Shaitan’s Tricks on Humanity

I found these videos on YouTube showing how Shaitan (the Devil) uses tricks to make us turn away from prayer, doing what is right, and remembering Allah (God). Check them out below. 

Muslim Funnymentalists Comedy Tour

The latest, freshest comedy tour to hit the scene focused at a Muslim audience. Although the trio of Baba Ali, Aman Ali, and Asif Ali do stand-up comedy (which is hilarious I might add), they also include improv as part of their show which makes it even better (think “Who’s Line is it Anyways?”). Anyhow, check out the trailer for their new tour below, and be sure to visit their website at www.funnymentalists.com

A Bit of Positivity

I know, it has been quite some time since I last wrote in my blog… What can I say, I have been a bit busy lately. The type of busy, however, that I am glad to be busy with. Yeah, yeah… So, I may be avoiding the obvious, but, hey, my blog is not a completely open book of my private life, so keep guessing….

Anyhow, so, I realized that many times in the past I utilized my blog for writing down negative thoughts, feelings, or emotions. Basically, my blog became a venting place for… well… when I needed to vent! It was at all times definitely therapeutic, and always helped me to organize my thoughts as well as re-energize my thought processes.

Lately, as you may be able to see, there has been a lack of postings in my blog. For one reason, I have not had much negative things to write about, which is a good thing. Secondly, I have found a sense of positivity in my life that did not quite exist before. They say the best things in life are free, and without a doubt, money cannot buy things such as friendship, love, or contentment.

Honestly, at this point in my life, I feel as if I have all three components. I have friends that I care about and feel I can trust, and the feeling is mutual. I have contentment in my possessions in life, as well as with all that God has given me.  And lastly, and perhaps more important, I have found love in my life.

What more can a human being ask for in life?! I, honestly, cannot think of anything more I can ask from Almighty God beyond what He has blessed me to have. My only prayer is that God allows me to recognize the immense blessings I have in my life, and to always be thankful for them.

ABC Primetime – What Would You Do? (Muslim in America)

This was an amazing piece that ABC news ran on how people react to Muslims being discriminated in America. Spread the word about this.

Ask Baba Ali “Racism & Pride”

The newest video from my friend Baba Ali. This video is one of my favorites by far, mostly due to the fact that it covers issues pertaining to racism when young people try to get married.

A lot to do…

Okay, I know I have been neglecting my blog for a while…

But, I have had a lot of cool things going on lately in life, so no time to sit and write.

I will return soon inshAllah with some more writings.

For now, I must get to work… I have too much to do before this weekend gets here!

We Are the Ones

I really hope that Barack Obama is elected next President of the United States. For once, I have hope, that I can feel proud to be an American Muslim with a President that will lead us into a new, brighter, and better future for the United States. A President that we can trust… A President who gives up hope… A President who truly represents the American People…. YES WE CAN!
