My Fashion-Week Adventures

My trek into one of the Fashion-World’s greatest events started out rather ironically. I wasn’t initially going to go to any events, because I was preoccupied with other things. But, as Allah would have it, He redirected my path (as usual) to something better. And, it was indeed better that I checked out Fashion-Week. Day… Continue reading

My thoughts on 9/11

Even the mere utterance of the household phrase “9/11” still sends chills down people’s spines, invoking fear, fueling the fire of anger, and encouraging hate to resonate in people’s hearts. But, why does September 11th still grasps the attention of Americans, whom many were not even alive to even witness the shocking events that took… Continue reading

Domestic-Violence has no Place in the Muslim-Community!!!

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19f36vHvN4/ The Issue of Domestic-Abuse is very often used via both Muslim&Non-Muslim Islāmophobes, Murtads/Apostates/Ex-Muslims, etc. to pontificate/claim that al-Islām co-signs azh-Zhulm (Oppression, Abuse, etc.). This is exclusively based upon at-Tahrīf/Textual-Distortion, regarding a Revelatory-Text (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.34). Even prior to any Muslim or Non-Muslim Woman getting married to any Muslim-Man: there’s an Established Vetting-Matrix in which… Continue reading

Islam is my Life & Fashion is my Passion:

I remember when I first became a Muslim, like so many us who reverted to Islam, I went through the whole “change your name”, change your look, and essentially change who you naturally, culturally are, as a person nonsense, and so-on. After my little street-life/party & drug-scene stint, I decided that I needed to be… Continue reading

The reasons why I write

Unfortunately, I was not very vocal or expressive, when I was young. So, there’s a lot of things that I could’ve & should’ve shared with others, that are now lost in time, because I chose not to preserve them literarily. However, after I became a Muslim, and especially within this past decade, I’ve developed the… Continue reading
