Who Am I?

For those who just started to follow me or came upon this blog by chance, let me give you a short bio of myself. I am half Arabic and half American. I grew up in a relatively American household and everything that goes along with those implications, holidays, practices etc. I never knew who are Beloved Prophet was nor did I know what Islam stood for. I grew up on Disney Channel and trying to follow the American culture. Only until recently, have I met my Arabic side of the family.My mother always told me there was One God, but thats as far as my religiousity went.  At the age of 16, I became interested in Islam. I went to community college at 17 and got involved in the MSA's. I was blessed to live in a Islamic community and was able to learn and distinguish what Islam stood for.  I am currently 21, married and have a child.

I haven't posted in quite a while, March of last year to be exact. However I have noticed that people still come and view my posts, Al-Hamdulilah. I don't really have anything in particular to post about. For me, I've been reading The Stories/Lives of the Prophets (peace be upon them all) in between Farah taking naps. My one in a half year old, going on twelve ;). Watching videos on YouTube, the usual. Not much of an update really. I don't have as much time as I want to dedicate to this blog or Islamic literature/lectures. However If anyone wants me to write about something in particular, or would like me to blog about certain things. Please shoot me a comment under this post. I would be more than happy to oblige. If it wasn't for the fact people come and read my posts, I would continue to be a silent blogger, just coming here on occasion. So If you want me to come out of hiding, let me know :-)!


JazakAllah Khairan Ya'll!

  2. Subhanallah. It's beautiful the way Allah guides people to the straight path. I was living a similar life (westernized culture) and didn't really care/know much about this beautiful deen. I had no idea how much I was missing out. I thank Allah for guiding us to right the path and make dua' that the whole ummah wakes up understand the reality which is Islam. Everyone is deceived by this materialistic world. Even since the death of the prophet (saw) and the four khalifhas, Islam and emaan has been on a decline, but for the first time, I'm seeing a revival of it. The revival of Islam will not be from Pakistan, Saudi a Arab, or any other Muslim country IMO, it'll be from the west. Youth are discovering this religion and spreading it little by little. I see great people being born in the west giving amazing lectures/khutbas on youtube. I thank you for blogging these amazing posts. Please keep them coming.
