O God, help me against this self of mine
that is seeking help from You;
I seek justice from no one but from
this justice-seeking self.
I shall not get justice from any one except from
Him who is nearer to me than myself;
For this I-ness comes moment by moment from Him.
The spiritual heir of Muhammed is seated in front of you,
but where indeed is "front"?
He is before you, but where is the soul that thinks "before"?...
Five lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall,...

Salam-o-Alaikum,
I hope you are all doing well. I am doing very well, Alhamdulillah. It is becoming ever so hard to stay calm and peaceful in the light of all the events taking place all around us.
There is so much fitna, blasphemy, and other factors that lead many to lose their cool and fall prey to the whispers of the wicked satan. When you look around, you see so much injustice and a total lack of tolerance. Luckily there still are many who preach of peace and love....

AsSalaam-o-Alaikum!
I hope you are all doing well. It has been a while since i have posted, for which I'm sorry.
I'm always on the soul-search. Just as many of your may as well be. It's a journey like none other. You dive so deep into yourself sometimes, it often becomes hard to escape and return to yourself again. Alhamdulillah, it's a feeling like none other to be able to find your wrongs and feel the need to correct them. While looking within myself and allll that is happening...

As-Salam-o-Alaikum!
I hope you're all doing well. I'm fine, Alhamdulillah.
I've been wondering and for the past week or so thinking very much about the fears within me. Then i've thought about the fears other may have, and are all our fears related?
To each is own, may be true, but i do believe there is the ultimate fear that we all share as common.
The ultimate fear for me is not the fear of death, but rather How it will occur. Where will i be? What...

There's the love between people, a significant other, parents, siblings. And............................then there's the love for the Creator and His messenger. The Love of the Almighty is that which once it takes hold, is forever. It never hurts you. It never betrays you. It never leaves you in despair. It then becomes a way of life, and a purpose in itself. Often finding the true love is thought as the journey; the rest is harvesting the hard work put into finding the love.

Good evening!!
How're u all doin? how has yer day been?
My day's been quite busy. Too busy for a Monday. Mrs. McNeil came to get her bi-yearly checkup done. Such a sweet lady, she brought gourmet macadamia-nut and chocolate chunk cookies, and chocolates from sweden where she was visiting during the holidays. Mmmm Mmmm goood. She always brings treats. Ironic as it maybe, but her treats are always suited for the weather. I never could understand why that is.
So it's been...
How're u all doing this fine day? I've been awake for over an hour now. Had a very good night, slept like a baby. Today is indeed a new morning for me in one way because I've found my New Love at last. She's hot. She's quick to act on my commands. We met while i was looking for a car to trade my current one with. Our eyes met and almost immediately smiled like we were meant to be. I drew closer as she stayed in her place as if she was shy and uncertain...
How are you all doin this fine, early morning? did u all sleep well? Good...
I often sleep extremely well once i get myself in the bed. I sleep so deep that you could play drums right next to me and it's very unlikely to wake up. I suppose that's good compared to some people who wake up at the drop of a hair.
Usually on the weekends i would be found sleeping till noon. But today's exceptional. Today i trade in my ride, the sheer joy woke me...

Hello everyone!
As if the regular chatting wasn't enough. We have notes, and blogs. Superb! So how does this work then? I write all my heartfelt secrets here? Huh...is that it?
Alright well, i'll have to courage up to spill my guts. Rest assured, this blog'll be full as a honey comb in no time.
It wouldn't be right if i didn't give partial or due credit to the person who has indirectly encouraged me or for that matter, made me post in my own blog....
