My Solace from Chaos
I’m constantly lambasted by hardship… …as adversity strikes just like a whip… …I’m completely lost in the Forests of trials & uncertainty… …as the Wolves of deception just hunt after me tirelessly… …I’m surrounded by Dessert, as my barren hopes & dreams, carried away from my reach, by the Winds of Providence… …I came to… Continue reading

I live Life with no Filter:
I’m unrefined, unpolished…after an earthquake, demolished…I’m the raw substance. I’m uncouth, aloof…sarcastic thru the roof…but, at the same time, I’m totally honest. There’s no foundation on my surface, to hide my bruises that I’ve attained in my life. There’s no shield, that is used, to conceal what I’ve experienced, by trials and strife. From toy… Continue reading

Author’s-Note: “And cling to the Rope-Of-Allah, altogether & don’t separate.”…”Verily, those whom entertain Sectarian-Groups I’m not with them.”.(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.103; Chpt.6, V.65) For more Info. regarding the Context of these Revelatory-Texts: www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2021/12/23/hizbiyyah/ I’ve often wondered to myself, the question that I’ve chosen to title this article.

Muslims Giving Back: Project: #BringBackOurGirl
In light of the recent #BringOurGilrsBack campaign, sparked by the disgusting actions in Nigeria, spearheaded by the group Boko Haram, in which they barbarically kidnapped & sold-off Schoolgirls, from a school, many of us see this tragedy as being over there & not where we are.

Imaginative-Reasoning:
Imagine a Chessboard, without pieces… …or, a Dissertation, without a Thesis. What if the Homeo had no stasis… …the World’s weather no phases? Try to picture the Arctic-Circle, with no Ice-Caps… …and, all of the Animals extinct, not coming back. Let’s think of a Planet without compliance… …filled with hypocrisy, apathy and violence.

Dominance vs. Subjugation: Which to choose?
Since the Dawn of the Human-Race, we have always viewed other species as inferior to us. We’ve constantly, throughout our tenure on Earth, tried to out survive, outwit, overpower, all other creatures of our Planet. As well, we’ve also attempted to & have used these Same-Methods against our own Fellow-Man. As far as dominating other… Continue reading
