Hold Fast

Quranic domain
Forested pain
cruel musical ambience
sweet musical nasheed
I love you for the sake of Allah
even with the orphan child
by your side
in His hand

You're struggling
-- hold fast

Keep out of the woods
& Allah knows best

Separate?

You cannot separate the sacred from the mundane. Each thing has the essence of Al-Khaaliq, and they act as one. Neither can contravene the other, and in each the other can be found.

night of faith (clear intention)
-- 1st wudu, then salat.
A feeling of having done this
same thing in a time before

Masha'Allah, not again

What do you see?

People think the Quran is all about religious laws and social customs and antiquated stories, with a mystical side as well.

In truth, the Quran is entirely sacred. But when a believer cannot perceive the sacred, all you see are religious laws and antiquated stories.

Words of Faith

a tribute to Syed Qutb

Lived words

lifeless
barren
passionless

With death they spring
to life in the hearts of the
dead making them --

Lived words

A = t

There is no truth about Allah (swt).
Allah (swt) is Truth.

There is no one who learns Truth.
The believer becomes Truth.

There is no need to search for Truth.
You have inherited it and it is within you.

You need only learn peace
to fully grasp your inheritance.

Moment of Peace
as the slave
attracted to the Light
like a moth
to the flame

A child's first trip
to the masjid

That moment of Peace
