  • My Fashion-Week Adventures

    My trek into one of the Fashion-World’s greatest events started out rather ironically. I wasn’t initially going to go to any events, because I was preoccupied with other things. But, as Allah would have it, He redirected my path (as usual) to something better. And, it was indeed better that I checked out Fashion-Week. Day… Continue reading

  • My Perils of being a Muslim in America

    Being Muslim in America is exactly what it is, being Muslim in America. You always get the weird, threatening stares from people on trains, buses, platforms, sidewalks, for either having a beard, Hijab/Jilbab, Niqab, or any other physical indicator, that tells people that you’re Muslim, or “looks Muslim”. Even though I’ve lived in the U.S.… Continue reading

  • My thoughts on 9/11

    Even the mere utterance of the household phrase “9/11” still sends chills down people’s spines, invoking fear, fueling the fire of anger, and encouraging hate to resonate in people’s hearts. But, why does September 11th still grasps the attention of Americans, whom many were not even alive to even witness the shocking events that took… Continue reading

  • Game-Of-Thobes: Saudi Arabia’s Religio-Hypocritial Love-Hate Relationship with at-Tarab/Music

    All of this, yet ironically KSA allows Music-Festivals, Music-Concerts, etc. Make that Goofy-Shit make Sense.

  • Game-Of-Thobes: Saudiween & Shirkmas

    Allah states: “Arabs are closest to Disbelief&Hypocrisy.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.9, V.97) All of this, yet ironically KSA allows Music-Festivals, Music-Concerts, Halloween, Christmas, etc. Make that Goofy-Shit make Sense. https://fb.watch/hJxRCU9aV0/ View this post on Instagram Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Whomever imitates any People then they’re amongst them.”.(Abū-Dāwud) 1444, A.H./2022, C.E.: the Streets of Riyadh, KSA… Continue reading

  • It seems like Decency is gone completely from the World

    Allah says, “Oppression is worse than Killing/Murder.”.(Noble Qur’an: Chpt.2, V.191) Muhammad (Peace be upon him) quotes Allah, as He says, “Oh, My Property (Creation, Servants, etc.)!!! Verily, I have made oppression prohibited, (even) upon Myself, as well as between you. So, do not oppress one another.”.(an-Nawawi) I was reading, in the paper, about these 3… Continue reading

  • My Declaration of Dissonance:

    We hold these lies to be self-evident. All Men are not viewed equal. Our Creator has endowed us all with inaliable rights. But, some have been allowed to deprive Others of their rights. Life…Liberty…the pursuit of Happiness for some, and yet Death…Oppression…Imposition of Misery for those yearning to simply be humanized by their fellow Man.… Continue reading

  • My Thoughts on my own Failures

    Maybe it’s me: With each passing of years, my eyes begin to shed tears. I cry, because of some of my most tragic & painful fears. I’m in fear of dying without wife, nor child. The thought of it just makes me very tense. I’d much rather have an easier trial, that’s quite mild. Alas,… Continue reading

  • Integrity in the Storm of Deception

    Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).” (ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī) There exists Countless-People whom if/when they convey something & it’s rejected: it’s not necessarily Truth which is being rejected, but rather the Conveyor of Truth who’s being rejected. I’ve personally witnessed this. I’ve stated,… Continue reading

  • Apparently, I’m just “Too-Religious”

    Author’s Note: There’s gonna be some things written here that maybe a lil’ out of line to some, or too explicit. But, it’s just that this is based upon thoughts & feelings that I harbored in my mind & heart in a particular moment in time, and it must be expressed this way, in order… Continue reading
