My thoughts on Spirituality vs. Religiosity:

Religiosity vs. Spirituality: What’s the difference?!!! A great deal of people, especially Muslims, have been taught or and lead to believe that being “spiritual” is not the same as being “religious”. I hear this from all types of people, from all spheres & all types of religious backgrounds. My whole intention & point to writing… Continue reading

My thoughts on Truths & Lies:

The Truth behind the Lie: We all want to live comfortable lies. Yeah, I said lies…just lies, not lives. We never want to come to terms with truths. We are too afraid to receive an honest bruise. We must all decide for ourselves what’s real & what’s fake. It’s no easy task; there’s no way… Continue reading

Your form- No deficiencies, flaws, nor… Continue reading

My thoughts on the broken-heart:

The Heartache & Heartbreak!!! What makes the heart ache; what makes the heart break? You were my everything; now, you’re nothing. As I think back, you were my reason for living. That was my mistake from the very beginning. What makes the heart ache; what makes the heart break? I thought that you’d be the… Continue reading

The Mercy of Allah Can Never be Measured by any of us

My story about how merciful Allah has been to me personally: I distinctly remember, a few years ago, as I was still struggling with my own ego & desires to become more religious, more of a true Muslim, I used to party a lot. It’s was like I was at every single jump-off-I was just… Continue reading

My thoughts on a Woman’s beauty:

The Canvas & the Painter!!!The woman is like a canvas, and I am like her painter. I’ve used my long, brown paintbrush, with its gentle bristles, to paint her entire body. I’ve longed to give her blank body expression; it is just as though she consumes me. I’ve drawn ridges up and down her tender… Continue reading

The Graves: Our Death-Caves

We view death as something so far, and yet, it’s so very near. It’s not until the Angel of Death comes that we’ve got it clear. When he comes for our souls, we cannot even use a ruse. Death is a battle that we are all divinely-destined to lose. Welcome to your grave, it’s your… Continue reading
