A Land Called Paradise

Newborn

I came to say hello
to the lovely newborn
I'm not here to frighten you
I'm here to welcome you home

like a drop of rain
falling in the ocean
you came to this world
full of purity and devotion

Devoted to learn, live, and love
sincerely worshiping God above
Observing reality and what it's made of
innocently satisfied with less than enough

For the first time in your life
I'm watching you open your eyes
crying out loud to the world
hush little baby hear my advice

For this is your new home
Starting from tonight
you only have one chance
to live this life right

Only three things you need to know
To eternal peace they'll help you flow
three keys for decrypting the code
Hiding the art of enjoying the show

One is Purify your mind
Two is Surrender your soul
Three is listen to your body
integrating them all

Purify your mind from hatred
The soul surrenders to the creator
The body is the indicator
Showing the way to our savior

If one day you lose your track
Just focus and you'll be back
Take a deep breath and relax
You shall recover from the slack

I'm telling you this my friend
to cut it short for you
Experiences, pain and in the end
nothing is really true

In a world full of beauty
All people are depressed
for there's evil inside their hearts
Covering the truth with ugliness

Ink on a piece of paper
is what it's all about
a smile on a pretty face
is what it takes to frown

Memories of what was
dreams of what will be
imprisoning the soul inside
the cage of personality

This will all fade away
nothing but memories will stay
recalling this life as a day
time as we know it will go astray

I'm running out of words
running out of time as well
I pray for the lord to protect you
And the truth shall inside you dwell

I came to say Goodbye
to the lovely newborn
I was not here to frighten you
I was here to welcome you home

Spot the difference!

Isn't this...wrong?

Muslims: Think before you talk (part 1)

Hi my Muslim friends,

Have you heard about a guy called "Mohamed Al-Munajed"?
No?
I haven't heard of him before, I wouldn't really care about whatever he says honestly. He is supposed to be a "Sheikh" in Saudi Arabia but how many Sheikhs are there in this world? How many of them actually know what they're talking about?? only a few. Unfortunately, there are people who actually listen to every Sheikh and every word and i'm not talking about Muslim fans of blablabla sheikhs, i'm talking about the west!! Yes! Apparently, they listen to unknown sheikhs. Those sheikhs start to bluff and say stupid things, next thing you know they're on the news!

What sheikh Munajed said about Mickey Mouse!

What the NEWS said about sheikh Munajed!

What was he thinking??
I know his intention is good and he thought he's saying the right thing and ............but MICKEY MOUSE? TOM AND JERRY? dude, whatever message he was trying to deliver, it's totally pointless!!

It's true that the media keep focusing on such words of such people and making big deals out of them, and totally ignoring the good ones' speeches. And YES, they twist their words sometimes. But..again, it's funny! Those people make the catchy headlines! I can't really blame them! I'm even starting to think that maybe muslim scholars enjoy making fools out of themselves after all... as they keep making the media's job easier.

grrr...So what i want to say here is: PLEASE, I beg you Muslims to think before you talk. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the one we should learn from, and he was well known for his wisdom. He knew when to talk,what to say and how to say it. Do you really think, if the prophet was among us these days with these events and circumstances, he would care about the lawfulness of watching cartoons? that are actually Fiction!? Mickey mouse even walks on his feet, lol.


So please if you have something to say, think of its validity, think of its consequences, think of its importance, and most important of all, make it clear that it's your OWN opinion. And if you'll start talking about mickey mouse and bubblegum then it'd be better if you shut up! for God's sake :)


Think think think BEFORE you talk...



( Just to be fair, In defense, Sheikh Munajed said this ...however, the damage is done and he did mention mickey & tom and jerry as examples...?)

Woman jailed after 'killing' virtual husband

Source : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081023/ap_on_re_as/as_japan_avatar_murder

TOKYO – A 43-year-old player in a virtual game world became so angry about her sudden divorce from her online husband that she logged on with his password and killed his digital persona, police said Thursday.

The woman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his ID and password to log onto the popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy.

"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.

She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison or a fine up to $5,000.

Players in "Maple Story" create and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting monsters and other obstacles.

In virtual worlds, players often abandon their inhibitions, engaging in activity online that they would never do in the real world. For instance, sex with strangers is a common activity.

The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married to kill the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his online avatar was dead.

