What is love?

She takes his hands to walk him..

- I feel as if I am in a garden

- Come here

-That is kidnapping .. haa


- What is love?

- Love is a fantacy.

- What is love?

- Love is torture.

- What is love?

- Love is killing.

- And what is love?

- Love is loyalty.. kindness .. completion
love is the joy for all senses!

مش عايزين لبن النهاردة

سمعتو اخر نكتة: الإخوان شايفين اني وزمايلي ف الجامعة متبرجين وبنحض علي الفسق والفجور!!!!! االله يمسيه بالخير ماي اكس- كان مهووس بالهجرة لأمريكا، وطول الوقت ماكانش بيبطل حكاوي علي البلد هناك والفرق مابينها وبينا، طبعا الصدمة الحضارية كرهته ف البلد، وفيه غير محمد كتير، كله عايز يهاجر، وانا طبعا لازم أرد لبلدي الجميل!! لكن الحقيقة بعد اللي بشوفه من أهل بلدي نفسهم بدأت أحس انه فعلا كلهم عندهم حق، إحنا ضد النجاح، وبنحرق كل السفن اللي ممكن توصلنا!! أنا هحكيلكوا الحكاية.. صلو بينا عالنبي .. أنا اتخرجت من الجامعة من سنتين ومن ساعتها وانا بدرس فنفس الجامعة (جامعة الأزهر)، والترم ده رحت أدرس لأول مرة ف بنين جامعة الأزهر فرع الدراسة. طبعا ف الأول كنت لازم اتزف ف الداخلة والخارجة، ومع الوقت

they just stepped back a little

وباقيت حريصة جدا علي المشروع البريطاني ف الجامعة وانه ينجح ويحقق الهدف المطلوب

منه اسمحولي ف السطور الجاية دي أوضح المركز وأهدافه وسبب نشأته:


English Training Center was established by the British Council in Egypt with the cooperation of Al Azhar university. The center was established to help top students in Al Azhar university to graduate from the university mastering the language.

The students get the opportunity to have enough space in the class, high standard curricula, taught in the British Council in Egypt- Face to Face series, and more over well qualified native highly professional instructors.

I am now working in the center with other five of my English department colleagues and we are all collaborating to get our aim achieved. What actually happened few days ago is that our Islam brotherhood (friends) dont like our work! and they think we are brainwashing the students, corrupting them and leading them astray!!!

Mr Ali Laban, thinks we are the devil and instead of thanking us helping the students learn and open their eyes up to the world, he accuses us, and says that we have bad manners, and we teach our students the art of dancing and probagate drinking and dating!!What is the hell are you thinking MR.!!!!!!

I've always been a top student in my university, and ever since I started teaching in my university I never ceased offering my help and support to all my students. This project is not only solving the problem of second language courses in the university, but it also educates the students to be better researchers, opens their eyes to new horizons, and helps them see beyond the boundaries that people like you have established right in their ways!!!

I have nothing to lose, I am still gonna do the same job, teach the same classes, and get paid the same salary, but I will never see my students missing such an opportunity to please a group of ignorant savages who have nothing to do but accuse the elite of the country as brain washers!!

Finally I have one question for those who bite their nails of fear for our students from what they call the British invasion, we have three british professionals among us in the campus, why doesnt the british Embassy worry they might be influenced by us and be Ikhwanis like Mr. Laban!!


اتفرجوا عالمهزلة والنبي!!

نفسي أفهم هنبطل سذاجة امتي!! يا ريت لو فعلا شايفين انكم مسلمين واخوان علي حق، ماتفوتوش الفرصة دي علي اخواتكم، فوقوا م السكرة اللي انتو فيها!!

الغرب عمره ماكان عدو اللا بسبب فزعكوا وجهلكم اللي بيخليكم تتصرفو غلط! فوقوا بدل ماييجي اللي يفوقكو وساعتها بقة ماتبقوش تعيطوا زي النسوان!!

عموما لو عليا، ف انا مش خسرانة حاجة، الناس كلها جوة الجامعة وبراها عارفين وشايفين كويس قوي مين اللي مبتذل وبيحرض عالفسق والفجور من اللي عاوز يعلم ويفيد بجد، والطلبة صحيح مراهقين زي مابتقول بس صدقني واعيين كفاية انهم يفرقو مابين المصلحين، والمفسدين يا سيد لبن!!!

Donia 1




Dunia ..
A girl..


seeking freedom..


dances when she needs..


Young, and vibrant..


exhotic and endless..


she whispered to the mirror..


'Don't tell!!'


Marraige '
A cage..


she swings inside,
she fails
she hides..


finally decides..


and breaks free!!

