Tricks of a Muhsin #1- Just Duck!
So it is one of those days. You are tired, your spouse is exhausted. The boss has been a pain, the children are about to devour each other. Doors have slammed. Food has burned. There is an inexplicable sticky patch in your kitchen from some mystery, sugary substance that seems to have traveled all over […]
The Tale of One Fasting Woman
July 16, 2013
In a corner of the States. Near a beautiful masjid, lives a woman who had a remarkable Ramadan experience. You might not think it was extraordinary in any way but it filled her heart to the brink, shook her soul to the core, and renewed her eman. Ramadan had started the normal way. Shaytaan on […]
What is Sabr?
January 20, 2013
Is it succulent and sweet? The deep night, In whose soft shadows I worship, And weep. … Is it lip-biting and white-knuckled? Silently I grip the keys, To my house in Paradise. Because Allah knows I am right. … Is it resilient restraint? Persistence through the perilous days, Of insidious whispers, That I refuse to […]
Fond Memories
November 23, 2012
Originally posted at Habibi Halqas http://www.habibihalaqas.org/2012/10/fond-memories.html Bismillah Memories do not wilt like flowers.

The Fall
October 8, 2012
I fell because I did not listen to my Mom. She said don’t go ice skating and I did. It doesn’t matter that she is 36,000 miles away. An order is an order. And it doesn’t matter how old I get, respect and obedience are still due. The result was a nasty slip, a fractured […]

Seeking Sabr (Patience)
February 15, 2012
Anger doesn’t just happen. Like a pot of water put to boil, It starts with a hiss. Like a sharp intake of breath. Little bubbles of fury form Deep down, inside the pot. And erupt slowly to the surface. Steam clouds reason. Swirls squirm out of control. As the eyes roll, The rolling boil contorts […]

October 30, 2011
The scented breezes of Mecca and Madinah, accompanied by the Azan that sears the heart as it sears the sky, and the pulsating multitudes of the believers leaves an indelible mark on the heart. Indeed the Hajj is an uplifting as well as an excruciating experience. It is a trip of physical as well as […]
Love the Libas
October 14, 2011
http://www.suhaibwebb.com/relationships/marriage-family/spouse/love-the-libas-clothing/ The beauty of this perfect deen that Allah has blessed us with is in its details. There is an intricate system of protection for the personal space of the believing man and the believing woman.

The Final Exam
June 15, 2011
The students trudge slowly into the exam room. Some faces are weary from sleepless nights, while others are full of dread. They take out their pens and brace for the papers to be handed out. Some make silent prayers while others bargain with God, “Please let it be easy. If You make me do well […]
