A walk to remember…

Life is not without its moments of darkness, when it seems the sun will never shine again, when life seems empty and you are lost, in search of the unknown, cloaked in malaise. But with faith, its all healed. The pieces fall into place, locked with each other, the integrated bits all make sense. The [...]

Loving faithfully

Its a comforting cold.
The biting wind welcomed graciously.
I sit upon my grassy hill, 
My thoughts floating freely. 
I think of Him, my everything.
They grey mass gives way
And Im cloaked in His warmth.
In everything I do,
Everything I see and feel.
He is there.
My love for Him so great.
The feelings so hard to describe.
There will never be words sufficient
To express [...]

Happiness is all that matters

Its uncharacteristic for me to hate, but sometimes I am engaged in a fleeting moment of the emotion, catalysed by thoughts of a painful moment in my life. And then the  time comes when I realize that I’m not such a person, to hold so much ill-feelings towards a person that I actually hate them. [...]

Falling in love…

I fell in love today, in love with life and all the opportunities that awaits me. Im suspended in dreamy clouds of happiness. I forgot what it was like to be out with such great, wonderful people, surrounded by the beauty of Allah. His handiwork and miracles visible in everything that you look at. It [...]

The one that made me smile

He rang my doorbell, and greeted me pleasantly. In the coolness of the night, he strode towards me, singing into the darkness. The parcel was delivered and he turned his back towards me. His large frame slowly becoming smaller as he walked off into the distance. He exuded a peace, a happiness. He was content [...]

I’m at the point in my life where I realize that life is better off the way it is. People enter and leave our lives for a reason, we learn, we grow, we change. Theres so much I look back upon, wondering why. I will never know the answers, and maybe I’m not supposed to [...]

Melancholic moods

I love rain, but when it goes on for too long and the sun fails to make its appearance, then it can be downright depressing. Or maybe its just that too much is going on right now. It seems that stress is contagious, and I have definitely caught the bug. I’ve been thinking a lot [...]

Crossing paths with an imbecile

My usual calm being was infuriated by a guy who I shall call “II”- Incompetent Imbecile (I quote from the 1994 movie, Richie Rich. One of my favourites back then.” This is a cappuccino. I asked for a DECAF CAFFE LATTE, you incompetent imbecile!”). I’m working on an article and use Facebook as a [...]

Don’t live your life saying “if only”

I absolutely love the early mornings, and today was no different. I sat in the dining room, dipping my homemade rusk into my daily after-Fajr morning cup of coffee. I sat in solitude and looked at the sky, embracing a new day. What I would have loved at that moment was to grab my jacket [...]

Recipient unknown

To the one I care about, but know I should not. You came into my life uninvited. There were times when I hated you being there. An obligation I had to fulfill, until the time passed and came to a halt. Sleepless nights and endless thoughts. Prayers and confusion. Why did you come, when you [...]
