"Surely, the true religion in Allah's sight is Islam" (3:19)
by a dear sister Bismillah Al Rahman, Al Raheem: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar” you hear the athaan go on.

Read moreWhen you know you are trying your best, When to please your Maker you never rest. Then excuse those who do not see the light, In what you stand for and constantly fight.

Waste not your time straightening their line, Rather draw a perfect one & you’ll be

Ya nafsy, do you not remember, On ALLAH, you must depend? Read you not those stories, of the trials in days gone by, Of the Sahabi beloved by Allah, Who for Allah’s cause did strive? Why loosen your hold upon him? Why fling away, His outstretched

Read moreMy name is gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
