15^th April 1912

To My Dear Friend.

 Anwar Masoet.

I am on the Titanic travelling first class that is, and rather fascinated by these wealthy aristocrats dining and wining whilst I am smoking a Cuban Cigar from my time travel journey to the 1960’s to meet Che Geuvara and Fidel Castro before I time travelled here onboard the Titanic on the 15^th April 1912.

Nobody in this damn forsaken room is aware that this boat is about to hit an Iceberg but I am not here to warn the privileged few who are first class passengers I am off to third class to save three best friends the Rabbi the orthodox priest and the pious Arab letting them know what is going down in Palestine and Hitler’s Germany.

I was forced to give each a copy of the Balfour declaration that I got from a friend in 1999.

I suddenly received a message from you on my time traveler with an encoded message in binary because I have no mobile signal here on the Titanic I am unable to use whatsapp. Luckily I am travelling first class and everything is free, I am getting you a box of cigars with an apple in it to keep it fresh by the time I get to you it will be more than 100 years old.

I was rather puzzled by your encoded message from whatsapp and soon realised you did not know what to make of it because the paper was more than 100 years old, luckily I still had a book full of blank pages to write you this letter . I am putting this letter in whiskey bottle with a cork and hope it survives World War II and the Germans, British, Japanese and Americans do not mistake it for a bottle of whiskey.

I hope the weather is warm in South Africa because it is damn cold on the Titanic and freezing, I will stay a bit longer for my Iceberg photo opportunity with my new Samsung S10.

Keep well and do not forget to reply I will be in Cape of Good Hope in the year 1652 to meet Jan Van Riebeeck and Harry the Strandloper for the recognition of the Khoisan Nation.

I hereby end this daring note of comedy without error with your message from the future.

Enclosed the decoded message and hope the message is readable.

The Sacred Ink of the Feather Pen

 In the name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful.

The Sacred Ink of the Feather Pen.

A romance of love, peace and understanding for Humanity “If thy whilst find Wisdom within It”

I am all but a feather who’s ink flows in honour of the sacred word bestowed upon mankind, my quill not dry and cannot judge and my masters the Author ,Muslim scholar, Rabbi, Priest and all of humanity bewildered as their hands could not move nor does my ink write their wishes ,by what is written in the Glorious Quran my sacred ink cannot conquer these words as they filled me up with holy ink and still my thirst is not quenched it will not flow so they wrote what they saw by the following verses of The Glorious Quran and the Almighty guided their hearts and they remembered the verses as it is written overwhelmed were they who listened to their hearts the truth was revealed unto the seekers of true knowledge.

And they wrote what they saw guided by the righteous hand their soul found purpose within their hearts peace and minds surrendered to the truth nor could they distort their testimony by what they have read by what was revealed to mankind an unchanged version of the truth and so it was written for all the seekers of true knowledge centuries ago.

“Oh Sea of Galilee you bear witness when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in harmony in the sacred and Holy Land do not leave us for I bear witness to the truth that you overflowed with freshwater on barren coasts in times of Prophets who came to see, I recorded history and you bear witness that I am the SACRED INK OF THE FEATHER PEN today I bring you glad tidings and the evidence to the ones who knows not the essence of an unsettled heart the seeker of true knowledge”

  Al-Quran Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 135

۞ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah (GOD) even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah (GOD) is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah (GOD) is certainly All-Aware of what you do.

Al-Quran Surah 3. Al-i'Imran, Ayah 3

 نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَالْإِنْجِيلَ

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.

Al-Quran Surah 2. Al-Baqara, Ayah 87

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ ۖ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰ أَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ

Indeed, we gave Moses the Book and sent after him successive messengers. And we gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Why is it that every time a messenger comes to you ˹Israelites˺ with something you do not like, you become arrogant, rejecting some and killing others?

The Feather Pen

We come from the wings of birds that flew across conquered lands and reminds us of the wrath and kindness of the earth,they stay in flight high above the sky until the earth is at peace again we wrote the laws and scriptures throughout history but mankind betrayed us and dishonored us and we write no more.

Power of the Human Mind

"A weapon of a great warrior has the ability to bend light it's strike is so fatal because it is invisible to the naked eye your enemy will not know it's position nor will it know the speed of its strike it is the jewel, that rests on the human heart"

Refined Reflections

 Refined Reflections

"Seek to comprehend the depths of a man's perspective, rather than merely acknowledging it with words while silently harboring doubts. For just as the celestial ballet of stars unfolds in the vast expanse of space and time, so too must our understanding of one another navigate the complexities of human experience. The earth, in its quiet devotion, offers shade to all creatures at their appointed hour, reminding us that true wisdom lies in embracing the intricate harmony of existence."
