Daydreaming Is My Everything

Should We Take Islam As Our Culture...Or Our Respective Native Country...Or The Country We Grew Up In?

2009-03-25T14:06:00.010-04:00

I once asked a close friend to define himself...
He told me, "I'm a muslim", meaning that he submitted himself to the Will Of God.
Before being an American,
Before having Egyptian descent
He's a muslim!
That's who he is, and that's how he wants to be remembered by.

Islam (Submission to Allah) is clearly the culture he wants to adhere to.

Who To Trust? People Will Testify Against You In The Hereafter.

2009-03-25T14:01:00.010-04:00

Whether people learn about the truth in this life
Or it is revealed to them in the Hereafter
The truth will not be concealed.
In the end,«true» Justice will prevail!

So Knowledge Is Obligatory....Alright, Let Me Get Serious!

2009-02-09T11:58:00.007-05:00

Call it maturity, but I came to a point in life where I understand that knowledge is mandatory! The goal is not to get a passing grade, or to get through in life. We must be strongly committed in educating ourselves, the youth (especially our kids).

Let's not neglect our responsibilites!!!

Am I Blogging Correctly?

2009-02-09T11:56:00.011-05:00

The answer to this questions is NO.
Why? Cauz I don't want to :b
I'm not up for the task of writing about Islamic issues, OR the fact that the World differs on religious practices...
It's disappointing, I'm saddened by all this...
But hey, what can I do?
Only to hope that all the misconceptions out there are cleared up!

Why Is It Hard For Some People To Follow Their Own Advice?

2009-02-09T11:19:00.005-05:00

Sit down...reflect...reminisce on the times you've been a victim of this "disease"...Now make strong efforts to cure it.
I know I will.

One love!

Must Have Items...Especially If You're Muslim!

2009-02-09T10:37:00.005-05:00

- Qur'an: English/French/.../ An Arabic version of the Qur'an is a must! Reciting Qur'an in Arabic should be one of our priorities!!!
- Hadith book: cauz they help one understand the way of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), who was sent as an example to humanity.
- Islamic lecture CDs: will help one gain more knowledge about Islam, which all muslims & muslimahs must strive for.

Don't Kill The Dream...Just Execute It!

I heard the quote above from Br. Safi Khan at the "Home Of The Heart: Fundraiser Dinner" hosted by Dar-us-Salaam on December 27, 2008. The quote says it all!!!

Motivation, Determination and Faith in Allah is all we need brothers and sisters for the World to reach new heights.
I love Islam, hope you do too ;)
Please share your love by briefly posting a comment and explaining your love for Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Jazakum Allahu khaira (May Allah Reward You)

Why Do We Disrespect Others During Salaah:(

2009-02-09T09:54:00.004-05:00

Maybe cauz we want to prevent those who are praying to connect with Allah? Hakim T., this can't be the case cauz in Islam we're supposed to "love for our brothers & sisters more than what we love for our own self".

Quick reminder: Let's practice what we learn :)

Sister Please Be My Wife...I Promise Not To Be Attached To This Dunia:)

2009-02-09T09:53:00.005-05:00

To all the unmarried muslimahs,

Finding a partner who is focused on The Purpose Of Life can be difficult. Don't lose hope! I haven't, and so haven't some close brothers of mine :)
Let's keep the marriage process simple!!!
May Allah Bless Us All

-Ameen-

Can't Believe She Stopped Talking To Me....Cauz I Mentioned Salaah & Haya!

2009-02-09T09:51:00.015-05:00

Guess this is what happens when one isn't ready to get serious
But would rather follow her lust
And enjoy the desires of this world.
Just wish she would understand that there are conditions in the relationship with Allah (God).

How can she forget about the 5 pillars of Islam?
1. Shahada (believe in Allah & Muhammad as the final messenger)
2. Salah (the required prayers)
3. Zakat (spending 2.5% of wealth for the needy)
4. Saum (fasting during the month of Ramadan)
5. Hajj (pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, if you are able to do so financially)

I love you, but you can't say you believe and not pray or not pay zakat!!!
I'm sorry :(
Listen, no one is perfect...but please take some steps towards building a connection. Alright!
Everything will be okay :)

Time Is Ticking Away...Am I Planning For The Future?

2009-02-09T09:47:00.006-05:00

Please do! Not just in this life...
But life in the Hereafter cauz one of the questions you will be asked is, "Who is your Lord'?

If; for instance, you say Jesus. It will be problematic cauz he can't be 1 in 3 (the Lord, the Savior, the Holy Spirit). This statement proves that your God is not One, but 3 in 1.

You shouldn't regret what you answer; therefore, take time to reflect!

Quick Tour From The Day I took My Shahada

2009-02-08T21:24:00.002-05:00

I was lost in the Dark
Now I found Light.
Can't be a hypocrite
And keep it to myself!
I need to share it with my peers...
The whole World...if possible ;)
Godwillingly, the truth will spread
Cauz it can't be concealed forever.

Thobe Day...how cool is that :b

2009-02-08T21:03:00.006-05:00

To my muslim brothers,

It's important not to forget that you are also muslim.
The reason I say this is to remind you all (including myself)
To be proud of your deen!
Much respect is due to sisters who wear the hijab
Guys, let's step our game up by wearing the thobe more often ;)

Love is love.
