  It must have been more exciting to spread letters out on dry cellulose rather than writing on papyrus… We are talking about an excitement in China of 2000 years ago at a time when writing was getting prepared to meet the paper.

Two Sides of the Scale

I saw from your answers to the question, "Where is the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in your lives," that my question activated your hearts before your minds.

Sealed Time

Coaches presenting people with urgent prescriptions on how to live say, "We have neither the time nor opportunity to practice the trial and error method." Modern life opens living space only for individuals who endure the fast wheel of time and rise above standards.

To Be An Growing Link In a Shrinking World

Years ago, we would have asked ourselves a different question, wouldn't we? How much time do you spend in front of the television? That "magic box" invaded our entire life, taking over the pleasant conversations of the family gathering, taking us on adventures, taking us to countries we had never been, introducing us to people we never met.
