Ahh, if only my handwriting were that lovely!

Following Abu Ilyas‘, Kawla’s and a bunch of others’ advice/recommendation, I’ve decided to move my blog to wordpress.com. I’ll still keep this up anyway and who knows, if it gets its super fix, I might just move back! (You reckon pigs could fly then too, Brain?)

For now, please check out my new blog:
http://ummpaper.wordpress.com

Of course I couldn’t get editor.wordpress.com. Sigh. :P

Gentlemen, update your blogroll! Yes, ladies too. I was just saying it the Daytona arcade game way. Those were the days!

Just another dark moment…

Let the star shoot itself
Across my sky of loneliness
That bright light is myself
Flailing before your indifferent holiness

Let the river overrun its course
Through my hopeless valley
That strong flow has me as its source
Throwing red herrings where you hurry

Let the clouds cast its long shadow
On my gloomy garden
The grey skies represent my low
Seeking desperately your appeasement

Let the dry breeze blow gently
Upon the brown leaves crumbling
That mute wind signals my failure
As I watch till invisible, you fading

Let the whole of me talk to you still
For perhaps the very last time
Your death has had me killed
But you continue to live on, while I pay for your crime.

Lisa Ahé.

One day, a $1 note and a $50 note sat together in a wallet…

$1: Hey, good to see you, where’d you go yesterday?
$50: Oh, you know, the usual. I went to some club, the shopping mall, a fancy restaurant, the works. <pause> $1, you look kinda sad, what’s wrong?
$1: Oh, I was just thinking about what an exciting time you had. Lucky you.
$50: Hmm. Where’d you go then?
$1: The usual too for me. The masajid, some charity event, an orphanage, etc.

I just had to return with a bang of a joke! Funny, eh? And therein lies a good lesson too…

O you who believe! Spend of the good things which you have (legally) earned, and of that which We have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) you would not accept it save if you close your eyes and tolerate therein. And know that Allah is Rich (Free of all wants), and Worthy of all praise.
[al-Qur'an 2:267]

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend of that which you love.
[al-Qur'an 3:92]
