Tale of 2-Tyrants: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf and Bashar Al Assad
https://fb.watch/kQqs4CPdZd/?mibextid=Nif5oz https://fb.watch/kQqMxdLhwA/?mibextid=Nif5oz These two men have a lot in common: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf lived over a thousand years ago; but, apparently, tyranny in the Muslim-World, unfortunately, didn’t die with him. Bashār al-Asad has seemingly been the Geo-Political Reincarnation of al-Hajjāj, basically picking up where he left off. And, the Irony is that they’ve both been Leaders… Continue reading

My thoughts on Aafia Siddiqui & Joseph (Peace be upon him): Two different people of two different times, yet tested by Allah with the same trial:
Author’s note: The stories of both Joseph (Peace be upon him) & Aafia Siddiqui are very similar in nature, in spite of the fact that they lived in different time-periods. Their tests were sent by Allah to them to test their faith to see how they would react to the onslaught of opposition. Joseph- The… Continue reading

My thoughts on MLK, Jr. and the “MLK-Legacy”:
What can I say to ever give justice to this man? Nothing. Himself, along with countless individuals, of all creeds, ethnicities, nationalities, genders & political-orientations, led the world towards a global fight to end tyranny & injustice. Many of his efforts have been duly highlighted in the annals of American & World-History, which is why… Continue reading

My thoughts on the Egyptian military:
Author’s note: This article has been written in light of the recent gruesome & shameful beating of several persons in Egypt, particularly one woman, who was not only beaten, but shamefully stripped publicly of her traditional Islamic-dress, exposing her private parts-The sad & horrible irony is that the ones who did this are Muslims, in… Continue reading
