The Little Flowers

By: Shifnas Bint Thamiem
Being in the middle of a newly bloomed garden with cool breeze early in the morning nourishes our feelings. Spending time with little kids, who look like buds waiting to blossom, gives us the same kind of refreshment. These little flowers of our ummah can pour joy and happiness into our lives. Noisy chit chats, innocent giggles, messy acts and pure smiles bring tranquility to our hearts.
Subhan Allah, kids are an amaanat from Allah . They are but a trust from Allah
and we should handle them with extra care. We, as guardians, will be questioned about how we exercised our responsibilities while taking care of our amaanat.

This plant, located in Ashikaga Flower Park in Japan, is certainly not the largest in the world, but it still comes in at an impressive 1,990 square meters (or half an acre) and dates back to around 1870 (the largest, at about 4,000 square meters, is the wisteria vine in Sierra Madre, California). Although wisterias can look like trees, they’re actually vines. Because its vines have the potential to get very heavy, this plant’s entire structure is held up on steel supports, allowing visitors to walk below its canopy and bask in the pink and purple light cast by its beautiful hanging blossoms.

Be like the flower that gives its fragrance to the hand that crushes it.
Be like the flower that gives its fragrance to the hand that crushes it.
Sé como la flor que da su fragancia a la mano que lo aplasta.
Wees als een bloem die haar geur geeft aan de hand die haar verplettert.
Soyez comme la fleur qui donne son parfum à la main qui l’écrase.
Seien Sie wie die Blume, die ihren Duft an die Hand, die es gibt zermalmt.
Xiàng huā, gěi chū tā de xiāngwèi dào fěnsuì tā de shǒu.
Var som blomman som ger sin doft till den hand som krossar det.
Bud’te kak tsvetok , kotoryy dayet svoy aromat na ruku , chto sokrushayet yego.
Eziyor yandan onun koku veren çiçek gibi ol.
Siate come il fiore che dà il profumo alla mano che schiaccia.
Jadilah seperti bunga yang memberikan aroma untuk tangan yang menghancurkan itu.
TULIP FIELDS, NETHERLANDS
Tulips have long been one of the hallmarks of the Netherlands, and one of the main exports of the country. Every March, the fields just outside the Dutch capital Amsterdam turn from sandy patches into carpets of lime green sprouts. By the time the season is in full swing, the area is swathed in red, pink, purple, orange, and yellow blooms. The view really that reminds of The Wizard of Oz.
