The Blessing is in the Struggle

Lupe Fiasco said it best.

I feel that I am currently experiencing my own inner struggle. Not to say that struggle doesn't face us everyday of our lives, but I think at the moment I am being pulled between two different directions. These two directions are a bit self-labeled; the Truth and the Deception.

The Truth represents; Islam and living, loving and doing for the sake of Allah (swt). The Deception refers to this dunya (world) that the Shaytan al-rajeem (the rejected) uses as a way to deflect us from the path of True knowledge and wisdom.

I think everyone experiences this tug and pull between the two. I pray that we all will have the endurance, strength and blessings of Allah(swt) to overcome Shaytan's attempts to lead us off the righteous path.

Ameen.

My Apologies

Asssalamu Alaikum!

I haven't written much on my blog in awhile. Part of that reason is because I have started to pay closer attention to a more personal secret blog that I chose not to share with anyone. It acts most like a journal where I talk about some deeper thoughts as well as some poems that I have started to write.

I recently cut a very important person out of my life, and although I know that its for the best and is what Allah (swt) wants for me, I have gotten new inspiration for some thoughts and feelings.

I am sorry for being so vague! But there are just certain things that I don't want the entire world to come across.

I will however, try to make more of an effort to post more on this blog. Insha'Allah I will do a better job at doing so.

Be rest assured however that I am doing very well Alhumdulilah! I'm just enjoying my summer with amazing people and also trying to do a lot of self-reflecting. Perhaps I will post a rendition of my more intimate posts on here soon insha'allah.

Until next time,
God Bless,