The woman was arrested Wednesday and taken 620 miles from her home in southern Miyazaki to be detained in Sapporo, where the man lives, the official said.

The police official said he did not know if she was married in the real world.

Bad online behavior is usually handled within the rules set up by online worlds, which can ban miscreants or take away their virtual possessions.

In recent years, virtual lives have had consequences in the real world.

When bad deeds lead to criminal charges, prosecutors have found a real-world activity to cite — as in this case, in which the woman was charged with inappropriate computer access.

In August, a woman was charged in Delaware with plotting the real-life abduction of a boyfriend she met through the virtual reality Web site "Second Life."

In Tokyo, a 16-year-old boy was charged with stealing the ID and password from a fellow player of an online game in order to swindle virtual currency worth $360,000.

Virtual games are popular in Japan, and "Second Life" has drawn a fair number of Japanese participants. They rank third by nationality among users, after Americans and Brazilians.

Hmmm...

3am Ibrahim

20 years ago i was born
and when i first knew a home
you were there

Many years have passed
and i grew up so fast
you were there

We needed help you were around
Love and care is what we found
you always cared

you were not just doing a job
you were building an unbreakable bond
you always cared

I got used to hearing your voice
I got used to seeing your face
you were there

I used to start my day with your shine
Saying "saba7 al kheir" with a smile
you were there

You, your wife and kids
are family to us and always will
you always cared

You were a great husband, a great dad
and what a hard life you had!
you always cared

3am ibrahim you always cared
3am ibrahim you were there
when i was young you were there
when i got older you were there
yesterday morning you were there..
But at night, you were not..
3am ibrahim..
yesterday you were gone.


Today i woke up
Starting a new day
you weren't there

Tomorrow in the morning
while i'm waiting for my bus
you won't be there

3am ibrahim i miss you
3am ibrahim we all miss you
we all cared

May God bless you
May God protect you
And in paradise put you there...

Amen

This is not really a poem..more of spontaneous thoughts.
Yesterday October 16th at about 4 something, 3am ibrahim, the porter of our building, passed away after fighting with sickness. I hope he is safe now. I hope he is feeling better. I hope he is with God in heaven. He is missed already..May God make his family strong...Allah yer7amo.

Muslims in Egypt

I believe that the hardest thing about writing an article or writing anything in general is how to start it, how to get into the subject and discuss the point you want with a proper introduction. Honestly, I’ve always said that I love writing but I never said I’m good at it…hehe. And I have to admit I actually SUCK AT introducing what I want to talk about. So here is the thing, I’m going to create my own style of writing (which is not approved at all by the professional standards…but…WHO CARES?)…

Subject I want to be talking about today is: Muslims in Egypt. It would be wrong to generalize, but let’s just say what the majority of Muslims in Egypt are like. From my little experience in life, my interaction with the few people I’ve met, and of course our beautiful media; I’ve reached this conclusion:

Muslims in Egypt are classified into FIVE groups.

1-Those who believe that they're better Muslims than the others(GROUP A)

2-Those who believe that they're better Muslims than the others(GROUP B)

3-Those who have the word” Muslim” in their IDs, but they actually don’t care (GROUP C)

4-Those who take advantage of being Muslims! (GROUP D)

5-GROUP E

I don’t really care about group c right now, so they won’t be involved at least in this article. Now what about group A?

GROUP A are those who chose to call themselves “Religious” or the Arabic word which is somehow starting to piss me off “Moltazem”.

Who are those people?

-Those who think that a Man with a beard is usually “moltazem”.

-Those who think that a girl must wear hijab or even niqab or else, she won’t be “moltazemah”.

-Those who usually talk about nothing Islam-related except for the previous two issues.

-Those who consider people who are not “moltazem” in their dictionary bad Muslims and spend too much effort on fighting them with either words or even cruel behaviors.

-Those who believe that the others are “leehom el dunia” and their group are “leehom al akhra”…in other words, those who seek nothing in this life but becoming “moltazem” and meeting his/her “Moltazem” soul mate and raising a “Moltazem” family. Working a little bit harder to succeed in work? No… Spending more time on learning about important issues? Politics Maybe? No… History? No…RELIGION???....No!

