Impermanence

I have come to a point where I realize how temporary everything is. There have been things that I thought would be a permanent in my life but things can change within one instant. Is it a bad thing? For the most part, yes. You can have somebody is the closest to you, a person you speak with every day and within one day, you can lose them forever. When I moved to California, I thought that I was going to be living there indefinitely; I did not think that I would ever move back to Virginia but a little bit over two years later, I was back. I thought that I would always want to keep my house here in Oak Hill, VA but I am so okay with moving out of it.

All of this scares me so much, how little control we have in our lives. We have to remember that Allah (swt) controls everything, there is not a thing out His control. This life is temporary, every moment that we have in one that we will never have again so make the most of it.

The Beauty of Brotherhood in Islam

Last night I went to the Masjid to help be part of a youth program that links middle school kids to high schoolers to college kids. Then I met up with someone who was helping me land a job in the IT field. He was teaching me the basics of IT security that I need to know for interviews. Afterwards, we prayed Isha and I was about to head out buy saw a friend who is still in high school. I know his older brother and asked about him. He told me that his brother was at a halaqa and that I should go. I asked how he was getting home and he said he needed a ride so I happily offered one. I said that I was hungry so I was going to get some food on the way back. His brother then called me when I was nearing the drive through saying that there is food at the persons house he was at and that we should come by. We arrived and to my amazement, there were about 15 brothers barbecuing chicken, hot dogs, burgers and kabobs. I felt bad showing up like that but as soon as I walked in, I ...

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

People want to be rich, it's a given fact. Even if you aren't materialistic or shallow, I am confident that every single person wants to be wealthy if for nothing else, so that they can life comfortably. The wealthy/rich people tend to have more fun in their lives; what does their life consist of? A lot of parties, alcohol, probably drugs and sex. They have disposable income so it's easy for them to attain all of these things. I am sure doing these things and having that lifestyle is fun but it's one of those things that you get tired of. I strongly believe that the rich have a social responsibility to be the 'good examples.' Now wealthy people are stereotyped, they are shown to have big and clean homes, listen to classical music, dress properly, etc., these are the good things that lifestyle brings. The problem arises when life is all about having fun with your money and living life like it's one big party. The more money you have, the more good you should...

The Re-invention

Here we go. I used to blog a little bit on MySpace but stopped using that and Facebook 'Notes' counts as a simple blog but I wanted something independent from my other social networking sites. I thought about blogging if I moved back to California but living on the west coast is a distant thought, something that may never come to fruition and that's okay. So where do we begin? My life has been so unpredictable since I moved back home to Virginia in August of 2009. For several months, I was so angry and so frustrated at my failures. I moved to California hoping to start over new there but I made a lot of the same old mistakes which resulted in me not going to the colleges I had worked so hard to go to. Living there was a changing experience, one that really opened my eyes to a different world. I have many regrets there but I learned from my decisions. Just over one year ago at this time, things changed. I found a reason to genuinely be happy again. Actually, I was happier th...
