The Suddeness of Life & Death!!!
I saw a beautiful Bird, just lying on the ground. At first, I thought it injured, didn’t make a sound. It wasn’t till I edged closer to it, that realized it dead. My appreciation of the Bird’s beauty turned to dread. It was a stark reminder, of the fact that Life is so short. And,… Continue reading

My reflections on the first 3-Decades of my Life:
You know, honestly, I’ve been thinking a lot lately, about the first 3-decades of my temporal, mundane, earthly existence, commonly called Life (May Allah grant me yet another 3-decades & more decades thereafter, Amen)… …I’ve been thinking about fortunate I’ve been, thanks to the favors of Allah, the Creator/Lord of the Universe…the fact that my… 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

Water: An Islamic-Treasure!!!
All living things, essentially, rely on water for basic-existence on Earth, making it such a crucial part of our existence; yet, sadly, we take it for granted far too often & even once is one time too many. We, often times, are so quick to purposely ignore & forget the teaching of Muhammad, the Messenger… Continue reading

Children in Connecticut, children anywhere: They’re all children!!!
This recent shooting tragedy in Connecticut, where almost 30 persons, Human beings, mostly children, were savagely cut-down by gunfire, reminds me of the malice that occurs the world over. There are places in this world, where people would probably say, “Almost 30 killed, and that’s it?!!! We get that in about 1/2 hour, everyday.”. It’s… Continue reading
