A trip to Borumchora and Shangu river

The ripe tomatoes

The unforgettable colour of peas

I reached at the land of virtuous people who yearn for a smile and nice response from the visitors.The people of the vale came with whatever they had  just to express their sincerity and hospitality.The half ripe tomatoes,the greenish yellow bananas and the long green field of purple peas…the exotic aura of freshness.The island ,near the Shangu River where we reached via boat ,is astounding due to its lush greenery,the struggling farmers and the natural resources.He rendered us the peace of mind in these hidden areas of the world.From the river,only the trees of island are visible but what lies behind the curtain of greenery,this is our aim to know.He blessed us so much that the words end and praise doesn’t.

Delicious Jujubas

 

“And the stars and trees prostrate”.( Sura Ar Rahman 55:6)

The endless fields

The trail of bamboos taken for trade via Shangu River

The gift from the hard working people of BorumChora

When we were coming back,poor people gathered around for farewell.I can’t see any replacement of the tears they shed,of love and humility.

The serene water

The green tomatoes

“Is the reward for good [anything] but good?” (Sura Ar Rahman 55:60)

All dignity and honor belongs to Him,Al Musawwar, The Shaper of Beauty. All thanks to Him ,Dhul Jalali wal Ikram,The Lord of Majesty and Bounty, Who made my eyes able to see His creation ,made my heart tremble with the feeling of people’s love for people,gave my hands the sense of serenity of river.

All praise to The Holy Siraaj (Peace be upon Him), The Lamp who kindled at the dark ages and we got the way to enlightenment ,The way of guidance……….

The Journey of Thoughts Part 12

The sand beneath the feet disappeared when the water waves came forth.Then the  ground was felt once again when there was back flow.The sun with its blazing heat ,enlivens the horizon where the sea and sky seems to meet.Cox’s bazar has this place where one remembered that nothing comes for permanence.If everything seems harsh,goodness also comes later.This is the message one gets after seeing the play between sand and water.There are many secrets of His creation which are hidden but eyes are needed to look for.Anyone may say that the message can be the other way round but if it were then why the  sand disappears first and then fills up the same place later?? When there is no one around to understand ,only AL MUHAYMIN ,The Guardian helps with His infinite power of which we can’t imagine!

“And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draws the night as a veil o`er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!” ( Sura Al Ra’ad, Ayat # 3)

The revival of hope

It’s sometimes wonderful to go through the change in moods and shaking moments.More exploration…..renewal of faith and recognition of blessings.The euphony which comes from distant places is still there.There is a change of language but the message is same.The ecstasy persists in the soul wherever it goes.It seems that there is no border where there is obstacle for inner pacification.

The share of sky has changed but this one is unique in its own way with the soft clouds and long coconut trees giving shade when one stands on ground.The deep roots, mixed with pure soil, attract the eyes and bryophytes show the long time affiliation with the walls .This is the profundity of nature and the expedition begins with hope.

After a long time, I came to Bangladesh….the land of bliss with the mercy of Allah The Supreme.

The Concealed

The last sparrow was seen flying far from vision but it was sure that it has tried its best to be at level at least despite the harsh blow of weather in the gloomy dusk.The mirror shows the reflection of what we send forth and it signifies the virtue and evil.

One says that he does not want anything.It is possible that he wants but waits for exploration and if the yearning is fulfilled,the glow is evident in his eyes.Sometimes the words can’t speak but the expression shows the actual desire.That is the way of ones who hesitate and the ones whose situation was better before and now the calamity comes up and the ones who never compromise on self dignity…

These one are to be sought and to be helped in a way that their soft heart doesn’t get hurt and the love among the people of this world prevails with taking care of each other.This is the message of THE CREATOR  and

The Holy Prophet PBUH reminded:

” A believer is like a brick for another believer, the one supporting the other.” (Muslim 6258)

 

The obscure water

The layer of earth on which she stood,

That seems moved and shook her with a blow.

She got the glimpse of what lies ahead,The floret.

To move on with hope and to die with endurance.

The actuality exists with the hope of being

and the voyage embarked with zeal.

Who is she????

The daffodil who wants to bloom…

The rain has drizzled the little bud,

and the storm has tried to snatch its origin..the roots.

The rainwater is beheld

but the water is obscure which flows from within.

The Journey of Thoughts Part 11

Tears…when shed,the change begins.So valuable that change is seen in the eyes of the people around.This is true when the value is valued.The matter which happens often is taken as casual.The nature shows response,the frozen heart softens and the thoughts are reflected back from around when the longing is from the core and the call is from grieved heart.The key of nature is under the order Kun (Be) and Fayakuun (and it is ).

The yearning is for goodness and tears are shed in front of Him, As Salam ,The source of peace.

The Shaper of beauty , Al Musawwar grants shape to the unshaped statue,crops the exaggerated useless margins  of  a person and which results in refined good person…….all after shedding of some salty water….some drops which He values.

The Awla ,Most worthy ,Peace Be Upon Him informed about Divine promise:

“There are seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the day when there will be no shade but His: a just ruler; a young man who grows up worshiping Allah; a man whose heart is attached to the mosque; two people who love one another for the sake of Allah, meeting and parting on that basis; a man who is called (to commit sin) by a woman of high status and great beauty and he says, ‘I fear Allah’; a man who gives in charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand is doing; and a man who remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes flow with tears.”  (Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

Has the quest begun??

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while,so that we can see LIFE with a clearer view again.  ALEX TAN

 

The Journey of Thoughts Part 10

It’s night and the sky is sparkling with prominent stars and the moon is on way as it is always.There is silence and in intervals the distant sound of vehicles is heard,which are on way to industries.Sometimes the sad melody makes the overall situation melancholic.

The clouds still roam forward and geometrical shapes we see.They play hide and seek with the moon and how can this beautiful play not catch the attention of eyes??

The sadness comes and happiness also comes.With this belief,the nature is designed to help us out.There is an unforgettable tree whose leaves are ever green so far ,whose shade gives calmness and under which if one sleeps, what a sleep it is!

Let’s look for the blessings until next with His permission indeed.!
