In and Out of Reality
Bismillaah
I was browsing, looking for new blogs on people’s links and I came across brother NaseehaMan’s blog. His blog, comics, posts are all still online but he isn’t: he is gone. It just suddenly ‘hit’ me that he is dead but at the same time I feel confused. I feel the exact same way when I think of my [...]Guidance and a Child

“O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a fire whose fuel is men and stones…”
I can be angry, stressed out, wanting to shun everyone out of my world but it only takes a moment of my son’s purity to make me smile. I [...]‘Don’t Judge Me’
Bismillaah
It has become so common for people to call each other extremists, modernists, misguided etc… Now it also seems very popular for people to say, ‘Don’t Judge’ and to call people away from al-amr bil ma`ruf wa nahi an al-munkar.
Sometimes I sit there in amazement when I hear of Muslims who are (without a doubt) [...]Random Confessions
I miss my family so much. I had my husband’s mother over for the weekend and it was quite nice but it made me miss my mom, my brothers and sister. As for my father… sigh… there are too many problems there but I do miss him.
…I feel quite lonely sometimes. I wonder many times [...]walal-aakhiratu khayrul-laka minal-’oolaa

And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present. (Ad-Duha 93:4)Â
O you who are enjoying the bounty of this world, you will soon depart with your bounty! How fine is this piece of poetry of one of the poets: “Listen, for you are able to hear; if you do [...]
In His remembrance your heart will find its peace
Songs of Innocence
Listen
chorus
Allahu Allahu La ilaha illa Hu
And I sing my songs of innocence
To you my precious child as you lay on your bed
With your sleepy eyes and your heavy head
Rest and dream in peace till morning comes again
I will sing my songs of innocence
I will sing my songs of innocence
And I sing my songs [...]Another Death
Bismillaah
My grandmother passed away today. She wasn’t Muslim and I never got to call her to Islaam because she was in Mexico and I am not. The last time we saw each other was when I was about 6 or 7 years old. We spoke on the phone and stuff but due to so many [...]Death Death Death
Bismillaah
I was two years old when my brother was born. My brother (may Allaah allow him to take shahadah before his death) was born with a heart condition and the day after my mom had him he had to go into the surgery room for open heart surgery. He had a total of five surgeries [...]Filling the Void
Bismillaah
Today was one of those days where we just felt down. I suppose it started when one of our plans didn’t work out the way we had intended - Qadr Allaahu wa maa shaa’a fa`al. I had my hopes pretty high that we would finally be able to do a certain thing but for the 2nd time [...]Re: New and Broken (A request)
Bismillaah
I didn’t know my post would get so much attention. Honestly, all I wanted was to vent. I felt the need to post at 3 a.m that morning because so many thoughts ran through my head at that time. I could have just written it in my small journal that I carry around but instead I [...]
