of the north could be defined by north wind, as it blows

Prayer Times and love times cannot be commanded by the north wind.

Lent cannot be compare to the  rule of oblivion of the northern wind.

Wilting roses are longing for the rain impatient of the north Wind.

Fertile land is in doom except for the grace of oblivion of the Wind.

Hawks reveal the art of flying when the northern wind blows under their wings

Bees and honey reveal how industrious individuals could make life, as sweet as honey.

And so is the wind that blows to the North direction, a change in season.

The angry youth march against a bad military rules like the north wind bringing a change.

Their emotions are constantly sailing against the current.

It is against the direction of gravity, as the north wind blows to the north pole.

The north wind defines the beginnings of seasons in the north pole and then defines the south wind.

The Ottawa Spotlight takes this opportunity on the occasion of the Christmas and New Year holidays, to provide you with the felicitations of the season, congratulations and applause. We pray to the Almighty Lord to bring back the holidays with joy and goodness as well as peace.

What is Eid al-Adha

At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In 2009, Eid al-Adha will begin on approximately November 27th, and will last for three days.

What does Eid al-Adha commemorate?

During the Hajj, Muslims remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs of the Prophet Abraham. The Qur'an describes Abraham as follows:

"Surely Abraham was an example, obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. He was grateful for Our bounties. We chose him and guided him unto a right path. We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous." (Qur'an 16:120-121).

One of Abraham's main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's will. When he was all prepared to do it, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. He had shown that his love for his Lord superceded all others, that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God.

Why do Muslims sacrifice an animal on this day?

During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham's trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat. This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.

Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. The act symbolizes our willingness to give up things that are of benefit to us or close to our hearts, in order to follow Allah's commands. It also symbolizes our willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need. We recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and we should open our hearts and share with others.

It is very important to understand that the sacrifice itself, as practiced by Muslims, has nothing to do with atoning for our sins or using the blood to wash ourselves from sin. This is a misunderstanding by those of previous generations: "It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an 22:37)

The symbolism is in the attitude - a willingness to make sacrifices in our lives in order to stay on the Straight Path. Each of us makes small sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us. A true Muslim, one who submits his or herself completely to the Lord, is willing to follow Allah's commands completely and obediently. It is this strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience that our Lord desires from us.

What else do Muslims do to celebrate the holiday?

On the first morning of Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world attend morning prayers at their local mosques. Prayers are followed by visits with family and friends, and the exchange of greetings and gifts. At some point, members of the family will visit a local farm or otherwise will make arrangements for the slaughter of an animal. The meat is distributed during the days of the holiday or shortly thereafter.
