Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The World is three days:

As for yesterday,
it has vanished,
along with all that was in it.

As for tomorrow,
you may never see it.

As for today,
it is yours,
so work in it.

... Hassan al-Basri

Dear a nobody,

I would rather be beyond labels and to embrace and live my life in the holistic manner in which this perfected Deen has for us. That is how we will be judged :)
