My Love-Letter to the one who refuses to love me back:
I’m not in despair, and I no longer care. You really didn’t want me at all anyway. I now see who you really are, it’s clear. You just wanted to pass the time of day. You knew in your heart that you didn’t want me; but, you kept it going. You already had it in Continue reading

The Muslims need Self-Representation!!!
I’m takin’ back my voice!!! Don’t speak for me. I’m a man and free. My religion doesn’t give hatemongers the credence to silence me. Having a beard is not a license to detain me, for an hour or three. My Arabic tongue shouldn’t be a reason to be doomed, living a life of the falsely-accused. Continue reading

My St. John’s University Adventure (trust me, this is funny!!!):
This is how my story goes: Back in 2011, I was going to an Islamophobia lecture at St. John’s University, by John Starling, an instructor at the Foundation for Knowledge and Development, in New York City. When I got there, the posters for the event were all gone. And, no one seemed to know where Continue reading

Gareth Bryant’s advice on how to treat Women:
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said, “A woman is like a rib: If you attempt to straighten it, it will break.”.(al-Bukahri/Riyadh-us-Salihin) Much more important than a rib, the Human female can/will break, if you treat a woman, any woman harshly: Don’t attempt to “straighten” or “fix” her-Women don’t need to be “straightened” or “fixed”; rather, Continue reading

My Transition from Boy to Man
I was once a Boy: I used to be a boy. My life was a toy. I would take things lightly, and shun responsibility, but that was clearly in the past. Pursuing the fleeting and worthless pleasures, you think you want, really never last. I used to think of myself as the “ladies’-man”; I arrogantly Continue reading

Some Brief Islamic-History (Islam’s female version of the “Dream-Team”):
Author’s note: I’ve written this exclusively to address the fallacies of people whom are Islamophobic, who state that Islam has no respect for women, and that it’s even religiously-sanctioned in Islam to mistreat women, all of which are complete not at all true. However, ironically, unfortunately, sadly, there are Muslims out there who attempt to Continue reading

The Reality of this Mundane-Life:
Close your eyes and let your imagination take you away: You’re walkin’ down a very narrow hallway. You can only move in two directions, either backwards or forwards. There’s a fire behind you that’s catching up to you, by the second. In front of you is the way outside, where you can escape this fire. Continue reading
