Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Raheem.


My Amazing Umrah,
ma sha Allah!

Alhamdolillah. All praise is for Allah, Who permitted His slave to travel across the earth, Who provided for him who had no means and no power of his own. May He Forgive the mistakes of His slave and reduce the harm of them. And may He be pleased with His slave, and increase the good of his good deeds. Ameen.


The Holy Masjid in Makkah, no place holier! Picture from Hajj 1426 (January, 2006)

independence for all

wednesday 4:15 pm Karachi

no fireworks. but did you ever notice how beautiful the date palm is? and see how its fronds cascade? they remind me of the way big puffy fireworks expand. but the beauty of the tree is more enduring than a flash of light or a puff of smoke.

and a muslim is like the date palm tree according to the Prophet sull Allaho alayhi wa sallam. coincidentally, it is only in Islam that a person finds true independence. for all of creation is dependent on its Maker. thus all other concepts of independence are based on an illusion, a flash of light, a mere smokescreen.

so, independence day is the day you submit fully to Allah.
