Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2023
I dreamt I had a grave accident and was admitted in a hospital,
I was in ICU,
The doctors were trying their best to save me.
As I was breathing my last,
I saw Gibrail with an Angel
He took my soul and gave it to the Angel to take me to Heaven.
We travelled through an incredibly lighted tunnel,
Its aureole was amazing.
We soon reached the Gates of Heaven,
Thousands of Palestinians stood patiently at the gates,
Wounded, mutilated bloodied,
But calm and at peace,
Eagerly awaiting their turns to enter the Gates.
My Angel had a special pass and we entered from a side gate,
Inside was chaos,
Thousands of Palestinians waited patiently to be allocated their place,
Amazing, here not a scratch could be seen on them,
They were attired in the most beautiful clothes,
Drinking from the fountain of  Hauze Kawthar,
Eating fruits from the Garden of Eden,
Peace, serenity and happiness
written on their faces,
There were smiles and laughter everywhere
Flustered army of Angels scurried here and there to meet their every needs,
Plus allocate them their abode.
Suddenly the Head Angel's eyes fell on me,
Why have brought her she said,
We are very busy with the thousands of Palestinians ,
They are all martyrs,
They all must have the highest VVIP place in Janat,
Please take her back,
We don't have a place to accommodate her,
We have already requested Allah to do something to stop the flow.
And in a blink of an eye I was back at the hospital,
My heart machine beeping,
My children gave cries of joy
shouting for the doctor.

When she looked up,
To admire the stars in the night sky,
I looked at her gawking,
As the moon's magical glow,
Enhanced her beauty.
Pointing at the stars she sighed,
Hugging herself,
The beautiful night sky her muse.
Nodding I sighed and put my arm around her,
My lady love my muse.

Is short,
Death is longer,
Waiting for the world to end,
No yesterday,
No today,
No tomorrow.

Try it
It's enjoyable and gratifying,
As it stimulates the five senses,
Evoking emotions.
The nerve endings in the fingers send messages to the mouth to salivate,
Releasing digestive juices,
And stimulate digestion.
Food is meant to be eaten slowly and eating with hands help with that.
You feel the texture of food with your hands ,
Or can remove unwanted pieces of bone,
Before it reaches your tongue.
As you eat with hands your food directly touches your tongue,
Whilst with a spoon it first touches metal.
Your hands are thoroughly washed by yourself before you seat to eat,
Whilst spoons, knives and forks comes from the kitchen,
Washed by others,
And lying in the drawers.
And it takes many trees to be chopped,
To make chopsticks,
Why use weapons when you have hands to do the job.
Most satisfying and rewarding.

Enjoy your food with hands
Salmabanu Hatim Nov 2023
My eyes filled with silent tears,
My soul, a squeezed lemon,
As the tide of humanity ebbs.
Still I hold onto hope,
For at any given time and place,
The tide can turn,
And bring a better, serene future.

as the mighty birds
swoop down on the small insects
Allahu Akber.

When you give,
Be grateful to the taker,
For he has done you a favour,
Cause your rewards will be greater than your good deed.
