No matter how down we feel
And how much the sadness is real
We are willing to go the way
Even if the goal seems far away
Our aim is clear
And there is nothing to fear
Allah (swt) will help us surely
If we obeyed Him truly
There is nothing so hard
We just have to cross the yard
So let us do what we should
Or try to do what we could
Why not? What else shall we do?
Come on let us drive through and through
Are you happy with what we are?
I’m asking Muslims near and far
Don’t you think it is enough?
Talking about silly stuff
Isn’t it time to wake?
And give more than we take?
I’d leave the answers for you
And wait to see what we’ll do…….

Opportunity for High School Seniors in the Maryland Legislative Page Program
Below is a letter from Delegate Saqib Ali with information regarding the Maryland Legislative Page Program:
SAQIB ALI
DEMOCRAT, DELEGATE
DISTRICT 39
“Fresh Ideas, Bold Vision, Strong Leadership”
Dear Friend,
I am writing to inform you of an excellent educational and political opportunity for Maryland high school seniors.
Every year, students from across Maryland come to Annapolis in the winter/spring to participate for two weeks in the Maryland Legislative Page Program. In their roles as Legislative Pages, these students receive an insider’s look and get to actively participate in Maryland’s legislative process.
Participants in the Legislative Page Program are selected from a large pool of applicants to spend two weeks throughout the legislative session (January - April) interacting with members of Maryland’s General Assembly and performing various tasks to support the work of members and staff. Legislative Pages get inside access to Senators and Delegates. Pages do everything from assisting visitors to the State Capital to delivering messages to members on the floor of the Senate and House. Best of all, Montgomery County Public School system gives them excused absences from their school to do this work!
I encourage all high school seniors to apply for this excellent program. Many Senators and Delegates were themselves once legislative pages. If you are a high school senior or know one who is interested in the program, please learn more about and apply for this program by clicking here.
Applications are due by October 24th and final selections will be announced by October 31.
Good luck to all who apply! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding the Legislative Page Program or any other matters of importance to you.
Warmest Regards,
Delegate Saqib Ali
http://www.saqibali.org
(301) 685-3409
P.S.: High school seniors who attend private schools or schools outside Montgomery County should contact their guidance counselors for information about the Legislative Page Program.

“All of us begin to rethink what is good about ourselves - put the past where it belongs - and get on with the possibilities of the present!”
–Howard Rainer, TAOS PUEBLO-CREEK
There is a saying, you move toward and become that which you think about. So the question for today is, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking bad things about yourself or are you thinking good things about yourself? Are you thinking about a worldly life? Are you thinking good things about people or are you gossiping about people? Are you focusing on past things or are you living in the future? We need to bring our thoughts into the NOW, right here.
Ya Allah, let me experience living in the present moment.
