My thoughts on the Pursuit of Materialism:
[wpvideo wPaAKct0] Absolute Materialism: From fancy cars, to racks on racks. From Heroin, to Cocaine & Crack. We have such a dangerous, pathological thirst for things. There’s just a destructive path and it never ceases. There seems to be no cure for this deadly disease. It’s like we’re paralyzed, by the venom of serpent stings. Continue reading

My Cocoon-Diaries Part II:
Author’s note: My Cocoon-Diaries are poems and/or general writings which contain self-reflections for me, how I’ve been living & how I should’ve not been living, over a significant portion of time that I’ve taken to limit my social-spheres & social-interactions. It’s been a time for me to dig deep within myself, to wrap myself up Continue reading

My thoughts on Women & Women’s History Month (Part I):
Author’s note: Since the month March is Women’s History Month, I will be writing several things about women, at random times during this month. In this particular post, I plan to highlight some things about the unjust treatment of women all around the world, particularly & especially in the Muslim-World, more specifically in the Arab-World.

Some Brief Islamic-History (Important Muslims often overlooked via Anti-Blackness):
Author’s note: Here’s my take on some individual Muslims of African-Descent whom are near & dear to my heart, as people whom have made powerful & relevant contributions to Islam & the world. Bilal ibn-Rabah: One of the best-known companions of Muhammad (Peace be upon him), Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him) was the Continue reading

My thoughts on Muhammad, the Beloved of Allah (Peace be upon him):
Author’s note: I purposely chose to release this poem after the Islamic month of Rabi`ul-Awwal, which has just past, because of people celebrating the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), during that particular month, which is a religiously innovated practice, which I personally did not want to partake in anyway. However, since this Continue reading

Some Brief Islamic-History (Malcolm Little AKA: Malcolm X):
Author’s note: Every year, in both February & May, people have celebrations, concerts, grave-visits, lectures, and the whole nine-yards, in homage to this one man, Malcolm Little (May Allah mercify him). It’s still very obvious that the life of Malcolm Little (May Allah mercify him) still grabs our attention, and intrigue, even after his death. Continue reading

My thoughts on the NYPD (Narcissistic…Yellow-Bellied…Power-Hungry…Derelicts):
As many of you, whom are about to read this may already know, the New York City Police Department has been consistently conducting strings of illegal probing & out-right spying on Mosques, Islamic Centers, MSA’s (Muslim Student Associations), as well as other auxiliary Muslim-led or Muslim-majority student-groups, in Colleges & Universities, all over New York Continue reading

My thoughts on Jeremy Lin AKA Linderella (New York City’s Mandarin Miracle on 34th St.):
He’s got a six-game winning-streak under his belt thus far, in the absence of both Amare Stoudemire & Carmelo Anthony. He’s everything that the New York Knicks wanted & needed to get some team synergy established, and he’s also Chinese-American. It’s very refreshing, in a city like New York, to have some ethnic representation of Continue reading

Tale of 2-Tyrants: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf and Bashar Al Assad
https://fb.watch/kQqs4CPdZd/?mibextid=Nif5oz https://fb.watch/kQqMxdLhwA/?mibextid=Nif5oz These two men have a lot in common: al-Hajjaj ibn-Yusuf lived over a thousand years ago; but, apparently, tyranny in the Muslim-World, unfortunately, didn’t die with him. Bashār al-Asad has seemingly been the Geo-Political Reincarnation of al-Hajjāj, basically picking up where he left off. And, the Irony is that they’ve both been Leaders Continue reading

My thoughts on Aafia Siddiqui & Joseph (Peace be upon him): Two different people of two different times, yet tested by Allah with the same trial:
Author’s note: The stories of both Joseph (Peace be upon him) & Aafia Siddiqui are very similar in nature, in spite of the fact that they lived in different time-periods. Their tests were sent by Allah to them to test their faith to see how they would react to the onslaught of opposition. Joseph- The Continue reading