(It should be clear I’m only referring to those who have all those characteristics not one of them only)

I think Egyptians know who exactly I am talking about now…

What I should admit first is that, I know from the very bottom of my heart that most of those people are kind people who are unfortunately mislead. They want to do the right thing but without working hard enough to figure it out by themselves. They are emotional to the point that cancels their common sense and even spirituality!

It’s a common thing especially in our amazing government, to find a man with a beard that prays 5 times a day, fasts two days a week and does all the “apparent” acts of a Muslim and at the same time, doesn’t do his work appropriately, accepts bribes, and beats his wife.

So what kind of a Muslim is that? I’m not going to talk about what Islam is… but it’s a religion after all. Everyone knows that being “religious” is being “spiritual”…and being spiritual, regardless the religion, is being balanced, having a pure soul that does not allow doing such sins as taking unearned money or being mean to other people.

So what are they thinking exactly? I have no idea!

You sit with one of them and they treat you as if you need help. As if you need THEIR guidance!

Anyway…enough with GROUP A.

Now, GROUP D!

Those are the dirty ones!

Those are the ones that want to put themselves in GROUP A, but they are actually in GROUP C. Which is much worse because not only don’t they care about religion but they do dirty things (like being prostitutes or something) but in order to hide or avoid being recognized they make sure they APPEAR “Moltazem” Muslims. For example, a woman wearing niqab in the morning and absolutely nothing under it…at night the niqab is taken off…leaving nothing but….nothing.

Unfortunately those people exist and I don’t think words should even be wasted on them.

Now, GROUP B

The problem with this group is that they are raised in environments or went through experiences that somehow made them believe that they are better than other Muslims and that they’re the only educated people in Egypt. They somehow developed a new definition for the word “Open minded” and put themselves and only themselves under its category and everyone else under the “Narrow Minded” category. They have a certain lifestyle that does not go in harmony with the teachings of Islam…AT ALL. Most of them don’t pray and some don’t even fast in Ramadan. They might know a lot about Islam and what it’s about and have knowledge about the history of Islam and some verses from the Quran or the Hadith that they usually use in some occasions to prove a point or so but from the outside they don’t have any appearance of a Muslim as well from the inside. HOWEVER, they always say that that GROUP A are bad Muslims and that they understand nothing about Islam. They keep fighting Hijab and trying to prove that it’s not Islamic and thus should not be done…at the same time, they drink alcohols, physical contact with the other sex is okay with them and other stuff. So are THEY being good Muslims themselves? I mean, I already said what I think of GROUP A and I know they’re not good Muslims but excuse me? Is group b better than group a? I don’t think so. They are just the same, convincing themselves with some stuff that they WANT to believe and calling everyone else an idiot. GROUP B THINK they are being moderate …but they are not being ANYTHING in fact. Or maybe they are just being a pain for GROUP E.

So Who are Group E?

People who are raised in a healthy environment, those who are educated enough to recognize right from wrong, those who seek knowledge and happened to be Muslims!

They also want to be religious but not by following the definition that the society created but by the definition described in the book they actually believe in. In simple words, by knowing what Islam is, and what Muslims should be like!

They don’t think they are better than any other people, they believe we should all seek perfection and we all need guidance from GOD and not from some human being. They are trying their best to understand Islam and practice it without forcing it on others. They tend to say “Allahu A3lam” rather than resorting to the “Faty” method. (faty: when someone yefty…ex. when a non specialist claims he understands more than the specialist or when someone who didn’t read a book disagrees with its 3rd page)

Those are my favorite group, in fact, those are the only REAL Muslims in EGYPT.

Members of GROUP E suffer a lot. GROUP A considers them non-Moltazem and therefore treats them bad. GROUP B doesn’t think they exist and put them together with GROUP A, so they consider them Narrow Minded and Ignorant and therefore treat them bad and GROUP D gives them bad reputation. In a dramatic way, I can say, they don’t really know where to belong….i’m serious by the way!

So here is the thing…

Sometimes there may not be one answer to a question…things could be right for a reason and at the same time wrong for other reasons with proved facts from both sides. So what should be done in this case?

Since people in Egypt are not used to having open minded debates. And Since they like judging other people so much (maybe it makes them feel better about themselves). Therefore I say we start putting religion aside for a while because we abuse it! we don’t have to agree over everything. I’m not even going to say everyone should just try to be perfect in what he believes in before starting to judge others I’m going to say and leave the others alone anyway.

