My Plantation-Of-Pain

“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8) My Father went through a lot in their Life. They were born prematurely, not projected/expected to live beyond 1-Year Old. They had Health-Problems their Entire-Life. And, sadly, they still chose to abuse their Body via Tabacco-Usage & Alcoholism. Their Substance-Abuse… Continue reading

The Trials of a Trial

I went to the Trial-Sentencing of one of my Prison-Chaplaincy Clients. It was the 1st-Time that I’d ever professionally been present at the Trial of one of my Clients. It was a very Intense-Atmosphere. At 1-Point, during the Judicial-Proceedings, People were actually crying & weeping as well as leaving the Courtroom. It was as if… Continue reading

Everyone deserves Guidance

Allah states: “The Qur’ān was revealed via the Month-Of-Ramadhān: within it is Guidance for Humanity.”(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.185) The Reason how/why I chose to post this is simply to stress the Point that: regardless of how sinful any Person may be, regardless of the Sinful-Lifestyle anyone leads, etc. every Human is Islāmically-Entitled/Justified to be exposed to… Continue reading

An Oppressor’s-Pain

I am Broken, cause I broke someone else……they gave me everything, I gave nothin’ in return. I know that I’ve wronged many too often……I’ve cared not for their feelings, how they’d burn. But, alas, I look deep within the Hour-Glass of my Life, time’s running out……I mean not Death, rather Opportunity, to correct what went… Continue reading

My Desperate-Outcry to my Noble-Savior!!!

Oh…Allah!!! My heart is in pain, it hurts. I know that, in your sight, I’m the worse. You have given me my faith, and correct-guidance, while I still rebel. I’m so afraid to meet You, because, I feel that I’ll go straight to Hell. I know that disobeying You is not at all in my… Continue reading

My thoughts on what Allah sees:

Author’s note: It’s very important that we (regardless to whether you’re a Muslim or Non-Muslim) reflect upon what the Creator of the Universe sees us saying and doing, as well as what He sees within our minds & hearts. Most of us just live our lives with only minimal to no reflection of how we’re… 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

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.
