So the past few days I have been listening to some new nasheeds by Zain Bhikha…from his new album The Beginning 1415. I really love [...]

what’s there to smile about…

No matter how low you feel, no matter how much your thoughts and feelings are leading you further into the deepest wells of depression, you know deep down inside that this won’t last and you smile…because you see the breathtaking shapes of fleeting white clouds in the blue blue sky, because you see the deep [...]

Allahumma a’izz al Islam

Just a reflection on the du’a made by the Imam at our Masjid every night after Isha prayer.
He says: Allahumma a’izz al Islam wa’l Muslimeen
Which, as far as I know, means: Oh Allah, give honor to Islam and to the Muslims. (I dunno if it’s a masnoon du’a?)
Anyway I was just thinking about it last [...]

Flowers Are Red

Never really heard this one properly until today! It has some deep lyrics, if you think about it…so many ways an elder can brainwash a child, like ingraining in them what the colors of flowers and leaves should always be among other things! I’m trying to think of things I’ve been brainwashed about (besides Islam [...]

What do you talk about?

I heard this story a couple of years ago in a class about different Muslim personalities in history, and I searched for it everywhere (the text) but could not find it. Our teacher had read the story in Urdu and did not know where to find the English text either…and of course everyone was probably [...]

diary of an apostate

This is something I wrote a while back…last year. I  just came across it, and it made me think about the change in my level of Iman. I don’t feel so bad about this anymore, but it does make me think. And it makes me want to go back to that level of [...]

Surah Muhammad

I thought I’d write down some tafseer I was reading a few days ago from my notes, I do remember that it didn’t particularly affect me when I was studying it but this time around, it did. That is the beauty of the Qur’an, isn’t it…you learn something new everytime.
So the ayahs I read were [...]

My mom told me a true scary story. I mean, it really scared me, and I hope it stays that way.
There was an old lady and everyone in her community said she was so kind to everyone, and would always be reading Qur’an and praying, never missing her Salah. When she was dying, she was [...]
