My thoughts about the Rain:
The Rivers of the Street!!! When it rains, it pours, as the torrential bathing of New York, keeps us wet & cold. Winds direct this Rain, to every corner, block & sidewalk; it just does what it’s told. The day-long down-pour, from the Sky, funnels down avenues & alleyways. The Storm-Clouds are gray, thick &… Continue reading

Oppression is wretched!!!
It is something that will taint your soul. You’ll never reach Paradise, our goal. Tyranny is something that which Allah has banned for Himself.