Let’s enjoy the freedom of choice that Allah gave us and let others enjoy it as well.

Anyway…the hardest thing about an article is having it started but it’s not so easy to end it as well.

So…bye!

FITNA?? (Part 2)

Hi,

Fitna is a movie that spreads hatred to towards us Muslims. That's unfair because not all of us are terrorists, not all of us are extremists...Simply, because not all of us misunderstand Islam.

My friends and i have responded to Fitna with two videos

part1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxkRTiaz46w

part2:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzCVrLLrFc

Please watch them.

I support freedom of speech and open minded discussions.

I'm against terrorists who kill in the name if Islam.
I'm against armies who kill in the name of peace!

Terrorism is not when a citizen KILLS, terrorism is when a citizen is KILLED.

Have a great day!
Peace,Salam,Shalom :)

FITNA?? (Part 1)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA97Kx0hfZ8

Geert Wilders made a movie called "Fitna" taking advantnage of the ignorance of his audience. Pressing on their emotions in order to prevent them from using their BRAINS!
Each and every verse (Aya) that he selected from the Quran was followed by verses in the same chapter (Sura) that explained it. But he preferred to use pictures of 9/11 to give them wrong interpretation. I believe objective people wont fall for this, the Quran speaks for itself...

You shouldn't be easily spoon fed by this man with wrong information. Seek the truth not what SEEMS to be like it. open your eyes, your hearts and your brains. Never use only one of them to drive your judgment.

Be Fair and use Logic!

The above Video is our response to Wilders, the same verses he used ONLY without manipulation, wrong translation, and incomplete quoting.

She Thought

She thought she had this life

She thought she understood

She thought she got it all

She got it all wrong

She thought she made her mind

She thought that she could

She thought she'd never fall

She badly hit the ground

She thought it was the time

When things are finally fair

She thought there could be more

She lost all what was there

She thought they knew she's right

She thought at least they cared

And when she lost control

Nobody was around her

She thought that you were true

She thought this time it's real

She thought she had a clue

Now, there is too much to heal

Too much to heal…

Too much to heal…

Too much to heal…

What A Wonderful World?

These are some stuff people in the west don't usually see...or even hear about.

I took these shots from the videoclip of the song "Al dameer Al arabi" = (The Arab conscience) ... which are taken mostly during the wars of Israel on Lebanon and Palestine. And that of the USA on IRAQ.

After watching the original video clip, i just became speechless. I mean, there is REAL serious misery out there.Yeah it's not news and it's well known since like forever...but why do we get so angry when we see those pics and then we start forgetting about those people gradually until they're completely erased from our memory. This could happen to us, or at least someone we know...i believe this IS happening to us already. We shouldn't really act as if nothing is going on...

This very much reminds me of this line in Cranberries' "zombie" Song :
When the Violence causes Silence, we MUST BE MISTAKEN....

I feel disturbed right now and i'm not able to sleep i can't imagine how those who actually HURT little kids can sleep and live their life normally....

"7asbona Allah wa ne3ma al Wakeel"

And they wonder why most Arabs are angry all the time!!
i myself used to feel annoyed when i see Arabs shouting and throwing words of hatred. But now i understand...now i know what they're seeing, feeling and living!

I do not hate USA or Israel ...i hate killers, heartless people...even if they're Arabs like me!


I just hope we can realize that we're all humans. We have feelings, we have lives, and we have rights....we have the right to live in peace. All of us...

The Moon Show

I'm sitting in one of my favorite places in this world, right in front of the sea, at night, with the reflection of the moonlight on the waves.

It was so quiet at first, but now the waves are getting stronger…the sound of their collision with the earth keeps getting louder.

It somehow scares me, but now I'm playing some music on my laptop to distract me from hearing them.

I'm listening to Beethoven's moonlight sonata. It's beautiful but even more beautiful with this scene.

I'm looking at the moon. It's wonderful…now I'm lying on the grass in front of the beach house, gazing at the sky…it's so cloudy and there is a refreshing breeze moving the clouds in a beautiful harmonic way that goes with the rhythm of the classical music I'm listening to. There is another layer of clouds, going in the opposite direction…they're closer and so the clouds seem bigger. Both layers are moving with the same speed and harmony towards the moon. Together with the music and the sound of the waves, it's like watching a ballet show where the clouds are the dancers, the stars are the background, and the waves are the music…all are celebrating the full moon ,the star of this show.

