WHAT AM I? This is one of the most famous of Bulleh Shah?s kafis. In his quest for the nature of his self, it has a special place. Viziers are often asked, ?As a man, where have I come from, and where am I going?? But, it has rarely been asked, ?Who is this ?i? who comes and goes?? In answer the question ?who am I ?? Bullah says that he does not belong to any particular group or class. He is neither a pious worshipper and a believer, nor is he a member of the group of profligates. He is not committed to t...

We should never stop working towards our goal of doing better in life, we should take from this life only what we need. Our needs and wants are not necessarily the same. In reality, we need little to live a decent life. It is only our greed that drives us to always strive for more. We also need to do our best to remain positive about the results of our efforts, regardless of the outcome. This of course, requires great patience on our part. We do not want to be of those who are grateful to Allah only when w... Read More

Our khateeb mentioned this study today, so I figured I would share it. It generally says that Muslims in America are mainstream and being assimilated. Is that a good thing? aejrmig.blogspot.com
December 2, 2007 at 2:06amIt depends on what a person means by assimilating. For me, if a person has to change himself, way of thinking then no, assimilating is not a thing. Personally, I don't underst...

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to say it. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She shouted at me, " you are not a man!" That night, we didn't talk to each o... Read More

Knock out the human appendix. No effect observed on the body. Therefore, the appendix is vestigial or useless. What's wrong with this reasoning? Hint www.cnn.com). Knock out a gene.

One of the most important things we can do is to make sure we get enough calcium in our diet, and since cheese and other dairy products are not only an excellent source of calcium but provide it in a form which is very easily absorbed by the body, what better excuse do we need to tuck into a slice or two of cheese on toast! :) Unfortunately, dairy products can be high in staurated fat, so the secret of healthy cheese on toat is to use extra Mature Cheddar, goat cheese...humm what else?.... so you'll get lo...