The 'IR' Of Today&The 'VIR' Of Tomorrow




Like a new born baby i decided to be

And she has agreed as well with me,
A baby that does not talk but listens and absorbs, and when he reaches a certain point of capability, 3 or 4 years later, he starts his own way of conversing.seemingly, We, the youth, have nothing to say or to give. May be we need some time to reach a kind of maturity through which we will be able to form our own personalities and idiologies; and thus we will be able to converse, give or even teach. To reach that stage, We, me and my dearest friend Yasmine, found a union which is more concerned with development in a time of decedence for the Arab and Islamic nation. Our aim behind that is to change the world. It might seem naive but not if we believe that every single man has the absolute power to change the world as long as he has the power to change himself into a better human being; A better human being personally, socially and above all spiritually.

As thought produces words, words produce actions and actions defines a personality, we both started to modulate our way of thinking into a more positive one. Instead of feeling tortured having to spend long hours on our desks studying, we started to think of how it will be beneficial for each of us and how far our families will be proud of us when we are both extra ordinary students.As work begun is mostly done, we started to put every good idea that comes to our mind into action, we determined to act with no delay and put plans that would be soon applied. Also we started to take care of ourselves, especially our health , we became more picky regarding what we eat, we abandoned some unhealthy habits like staying uo till a very late hour in the night and we bacame more dynamic most of the time. Soon after, we felt healthier, fitter & quite confident.

When our everyday life style changed, our attitude towards peaple definately changed as well. We became wiser especially when dealing with some troublesome peaple. We learned to be more helpful & pliant. We never hesitatd to bear a hand for those who are inneed. But as we are no angels, we sometimes fail to be pliant especially with our mothers who have been always that type of pushy moms. But we soon regret & apologize and as they always forgive and support us, we never give up. Yasmine is very good actually with her friends, she is always the first to pull for and she never wearies.Eventually we both became well-liked and popular; She, in her place and me, within mine. And that always cheers & nerves us to be the best we can.

The Islamic glorious and bygone civilization was a consequent to Islam And so will our success, that is what we both agreed on from the very beginning of our friendship and formation of our union.We decided to try hard hard to be obediant to Allah and that had its immediate effects on our lives. We started to feel more contented and grateful to Allah. We never objected when things seemed to frustrate us but on the contrary we always thank Allah for all his gifts and blessings. We also became more aware of Allah's existance and immeasureable mercy. His kindness & bless were always there to push us forward and raise us to a far higher state.

With hope, love and forgiveness life is more sustainable. And with will, patience and perservance man is more successful. And we are both determined to be great. Firstly through our goal which is To Be On Top. Secondly through our faith which is always inside our hearts to make us stronger.And finally through our motto which is 'today we are the 'IR', tomorrow we are the 'VIR' ; that which is to be decoded as 'Today we are the ear but tomorrow we will be the voice of the Islamic Renaissance'.

Questions not yet to be answered!!





To tell the truth, i am struggling quite a long time ago, since i came to life, to be precise.

I thought, or was tought to seek comfort at the feet of those who have been in life quite long before i came, they all seemed to have that air of knowing, of understanding, or simply seeing, quite obviously, the truth!! Unfortunately, the older i become, the more are the questions, and the more ignorant they silently stand.
I reach a point where i even fail to realize who is the pathetic among ourselves!! Is it the other, the deceivingly believing ones, or just me, the younger, naive pursuer of truth!!

This issue, also i can not settle down. The answer seems to belong to the hidden secrets-holding holder, at the secret heart of everywhere we can not reach, right behind the secred truth, also remains unrevealed.
If you are waiting, i am waiting too, the only thing we know is that we are waiting, but for what? I know, only know that i am waiting for the box to be uncovered, and so i can go inside, reach through and see the truth.

When?! Where?! and How?! Are the bitterest words language have offered. Since i learnt them my lips have never failed to utter, and my mind, ever since, never stoped to suffer.

Will you deny me now?! after i revealed myself to you baby!! Don't you worry, i can still be a good friend, a good woman, a good sister, a good wife and a good mom. No answers doesnt mean no me!! i am still here, even if things are ceasing to stand clear, my love will never stop floading through, reaching you. I am a very good knowledge pretender, i will let you well believe that i know when i tell you i do. This is i guarantee, and no more.


My Lord, one day, i know for sure You will answer all my questions, i know you have some other to ask me, but i will not even be able to answer them, i simply try to stick to what you made me think. Even if i dont know nothing, i would never hesitate to say that i truely know that You know all of it. Yet right in my mind, you're just raising the questions so i would wonder and ask for the answers. Isn't it so!!

Following our dreams




"Why dont people's hearts tell them to follow their dreams?"

The boy asked the Alechemist

"Because that what makes people suffer the most, and people do not like to suffer"

The Alchemist answered.

But i disagree; following our dreams do not make us suffer Paulo!! it's absolutely the opposite, it makes us better. The broblem is, we do not always see, how far better we can truly be.

lonely in the crowds





You Dont Always look people in the eye, although this is the right way and the shortest so you can best know them.. Sometimes people evade this just because they are not strong enough to do it, may be they fear revealing something hidden within. For me.. It seems too long. the road through destiny. Lets hold ourselves, break the glass, extend our hands, and Look into each other's eyes.. let it be more than the place, that we all share!!
