The Necessity to consistently prepare for Death

Allah states: “Every Soul shall experience Death.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.185&Chpt.21, V.35) al-Muqaddimah/Prelude 1446/1447, AH (2005, CE) had been a Somber-Time for me. As I had turned Age-44/45 on the Islāmic-Calendar (Age-43 on the Gregorian-Calendar): I was the Same-Age my Father was the Year I was born (back in 1402, AH/1982, CE). This affected me deeply, Continue reading

Introspection via Death’s Uncomfortable-Touch

Death has never been an Easy-Thing to comes to Terms with. However, it’s something equally necessary to embrace. Allah says: “Those whom believe pay attention: Revere Allah, because revering Them is correct. And don’t die, except as Muslims.” “Everyone shall taste Death. And, We test you with the Worst&Best of a Trial. And, then you’ll Continue reading

What that Death do?!!!

Allah states: “Every Soul tastes Death. And, you’ll only attain your Rewards via the Day-Of-Standing.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.185) Contrary to the Pop-Cultural Philosophical-Inquiry “What dat Mouth do?!!!”, what should be focused on is “What that Death do?!!!”. Because, Death destroys any/all Illusions regarding the Mysteries-Of-Existence. For example, when Persons always ask “Why am I here?”…if Continue reading

I’m Drained&Disdained

My Mind&Heart like a Battery……stimulated by all the Flatery. Yet, when the Person I love & they love me……made to be distant because of Catastrophe. It hurts, like a Stab into the Muscular-Flesh……numb initially but takes Air out my Chest. I’m expected to erase all of my Love-Loss……as if it was just expendable as Used-Floss. Continue reading

The Time we think we have

This was a Khutbah which I did on Jumād-ith-Thānī 13th, 1444, A.H./January 6th, 2023, C.E. The Topic/Subject was about al-Mawt/Death. Originally, my Khutbah-Niyyah/Motive was different. But, then, on my Way to a Masjid/Mosque via Uber: I saw Several-Cemetaries & then a Mobile Funeral-Procession. Upon seeing this: I immediately switched my Khutbah-Subject/Topic. I gave This-Khutbah titled Continue reading

The Challenge to be Authentic

Author’s-Note: I just felt like writing down some thoughts, about how people would rather see others in a false-light, then through an authentic-lens, how they would rather others be fake then to be real. Don’t worry, this poem is not about any particular individual/individuals. So, I don’t want anyone contacting me, questioning, challenging me, as Continue reading

Appearances are not Realities

I’m from the Hood, with a heart of Gold. I’ve never been rich, but never been sold. I’m scruffy, like a pad of Brillo. My skin, thick as an Armadillo. But, my touch is as soft as Clouds. My voice utters only sweet-sounds. So, don’t judge me, just because of my surface. If all you Continue reading

Having hope in what we can’t yet see. Appreciation, for all of what could be. Patience, upon all the many tests which lie ahead. Piety, always ensuring that your heart isn’t dead. Incorporating respect & love in your daily-routine. Never become ungrateful, nor treat people mean. Educate others about Allah’s mercy & respite. Set an Continue reading
