Salams everyone.
i am on the last chapter of the book islam our choice - portraits of modern american muslim women. it is a very aspiring book. makes me gather my 2 palms and thank Allah for granting me Islam by birth. these women from the book are converts and to top it all, they are americans. we all know how haphazard and contradicting their lifestyles can be in their so called freedom society. yet, these women managed to overcome those obstacles and are still calling america their home. it makes me ashamed and a realization hit me hard that while we are surrounded by our very own community and our blessed religion where carrying out our islamic duties are never a difficult task at all, yet we are so caught up with other mundane, trivia and worldly issues until we forget what we are here for and WHO brought us here to begin with.

Islam is the truest way of life. Islam calls upon us to LIVE LIFE. at the same time Islam calls upon us to LIVE for HEREAFTER

coming up next - a history of the prophets of islam volume II (Moses, Aaron, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Dhul-Kifi, Jonah, Zechariah, John, Jesus, Muhammad)
