The Turbulence of Life:
As the sea waves crash during our nights and days. We dwell within our mundane, vesseled hideaways. The torrid and torrent, toil and trial will drive each & all of us off-course. But our navigator must be Allah’s guidance & with Him is the best force. Because it is He who turns our ships: our… Continue reading

Start looking past the Surface:
Don’t assume that I’m a Rapper, just because I wear Jeans & a T-Shirt. Don’t just look at the length of my beard and just think I’m out of work. Please…do not assume that, because the country I am from sounds exotic, I can fly a magic-carpet. Why do you judge people you do not… Continue reading

The Opera of Obscurity
My yearning for Isolation: I wish I were still in the womb. I’d like to call it my birth-tomb. It is just like a Cocoon, in it I am wrapped inside. Divorced from the world, my perfect way to hide. Protected, unjudged, allowed to be free, and unplugged. No one’s here to disturb or mock… Continue reading

My Love-Letter to the one who refuses to love me back:
I’m not in despair, and I no longer care. You really didn’t want me at all anyway. I now see who you really are, it’s clear. You just wanted to pass the time of day. You knew in your heart that you didn’t want me; but, you kept it going. You already had it in… Continue reading

The Muslims need Self-Representation!!!
I’m takin’ back my voice!!! Don’t speak for me. I’m a man and free. My religion doesn’t give hatemongers the credence to silence me. Having a beard is not a license to detain me, for an hour or three. My Arabic tongue shouldn’t be a reason to be doomed, living a life of the falsely-accused.… Continue reading

My St. John’s University Adventure (trust me, this is funny!!!):
This is how my story goes: Back in 2011, I was going to an Islamophobia lecture at St. John’s University, by John Starling, an instructor at the Foundation for Knowledge and Development, in New York City. When I got there, the posters for the event were all gone. And, no one seemed to know where… Continue reading

Gareth Bryant’s advice on how to treat Women:
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “A woman is like a rib: If you attempt to straighten it, it will break.”.(al-Bukahri/Riyadh-us-Salihin) Much more important than a rib, the Human female can/will break, if you treat a woman, any woman harshly: Don’t attempt to “straighten” or “fix” her-Women don’t need to be “straightened” or “fixed”; rather,… Continue reading
