Lyrics, Cat Stevens Album: Tea for the Tillerman Title: Father and Son Year: 1970 Father: It?s not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy. You?re still young, that?s your fault, There?s so much you have to know. Find a girl, settle down, If you want you can marry. Look at me, I am old, but I?m happy. I was once like you are now, and I know that it?s not easy, To be calm when you?ve found something going on. But take your time, think a lot, Why, think of everything you?ve got. For y... Read More

By Abdul Lateef Abdullah Understanding the Divine Gift of Children Have you ever noticed that no matter how badly parents treat their children, the children always seem to love the parents unconditionally? As a Social Worker, I have experienced this before in my work. Even the worst of child abusers are loved by their victims. This is Unconditional Love. Children unconditionally love their parents. This is how it is. Allah brings children into this world as sources of unconditional love for their par... Read More

The lack of love that exists in the world today is manifest everywhere. Muslims, for one, do not seem to like to talk about love in the context of religion, in fear, perhaps, of sounding too much like Christians, who are keen on saying that ?God is Love.? We cannot ignore, however, that Allah is Al-Wadud, the Ever-Affectionate, the One Who loves those who do good and bestows on them His compassion. Nor can we ignore the fact that He is Al-Rahman, the Beneficent, the One Who gives blessings and prosperity to all ... Read More

Allah's Messenger (may Allah's peace & blessings be upon him, his family & companions) once kissed his grandson Hasan while a man named al-Aqra ibn Habis al Tamimi was sitting beside him. The man said, 'I have ten children and I have never kissed any of them.' The Prophet (pbuh) looked at him (sadly) and said, 'Whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy'. (Bukhari)

Reflections on the Subjects of Philosophy, Psychology and Mysticism in the Teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan by Hidayat Inayat-Khan ----------------------- The one who only finds faults in others is often the one who has the most faults, whereas the one whose own faults are taken into consideration with the object of improving them is the one who appreciates most the right doings of others.

Coupe de Saki pour le 8 mars Vous ne pouvez pas ?tre ? la fois cheval et cavalier. Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentaire par Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Soufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): On est soit le positif ou le n?gatif, le ma?tre ou l'?l?ve, jelal ou jemal, le guide ou le suivant. Dans un autre sens, le cheval repr?sente le mental et le cavalier la volont?; soit le mental domine la volont? ou la volont? dirige et contr?le le mental. Il n'y a pas d'alternatives. Mais quand on se garde avec Darood et dans l'unit? ave... Read More

Bowl of Saki for March 8 YOU CANNOT BE BOTH HORSE AND RIDER AT THE SAME TIME. Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): You are either the positive or the negative, the teacher or the pupil, jelal or jemal, leader or follower. In another aspect, horse represents mind and rider will; either the mind overshadows will or will directs and controls mind. There are no alternatives. But when one keeps in Darood and in unity with God, the part that they may play in the ... Read More

Hey Salaamz. I'm not a native Californian, but I came to LA from NY two years ago for my fellowship. As I 'm finishing up , I have two job opportunities right now, one is in Riverside (inland from OC) and the other is in Walnut creek (45 mins from San Fran). Neither one seems to be IN a great community, but rather the best thing you can say about them is that they are both 45 mins away from someplace nice, ie one is 45 mins from OC the other 45 mins from San Fran. Can anyone familiar with both areas some... Read More

As I 'm finishing up , I have two job opportunities right now, one is in Riverside (inland from OC) and the other is in Walnut creek (45 mins from San Fran). Can anyone familiar with both areas somewhat tell me which is a better place to live/work in terms of socially as a single person (don't party but I'm into most active stuff/outdoors /plays etc) , and in terms of the Muslim community?

March 15, 2007 at 8:10pmHayward also has Zaytuna (good) and certain public parks where lungiwallas can roam free from persecution from a judgmental public... and the world Kabadi championships were hel...
March 15, 2007 at 5:03pmHum: by the way, the actual job in Hayward is better set up and reimburses better then the one in riverside. In case that matters...
March 15, 2007 at 5:03pmone plea for all the lungi wallas -no adjusting in public.
