Some people when they fall in love they say "I need you, I can't live without you" the hearts have become attached in a very wrong way, this is not love. ..Sometimes as we acquire things, they own us, they enter our hearts- this is the complete opposite of freedom and reliance upon Allah (swt)

I was watching an episode of Andrew Marr's "History of the World", episode title Age of Plunder earlier on BBC 1 and I was once again hit by what was unsaid rather than was said.
History is something that is constantly being erased, sometimes in destructive ways and other times to make way for the future. I am not talking about the destruction of Islamic sites in Saudi Arabia through redevelopment, or in Somalia or even in Timbuktu (where the conquest of the city also known as the place of 300 saints was immediately followed by the conquerors going at its historical buildings with pickaxe and shovel while the locals could only look on earlier this year), but something much more subtle.
Just feel like sticking my oar in
Love,

My complaints so far today:
I woke up a little before 3am.
I don’t know why or how as I’d not got to sleep until well past midnight.
I stubbed my toe on the latest Dyson that we brought a week earlier, in the hallway, that someone had left out and not put back where it should have been in the under stair cupboard.
I opened the kitchen door and realised my slippers were not there
I had to walk across the freezing cold kitchen floor in my bare feet.
I almost burned my hand as I was trying to drink coffee and make sandwiches for the kids lunches.
Hard to believe that I stubbed the same toe on the leg of the dining table, but it really did happen.

Be a host to humanity.
What do you think that means?
I will edit this later to add stuff from a talk I heard, but please do share your ideas

Not everybody is on the same level of piety & none of us can claim to be holier than the other.
Whilst some are working very hard to improve their clothing & appearance others are working equally hard to improve their faith & character.
Some focus on rectifying visible weaknesses yet others have overtaken them through rectifying hidden weaknesses.
The winners are those who can work hard to improve both simultaneously.
Some improve very quickly initially & lose focus later on whilst others improve slowly & quietly, overtaking those who continue to think they are astray.
Happy October, Month of the Hexaflexagon!
'What in the world is a Hexaflexagon?' is what your probably going to ask me. I've never actually heard of this word until the end of my Maths lesson on Thursday. I thought it was so amazing and decided to share it will all you very cool people (:
Once you've watched the clips, tell me what you think of it. Totally awesome, right?
