My Desperate-Outcry to my Noble-Savior!!!
Oh…Allah!!! My heart is in pain, it hurts. I know that, in your sight, I’m the worse. You have given me my faith, and correct-guidance, while I still rebel. I’m so afraid to meet You, because, I feel that I’ll go straight to Hell. I know that disobeying You is not at all in my… Continue reading

Thanksgiving is all the time, every day!!!

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

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

When I got there, the posters for the event were all gone. And, no one seemed to know where… Continue reading

My thoughts on the 4th of July:
Author’s Note: July 4th-Weekend is where people put up their American flags, on their home doors, front lawns, windows, and/or cars & have day-long BBQ’s in their backyards, or go to beaches, celebrating the commemoration of how American Colonists stood against the British Crown & resisted tyranny. I would just like to present this poem,… Continue reading
