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 this week in my life:
This entire week, so far, for me, has been a crossroads-I’ve been treading the path between victory & defeat, success & failure, confidence & depression, conviction & confusion, and praise & slander-It’s also been like it’s all been a combination of all of the above….. …..Oh, Allah!!! Just let me walk through the dense forest 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

My thoughts on Truths & Lies:
The Truth behind the Lie: We all want to live comfortable lies. Yeah, I said lies…just lies, not lives. We never want to come to terms with truths. We are too afraid to receive an honest bruise. We must all decide for ourselves what’s real & what’s fake. It’s no easy task; there’s no way Continue reading

My thoughts on the girl of my dreams:
What I see when I see you: Your intellect- You’re so thoughtful & pensive; you’re so strong, yet so sensitive. Your faith- Your belief in Allah is unshakable; your conviction & integrity is unbreakable. Your smile- Unforgettably pleasant, it’s what magnifies & adds to the beauty of a present. Your form- No deficiencies, flaws, nor Continue reading

My thoughts on the broken-heart:
The Heartache & Heartbreak!!! What makes the heart ache; what makes the heart break? You were my everything; now, you’re nothing. As I think back, you were my reason for living. That was my mistake from the very beginning. What makes the heart ache; what makes the heart break? I thought that you’d be the Continue reading
