beautifulqalb asked: Naseem, I love you. I mean that in the most halal way possible but seriously, I do. I think it's impossible not to actually. You are such a beautiful person yourself so having you say something so kind and go so far as to say that I in any way have made you want to be a better person is really .. beyond words. YOU make me want to be a better person with the constant humbleness, respect and...

Bismillahir rahmanir rahim

Am I ranting?
When boys stop treating their wives like servants, live sex dolls or punching bags then they will become men. Not much pisses me off (I hate being angry) but someone claiming to be a Muslim man then turning around and treating his wife like a servant is one thing I can’t stand. I grew up in a house where my father respected my mom and vice versa then when my dad passed I was shown a...
Reminder..
Islam guarantees woman’s right to enjoy her husband to the extent that it even tells the husband not to spend all his time in worship, which is the best and most honorable of deeds, lest the balance and equilibrium upon which this religion is based be disturbed. We see this in the report of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aî (R.A.A), who says that when the Prophet (S.A.W.) learned of his...

Anonymous asked: "You cannot build, in your mind, some romantic picture of him ALWAYS scattering roses on your bed or comforting you by means of his touch.

Cleaning out the closet..
Today is the first day I’ve been brave.. or stupid enough to start going through my mother’s things and cleaning out the house. It’s interesting how you can convince yourself you’re okay until you are forced to face what you’ve been avoiding. Don’t get me wrong, I came to terms with her not being here anymore but I don’t think I gave myself a chance to...

partytilfajr:
Dear Rumi “fans,”
When Rumi writes about “love,” he’s talking about God, not about what you feel for the guy who won’t return your texts.
Sincerely,
A frustrated Osama who hates reading Rumi books in public now.
I get really confused when people explain the validity of Hadith by quoting a Hadith.
If you’re speaking to someone that doesn’t trust the compilation of Hadith passed down from one person to another, why would you try to make a point by using those same things?
