A Necessary Ramadhan Personal-Reflection In Mercy!!!

Here’s a story for the Record-Books: Ramadhan 1435 AH/2014 CE…I went to Masjid Ar-Rahman, on 29th St bet. 5th Ave & Broadway, in Manhattan, NYC-After making the congregational Maghrib/Sunset Prayer, my shoes go missing. I’m honestly mad as Hell: those Sneakers were brand-new & fresh out the box, I barely had them for a… Continue reading

Britain’s Break From The EU:

Much to many People’s surprise, including Former Prime Minister, David Cameron, who resigned as a result of a referendum in the United Kingdom to retire from the European Union-This decision has caused a domino-effect/tidal-wave like phenomenal financial & political scare all across Europe, as well as the rest of the World. What’s even more surprising is… Continue reading

The Orlando Club-Shooting:

There’s two very important things that I’d like to speak about, regarding these Shootings in Orlando, Florida. Number-1: At this time, I think that it’s appropriate for me to speak about the Orlando, Florida Mass-Shooting. It was wrong…period. There’s absolutely no authentic Islamic-Texts which justify what happened; no true Person-Of-Knowledge would support what happened. Muslims who… Continue reading

Muhammad Ali: One of the Greatest

In Today’s Times:

We’re cheating on our Wives… …are comfortable telling lies… …support the same Tyrants we despise… …and when punished we act so surprised… …we murder our Mothers & our Fathers… …disgracing our Brothers & our Sisters… …the air is filled with no sense of Care… …this World seems to produce only despair… …War is rampant, Cities… Continue reading

Melody of Madness:

Winter is no longer cold…I’m no longer young. Confusion in my life…the War hasn’t been won. Carnage fills my heart, like war-torn Syria. AIDS & Ebola ravage from Rwanda to Libya. The rise of Atheism immersed in Academia. The demand for Petroleum from Saudi Arabia. America uses ISIS for their warmongering devices. Depletion of the… Continue reading

My Advice to the Ummah

#‎Muslims‬…especially ‪#‎MuslimReverts‬ and/or Muslims native to the ‪#‎WesternWorld‬ are in a serious bind & all because of ‪#‎Islamophobia‬: it’s turning Parents against Children, Spouse against Spouse, Co-Worker against Co-Worker, Neighbor against Neighbor, Friend against Friend. It’s tearing our Societies apart, and if we study the Sirah/Biography of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the same thing… Continue reading

Apathetic Times

We live in the days of Malice… …selfishness make us callous. All we desire is to pursue our own wants… …we live by immorality, demonic thoughts. All day in, all day out… …we complain & shout. Forgetting just all too often… …to be grateful for something. We look down upon those who have less… …thinking… Continue reading

About Gareth Bryant’s Writing/Blogging:

This is the official writing-blog of Gareth Bryant. To keep it simple: I just love writing poetry & writing generally. I can make a poem out of anything, and I can write about any subject matter. This is just one of the things that Allah has given me as a talent, and I plan to share that with as many individuals on Earth as possible.

If you enjoy poetry/writing just as much as I do, or even more, then, this page is just for you & so is my writing & poetry. 🙂

Any thoughts, reflections, advice, comments, complaints, please, feel free to leave them, so I can receive them, and make attempts to not only improve my own writing, but to make sure that whoever views this page is able to enjoy what I’m presenting even more, and if they’re not enjoying what’s being presented, that I go out of my way to make sure that they do enjoy it.
