HAPPY NOURUZ 1398

majid

Hi mates, last night was the point we started new year along with a celebration we call Nouruz (https://en.unesco.org/silkroad/content/nowruz-celebrating-new-year-silk-roads)
A rough translation of Nouruz prayer is:
Oh you Lord, reformer of hearts and eyes (minds),
Director of day and night
Transmuter and transformer of moods and conditions
Change ours to the best in accordance with your will

We celebrate Nouruz around a table with 7 things with starting "S' sound so called Haft(7)seen:

And I wish this for myself and you all.
Best
Majid

Happy Nouruz, Majid. Beautiful setting and traditions!

Happy Nouruz, Majid. The sentiment of the prayer is an honorable one, I wish the same for you, yours and the wider world. We could do with some sense of our common existence and a common goal of seeing our families grow healthy and happy in the world.
Thank you for posting this reminder of decency and peace.

Live long, live healthy and prosper.

Wow mates, thanks for kind word and feedback.
I hope one day we all meet each other in a world the peace and humanity rolling the helm. this is so poetic but I think this might be the goal humans are created for.
Wish you all and your families and myself a peaceful healthy wealthy life

Very beautiful! This reminds me of "Thanksgiving Day" which is supposed to be an appreciation of the good that life has provided us.

Thanks Peter.
I think humans have too many positive riots to share...

Thanks Glenn.
Nowadays there is an absurd situation going on.
In NZ some Muslim are killed by an unknown reason and reactions are interesting:
Their respectable president wears hijab showing sympathy that is worthy
But I read some feedback on Instagram from extremist Muslims that was disappointing:
Calling her a nonbeliever wearing hijab!!!!
IMO hijab is itself based on the believe that men are not trustable.... while i respect all riots to the point they do not limit other people rights.
And also politician reactions also is contradictory: they kill Muslim using mass destruction weapons without sorrow then show sorrow for 50 people...
This is a deep sorrow that we all with different faiths, lost our inner peace and riots, believes, religions and races has segregated us... while we have too many beautiful to share if our aim be convergence...
I hope once we human find the peace ...
