Dearest Parents: The Way To Your Child’s Heart Is Not Through Her Stomach!

// July 18th, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

Have you eaten yet?

Have you eaten yet?

Are you hungry?

Would you like something to eat?

Have you had breakfast?

Have you had lunch?

We're having an omelette;

Would you like one too?

How about some tea?

Just one sip!

Eat this banana.

Eat this pear.

C'mon, if you love me!

You never eat anything.

Are you dieting again?

The neighbours mentioned you look thin.

They think i don't feed you!

I tell them you don't eat!

Eat. Eat. Eat.

Food. Food. Food.

Have you eaten yet?

Have you eaten yet?

Dinner's on the table.

Have you eaten yet?

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGH

No.

I have not.

Because..

I..

am..

Not..

HUNGRY!!

Sigh

It is only because they care.

Time For Some REAL Poetry

Jazakallah to Umm Yusuf for this. I've never heard of Brother Dash before; i'm sure everyone else has! He has a website, and an album, which i plan to order once it becomes available to UK suppliers, inshā’Allāh.

For now, here is a taste of one masterpiece, entitled “Boom Chicka Boom”.

To My Lurker

Why are you hiding there,
in the shadows?
Don't you know, i can see you?
It's your teeth;
they shine in the moonlight.
If you want to remain incognito,
you should stop smiling so much.
No – sorry.
I can't stop being funny.
Hang on…
You think i'm funny?
Wow.
But still,
you should really stop lurking.
I think you have something to say,
and i'd really like to hear it.
Don't be afraid;
things are much clearer in the light.

A Friendship That Spans Eternity

// May 3rd, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

I want to share with you, something – something that touched my heart so deeply, that it made me weep. Although i admit to being an emotional creature, i don't tend to cry very easily, unless i am really moved, or upset. I actually found this site last week, but due to the personal nature of its contents, i decided to first ask for permission from the author to link to it, which she has now gracefully granted to me. The only request she had was that whoever reads it, makes dua for her friend's soul; i am sure you will oblige her request, inshā’Allāh. Please also show due respect, if you decide to leave a comment.

I was wandering through the blog rolls, when i came across this little gem at a site called Fajr (the Arabic word for dawn):
