Wait and Hope


I so much agree that life is about waiting and being hopeful.

“All human wisdom is summed up in two words- wait and hope”
Here

Wait=patience and Hope=Optimism

Have you ever seen a child who started walking within a day? Obviously NO! it takes Days for a child to have a successful walk without falling down. Did Pakistan come into existence within a day? Obviously NO, struggling people had to wait and hope that they’ll be successful one day. Did Islam spread within a day?? NO!! it took years and Prophets had to wait and hope that one day they’ll be successful. Was Quran revealed in a day?? NO!! It took years!! Did our earth come to existence within a day? Obviously NO!! It took centuries and it does take time for every good thing to happen.
You just have to WAIT with PATIENCE and have to be HOPEFUL with OPTIMISTISM.

Guys!! Philosophy and poetry might not mean to say what it is apparently saying. It is mostly‘IRONIC’. It always has depth and you have to use your intellect to benefit from it.
Even Qur’an talks about wait and hope. See! You wait only when you are patient and you hope only when you are optimistic.
 "Peace unto you for that ye persevered in patience! “ Ar-ra’d Verse#24

Every faith encourages wait and hope. You can search for it in Qur’an , in Bible, in Vedas…you’ll see that wait and hope are encouraged in every faith and I would like to call it a ‘two-word’ summary or wisdom behind the life.

    I totally agree with your wait and hope philosophy. From your above post "Did our earth come to existence within a day? Obviously NO!! It took centuries"....
    I just want to say no it didn't took centuries according to Islamic point of view.

    According to the Holy Qur'an it took 'six days' to create heavens and the earth. (see V.32:4) and those days were not equal to our days. Allah tells this in the very next verse of the same Chapter.

    Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

~ Contemplation Over the Night Sky

Image
Like the moon borrows its light from the sun To shine bright at night in front of everyone And at times in the sky it hides, Away from everything, affecting the tides. And it is dark... But the stars in the night sky, Small and distant. Always around, aligned, pleasant. They shine on their own, Mountain to a stone. Little spark. I gaze at the night canopy, Wondering who i can be... The sun? The moon? I'd rather be the star, small and distant. But lights on its own. - via Karina Jamandri I came across this poem and loved it. Poet's analogy of a star with respect to life appeals me to a great extent. However, I am tempted to share that I have liked moon and why I have, for this I am going to share what I had written about it once, staring at it one serene night:   "Moon has scars  But its light outshines them.  Stars have light and the fanciness in the way they shine Their cuts, their fragility..  But moon outshines them.

An Ode to the Past Years

Image
I picked up my pen to write about life. Rummaging through the memories I had, of the experiences in the recent years, I couldn't decide what to write about and what to leave. To those who were kind, forgiving and there through thick and thin, I can't thank enough. God reaches us through them. Then He calls some of them back, like to my friend Nabeela. Of those who abandoned, stabbed, judged or harmed in anyway, I speak no ill and wish a fast recovery. When my fluctuating self couldn't decide, I put my pen down and gave up the idea. Here's to the years of unfaltering, perpetual and incessant journey.  Here's to another year of learning and longing. 2017.
