The Danger of being Shameless

It’s easy to think we know something, until the Knowledge we acquire proves us wrong. Gareth Bryant Continue reading

I am the Monster under the Bed!!!

When the Sun drops down & the Night has risen… …My claws spring-out, my heart cold, eyes crimson. I always wait for the Twilight… …it is the best time to strike.

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.

My thoughts on Gratitude

Gratitude: Great are all the enumerable favors that Allah has given me. Received without Him wanting payback, He gives for free. And, He only requires that we devote ourselves to Him solely. This service, which we owe our owner, is for Him exclusively. I must always remind myself that Allah is my benefactor. The obligation… Continue reading
