Faith, Hope & Inspiration. – By Noor Rahim Almighty God sent into this mortal world the “Divine Message” of Goodness, Righteousness and Peace through Faith, Hope and Inspiration; and most importantly the Belief in “One God”. This “Message” was conveyed to the peoples through his designated/chosen “Messengers” at various successive periods of time on Mother Earth; to remind us mortals in the concept of “One Supreme God”. It so happens that the “Messages” and “Messengers of God” emanated from one focal point in History, in the Middle East; very soon to spread throughout the Universe and enveloping mankind regardless of caste, colour or creed. The Messages brought down from the Heavens by these “Messengers of the Almighty” were supreme, pristine and full of guidance for the Faithfull. It showed the “Way of Life” in its goodness; and in supplication to the Good Lord by His devotees. The “Message” of Faith, ...

The Four “Modern” Horsemen of the Apocalypse. – By Noor Rahim The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are among the most dramatic images, as illustrated in the Bible. Described by the apostle John in Revelation 6:1-8, the four horsemen are graphic symbols for the destruction that will come to the earth during the end times (- from Google Search): The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are dramatic and symbolic warnings of the death and destruction to occur at the end of days.

The World in Turmoil – Ecologically; Spiritually; Economically; and Politically.– By Noor R. Rahim The World is no more a Garden of Eden. One would have thought that with the advancement of knowledge and Technology it would be “Heaven on Earth”; but alas! It appears that we are far from it. Perhaps to those who have amassed wealth more than they will ever be able to spend themselves, in a life-time, it may be so. But to the ordinary folk it is a “day to day” scenario in life; with no time to see if it is Heaven or Earth. Ecologically; spiritually; economically and politically we seem to be edging closer and closer to the dreaded “Point of No Return” – that is if it is not too late already! The solution to these impending disasters does not lie directly on the masses, but on the shoulders of Governments (elected ...

THE CLOSENESS OF RESPECT, COURTESY & DISCIPLINE – Noor Rahim Respect is a word that was inculcated into our lives Encompassing mutual regards for each others’ esteem & feelings And as the age old saying goes You have to give respect to get respect in all aspects It starts off from within the family circles Extending to the elders, friends and acquaintances Be it through greetings, compliments, appreciation or regards Your act should always be one of human feelings for others Courtesy is synonymous with respect for others Conveying a sense of feeling and sincere understandings It’s an act of being civil, polite and graciousness Remembering that saying of Courtesy begets Courtesy in our lives But times have really changed from the good old ages Respect for others seem to be on the wane and so it appears And so has courtesy the twin of respect that ...

One of the Days; in a Retiree’s Daily Routine.- By Noor Rahim It is the onset of a cold day in Autumn And the sun has still not arisen My wake-up call by Mother Nature comes later But as regimented I wake up in the dark; no matter I drag my feet to the washroom looking glum but solemn Peering through the blind it looks dark, dreary and forlorn But thank God the washroom has an electric heater That makes the situation bearable and better After the normal routine and motions I’m ready for my cup of tea and toasted muffin Plans for the day are part of the daily reckoner Which shopping Mall do we go to is the poser? We set off to the Mall in our small sedan To soon confront the traffic; the rush; and the aggression There’s so much indiscipline and ...

THE AGE OF INNOCENCE & THENCE-FORTH. – By Noor Rahim As is my routine, in retired life; I sit relaxed on the porch and watch the clouds roll by. For want of something better to do, my mind as usual, wanders into the “reminiscing mode”. Reversing right back into the past; and thence-forth back again into the “comparison mode”, to that of the present day experiences. I feel lucky and very fortunate indeed that I was born 8 and a half decades ago; when the “Age of Innocence” was a fact and ruled the roost. In comparison I find and lament, that this is hardly so in the present days. I now wonder in amazement if the “Age of Innocence” is almost fictional or just one of those periods that has phased away with time. The only exception I believe is in the “eyes of the Law” where it is ...
