THE ONE

By -


Who is termed dogmatic for believing in the unseen
Who is proclaimed misguided for the path he choose to follow
Who is said to be “out of fashion” for obeying his lord

Who abstained from eating not for lack of appetite but in obedience and piety
Who is seen walking through the surface of the earth in humility
Who is found restraining anger when it surfaces

To whom fornication seems alluring but chooses to abstain
To whom his lord is dearer than all
To whom jannah is dearer than the duniya
To whom his lord’s book is important than any encyclopedia

Whose head hangs low, at the sight of the opposite sex
Whose night is spent standing in prayer with love, fear and hope
Whose prophet sunna is better than societal norm

Whose tongue and lips are moistened and lightened with the remembrance of his lord
Whose dressing do not exceed the limits ordained
Whose favourite tune is the athan

IS TODAY

Laughing in return to the jesters on raised couches
Putting on garment not comparable to those of the duniya
Drinking from fountains and springs

Eating fruits with endless seasons
Closest to his lord as promised
Granted a pardoning request by his lord for he used to forgive
Sitting on thrones woven with gold and precious stones

Having as wives, females with lovely eyes like unto preserved pearls
Greeted with the saying of peace
Under the protective shade of his lord
Saved from the wailing and distress of the great day
Drinking pure sealed non-intoxicating wine.

THE FAIR FULL MOON

By -
Tonight as I gazed at the moon in its full, I can’t but praise the one and only who placed such a fair, gentle and warm body in the sky. I wished I could move closer to it and look even more at its beauty but suddenly this wish changed as I remembered the one who is brighter than the sun and fairer than the moon- Rosulullah(s.a.w). I long to meet him, do you? May Allah(s.w.t) unite us by his mercy with our Nabi(s.a.w). From the desk of a creative Muslim Abdultoyyib ibn Musediq

GENDER EQUALITY AS A BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN BOTH GENDERS

By -
This topic for an argument is as null and void, in my opinion, as some other topics that we would debate over in school examples of which includes ‘boys are better than girls’, ‘farmers are better and doctors’, etc. In an argument like ‘farmers are better than doctors’, what differentiation are we trying to make between the farmers and the doctors? With what do we intend to raise the status of the farmers over the doctors? The farmers have their role to play and a contribution to make in the development process just like the doctors, at some point some of these roles are the same while at other points the differ from one another. Both personalities are needed and we really can’t do with just one of them without the other- the doctors to cater for our health and the farmer to help in producing food for the increasing population alongside other civic duties. Similarly, both genders have their role to play in societal, national and global development. However, some of these roles ar...

TECHNOLOGICAL DELUSION

By -
With the advancement in technology, one would expect life becoming easier, people becoming more efficient but reverse seems to be the case, the invention of mobile devices like Smartphones   that were suppose to increase people’s efficiency is having a negative impact on (some of) them, we have people becoming more lazy, useful times that could be spent on developmental issues are wasted on mobile phones on not-so-important issues like chatting, downloading, uploading, reading unnecessary post, etc. If you interpret this to mean that social networking is bad, you’re wrong. Chatting of course is a cheap means of   connecting people, what I am saying is that for a youth, spending too much time on this could be destructive especially when it begins to distract one from the original purpose of his/her existence(the worship of Allah(s.w.t)) or one gets addicted to it. Never has the use of social media been an indispensable criterion for success. We have youths who can’t even...
