#14 - What do you strive for?
Jannah (Paradise) is depicted in the holy Quran to be a heavenly place of joy and bliss. Allah s.b.t has promised His believers a Heaven that is of a luscious cool garden with running streams of unlimited food and heavenly wine.

#15 - One sentence to sum things up
These past few weeks have been nothing more than a piece of shit and each day keeps getting much more shittier.

#13 - When do you draw the line?
Last October, my good friend Umar posted his two cents worth in a lengthy Facebook note on the notion of Muslims celebrating Halloween and how it is not encouraged by Islam due to its conflicting beliefs.

#8 - Faith and Politics
Here is a video from youtube of the leaked execution by hanging of the dethroned leader Saddam Hussein in 2006. It really saddens me every single time i watch this video knowing of all the shit that Saddam had to go through counting down to the days of his apparant death.

#7 - So this is what personal responsibilities mean.
Strange. Once upon a time, i was well taken care of financially by my parents such that i do not feel the strain of having to constrict my expenses for the greater good.
