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 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 a Woman’s beauty:
The Canvas & the Painter!!!The woman is like a canvas, and I am like her painter. I’ve used my long, brown paintbrush, with its gentle bristles, to paint her entire body. I’ve longed to give her blank body expression; it is just as though she consumes me. I’ve drawn ridges up and down her tender… Continue reading

The Graves: Our Death-Caves
We view death as something so far, and yet, it’s so very near. It’s not until the Angel of Death comes that we’ve got it clear. When he comes for our souls, we cannot even use a ruse. Death is a battle that we are all divinely-destined to lose. Welcome to your grave, it’s your… Continue reading
