Stay Away From Dunya Before It Eats You

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The word dunya is an Arabic word derived from another Arabic word called dana which means low or inferior. It shows how low the value of  dunya  is. While the word akhira means end or termination in which there will be nothing after it. Frankly saying, when there is something bigger and eternity why should we choose the temporary one? It is like slowly and silently killing yourself. Last year was the most too-much-playing year for me. What I did was fooling around and doing whatever I wanted by my own selfish favour. It seemed that 20 years life was not enough to mature me. Regret moment is enough and I am now 21 years, old enough I think to be a man.

I need to spare much time for each trip and be more fit. I was ready for that but the preparations were all in my head and imagination.

Ratchet costs 2 months and a half of my scholarship. To get a new Ratchet, it would be more than that in the midst of many crisis currently happening in Egy
