• To all those who can not show themselves to us,

If you ask me to be direct, I just can say:

Where on earth are you?

I don't know what exactly to say, but just can wish you to spend a good holiday with your family, and be successfull in the new year.

A great notice to those who may not remmember us anymore in the new year, I must say in a 6 months plan we're going to develope our activities and the society works, and become one of the biggest young societies.

What I'm going to talk about, that is my own idea, is if ever you come to help us , or you may not, we will climb up the tree of popularity and success, and if you want to give us the honor to be with you along the way, start right now! Think of being in a society, that you also have to show your self and your work and ability to others.

I am waiting to see you soon

پیدایش نوروز

سخن در پرده میگویم چو گل از غنچه بیرون آی     

           که بیش از پنج روزی نیست حکم میر نوروزی

در تقویم ایران باستان هر 365 روز برابر یک سال می گفتند،و با گذشت هر 120 سال دو روز به مدت یک ماه جلوتر می آمد ، پس از ورود اسلام به ایران تقویم هجری-قمری که هر 355 روز یک سال کامل محسوب می شد ،رایج شد.اما بعد از 11 فروردین سال 1304 (شمسی) در زمان "ملکشاه سلجوقی" تعدادی از دانشمندان آن عصر تقویمی را تنظیم کردند که تقویم جلالی ملکشاهی نام گرفت . در این تقویم  نوروز از ابتدای فصل بهار آغاز میشد و از آن زمان بود که این مراسم به جشن ملی ایرانیان تبدیل شد.نوروز در نخستین روز از نخستین ماه سال خورشیدی آغاز می شد،همانگاه که خورشید وارد برج (حمل) می شود و شب و روز برابر می گردد و طبیعت دوره سرما را در پس می گذارد و موسمی معتدل شروع و زمین از خواب زمستانی بیدار می شود.

سرزمین چهار فصل:
با مشخص شدن سالها - به این ترتیب که در هر سال بعد از 365 روز و چند ساعت دوباره روزی از یکسال جدید می امد که آن را نوروز می نامیدند- ،تقسیم بندی دوم یعنی تقسیم فصلها شروع شد که بر مبنای تغییر طبیعت و حالت زمین بود و بدون شک شناخت فصلها در جایی امکان پذیر بود که مردم آن سرزمین چهارفصل را به معنای واقعی تجربه کرده باشند و برای اینکه فصلها به صورت دقیق تر مشخص شوند،برجها و ماه ها به کمک نجوم و صور فلکی به وجود آمد.

 نوروز در اسطوره ها:
در اغلب جوامع ابتدایی مفهوم سال نو برابر است با جواز استفاده از محصول  و فراورده های خوردنی ،یعنی رسیدن به مقطعی از زمان که به موجب آن بدست آوردن و برداشتن مواد خوراکی برای دوره ای دیگر میسر و شدنی است.در میان جوامع ابتدایی تنظیم کننده زمان و اعلام کننده آنها و آیین ها و مراسم آن ،توسط کاهنان و موبدان انجام می گرفت. در مصر و تمدن های بین النهرین و ایران نیز چنین بوده و نوروز و مهرگان و …هم به همین صورت تنظیم شده اند.از آنجا که این جشن بیش از اندازه برای ایرانیان ارزش و اعتبار داشت ،مطابق معمول برای رسمیت بخشیدن  و گرامی داشتن  آن ،بسیاری از رویدادهای جالب توجه تاریخی و داستانی را به آن نسبت داده اند.و گاه  این انتسابها آنقدر زیاد می شد که حتی از دست مایه های غیر فارسی هم استفاده شده است.

I dreamed I had an

Interview with God

"So you would like to interview me?" god asked.

"If you have the time. "I said.

God smiled "my time is eternity".

"What questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you most about humankind?"

god answered "that they get bored with childhood ,they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money, and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."

God's hand took mine and we were silent for awhile. and then I asked "as a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

"To learn they can not make anyone love them .all they can do is let themselves be loved."

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive by practicing  forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most but is one who needs the least"

"To learn that there are people who love them dearly,but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two person can look at the same thing and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another,

but they must also forgive themselves."

"thank you for your time" I said humbly.

"Is there anything else you'd like your children know?"

god smiled and said

"Just know that I am here."

"always"

To compare religions, compare their ideals and realities

by John Esposito
20 April 2007

Washington, D.C. - As someone initially trained as a Christian theologian and subsequently as a scholar of Islam, Paul E. Jarrett’s guest commentary, “Differences between Christianity, Islam are important,” on Feb. 11 caught my eye.

