Our Purpose

"Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day there are signs for men who understand. Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain!..." [Qur'an 3:190-191]
...the sharing of pictures & reflections can serve as a means of drawing nearer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
"Verily, Allah does not change a people's condition until they change what is in their inner selves." [Qur'an 13:11]
...and also as a means to change our mind [our picture frame]'s perceptions.

...Scroll down nice and slowly, each picture has its own story! :)

We were once asked: "what part of a tree do you think is the most beautiful?" Some said the leaves, some the trunk, others the branches and others, the tree as a whole.

No one said the roots...

It is surprising how people struggle to be the leaves and branches in their da'wa & worship of Allah swt, why don't they struggle to be the roots, the parts of the tree that do the real work?

May Allah swt guide us to that which pleases Him. (Ameen)

From Surah Ibrahim, chapter 14 of the Holy Qur'an:

24. Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.

25. It brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.

26. And the parable of an evil Word is that of an evil tree: It is torn up by the root from the surface of the earth: it has no stability.

27. Allah will establish in strength those who believe, with the word that stands firm, in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave, to stray, those who do wrong: Allah doeth what He willeth.
