Whoever reads history, despair would never enter his heart...


“من يقرأ التاريخ لا يدخل اليأس إلى قلبه أبداً وسوف يرى الدنيا أياماً يداولها الله بين الناس. الأغنياء يصبحون فقراء, والفقراء ينقلبون أغنياء, وضعفاء الأمس أقوياء اليوم, وحكام الأمس مشردوا اليوم,والقضاه متهمون, والغالبون مغلبون والفلك دوار والحياة لا تقف.”  ― مصطفى محمود 

“Whoever reads history, despair would never enter his heart!
He will see that the world is days which God rotates between people: The rich become poor. The poor turn rich. The weak of yesteryear are strong today. Rulers of yesterday are vagabonds today. Judges are accused. Conquerors are defeated.
Orbits circulate and life never stops. Events never stop running.
People exchange chairs.
No sadness goes on and no joy lasts.”
–Dr. Mostafa Mahmoud
