Here are some verses I like very much
Quran 228
How can you reject God when you were dead and He brought you to life? Then He makes you die, then He brings you to life, then to Him you return.Quran 938
O you who acknowledge, what is wrong with you when you are told "March forth in the cause of God," you become heavy on earth. Have you become content with this worldly life over the Hereafter? The enjoyment of this worldly life compared to the Hereafter is nothing.Quran 2116
We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them for entertainment.Quran 463
We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them except with truth, and for an appointed time. Those who reject turn away from what they are being warned with.Quran 5119
God will say, "This is a day when the truth will benefit the truthful." They will have gardens with rivers flowing beneath; eternally they will abide therein. God has become pleased with them and they are pleased with Him. Such is the greatest victory.Here are some other verses I like very much
5657 We have created you, if you could only acknowledge!
5658 Have you noted the semen that you produce?
5659 Did you create it, or were We the Ones who created it?
5660 We have predetermined death for you. Nothing can stop Us,
5661 From transforming your forms, and establishing you in what you do not know.
5662 You have come to know about the first creation. If only you would remember.
5663 Have you noted the crops you reap?
5664 Did you grow them, or were We the Ones who grew them?
5665 If We wished, We could turn them into hay. Then you would be left in wonderment
5666 "We are lost."
5667 "No, we are deprived!"
5668 Have you noted the water you drink?
5669 Did you send it down from the clouds, or was it We who sent it down?
5670 If We wished, We could make it salty. If only you would give thanks.
5671 Have you noted the fire you kindle?
5672 Did you initiate its tree, or was it We who initiated it?
5673 We rendered it a reminder, and a useful tool for the users.
5674 You shall glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
5675 I do swear by the positions of the stars
5676 This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
5677 It is an honorable Quran.
5678 In a protected record.
5679 None can grasp it except those pure.
5680 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
5681 Are you disregarding this hadith?
5682 You made your denial your livelihood?
5683 So when the time comes and it reaches your throat.
5684 At that moment you look around.
5685 We are closer to it than you are, but you do not see.
5686 If it is true that you do not owe any account.
5687 Then return it, if you are truthful? -
Peace bro David,
It's good to take a break sometimes. Helps to recharge your thinking/mindset. Thanks for the kind words on the membership here. Too many here tend to focus on the negative. I sincerely wish you the best in your journey, hopefully you can partake in a slice of humble pie during your break. If you have time, please share with us your goals.
Take care. May we all find peace.

Dear brothers and sisters
I have decided to focus totally on my dreams. I have to make some big changes in my life if I want to succeed. I will be gone for a long period of time. I might be gone for 1 year, 2 years or perhaps even more. I am going to miss you all, especially the long term members (those of you who have been in the forum for more than one year). I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.I thank you for your friendship and the support you gave me. I have the emails of some of you. Hopefully we can keep in touch.
I have enjoyed reading your posts and learned many things from you. Just like everyone of you I am a student of life. Every day I strive to get better than yesterday. And everyday I try to do my best to get more knowledge. I have realized that I know almost nothing when it comes to the wonders of the earth and the universe. I believe that "Learning is a never ending journey."
If I ever said anything that offended any of you, or hurted you, forgive me for my mistakes. I believe that it's human to make mistakes. And I am not a perfect, nor will I ever be. But I will try to do my best. Because that's the only way I can become the person I wanna be. Even dough I have achieved some of the things I wanted to achieve, this is just the beginning.
I want you to know that you are the most open-minded and good-hearted people I have ever talked to. "If you have a dream don't wait for some distant day to come."
http//www.phnet.fi/public/mamaa1/if_you_have_a_dream.htm
You have unknown potential inside of you. You have the power to reach unbelievable heights.
"If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."
I will continue to walk in the path of Islam, if God wills.
I hope I will see you again in the future.
Peace and Love
David.Goodbye Pal! handshake

On Behalf of free minds
I CAN'T SAY GOODBYE TO YOU
You say it would be better
If we stopped seeing each other
If you had only met me first
When you were free
'Cause now you've got commitment
I should not expect things from you
That you can't give to me
Oh, but baby, can't you seeI can't say goodbye to you
No matter how I tried
You're such a part of me
Without you, I would die
Deep, in the heart of me
I know that you and I
Were meant to be be together
I can't tell you goodbyeNeither of us planned
That we would fall in love this way
But since we did
Why should we be apart
Sometimes, some things happen
That can never be explained
Now, it's too late for me
I've already given you my heartI can't say goodbye to you
No matter how I tried
you're such a part of me
Without you, I would die
Deep, in the heart of me
I know that you and I
Were meant to be be together
I can't tell you goodbyeWho knows why we choose
When we choose the ones we love
Who knows why we do the things
We do when we're in love
I know that you're a decent man
And you try to do what's best
But how can I forget
All the feelings we have sharedI can't say goodbye to you
No matter how I tried
You're such a part of me
Without you, I would die
Deep, in the heart of me
I know that you and I
Were meant to be be together
I can't tell you goodbye(You and I were meant to be, forever)
I can't tell you goodbye........peace

salam david,
you did not tell us what you have planned to do apart from the vague "to focus totally on my dreams".
my guess (pardon me please) is you have planned for a solitude ("I will be gone for a long period of time. I might be gone for 1 year, 2 years or perhaps even more.", no matter how much demanding the word "gone" is on the imagination.
in our experience, we need such a phase in life, i.e. a break to take a look at what we were just now, to evaluate and reform ourselves as and when necessary. we couldn't agree with you more when you said "I have to make some big changes in my life if I want to succeed."
our practice must conform with the theories we hold to be the truth. both must walk hand-in-hand. and whatever we are today is the 'akhirat'/end of what our theories and routines were. if we were not happy with what we were just now, then we need to have a tweak in the theories and a change of routines before we could even dream of a change of future.
routine (darr) is the instrument of change, the one without which no alteration happens. so nothing will improve without a reform of ways (AAamila salihan). oftentimes, a break of routines (diyar) is required. otherwise we remain the person of yesterday.
therefore we are more than happy (with a tinge of jealousy though) for your brave decision. our prayers are always with you indeed, and may God guide you on the correct path, insha-Allah.
peace
mohammed nohp.s
but, we just thought that a period 1 or 2 years is too long for such a good-hearted and brave person like you. it will just be months, we hope. insha-Allah. -
Gosh I didn't expect this when I came back to the forum...it sounds like you are either going on a physical journey or as someone else mentioned, planning for solitude. Whatever following your dreams means I wish you the very best - may Allah keep you safe and guide you always. peace
@ afridi220 cute. hehe
@ Jack people on here may well focus on the negative but don't worry, people everywhere are doing that lol. I think it's actually better here! laugh

Salam...
I have changed my mind. I decided to come back to the forum. I realized that my dreams were too impractical, so I can not achieve them yet. I have to wait until the future. Because then, I will hopefully have more time and recources to achieve them. But I have not given up. I am just taking a break from idealism.
Ohh, by the way. Even dough I didn't achieve any of my dreams, I achieved one of my goals. I got a job that I love. A job that is in alignment with my values, my abilities and my interests.
I have missed this forum. And I am glad to be back.
Peace and Respect,
David. -
