Flying Angel on the Globe:


Studying Map is an interesting activity. Lines drawn on the map do not only define the countries and border but also personify them by infusing some meaningful character which is often invisible to us. I found a flying angel (Gabriel) on our globe, and how true indeed: Gabriel it is.



In Islam, Gabriel was the medium through whom God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, and that he sent a message to most prophets, if not all, revealing their obligations. He is called the chief of the four favored angels and the spirit of truth. Islam originated in the heart of Saudi Arabia’s desert and spread all along the way surrounding it and today it commands life of around one fourth of earth’s population. A beautiful religion that have been showing way to billions of people for centuries has now come under a dark shadow as a result of war, sectarian clashes and terrorism, but nevertheless it will survive and will continue to guide people as long as sun shines.
Look at the angel and you will Egypt and Iran as its hand (or wings), who indeed worked as its wing while helping angel to take big leap in civilization with their unique and enlightened history.
Turkey proudly occupies the position of head. It’s the position it deserves, as it continues to be looked upon by other Arab states who desires to embark on the road of modern civilization in conformity with religion by following the “Turkey Model”.
Feet are Yemen and Oman, and angel is staggered on its feet, because of widespread anarchies facing by one of its feet – Yemen.  Yemen is grappled with problem of extremism, and soon it may find itself on receiving end of ‘GWOT’ (Global War on Terrorism). Hopefully Yemen will come out of it, as it know without it Angel cannot walk properly J .
United Arab Emirates (UAE) is at the flying end of angel’s cloak. Extra clothes represent luxury and when it comes to luxury no one can compete UAE. So it keeps angels extravagantly clothedJ.
Kuwait occupies a position where usually men keep their moneybag: Pocket of angel ;). This small country commands huge wealth. Saudi Arabia is nearly hundred times of the this tiny country but in terms of oil it only commands 6th times total oil reserve of Kuwait. This indicates that how much oil wealth concentrates in this tiny country.
Stomach and legs of angels are made of Saudi Arabia. Money of the Saudi Arabia is what fills the hunger of Angel and also gives it ability to stand on its leg. Without Saudi Arabia we cannot think of Middle East, neither do we can imagine Angel. Donations from Saudi Arabia pour into whole world to help the goodwill of angel fly all over world, though sometimes it is diverted or actually channeled for other purposes.
Iraq and Jordan occupies the heart position, as its ancient Mesopotamian civilization pumped the life-blood not only in whole Middle East while in whole world. Hope Iraq will resume on this position again as angel will be very weak without it, and there would be dire consequences for whole world if it dies.
Syria is the neck of angel and twisting it will jolt whole Middle East. We hope the power mongrel countries will leave Syria to its own conditions and let it sort its own problem by itself.
Each and every part of angel is essential for angel to continue to be in existence. If all parts work properly and cohesively, a healthy angel will fly jubilantly over the world and whole world will be showered with its magic and earth will be a best place on planet where only and only happiness exists J
