10th Grade:-
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called ‘best friend’. I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before. I handed them to her.
She said ‘thanks’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
11th grade:-
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn’t want to be alone, So I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go home.
She looked at me, said ‘thanks’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek..I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Senior year:-
One fine day she walked to my locker. “My date is sick” she said, ”hes not gonna go” well, I didn’t have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as ‘best friends’.
So we did. That night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes.
Then she said- “I had the best time, thanks!” and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Graduation:-
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine-but she didn’t notice me like that, and I knew it.
Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her.
Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said- ‘you’re my best friend, thanks’ and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Marriage:-
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn’t see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said ‘you came !’.
She said ‘thanks’ and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don’t want to be just friends, I love her but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why.
Death:-
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my ‘best friend’.
At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years.
This is what it read:
‘I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn’t notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don’t want to be just friends,
I love him but I’m just too shy, and I don’t know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me !
………’I wish I did too…’
I thought to my self, and I cried.

024.035► اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ
كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ
كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ
زَيْتُونَةٍ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ
وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ نُورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ
مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ
شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Allah is the light of the heavens and the Earth. The
metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp
inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed
tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but
giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon light. Allah
guides to His Light whoever He wills and Allah makes metaphors for
mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur’an, An-Noor -24:35)
This verse refers to something that emits light. This light-emitting
entity is compared to a star. The fact that the fuel used by this
star-like, light-emitting body belongs to neither East nor West may be
an indication that the body has no physical dimensions. If one assumes
that the fuel source is in an energy dimension, then it is very likely
that the fuel in the verse refers to electrical energy, and the
light-emitting body to a light bulb.
A bulb is a body which shines
like a star and emits light, inside glass, and that is in full
conformity with the description in the verse. Unlike oil lamps and gas
lamps, light bulbs do not burn oil, and, in line with the description
supplied in the verse, combustion without fire takes place inside it. As
a result of the vibration among the atoms of the heat-resistant
tungsten wire, the temperature inside the bulb rises to over 2,000
degrees Celsius (3,630oF). This temperature, which would melt other
metals, is so high that it gives rise to a powerful, visible light.
Despite that heat, however, no combustion takes place, again in line
with the verse, since the bulb contains no oxygen. In addition, the
filament inside the bulb closely resembles a bright star.
If we bear
in mind the fact that electricity is one of the greatest discoveries in
the history of the world, and that it lights just about the entire
world by means of bulbs, then we may well assume that the verse may be
pointing to this major discovery. (Allah knows best.)
Another
explanation could be that the light is emitted as a result of the
nuclear reaction in stars. Stars are bright, hot, rotating masses of gas
which emit large quantities of light and heat as a result of nuclear
reactions. Most newly-forming large stars begin to collapse under the
weight of their own gravitational pull. That means that their centres
are hotter and denser. When the matter in the centre of the star is
sufficiently heated-when it reaches at least 10 million degrees Celsius
(18 million degrees Fahrenheit)-nuclear reactions begin.56 What happens
inside a star is that with enormous energy (fusion), hydrogen turns into
helium. Nuclear fusion takes the particles that make up hydrogen and
sticks them together to make helium (1 helium atom is made from 4
hydrogen atoms). In order to make the protons and neutrons in the helium
stick together, the atom gives off tremendous energy. The energy
released in the process is radiated from the surface of the star as
light and heat. When the hydrogen is consumed, the star then begins to
burn with helium, in exactly the same way, and heavier elements are
formed. These reactions continue until the mass of the star has been
consumed.
However, since oxygen is not used in these reactions
inside stars, the result is not ordinary combustion, such as that takes
place when burning a piece of wood. The combustion seen as giant flames
in stars does not actually derive from fire. Indeed, burning of just
this kind is described in the verse. If one also thinks that the verse
refers to a star, its fuel and combustion without fire, then one can
also think that it is referring to the emission of light and mode of
combustion in stars.
