Thanksgiving is all the time, every day!!!
I’m thankful all of the time, not just for Thanksgiving: I’m thankful for Allah turning my heart away from the love & pursuit of the streets. I’m thankful for Him grant me the opportunity to find Islam as well as finding true peace. I’m amazed that every year people claim to be thankful; yet, are… Continue reading

Oppression: What the World needs to be constantly reminded of:
In light of what has recently been happening in Palestine, let’s look at some historical examples of the same type of oppression, that’s just as vile as what we’ve witnessed in the Levant during our very own lifetimes: 1. The Crusades, the Christian invasions of the Muslim-World, during the Middle-Ages (1095-1456 C.E.) 2. The Spanish… Continue reading

My thoughts on Batman: The Dark Knight Rises & James Holmes: Humanity Falls
It’s been an entire week since the Batman movie massacre, that has shaken Aurora, Co, and has forced a nation into deep uproar, about gun-control, as well as, the two front-running Presidential candidates to make public outcries about gun-violence. However, when a Muslim observes this tragedy, and, a tragedy it definitely was, we must also… Continue reading

My thoughts on Yusef Ramelize & his amazing project: “Homeless For One Week”
Author’s note: It’s very ironic how in a place like New York City, by far, the wealthiest city on the planet, in Human history, can actually have a significant homeless population. What’s also just as sadly amazing is how so many of us do nothing about it. I mean, sure there’s various organizations & food-banks.… Continue reading

My thoughts on the 4th of July:
Author’s Note: July 4th-Weekend is where people put up their American flags, on their home doors, front lawns, windows, and/or cars & have day-long BBQ’s in their backyards, or go to beaches, celebrating the commemoration of how American Colonists stood against the British Crown & resisted tyranny. I would just like to present this poem,… 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. Yet, we have the audacity to strip the creation of their wealth. This wealth is priceless: they are our lives, properties & honor. Violating, taking these things from others is an… Continue reading

My random “Words of Wisdom”:
“You don’t have to spend a ‘King’s Ransom’, in order to look like royalty” Gareth Bryant The reason for me even bringing this up is because we all, at sometimes, or other times, waste so much money, trying to look like “a million bucks”, when we could actually spend a lot less, and get a… Continue reading
