My thoughts on the Past, Present & Future:
Past: Previous actions of one’s self which can’t be reversed or taken back once set. Affirmation of what has been witnessed, along with accomplishment & regret. Signs from Allah teaching us to behave later on and what never to do again. Tantamount to necessity of reflection, only my ever distant memories remain. Gareth Bryant/2011 Present: Continue reading

My thoughts on Slander:
Slander!!! Stains on the good name of a person will oftentimes never vanish. Like a dark, ugly coat of paint that does nothing except tarnish. Accusations against individual honor & integrity is just deplorable. Nothing about ruining someone’s reputation is cool, it’s horrible. Depressing it is, when someone thinks that character-bashing has any merit. Enumerable, Continue reading

My thoughts on Ingratitude:
Ingratitude: Incompetent, incapable, unruly, worthless, despicable is I. Nonetheless, I pretend that I am the source of my supply. Grave will be my affair with my Lord, whenever He is not praised. Revenge will be His; when He is not given credit, He’s not pleased. Arrogance is a poison of the Heart, it corrupts the Continue reading

My thoughts on Gratitude:
Gratitude: Great are all the enumerable favors that Allah has given me. Received without Him wanting payback, He gives for free. And, He only requires that we devote ourselves to Him solely. This service, which we owe our owner, is for Him exclusively. I must always remind myself that Allah is my benefactor. The obligation Continue reading

My thoughts on dealing with opposition:
This has taken me a very long time to learn, but here it is: “If a lynch-mob wants to hang you, you don’t give them a noose; if someone wants to shoot you, you don’t give them a loaded gun; if an archer wants to hunt you down, you don’t give him arrows.” Gareth Bryant Continue reading

My thoughts on Spirituality vs. Religiosity:
Religiosity vs. Spirituality: What’s the difference?!!! A great deal of people, especially Muslims, have been taught or and lead to believe that being “spiritual” is not the same as being “religious”. I hear this from all types of people, from all spheres & all types of religious backgrounds. My whole intention & point to writing Continue reading

The Mercy of Allah Can Never be Measured by any of us
My story about how merciful Allah has been to me personally: I distinctly remember, a few years ago, as I was still struggling with my own ego & desires to become more religious, more of a true Muslim, I used to party a lot. It’s was like I was at every single jump-off-I was just Continue reading

Gareth Bryant’s Top-Five Reasons why there’ll never be a “Palestinian-State”
https://gbwrites.com/2022/12/16/muslimpolitics/ https://gbwrites.com/2015/07/21/isismyth/ Israel-Backed Militias Linked to ISIS Loot Gaza Aid Under IDF Watch 1. The Palestinian people, the Muslim Palestinians anyway, have not made the issue of Palestine a religious issue-They’ve only made this an ethno-national issue, while forgetting that Palestine is the long-lost sector of the Muslim-World. So, like any & every part of the Continue reading