I'm ruining this amazing art of nature by the man made music I'm listening to but it’s the only thing linking me to reality…to this world. If I let myself to nature, I would go too deep in meditation. I would get carried away…with my body on the same grass in front of the house but my soul in another place …above the clouds, closer to the stars, embraced by the sea waves and the moonlight. It would feel so good that when I return to this reality….I would be let down…disappointed in how evil is in control, how ugliness is covering this natural beauty, and how humans waste their time on materials depriving themselves of such magical moments.

I'm watching the moon, admiring its beauty and how mysterious it is. We always see the lighted side of the moon, the side from which it appears to be cheerful, beautiful and bright. But this isn't the moon…it's just one side of it. A side that is not even lightened but only reflecting that light coming from the sun. The other side is that which we don’t know about. The dark side, the unknown…is it as happy as it seems from this side?

The show has come to its final scene. The clouds are slowly moving away from the moon. Now, it's time to have a clearer view of it, studying its beauty, trying to understand it. It's amazing how the moon is the only thing that can be seen by everybody everywhere.

All types of people, all kinds of animals, all kinds of creatures… when they look at the sky at night…they see the moon.

Thousands of years ago, the moon existed. People used to look at it and write poems about it. They saw it as a symbol of beauty just like we do now. The same moon with its same attractiveness. All those people we know from history saw the moon. The good ones as well as the bad ones. Maybe it meant something for some, nothing for others, but they still saw it.

The very first humans on earth saw the moon. Adam saw the moon, eve saw the moon. I wonder if they used to gaze at it as I'm doing right now. The pharaohs saw the moon, the Romans saw the moon. I wonder if it gave them this relaxing feeling I have right now.

Newton saw the moon, Beethoven saw the moon. I wonder if it inspired them the way it's inspiring me right now. Salah Al Deen saw the moon, Abraham Lincoln saw the moon. I wonder if it helped them strengthen their beliefs…. I wonder if it gave them hope and peace

It's astonishing how all beings since the beginning of this world saw the moon. Something that unites us all…I wonder if each gave himself the chance to examine its beauty and think about its mysterious side.

Another show has started; clouds with a different pattern are covering the moon again. I'm listening to Beethoven's moonlight sonata but being played with a guitar this time. As I was taking a deep breath, I noticed the orange hallow around the moon. It looks really nice… just like when the solo dancer on stage has a ray of light directed at her to have all the focus.

Wow… I'm feeling really good right now…I don't even know what I am typing or how I ended up typing things in the first place…. My hands are so cold now I'm starting to lose control over my fingers… I'll stop typing whatever it is I'm writing… I'll now just listen to the music and enjoy the rest of the show…good night…

Muslims and Boycotting

So, they did it again. And who said they stopped in the first place?

Drawing cartoons of the great Muhammad (peace be upon him).

And it's not only drawings… long articles of insults as well and it's not only magazines… It's online websites, lots of them!

It's really annoying, and it hurts us so much. We should do something about it. We should boycott their products until they say "sorry". We should curse their countries until they apologize. We should make them pay for what they caused from pain and anger in our world. Yeah!!! That's it!!! That's the right thing to do!!

But …wait a minute. Why am I having a feeling that IF this even happened, we would feel that we got "OUR" dignity back? Why does it seem like a psychological more than a religious and responsible action? I mean… how would this solve the problem?

The apology won't help in anything!! I'm NOT waiting for an apology from those people. And I don't think that Prophet Muhammad would care about a "Sorry" from them. I think he would care more about a more effective religion based action. In stead of just being angry and concentrate all our effort on showing it!

Don't forget that he said:

“Powerful is not he who knocks the other down, indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger.”

Peace and blessings be upon him.

But should we watch them make fun of our beliefs and just do nothing?

Let me start by asking… would a couple of human beings offend the great messenger of God, Muhammad with some stupid meaningless words or drawings?

The Answer is a definite NO.

The greatness of Muhammad cannot be affected by anyone.

Who are they? Who are WE to even dare compare ourselves and our dignity with the dignity of Muhammad?

Now, Should WE feel offended?

Well, Muhammad (pbuh) means so much to me. He is the greatest man in all times. He is the best and the only example to follow. He's been through a lot just to make sure he delivered his message correctly. By their pointless words and drawings, that does not even come close to offending his greatness. But it hurts our feelings as Muslims because they're accusing him of things he did not do. They judge him according to false claims and not true facts.

