The Fruit is not only for me and you...



In the name of Allah (swt) the most gracious the merciful, the one who gave us the strength and ability to walk and talk, to see and to hear, to smell and taste and to touch all the bounties he has blessed our helpless creation with… Allah (swt) is truly the one who sustains us and allows us to communicate. Allah (swt) is the one who gives us provisions and has total control over every breath we take and will take if Allah (swt) wills.
The hills that surround us and the mountains around us are all the creations of the one and only Allah (swt). The waters deep and dark and every tree with its finest detailed bark are the creations of the most high and praised Allah (swt). The birds flap above the ground and the smiles and childish frowns are of the creations of Allah (swt). Would you deny the times you cry that the one you praised never saved you? How can it be the creator of you and I never left you to die… Then will you deny Allah (swt) holds up the sky?...We have the truth why are we tripping…

We have the lottery ticket and we have the key to Paradise…why are we denying the favors Allah (swt) has blessed us with…Life is short to waste…Alhamdulillah today I met up with a brother who converted just an hour after I met him…Allah (swt) guides whom he wills…2 days prior to this incident another person on the train accepted the truth from myself and another brother… People are coming to the truth in large numbers on a daily basis… we are forgetting our purpose and holding off the Dawah…

Our life is short and our message is clear, welcoming and sweet then why are we holding on to the truth in our hearts? Is it shame or is it selfishness? We will have to answer sooner or later… the people of the west are hungry and craving for the truth…why are we not sharing our treasures? Why are we ashamed of our truth? O the people of truth let us fear not for the ones who spread the truth will enter gardens for eternity and this is a promise from Allah (swt)… Let us be amongst those Allah (swt) the most honored mentions in his Book as the ones who arise to enjoin others to follow what is right….

“Let there arise from among you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong. They are the ones to attain felicity.” [Quran 3: 104]

O the speakers and followers of the truth…why are we hiding…have we not hidden these gems enough already? Are we not the ones depriving the craving souls of the sweetness we feel? Are we not starving the already starved? What is it that we want? O the workers of the truth let us not talk excessively but let us spread this fruit like it is meant to be spread…O the ones who bow down in piety let us not die with this truth in our heart alone but let us share it with ever soul we see… let us Invite to the way of Allah (swt)

Invite all to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching And argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knows best who has strayed from His Path and who receives guidance. [Quran, 16: 125]


O my brethren we have the truth let us spread it before the dust of the grave is spread over us… May Allah (swt) forgive us, forgive us for nothing but watching them stray away from Islam…Ameen

Not a leaf falls, but He knows it... [6:59]

One thinks we can hide our sins from the eye of the public however Allah (swt) knows what is in the hearts. I decided to write about a situation that occurred to me the last Jummah of Ramadan. The day was sweet and quiet I really believed that it was Lailatul Qadr just by seeing how fresh the day had started. I was taking the Go bus back from university and was waiting for the bus I take at square one via home. I decided that since it was Ramadan I might as well bust out my mushaf and read Surah Kahaf on the spot… the bus was coming in about 15 minutes and when it’s Jummah and Ramadan the schedule is kind of tight and I had to go for a family iftar that day. I started to read when to the corner of my eye I could see a girl leaning on a guy while they were making out. I thought to myself, here I am reading the words of Allah (swt) and these non-muslims are smooching up…Well I was wrong to my surprise they both saw me and turned facing me and I recognized both faces from the Masjid… The sister who I knew from a long time who wears a Hijab was not wearing a Hijab and the brother whose father I know from the masjid was just red in the face looking at me… the sister took a few seconds to recognize me because I now have a beard and then she kinda hid behind the brother and she comes from a very respected family in the community…
Subhanllah I was thinking these people on a Jummah in Ramadan at a Public bus stop in Square 1 making out and the sister not wearing her Hijab…I was thinking how sick can one be and how much can one lower ones heart to the point of almost leaving this religious out of lust truly one top of that in public “stupidity” …These individuals weren’t smart enough to hide it but even if they did Allah (swt) would know what is in there hearts and they did it in public so now I know the sin they committed I know about…I believe that you can hide from the people but you cant hide from Allah (swt)…Oh People of the beautiful path we are being hit with enemies from within our hearts lets fight and move them out… I don’t know how much more a Muslim sister and brother can lower themselves but that was enough for me..

This deen came to clean the dirty, This deen came to bring purpose to life, To bring truth to life, To bring justice, harmony and security. This deen came to abolish slavery from the evil cancers the western media infiltrates our innocent youth with… This deen came to revive the thugs, This deen came to help us not to oppress us…This deen came to cleanse the heart of its evil and This deen came with the most pure of creation Muhammad (Saw) with amazing women like Ummul Momineen Ayesha Siddiqui (RA)... We have left this deen for our desires... our desires will fade but our actions will not..

Our heart will stop but its deeds will not, our book will dry but its words wont erase... you can hide from the human eye but you can’t hide from Allah (swt) The all aware the powerful, the giver and taker of life... The death is a reality what more proof does one need?...”Every soul shall taste death” what more convincing of death does one need?...Hold on to the deen and try your best not to sin...because all sin will be accounted for and Allah (swt) knows what is in the hearts of man and in the heavens and in the earth not a leaf falls but he knows it, He is all aware, all powerful and all praise is only for him...May Allah (swt) forgive us and save us all Amen.
"Whether ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth. And Allah has power over all things.” Al-Imran

Fa Man Tashabaha Be Qowmin Fahuwa Minhum

In the Name of Allah the most merciful. The creators of the heavens and earth, and the giver and taker of Life. Alhamdulillah this week has been amazing. School is going well and I have been doing well overall Alhamdulillah. I have been sad of the fact that Ramadan is gone but Alhamdulillahi ala kuli haaal the test kicks in now.

I have been reading this book it’s called “Fa man tashabah be qowmin fahuwa minhum” ("WHOEVER IMITATES A GROUP THEN HE IS FROM AMONGST THEM")Alhamdulillah I finished it today. Its really scary how much we follow away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (Saw) but yeah is was totally a wake up call other then that everything’s pretty much the same. Inshallah I’m hoping to get the youth at the Masjid this Friday night or maybe even Saturday night and me and the brothers are putting together a nice program Inshallah. However currently things are just up in the air for now. Alahmdulillah we got about 60 guys now that are ready to come out so it should be pretty chilling Inshallah we can take up to 60 for now we just want to start small but that’s whats up for now…

I have to speak at an Eid Dinner tomorrow and I have no idea what I’m going to talk about so yeah that’s kind of what’s on my mind. Inshallah something always comes to mind. I’m thinking of “Ramadan is gone so now what?” But Allah (Swt) knows best I tend to never keep my thoughts for more then a few days. Inshallah this Qiyam I’m thinking for the entertainment session to make another comedy movie but Inshallah ill think of something soon… I was thinking like a Nasheed musical its kind of different never really been attempted before…but yeah…I just kinda think the stand up comedy thin 3 Qiyams in a row has been amazing so we need some change…Inshallah its just a way that the brothers can come to the masjid Friday night and not be at a club…Alhamdulillah its been going well…

Allah (Swt) is just blessing us Alhamdulillah…other then that just make Dua…If your reading this jazkhallah khair I appreciate it … take care and make Dua…I will Inshallah post Tomorrows speech up so I can get some feedback…anyways ignore the trillion spelling mistakes….

Walsalama alaiakauam

P.S: Please Make Dua for my Friends Father he had a surgery may Allah (Swt) make it easy on him and his family. Ameen
