Rumi, "The Life and Thought of Rumi"
Knowledge has two wings. Conjecture is one wing. Conjecture alone is lacking and cuts short the flight. The one-winged bird continues to struggle, hoping to reach the nest somehow with one wing. And then wisdom shows his shining face. Delivered from conjecture, the bird now spreads both wings (and soars once again).

Bismillah Rahman Rahim As the year 2000 A.D. approached and the all the hype with it I started to wonder what will our world would look like in the year 2000 A.H. I have written several Sci-fi short stories on this theme and created several pictures. So here is my vision of the year 2000 A.H. Please put in your constructive comments about the stories and pictures.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Owner of the Day of Judgment,
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.
Show us the straight path,
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills.

A lovely and true Rumi quote :) May Allah grant us all both wings.
Ya Haqq!
Greetings Edward from the beautiful isle of Eire!
I too have a great liking for Rumi and his works.
The New Year will be International Rumi Year - wonderful.
I like your words: "I am just trying to make my little corner of the world a better place." I well understand this sentiment.
Cordially,
Richard of eTidings
