Identifying myself !


I came to this life like any child all his interests to have a friend to play with , or to spend a good time with family , until i went to public school .
There i used to be asked mainly one question "what's your name ?" , at the beginning i was hesitating in saying it as i didn't say my name except few times before school, few weeks after i was saying my name without hesitation .
The same thing happened with knowing my faith and nationality , when i started to have religion and geography classes .
now i'm thinking is this really the truth ?!
am i really "Ahmad" / "The most praised" ?
am i really Egyptian ? in other words ; did i made something make me deserve the title of "Egyptian" ?
am i really a Muslim / submitter to the absolute God , peaceful with everyone ?
I found out that names and titles isn't the issue , but actions are what define me as a human , not the names or the looks .
The few moments when i helped people , and people thanked me i knew that i'm "Ahmad" that day !
The few moments i spent between the hands of God asking him help and guidance through the good times , and the hard one , i knew that i'm a Muslim that moment !
The few moments i spent to help the poor in my neighborhood , i knew that i am an "Egyptian" that day !
But as i said they were only few moments , which need to be extended to days and years to make me feel alive !
Because being alive is to be identified , otherwise i'm definitely dead !!!
