Bitter is the Fruit-Of-Truth
Pseudo sweet, not at all a pleasant treat. The vegetation of truth not at all discrete. Accepting Truth is like eating a medicated, yet, rotten, Apple…it is awful, but, good for you. As it masticates & circulates, throughout the body, it causes pain & it makes your face blue. You begin to choke, and, cough,… Continue reading

He has grown, into a person of great knowledge, wisdom, understanding, about Islam, as well as the world around him. Here’s some of the elements of… Continue reading

Let’s Love for the Right-Reason
“Boy meets Girl”…they become each other’s world. She buys him clothes, he buys her diamonds, pearls. But, is this “True-Love”, or is it just a “good-time”? Is it the “Long-Hall”, or a one-night “wine & dine”? When we use this word…L.O.V.E….what, exactly, does it really mean? Are we emotionally invested in someone, or is it… Continue reading

Shari`ah & Women’s Rights in Islam: Who’s entitled to interpret it?
In the past decade, we’ve seen a huge debate around the concept of “Sharia: in America “, what it means, as well as what it’s implications are on Americans as well as to women, on a more global scale. I’ve known Carlin for a while and we’ve started to have some discussions on the matter.… Continue reading

What is “Islāmic-Feminism”/What is a “Muslim-Feminist”?!!!
Author’s note: Since Feminism has taken a very significant foothold, within the greater Muslim-World, in our modern-age, as a direct-result of the atrocities brought on by Misogyny, many Muslims, both Men & Women, whom are religiously in favor of Feminism, have decided to coin the term “Islamic-Feminism/Muslim-Feminist”, to identify with the greater Feminist-Movement, with an… Continue reading

My Wounded-Knee & my Broken-Heart: The Untold Tragedy of the Native American
Author’s note: The infamous Wounded-Knee massacre, in 1890, officially, marked the official end of true Native-American sovereignty, within North America, particularly within the newly expanding United States. This, even though a massacre more than a battle, is historically considered the last armed-conflict of the officially recognized “Indian-Wars” era. This event once and for all broke… Continue reading

Camelot: Unplugged
Excalibur was never my strength; Lancelot was always treacherous. I never trusted Guinevere, the Round Table Knights ever malicious. The street-life my kingdom, the projects my castles. The hustlers, shooters and stick-up kids, my vassals. My upbringing like the water of a moat: stale, stagnant. No drawbridges to escape from my illusionary palace. The dregs… Continue reading

The Realities of Being a Hifzh-Kid:
Author’s note: I have chosen to ask some people, whom I know personally, to write about their thoughts, views on how it really is to be a Hafizh (a Memorizer of the Qur’an). I deem it necessary to relate how it truly is: many/most of us, Muslims, whom have not been able to commit Hizh (memorization… Continue reading
