The Orlando Club-Shooting:
There’s two very important things that I’d like to speak about, regarding these Shootings in Orlando, Florida. Number-1: At this time, I think that it’s appropriate for me to speak about the Orlando, Florida Mass-Shooting. It was wrong…period.

My Advice to the Ummah
#Muslims…especially #MuslimReverts and/or Muslims native to the #WesternWorld are in a serious bind & all because of #Islamophobia: it’s turning Parents against Children, Spouse against Spouse, Co-Worker against Co-Worker, Neighbor against Neighbor, Friend against Friend. It’s tearing our Societies apart, and if we study the Sirah/Biography of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the same thing Continue reading

The Suddeness of Life & Death!!!
I saw a beautiful Bird, just lying on the ground. At first, I thought it injured, didn’t make a sound. It wasn’t till I edged closer to it, that realized it dead. My appreciation of the Bird’s beauty turned to dread. It was a stark reminder, of the fact that Life is so short. And, Continue reading