They show disrespect, without even getting to know him.

So yeah it hurts our feelings and makes us angry, yet they keep doing it. I think that means that what they're doing is "offensive".

So we should do something, shouldn’t we?

First of all what is exactly the problem?

The problem is that a couple of journalists drew and/or wrote disrespectful things about the great man, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

What are the suggested solutions?

Everyone thinks that boycotting their products, is the answer; now let's analyze what happens when we boycott their products.

1) Who will be affected?

a) Business men and the owners of the companies.

b) Arab (or non Arab) employees who work at these companies.

2) How would this solve the problem?

-hmmm…. I don't know?

By doing this, we are punishing people who were not involved in this mistake. They might even be against it!! Some of them might even be Muslims or non-Muslims who respect Muhammad.

How would this make the journalists learn a lesson??

Let's say, somehow, the effect was as great as affecting the whole economy of the country. Let's say, somehow, the journalists "noticed" that we were seriously angry, and decided to apologize. Again, would that make them LEARN anything?

Would that solve the problem? I don’t think so.

Those people don't even know WHY we're angry.

Those people make fun of Jesus (pbuh), the one whom most of them consider God, or the son of God. So how would they understand how much we respect Muhammad whom we consider a prophet?

In fact, their jokes about Jesus makes a Muslim feel offended as well! Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, if we just showed them how angry we are, they would think that WE are weird. And that won't make a difference.

And I don't think that's what Muhammad would want us to do.

So what we should do is, talk to them. Explain to them WHY we feel offended. Tell them about Prophet Muhammad, his teachings and how great he is. Talk to them about his words and actions of wisdom. So that they may get to know him better and understand why we respect him and why we think it's offensive and wrong of them to do these things. (In fact, I believe most Muslims forgot why he means so much to us in the first place, we ourselves should go learn from HIM and follow HIS footsteps not ignorant people's teachings…but well… that's off topic.)

I know you may say, that wasn't their first time, but come on.

This will NEVER stop!

How would this make any sense if every time someone offends us we get angry and try to punish them until they say sorry?

And I'm telling you, it's not only them.

Our actions should be more wise, effective and of value.

Islam doesn’t need us to "punish" people for their misconceptions.

Our responsibility is to correct these misconceptions, not do things that would create more of them!

The greatness of Islam stands for itself!

I'm not boycotting any products, and I don’t hate Danish people.

I like them and I don't blame those who don’t know much about us.

Assalamu Alaikom :)

When...

when you want to speak

But there are no words

When you have the words
But they don't come out

When you speak the words
But no one hears a sound

When you scream so loud
But in the middle of the crowd

When no one can hear you
or notice you around

When you see a lot of faces
Go to all the places
But nothing seems familiar
Nowhere feels like home

When you decide to let go
When you sit alone in a corner
Get a piece of paper
And write down these thoughts…

Then...Dude, you’re sick!

R.I.P Ahmed Ashraf

Douaa (a prayer) to our friend Ahmed Ashraf (GUC, Engineering 3rd semester) who passed away in a car accident on the 8th of January 2008.

His sudden death made me learn a lot of things and see things from a different perspective...

اللهم اغفر لحيينا وميتنا وشاهدنا وغائبنا كبيرنا وصغيرنا

- اللهم من احييته منا فاحييه على الإسلام . ومن توفيته منا فتوفاه على الإيمان . اللهم ارحم ( أحمدأشرف) رحمة واسعة وتغمده برحمتك

- اللهم ارحمه فوق الارض وتحت الارض ويوم العرض عليك . اللهم قه عذابك يوم تبعث عبادك .

- اللهم انزل نورا من نورك عليه

- اللهم نور له قبره ووسع مدخله وآنس وحشته

- اللهم ارحم غربته وارحم شيبته

- اللهم اجعل قبره روضة من رياض الجنة . لا حفرة من حفر النار

- اللهم أغفر له وارحمه واعف عنه واكرم نزله

- اللهم ابدله دارا خيرا من داره . واهلا خيرا من اهله . وذرية خيرا من ذريته وزوجا خيرا من زوجه وادخله الجنة بغير حساب . برحمتك يا ارحم الراحمين
