Some Worship Allah for his Blessing, and this is the day to day trades/businessman; Some worship Allah out of fear, and this is the worship of a sincere slave; Some worship Allah out of Thanksgiving, and this is the worship of the freeman...

About Me
A Person who deeply thinks and doesn't follow the status-quo per say; rebellious towards the injustices in the world...I have been inspired through my Islam, my life, travel, deeper soul-searching and study to share my thoughts to a broader audience.
What began as a therapeutic hobby of self-expression in releasing frustration after being in combat {USA war veteran} and then shortly after the passing of my mother; has turned into a journal of my thoughts in poetry, books, documentary short-films, and now public journal/blog...I’m still maturing as you will see in my words and works, but It has now turned into something I find great solace in because the research I share and or personal thoughts/opinions has often been the same pathways to my own deeper self-discovery. Its a bigger joy to share and know that people understand and have connected with what I write through the success of site… Thank You All... |
In defense of myself as a Muslim against all of the infighting among Muslims; as I'm now sharing in dissemination of material {Islamic Sciences} in which i do so with much care and concern...On that note alone, I'm not aligning myself with any deviant group(s) or sheeyuk; but on the contrary, I take from the content that has benefit and leave off all that is from the shahawaat or shubuhat of anyone. The Quran and Sunnah of the prophet (saw) are the only sources to be taken literally (excluding the fabricated ahadith, which trained individuals are aware of what they are). Judaism, Christianity or their many sects, in the form of harmful sectarian ideology, and or other clear deviant views are something that sickens me because herein lies the deviations that divide people, nations, & the world…therefore, some speakers are featured on their own or in collaborated videos, I don't hold the views of those who are deviant. I support pure Islam {which is the essence of Monotheism}, the truth, justice and implementation of this profound guidance from the creator to sharing it with the world, and this is the function behind the site.
I do take the time to verify what I post and Allahu alim khairan mini... jazakuallah khair eelayk.

A little more about me |
Ever since my younger years, i have never really fit into any group other than the jocks for my physical athleticism...But unlike most Jocks, I have always been inclined to mental task, intellectually tickled by deep ponder. My mother also pushed me in areas of reading books, reading music/playing of the piano, ancient study of calligraphy (writing of Semitic Language Letters in a beautiful artistic manner). In addition, she always offered deep conversations about life and a type of metaphorical expression into understanding people {psychology} through her own experiences & day to day life. (There's an ancient Islamic practice called Firassa, which is understanding someone by looking deeply into the person demeanor and face). My grandparents especially my grandmother {on mothers side who is native-American Cherokee region of Georgia her name was “Birdie”} and the other elders I grew up with also possessed such insight, which they would share with me by talking to me like they spoke among st themselves educating me to think deeply. Perhaps it was because my grandfather {also mother side} was from West Indies Haiti (from white census takers we went from Indian to colored, to african-American to now black which is a color not a nationality; I know who I am with records and by knowing growing up we are an aboriginal people native to the Americas also on fathers side); a Minister (grandfather) and community leader I remember listening to him speak, and I was his first grandchild after my mother fled the south; attending college for two years, she moved north to live with her older cousin whom was married living not far from my father's childhood home.
I can still remember him (grandfather) sitting me on his knee, something young men get a lot out of in terms of respect when older men do so. He too would gather me to his favorite sitting chair and speak to me for a long time or until my grandmother would interrupt him to get more of my attention and smother me with her snuff smelling kisses...He would say many things that I have lived to understand...If anyone knows anything about the people of the South 2 or 3 generations ago, is the undying hospitality and sincerity of their characters. Faith poured out on the tongue in everything they spoke about and they struggled to give their off-spring better than what they had...Thus my grandparents have such deeply rooted faith, perhaps their supplications have reached me as I’m fully awake towards worldly deceptions. One such thing I also remember is his “red-letter bible”. The bible that had everything in the New Testament ascribed to what Jesus (a.s) was saying in red letters. In this bible the name “Ahmad” short for Muhammad was still present from Jesus’s own prophecy of the prophet to come after him, but has now been altered to say, “comforter” instead; as well as the destruction of these bibles...It would be my involvement in the American wars in the Middle East that would connect all the dots. Of course, I'm not a Psyche or claim too understand the unseen in relationship to firassat; however, I do understand this science of firassat well, and I have relied upon it intuitively in times when I was estranged among people at home or abroad, to trust my inclinations in order to feel secure in my surroundings. I mention that to give you the reader something of my character and what has aspired me throughout life...On the contrary, I’m not seeking to validate myself as a leader ahead of Allah’s will nor self-accreditation, instead I see myself as a someone who cherishes life knowing how important it is for the truth to re-emerge. I have always asked questions, listen deeply and or ponder over things that are conveyed to me in manners of truth, logic and common sense reasoning. I don’t have a Protestant view of reducing understanding merely to just text, but delving deeper into the patterns, symbolism, and parallels of parables in their deeper unfolding wisdoms. I’ve never been a follower, and I most often question authority, because I can see the hypocrisy in it...how it often applies on the masses and frees the privileged. Among the gifts given man are his/her intellect in understanding through reason & contemplation, but very few people today subjugate the information they receive with intellectual scrutiny... As time went on and my travels begin the world opened up to me in a way that has kept me locked into perpetual travels unable to break the craving nor the necessity. Science, Math, World History/Religion have always been my favorite subjects...Of the 3 World-History peaks my curiosity the most. Dramatically distorted often with deliberate motives, one has to desperately seek the truth with on going effort, because you'll find that one door doesn't open to the vast cache of missing information, but rather one door leads to another then to another and so on to what seems like endless treasure hunt with infinite trues that surpass our given life spans all the way back to the beginning of humanity... |
Trained in the sciences of engineering and now a student of knowledge Islamic studies with deep concentrations on the field of psychology with an even greater interest in neuroscience; I have now turned my life towards the pursuit of seeking knowledge...Without getting overly personal about my personal life because the world functions in a much more sinister & covert manner; I share bits and pieces of myself in everything I write. I'm catering to a wide audience and so I try to offer something for everyone...Other Muslims might question the utilization of music, poetry, and non-Muslims sources in research, but making no excuses for the Halal & Haram (permissible or prohibited) its used to bring non-Muslims people closer to what they today may reject or be unaware of.
At the end of the day I'm Muslim...I Love the person that I'm still growing into becoming, the sweet taste of faith, and the gems that have been unlocked through personal pursuit of purpose. Some of the pages I share are catered to a younger audience in effort to raise awareness while others are for everybody regardless of age, gender, or race...In addition, I would like to defend myself in stating that I'm NOT PROMOTING EXTREMISM in any way, Although “Extremism” is subject to what side of the coin you stand...
”Extremism is falsehood, Injustice, etc. or Extremism is Truth, Justice etc.” In order to stomp out one or the other you need an equal or exceeding amount...I’m promoting “Truth” offering political and spiritual truth in an effort to upgrade and change humanities illnesses of injustice. So call it or see it as you will. Islam has the cure for ALL problems in the Earth.
Very passionate towards pushing truth, and working towards the eradication of all the lies and systematic mechanisms put in place to oppress the masses of the people (especially Muslims & people of color).
I want to personally thank anyone who has visited my site/follow(ing) me and I hope that the Creator will always bestow upon me the effort and the abilities to keep sharing with you. Until that day comes that I know longer pick up the pen or he blesses me to stand among believers and give my life..., know that education is the key and this information holds the keys to your freedoms.
