﷽ As-Salâmu ‘Alaykum wa Raĥmatullâhi wa Barakâtuh (^_^), MINI ME ~ An Empowered Empath: My energy revolves around heart healing and my personal values: graceful self-growth, creative expression and functional learning. I'm all about transparency, congruency, truth, fairness and kindness. I believe in prevention over treatment, – ‘A dirham of prevention is better than a wealth of cure.’ – possibility over hope, dancing with discomfort, embracing fear and gracious gratitude over complaints (a luxury in and of itself). I'm also an insatiable bibliophile and otaku. Jazâkum Allâhu Khairan for YOUR valuable time (*^_^*). Healing Regards (^_^)

Poem ☁️ Vacant Tolerance ~ Reframing Perspectives

‘Malicious generalisations about Islam have become the last acceptable form of denigration of foreign culture in the West; what is said about the Muslim mind, or character, or religion, or culture as a whole cannot now be said in mainstream discussion about Africans, Jews, other Orientals, or Asians.’ ~ The Late Edward Said

A NEW EID POEM

{. . . To Allâh belongs the command [i.e., decree] before and after. And that day the believers will rejoice. In the victory of Allâh. He gives victory to whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful. [It is] the promise of Allâh. Allâh does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know.}

(30:04-06)

Poem ☁ The Sleeping Poet Awakens

What are words, rhymes and verses good for?
When we don’t live by them but ephemerally
We get lost in the poetic flow of similes and metaphors
With the message stirring an emotion only temporarily
