O Muslims. Take Heed. Take Action. NOW.

What on Earth is going on here?!

8 years. 8 years. Barbar Ahmed has been detained without trial. 

I'm shocked. I'm also fuming to see so few signatures on the e-petition for our innocent brother Barbar Ahmed. Do we really care about what happens to him? Have we really done anything to help his case? If you one of those that do care. And that you are aware that you will be questioned by Allah when you were made aware of this and you ignored an innocent brothers' perseucation and that you will be questioned - What did you do? Ask yourself now. What will you answer?

Here is the template for the petition. Print-out as many as you can:

1. You can get signatures from your local Mosque after Jummah salah.
2. You can print out several copies of the template and leave them in your local shops, barbers, etc.
3. You can even contact ISOCs and get them to run a campaign like 'JUSTICE WEEK' for Barber Ahmed.

Sign the e petition yourself:

Imagine if he was your blood brother? What lengths would you go to, to help set him free?

''Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the servant aids his brother." [Muslim]

I realise the state of the Ummah is bad. Really bad, But this takes the cake. There are over 3 million Muslims in the UK. And we're unable to get a measley 100,000 signatures that literally takes seconds? Allahu Akbar. 

We would rather waste hours on Facebook/YouTube instead. And we wonder why we're oppressed. FIX UP. 

Dear Readers, respected brothers and sisters. Please, do your bit. Post it on your blog. Send it to your friends and family. Lets help our brother in dire need.

Meet The Siblings

After a 4 hour drive with my sister yesterday we met the the siblings, well most of them. 2 brothers, 2 sisters, the sister in-law and two brother in laws. The nephew too.

After 5.5 hours we left their house to trek back home. I sat in the car and my sister turned sideways and looked at me. She said "You look different." Waiting for her to finish.

She continued "You look happy."

I smiled.

Women in Islam: Liberated or Oppressed?

Myriam Francois Cerrah hit my radar early last year and every time I have heard this sister speak, she has made me smile.

Sisters, please take notes. This is what is means to be an active Muslimah. Speaking the truth with beautiful words, elegance and wisdom. Around here, we would describe her as being propa sick.

What she has highlighted here is what more of our women need to be openly talking about. As men we can address keys issues as such but Women and Islam is something women need to talk about. It holds more substance, it holds more value. An open dialogue of healthy discussion and debate. Not only has this sister handled herself in style on Question Time but she's here to make a statement. And a damned good one at that.

May Allah continue to equip this sister with the power and strength to continue her work.

P.S. Happy Jummah! 

Me vs The World

Assalamu Alaikum,

After re-opening the quest. Life is pacing really quickly. After Ramadan, my days have been flowing like water. The month is almost over and I start my new job this Jummah insha'Allah.

You may think I've been lazy with the updating my blog but the truth is wife-hunting has been taking all my free time. If I find a brother who has put in so much time, effort and determination in tying his camel. I will personally make him dinner. Beans on toast of course. Cupcakes for the number of prospects he has over me. Chunky figure.

I've filtered through about 15 girls in the past 18 days. You read that right. Seriously hard work. You have to put in some serious hours. Staying on top of your game, treating every prospect like she could potentially be the one. It's tough work and extremely taxing and draining on you and your emotional state of mind. 

The kind of prospects that have been put forward were all practising sisters. From different races to a revert. Middle class straight through to upper class backgrounds. From a barrister through to students. Qur'an Hafiz to a writer. I've even had an imam and another father approach me. By Allah, I cannot express my gratitude from how he has placed all these opportunities for me. Quality prospects that actually want to get married. The standard of these girls, masha'Allah. I've entered the twilight zone.

After filtering through racial issues (their parents), mismatch in aspirations/expectations and identifying compatibility. I hit the top 3. These prospects seemed outstanding, I had no intention of filtering through many suitors at once, but I was approached at the same time, way to go timing! I tried to filter through them but its been difficult. So I decided to give the first sister who contacted me priority.

The Journalist.

One thing I've learnt in over 3 years on the quest is how make things happen and work. So we started talking earlier last week. I needed a retreat for a mental break so I headed down to geetarhiro's turf. I hooked up with my brothers. I spoke to the journalist that night and we made good progress. Her father was in the country until today.  I wasn't going to pass up on this offer. We managed to pull off a last minute meet. Being 180 miles away from home, alhamdulillah they understood the benefit of us meeting and they agreed to meet.

I got the boys together and we hit the capital for dinner. The father and daughter arranged to meet me near the place we arranged to have dinner, so they travelled a little to meet there. I abandoned the boys for 90 minutes.

We met. We talked. We laughed. It was key, to the point but not too formal. Just right. We even disagreed on a few things. The father gave me a lift a few miles down. He seemed like a wonderful and understanding man, masha'Allah. I asked him for permission to speak to his daughter so we may establish compatibility. The trust and faith he placed on me. I can't say I've come across a father with such a warming and positive attitude. I like him. I like her too. We come from very different backgrounds but that's what makes it exciting. She has things to offer me that others didn't demonstrate.

I pray she is the one. Insha'Allah. Allah has made the process easy so far. Let it continue.

The first love story I posted? It benefited me a great deal, looks leading to attraction is one thing. Attraction from having faith in Allah, that's something else. I'm glad that I give every prospect the same opportunity they all deserve. If I didn't, I may have overlooked her because some of the prospects that were put forward. Honestly? Really attractive. I've come so far. I'm happy that I now know what I'm doing. My system works. My dealings are in adherance to Islam. The love and respect from all the families I've received. Every day I'm becoming the best version of myself.

Is there anything more satisfying in knowing that? Heck no.

P.S. Remember Potential #7? They came to our house for dinner yesterday. They hinted 3 times they're interested in marriage. Too late?
