Do not say: “My name is this or that.”
Your true name lives beyond the reach of words.
Do not say: “I was born on such a date.”
Your birth did not begin in the womb,
but in the light of eternity.
Your ID card may dissolve in water,
but your soul will not cease to shine
when you cross the bridges
you built with love.
Do not seek to know yourself
in the gaze of others,
nor in the cold frames of the system.
Your identity is not in numbers,
but in gentleness—
Not in form,
but in intent.
When you look at a child
who owes you nothing,
and yet you embrace them—that is you.
When you forgive someone,
though you had the power to destroy—that is you.
When you refuse to act unjustly,
even when it would profit you—that is you.
O human being,
You are not a sum of data.
You are the whisper of wisdom
from a time when souls spoke without words.
So when IDDEEA issues your document,
it is not just a legal proof—
It is a testimony
that your presence is worth recording.
But remember this:
The greatest one
is not the name the world knows—
but the one who leaves peace behind.
So guard your identity, not like a badge,
but like an inner flame.
And whenever you feel lost,
pause.
Breathe.
And remember:
You are woven from the same light
with which God scripts the names of all humankind.
