Memory….My Storage Cell

On observing an object
It reflects into my brain
Forming a vivid image
Which gradually then sets
Preserved for the future usage

Upon hearing it’s name
My mind immediately connects
With the image that had set
In my mind’s storage cell
Regarding the mentioned object

This is a blessing of my Lord, the Great
Having provided me with the memory which retains
All l will to see and then to reflect
Or else, create new images as per my interests
As l wander between the past and the présent states

The beauty of this memory cell is that
With its frequent usage
Better it continues to get
Instead of becoming less
As it gradually grows and expands

Whereas on the other hand
Upon letting it remain in stillness
Succumbs down and lays as a dead
Till the moment when
Occurs an extraordinary situation
Reviving it into a motion again

  • True self-development
    True self-development by Asgar Jafferali Dhanji While physical growth is easy to see, your mind, character, and professional capability evolve in ways that are much harder to gauge. If you look back five years, you are likely not the same person you were then. You are constantly evolving, but reaching the next level of your personal development requires conscious, deliberate action.
  • Adl
    Adl by Sheikh Fattah The concept of justice (‘Adl) occupies a foundational position in Islamic theology and ethics, serving as a lens through which the relationship between the Creator and creation is understood. In his insightful essay, “Adl – Justice and Decree,” originally published in the spring 1984 issue of the journal Nuradeen, Sheikh Fattah provides a concise yet profound exploration of this multi-faceted principle. Drawing extensively from the Holy Quran and the narrative traditions (ahadith) of the Ahlul Bayt – specifically Imam Ali and Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq—the author dismantles the complexities surrounding divine decree, free will, individual morality, and structural social justice. The text functions not merely as an academic exposition of theological doctrine, but as an ethical manifesto that bridges metaphysical truths with practical human responsibility.
  • Eternal Life
    Eternal Life by Ayatullah Murtadha Mutahhari Ayatullah Murtadha Mutahhari’s Eternal Life is a concise but profound exploration of one of Islam’s central beliefs: that human life does not end with death. Drawing on the Qur’an, hadith, Islamic philosophy, and rational argument, Motahhari presents the Hereafter not as a distant abstraction but as the destination that gives meaning to every thought, choice, and action in this world. The book is especially valuable for readers seeking a clear, reasoned introduction to Islamic teachings on death, the soul, barzakh, resurrection, and eternal life.
