Ameen Posted November 19, 2006 Assalam alaikum to all After finding myself on this site (and don’t ask how I found it, cause I really don’t know) I've had the chance to read the different comments and opinions of all your work. In saying that, I know you got skills to find the words that follow each other and thus create a "rhyme" or in my other words, a masterpiece. So share your experiences, observations or your school of thought. May Allah have mercy on us all. And Allah knows best P.S. It’s only fair that I start it off, so from the top of my head, here I go (inshallah); The story of the ignorant life, lead to the destructions of civilizations that have been silenced by death. The mothers’ sadden heart caused by abundant stress, pouring out tears, fearing for her children’s destination on the day of distress. We find ourselves caught between, a fitnah and a sin or a “catch-twenty two” We can’t possible up and leave, yet we are neglecting our abilities to read. Do you really think the ignorant will actually succeed? Don’t be fooled by those given excessive wealth, as they cause mischief and are overtaken with pride their sealed up hearts realize, they will soon find their place of rest. The Quran states, those are the dwellers of the fire. Could I enter junnah for helping that lady change her tire? I wish I could ransom myself and become “dust”. Word in advice, it’s better for you to remain as the outcast if it will prevent you from making the same mistakes as those from the past They were arrogant and proud, selfish, corrupt and in denial. They forgot their duties, now they are in a state of worry Seeking help and mercy from whom else, other than Him whom they refused Have you ever seen those who stand over graves and start to cry, yet they neglect and derive themselves of the ultimate prize the admission to the place of peace and security with no emotional rides.

Ameen Posted November 23, 2006 Assalam alaikum, Here is my ideal life, if only Allah had decreed it for me, but in any case… Alhamdullilah, Allah has blessed me by making me a Muslim and favoring me with the remembrance of My Lord. My Ideal Life with my Ideal Companions: Part 1 The neighboring house belonged to Umar ibn al-Khattaab and I would sit and patiently wait for him to come out, before I gave him my salaams and watched him as he walked off and about. I would spend my mornings in the hot fields of Medina, learning from the warrior himself, Khalid Ibn Al-Walid. I would follow my intense training by traveling to the southern part of the city, to the house of Anas Ibn Malik. He would teach us about adaab and share stories from the Prophet (saw). Our hearts over-taken with light and our eyes with tears, We wished we were among those whom the Prophet placed under his care. From the distance, we would hear the call of the adaan by Bilal, whose heart was firm with solid emaan. On arrival to the masjid, the lines were formed, and the salat had began. It was Abu Bakr who led us and read from the beautiful words of the Quran. After the salat, we would sit and remember Allah with the exception of a few Bedouins, who would up and run. I would look around for Ibn Abaas, he was indeed my best of friends. I would stare at him in amazement, as I witnessed his growing knowledge of the Quran After the sunnah salat and the departure of our khaleefah Abu Bakr, and the ever fearful Umar ibn al-Khattaab, I would sit in the company of Ali, Zayd, Ibn Umar and Ibn Abaas as we would listen to Ibn Mas’ood talk about the pleasures of Junnah. This ever-close to our heart topic, would cause those whom Allah had blessed to depart and to their needs from their wives. While those who were left behind, sat and sought from the Great Bounty belonging to Allah. And Allah knows best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