I was pleased to see that the education director of a Christian church was addressing relations between Christianity and Islam, the two largest of the world’s religions that engage each other globally. Islam is the second-largest of the world’s religions (1.3 billion) and the second- and third-largest religion in Europe and America, respectively. Muslims are our fellow citizens and neighbors in many parts of the United States, including Florida.

In our multi-religious, multicultural and pluralistic society, it is important to heed President George W. Bush’s caution, and that of many mainstream religious leaders, that it is critical to distinguish between the teachings of the religion of Islam and the rhetoric and actions of Muslim extremists, their misuse of religion to legitimate acts of terror.

مقایسه ی ادیان، مقایسه ی ایده آل ها و واقعیات آن ها

اثر جان اسپوزیتو

بیستم آوریل سال 2007

واشنگتون – همان طوری که کسی در ابتدا به عنوان یک دانشمند مسیحی الهیات، تربیت شده و سپس به عنوان یک دانشمند اسلام شناس؛ تفسیر میهمان پل ئی.جارت، در روز یازدهم فوریه، با عنوان "تفاوت های بین مسیحیت و اسلام مهم هستند،" مرا مجذوب خود کرد.

خوشحال بودم از اینکه می دیدم مدیر آموزشی یک کلیسای مسیحی، روابط بین مسیحیت و اسلام، دو تا از بزرگترین ادیان دنیا که در سراسر جهان با هم به جنگ برخاسته اند، را خاطر نشان می کرد.اسلام دومین دین بزرگ دنیاست (3/1میلیارد نفر) ، دومین دین بزرگ در اروپا و سومین دین بزرگ در آمریکا. مسلمانان در بخش های زیادی از ایالات متحده، از جمله فلوریدا، با ما همشهری و همسایه هستند.

در جامعه ی ما که کثرت گراست و دارای چندین دین و چند فرهنگ است، مهم است که به احتیاط های جورج بوش، و نیز تعداد زیادی از رهبران دینی دقت کنیم، زیرا بسیار حیاتی ست که تفاوت بین آموزه ها و معانی دین اسلام و اقدامات مسلمانان تندرو سواستفاده ی آن ها از دین، برای مشروع جلوه دادن کارهای تروریستی، را درک کنیم...

"Sleep is an excellent way of listening to an opera."

James Stephens (1882-1950)

"The nice thing about being a celebrity is that if you bore people they think it's their fault."

Henry Kissinger (1923-)

"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."

Will Durant

"I have often regretted my speech, never my silence."

 Xenocrates (396-314 B.C.)

"It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion."

 Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough."

Mario Andretti

"I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means."

 Clarence Darrow, Scopes trial, 1925.

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

 Henry Ford (1863-1947)

"I'll sleep when I'm dead."

Warren Zevon (1947-2003)

"There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread."

 Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

"When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

 Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Snow

" I LOVE SNOW "

Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of

 snowflakes that fall from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.

 Coffee

Coffee is a widely consumed stimulant beverage prepared from roasted seeds, commonly called beans, of the coffee plant. Coffee was first consumed in the 9th century, when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia. From there, it spread to Egypt and Yemen, and by the 15th century had reached Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa. From the Muslim world, coffee spread to Italy, then to the rest of Europe and the Americas. Today, coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide.

Coffee berries, which contain the coffee bean, are produced by several species of small evergreen bush of the genus Coffea. The two most commonly grown species are Coffea canephora (also known as Coffea robusta) and Coffea arabica. These are cultivated in Latin America, southeast Asia, and Africa. Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. The seeds are then roasted, undergoing several physical and chemical changes. They are roasted to various degrees, depending on the desired flavor. They are then ground and brewed to create coffee. Coffee can be prepared and presented by a variety of methods.

Coffee has played an important role in many societies throughout modern history. In Africa and Yemen, it was used in religious ceremonies. As a result, the Ethiopian Church banned its consumption until the reign of Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia. It was banned in Ottoman Turkey in the 17th century for political reasons, and was associated with rebellious political activities in Europe. Coffee is an important export commodity: in 2004, coffee was the top agricultural export for 12 countries; and in 2005, it was the world's seventh largest legal agricultural export by value. Some controversy is associated with coffee cultivation and its impact on the environment. Many studies have examined the relationship between coffee consumption and certain medical conditions; whether the effects of coffee are positive or negative is still disputed.
