Jihād is not a “Bad-Word”:
Imma tell ya a story of what Jihad really is Folks: it’s not this dirty-word, that Islamophobic Birds chirp about in the Media… …it’s something that starts from the individual, and works its way into the Public, to establish Divine-Justice, the Shari`ah… …Each of us have plenty trials, flaws, and sins… …but, we work hard Continue reading

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

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.

Of the Slandered, but not of the Fallen:
There’s news around town that Gareth Bryant is a fraud. They mean to judge me as I’m to be judged by my Lord. I’m given no recourse for self defence, against offense which can’t be proven.
