The Catastrophes that confront Humanity and the World.- By Noor Rahim As the human race becomes wiser; with the advancement of technology and related “know-how”, one would expect to live a life sans the catastrophes that we are faced with currently; on such a regular and devastating basis. The result of such disasters are inconceivable; and appear to be threatening humanity and Mother Earth with such deadly impact and so regularly, as the days go by. Not a day goes by without one hearing of such disasters occurring in some part of the World today – Be it environment, diseases, spiritual or moral decay. The question that one must ask or seek answers to is – “Are we individually or collectively responsible or subscribing to these debacles/mayhem that we face today?” In addition we should ask ourselves – “What are the causes and what makes these ravaging debacles happen; and ...

“Joy” – A two-sided coin????? – By Noor Rahim The word “Joy” is such a wonderful 3 lettered word The meaning is that of feeling great pleasure and happiness That’s what it means to the righteous and God-fearing ones But the word is like a coin, which is double sided   The goodness on one side and the other depicting the bad One side depicts the goodness that one expects in life’s experiences And the other, which reeks of sheer villainy and evilness All this is dependent on how and by who, the coin is flipped   On one hand “joy” is the fulfilment of ones’ longing, as so desired And the immeasurable pleasure it brings; that happiness elates It also brings a great sense of satisfaction that in a person glows All rolled in one is that “joy” brings to one, in many folds   The flip side of ...

As Long as there is Breath – by Noor R. Rahim     It is indeed an old age saying – “As long as there is breath – life goes on”; and as time goes by we do go through various phases in our lives, some short lived and yet others long lived. However, how you manage the various phases of life is dependent on each individual and his/her will to live a healthy and safe life. Survival is what it is. “Too much of anything is good for nothing” is the oft used adage that “pops-up” in my mind; and I am sure you would have seen such over indulgences – which in turn leads to various health issues and even financial debacles and its’ subsequent effects on humans, in your life time. Though Sir Isaac Newton’s theory on the “Laws of Motion” is for the study of Physics; ...

Whither Respect/Courtesy ????? – By Noor Rahim In this modern day; with the ever-growing and advancement of Technology, life has been made so comfortable for an easy-going life style. Along with it has come the detrimental decadence of the spiritual life style of the human beings; wherein we have seen the moral and spiritual decay that confronts the human race. Yes! Life sure has brought such ease to lull one into a way that the human brain does not really be taxed in the thought process; but in a life style of “material wants” that one does not take any notice of respect or courtesy towards each other – perhaps only to worship the Almighty “Currency Note” with the adage – “Each for Him/Herself & God for us all”. So Dear Reader, please take a moment from your very busy programs and give this all important situation that confronts us ...
