The Necessity to consistently prepare for Death

Allah states: “Every Soul shall experience Death.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.3, V.185&Chpt.21, V.35) al-Muqaddimah/Prelude 1446/1447, AH (2005, CE) had been a Somber-Time for me. As I had turned Age-44/45 on the Islāmic-Calendar (Age-43 on the Gregorian-Calendar): I was the Same-Age my Father was the Year I was born (back in 1402, AH/1982, CE). This affected me deeply,… Continue reading

Introspection via Death’s Uncomfortable-Touch

Death has never been an Easy-Thing to comes to Terms with. However, it’s something equally necessary to embrace. Allah says: “Those whom believe pay attention: Revere Allah, because revering Them is correct. And don’t die, except as Muslims.” “Everyone shall taste Death. And, We test you with the Worst&Best of a Trial. And, then you’ll… Continue reading

The Time we think we have

This was a Khutbah which I did on Jumād-ith-Thānī 13th, 1444, A.H./January 6th, 2023, C.E. The Topic/Subject was about al-Mawt/Death. Originally, my Khutbah-Niyyah/Motive was different. But, then, on my Way to a Masjid/Mosque via Uber: I saw Several-Cemetaries & then a Mobile Funeral-Procession. Upon seeing this: I immediately switched my Khutbah-Subject/Topic. https://www.facebook.com/MASIbnSinaCenter/videos/571165547775083/?mibextid=NnVzG8 I gave This-Khutbah… Continue reading

Deserted-Prophecies

"When Bin Salman stood on top of the holy Kaaba in Mecca in 2019, it was almost symbolic of his intention to subjugate the Islamic influences in #SaudiArabia. Today he has embarked on another symbolic challenge in announcing plans to build a new 'Kaaba' of entertainment" pic.twitter.com/lOCH7N3lH2 — Sami Hamdi سامي الهاشمي الحامدي (@SALHACHIMI) February… Continue reading

Reality-Check concerning the Life&Death of a Muslim

When’s the Last-Time that any of us made ad-Du`ā’/Verbal-Prayer for any of our Muslim-Relatives whom’re now Dead?!!! I ask this, because: 1. This is actually amongst the Rights of the Muslim-Dead, for the Muslim-Living to make Du`ā’ for them. 2. Most-Muslims whom’re either Muslim-Born and/or have Muslim-Relatives have 0-Idea what it feels like to not… Continue reading

Going Berzerk in Barzakh

مسائل القبر: من ربك؟ ما دينك؟ من نبيك؟ Questions of the Grave: a. Who’s your Creator/Lord? b. What’s your Religio-Spiritual Path? c. Who’s your Prophetic-Individual? (al-Bukhārī, Muslim, at-Tirmidhī, Abū-Dāwud, an-Nasā’ī, ibn-Mājah, Ahmad, ibn-Hajar, al-Barā’) Islāmically we’re taught concerning the Realm of Existence Post-Death, known as al-Barzakh/Limbo…it serves as a Barrier between ad-Dunyā/the Mundane & al-Ākhirah/the… Continue reading

Islāmophobia via Feminism

I recently read an Article via Muslim Matters, regarding a very Controversial-Issue, predicated upon Islāmophobic-Tahrīf/Distortion (done by Muslims & Non-Muslims alike ironically) of the Revelatory-Text above. This Revelatory-Text is one of Countless Revelatory-Texts, which detail whom and/or which Kinds/Types of Beings will dwell either within al-Jannah/Paradise or Jahannam/Hell. The Link to the Muslim Matters Article… Continue reading

Benefitting Fellow-Muslims after Death

This Video explains in detail what can/should be done for Fellow-Muslims, if/when they die. It’s most definitely a Trying-Time/Experience, once Death falls upon us. More often than not, there’s Countless-Insecurities surrounding Death. It always/will always affect each & every Individual-Person differently. So, in my Attempt to provide Solace via Empowerment: this Video aims to assist… Continue reading

Connecting Sports & Islam:

Author’s note: Sports are some f the best forms of entertainment: they teach us how to strategize, organize, execute, implement discipline, teamwork, respect, humility, selflessness, goodwill, confidence, ambition, and all other types of positive-qualities necessary to properly function in this Mundane-Life. And, connecting Sports with Existence, there are so many innumerable parallels, which I plan… Continue reading

My thoughts on Winter:

Author’s note: At the beginning of each season this year (according to the Gregorian-Calendar), I plan to release a poem about each season-I’ve written several poems about the seasons, particularly the four classic temperate seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each of these seasons represents different stages of existence, in this Material-Existence of ours, which… Continue reading

About Gareth Bryant’s Writing/Blogging:

This is the official writing-blog of Gareth Bryant. To keep it simple: I just love writing poetry & writing generally. I can make a poem out of anything, and I can write about any subject matter. This is just one of the things that Allah has given me as a talent, and I plan to share that with as many individuals on Earth as possible.

If you enjoy poetry/writing just as much as I do, or even more, then, this page is just for you & so is my writing & poetry. 🙂

Any thoughts, reflections, advice, comments, complaints, please, feel free to leave them, so I can receive them, and make attempts to not only improve my own writing, but to make sure that whoever views this page is able to enjoy what I’m presenting even more, and if they’re not enjoying what’s being presented, that I go out of my way to make sure that they do enjoy it.
