PLEASE READ THE TRUTH OF ISLAM

           The Truth Behind The Veil   
 
 
In this article, I would like to discuss the questions I get asked the most and what daily life is like for me as a Muslim teenage girl. Above all, the questions I am most often asked besides whether or not I am related to Saddam Hussain (which if any of my dear readers are wondering the answer is NO) is “what is that thing on your head?” And when asked, a short quick reply is usually given, but now I will give a more in-depth explanation in hopes of your attaining a better understanding.

Traveling Light- Song Fic“Rest Well, Grandpa,” a woman whispers as she drops a simple white flower onto the grave she stands before. She lifts her head and attempts squaring her small shoulders, trying to be strong, but she can’t, not anymore, so they slump as she turns to head back towards her house.  
 
Sliding open the door of her modest abode she pauses in the doorway, feeling suddenly weighed down by the emptiness that seems to echo in the house now. She feels truly alone, and oh yes, she knows her son will return home soon from college, but she lives in the now, in the hollowness that has no concept of time, and a strong grip on such a worn soul.  Traveling Light- Song Fic

Reflections before Hajj-1What is Hajj? In simplest terms it is a journey to find yourself, to connect yourself with your Lord, to elevate above the low grounds of physical being and achieve balance with your spiritual being. “Wah arafa nafsa wah arafa rabah”- To know yourself is to know your Lord- Hajj is exactly that, such simple words but such a large feat to accomplish. Not only is the seeking difficult but also breaking away from all our attachments of the world and society we know, to let go and detach, to become dead to the world we leave behind on our journey in order to bring to life the soul we choke each day through the “muck” of our rotating mundane lives.

Fathers and thier ShotgunsA girl quietly hangs over her upstairs railing, watching with rising anxiety, the scene unfolding below. Her Father is much too calmly speaking about the shotgun in his hands, one that he is taking apart and loading with precise speed. The click of the bullet chamber closing makes both of the observing youth jump.  
 
     The boy has stopped wringing his sweating hands and is now trying to discreetly wipe them on his jeans whilst nodding to the mans words with an occasional tight smile.  
 
     Later the girl remarks what a gentleman he is and while the boy answers ‘of co Fathers and thier Shotguns

Prologue: POTO FanficThe sun ripples in through the frosty air, snow sparkles like diamonds as it clings to the earth that is slowly coming alive again. A little hand reaches up to leave its mark on the foggy window pane. A woman watches, wearing a gentle smile as she shifts her gaze from the child to the enchanting scene outside. She is Christine Daae’, or as she has been better known for the past ten years: Christine De’Changy. Once known to have great potential and fame in the arts of musical performance, left her career prematurely to live in the country as a dedicated wife and mother. The “Angel of Music” no longer sings; no, she is no angel, not in her own Prologue: POTO Fanfic

  • Mood: Longing
  • Listening to: God help the outcasts
Well, if anyone noticted, i've deleted every poem from the site like I had threatened to before.

I've done it pretty much for the same reasons i've stated previously, my style has changed and improved, and I don't want my old work representing me here.

I won't put any of my new things here because I am currently persuing publishing and I don't feel comfortable putting my work out here in the open.

As my trend has been of late, I won't really be using DA anymore except to put up the occasional writing that isn't a poem.

Aside from all that jazz, school is keeping me busy as per usual, speaking of which, my philosophy book needs attention.

How's everyone doing?

If I take the wings of morning
Dawn-white velvet now unfold
To ride on tinted sunrays
Lifting sleepers, dreams- erase

Banish the dreams that terrify
And night's fantastic company
Keep us from Satan's tryanny
Defend us from unchastity

Drink up sweet decadence.
I can't say no to you,
And I've completely lost myself, and I don't mind.
I can't say no to you.

Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely.
Now I can't let go of this dream.
