The day I discovered my Helping Friend

I was walking down the steep, sharp and abrupt slope with my heels dug deep beneath the ground. My brothers and I were taking the route we took everyday on our way to the Masjid.

That day was different, because it was the day I discovered my Helping Friend. Walking down the slope, by the seaside with the salted air brushing my face; a gust of strong, powerful, and forceful wind pushed my palms towards the Earth beneath me. Meanwhile my brothers were way behind me, walking carelessly unaware of their fragile, delicate, and slightly physically disabled sister on the ground.

I pressed my palms against the ground attempting to raise myself up, despite knowing that I was unable to due to my weaknesses. Nevertheless, I tried again and again, however nothing happened. It was as if the wind was pushing me from behind.

When trying again I heard a lorry driving towards me. In the meantime one of my brothers realized I was on the ground. "Sadiyya!" He shrieked. My brother ran towards me, but I stopped him in fear of the lorry, seeing that the driver seemed unaware that I was on the ground.

By the time both my brothers were aware that I was on the ground, and both had salted tears streaming down their faces. The lorry was 4 seconds away, and out of desperation I whispered a Du'a. "Ya Allah, please help me for I am going to Your House, and you are the One who can give me strength." Just when the lorry turned to the slope I was, I pushed myself up for the last time. The lorry was about to touch my elbow, and before I knew it, the wind, my efforts, the Trust of Allah (SWT) and His help pushed me up on my feet.

"Alhumdulilah," I whispered. Both my brothers whispered the same, while holding my hands tightly.

I continued walking down the steep, sharp and abrupt slope with my heels dug deep beneath the ground. However, this time I was with both my brothers, with a smile brushed on my face, and with a Helping Friend.

What is a human being?

Humans are creatures that live on Earth, with different races, nations; for every color and creed. Human beings are Homo sapiens, the greatest among creations, the most grateful, merciful, beautiful, reasonable, intelligent and wise. However, they yet can be tyrannical, cynical, stubborn, arrogant, domineering and unkind. Human beings are creatures that have emotions, and that have free will in order to do whatever they please. Human beings feel pain when they are hurt. Human beings heal within time, and by that it makes it unique from machines.
Human beings are masters within themselves; it is them who decide which evil to discard, and which to compromise. Human beings are distinct and unique in their own ways.
Some human beings happen to be arrogant and think that they are powerful, when they cannot even create a cell without equipment. They cannot control a storm, the universe, or Mother Nature. Human beings are helpless creatures; they are dependant creatures, for they cannot survive without oxygen. They cannot live without drinking water for days. At the same time human beings cannot drink seawater, for it is salty. Therefore they need it to rain in order to form rivers. Human enjoy this life, and get themselves busy when they fail to realize that this wont be theirs forever, that they would one day soon go away. They fail to realize that every soul tastes death.
Human beings are just like any other creatures, but smarter. They live, die, and perish. The Human being is a creation of God

Pictures that I think represent humanity

 have a couple of pictures in mind, but they all link to one thing: human rights.

The law

I personaly believe, that the law represents humanity. It makes us unique from from animals. Us humans have a system, laws, boundries- we have limits.

We need to be balanced every way in order to be succesful. We must have a balanced diet in order to be healthy. If we eat too much of anything, it would harm us in many ways. I believe that humans rights makes the society balanced, and that in all represents humanity.

We have rights, and rights make the society balanced. The Earth and universe is somewhat balanced too. One such quality of the universe is balance, the nature is created in a way that it always seek out a balanced state, both the innter and outer worlds of the living and non-livings things. The widely held big bang theory says that the universe is working toward a state of balance or harmonic state. The same law of seeking a balance is absorbed in the world in general.

We observe the same law in non-living things, for example the change of weather is cause due to nature's attempt to balance out. We see the same law observed by the plants, they absorb the light and nutrients from the environment through photosynthesis, osmosis and other similar processes in a way to balance out. Similarly animals obey this law too. For example animal migration from one area to another or different regions of higher survival level and nutrients are ways of balancing to the changes in their environment.

However, not all humans do necessarily observe or obey the law, as humans are governed by feelings, desires, thoughts and intellect. So what would be the outcome of not obeying this law of balance? Denying the law of balance will always disturb the peace and harmony of individuals and the world in general. Just like the change of weather from good to bad, sunny to rainy, both the individual and social level of peace and harmony will be disturbed. This is seen in both individual, social and even global level. 

The amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere has the ideal ratio to balance the harmful and brung effects of oxygen.

Another crucial balance for human life is the ozone level in the atmosphere. If it were greater than its current value, the surface temperatures would be too low. If it were less, surface temperatures would be too high and there would be too much ultraviolet radiation at the surface.

Anoter point of balance I want to raise is that if the surface gravity were stronger than its current value, the atmosphere would retain too much ammonia and methane gasses, which would mean the end of life. If it were weaker, the plant's atmosphere would lose too much water, and life on Earth would be impossible.

There are tons of examples on how the world is balance, that I don't have the time to list all of them.

In conclusion, my point is that the Earth is balanced, and we are creatures from this Earth, and what makes us fair and balanced are human rights, and that as a whole represents humanity.
