WHY THIS EVIL? What happened to the Good Ole Days?

Assalamu Alaikum!

No Words I have had to even began to describe the feelings I wish to express for the happenings that have occurred since I last talk with you.

The Boston Marathon Explosions, the children kidnapped years ago and then rescued as women................................................Shootings, shootings, and more shootings!

So much evil in the world. Oh, how we need prayer and knowledge more than ever!

The human race seems to be losing sensitivity in loving thy neighbor, caring, feeling, and empathizing.

Unexplained shootings of masses of people by individual shooters makes my eyes water with sorrow.

How do we come together to conquer this evil that slithers through this society?

We should be afraid, very afraid for the future of this country and our futures.

We must turn to Allah (God) and teach others about His love.

I really miss those days , when we had prayer in school, could leave our doors unlocked, could walk outside without fear, could take the kids to the park without the worry of a tragedy......

Oh! What has happened to those days of old? Those Good Ole Days?

Doing Good Deeds....to Go to Jinnah......BE CAREFUL!

As-salaam Alaimkum!                                                                  http://www.yournetpay.com/index.php?refcode=27107

Doing good deeds is part of getting to Jinnah.  I love doing good deeds!

Initially, doing good deeds are easy  to do, right?

In my case, I kept doing those good deeds over and over. I kept getting evil and hurt in return, this was both physically and mentally from the people I was doing good deeds for.

I fell, face down, body stretched out and  in tears before Allah early this morning. I was so angry, so hurt, so confused. "Please, please, please make this clear to me," I pleaded.


I must admit, I found myself cracking and angry at the selfish behavior of some people.

I screamed at the women who took it upon herself to come  to my property without permission and use my water and my water hose, when she had water and a water hose of her own.  I then stood up to the man who I'd fed so many times, when he was hungry, after he violently grabbed me and assaulted me.  My sons were outraged that someone I'd tried to help had hurt me.  Then I got the courage to say," No!" to that drug addicted nephew of that same man when he wanted to shower, eat, or sleep at my home. After all, the nephew didn't protect me from his uncle's violent attack that day nor did he even make an attempt to save me from injury.

Thought that I had tough skin. Thought I could ignore the meaness, the cruelty, the lack of love in this world by killing it with good deeds. Could I be wrong?

What do you do in cases like this?

You give;  They plot to steal.
You give;  They plot to see how much they can get for free.
You give;  They may be planning to follow you home to see how much more you've got.

I never want to think like this, but it may get this way.

Allah cleared my thinking, took my thinking, forgave me.

I can still give without fear, hurt, or pain.

There are organizations, charities, anonymous alms, groups that I can do good deeds through!

I can say "NO!" to users, people plotting to do harm, and to those who make a living off of those who are doing genuine to try to help others.


 

Skittles........kid.....USA........PART II My Son Arrested? For Being of Color?

As-salaam Alaikum!                                                                                                                                

The night after the verdict came in the Trayvon Martin case, my son decided to give a speech about what to expect over the next couple of days, if there should be a reaction to this case in downtown Macon, GA.

My son, stood at the edge of a water fountain, began to speak to the homeless, Blacks, and who ever would listen about oppression when, at that moment, two White police officers with the City of Macon told him to get down. Meanwhile, my other son was told to stop taping with his cell phone or he would be arrested for harassment.

One officer asked for my older sons name. My son responded with his middle name and last name, which he usually goes by, not knowing that the officer was going to run his name in the data base. The officer came back, ordered him to give him his real name. My son quickly told him his whole name. Of course, my son had no criminal record. This seem to upset the officer. Then the officer put my older son into hand cuffs and took him off into the patrol car to be processed into jail! We could not believe this was happening.

Three days in jail, waiting for court. No criminal record, never in trouble, expressing freedom of speech.......tell me what was so wrong about this?

The judge was highly disturbed by the arrest. He expressed his annoyance and dismissed my son's charges.

By then, my son's mugshot was in the newspaper with charges, but there was no recap that the charges were dismissed.

Is there a conspiracy to try to get all young boys and men of color labeled with arrests at a youth age? Is this done because there is something lacking in the White race that makes them afraid that races of color just may be on the rise in creating a new and better government that the one that has been dominated and ruled by them for so long? Or are they just predisposed to violence, hatred, and the creation of mass destructive weapons, and guns that kill and destroy?What is the problem?

Skittles.......kid.......USA. What Would You Have Done?

As-salaam Alaikum!                                                        http://www.eastessence.com/catalog/KURTI_TUNIC-17-1.html         

Skittles............kid............walking home.............USA. Think it's safe? Think again. Where is your child, as we speak? What preconceived notion does someone carry in their mind about who you or your child may be by just characterizing you by how you appear? Will your child be followed for having on the latest fad jacket, or resembling the persons arrested last month in a burglary? Will you or your child be shot and killed when being approached by a stranger with a gun, when you try to run? Or fight for your life, if you didn't want them following you home? If you couldn't get a way, what would you do?

WHO PULLS THE TRIGGER OF A GUN?

The sky is overcast to day and  the wetness of the cold rain hits the window pane.

I look over to see the face of Hadiya Pendleton of Chicago staring back from the pages of a newspaper. Just to think, full of life, with stars in her eyes, and a dream of a future,  as she happily participates in President Obama's inauguration parade. Then just a week later in Chicago, less than a mile from President's Obama's home, her life is blown away like a candle's flame in the wind.

What happened to those times when kids could stand with their friends or play jump rope while singing........"Strawberry Short Cake Cream on Top....?" Crazy how kids have forgotten how to play. Now, all they want to do is pull guns and shoot. I guess guns are the new toys on the block.

Hadiya wasn't a gang banger. She was against gun violence! But, it was a gun in the hands of the wrong people that took the life of a bright and shining star, a candle's flame that got blown out too soon.  GUNS OR NOT A JOKE, NOT  A GAME, NOT COOL, DON'T MAKE YOU TOUGH, DON'T MAKE YOU REAL, GUNS MAKE YOU KILL!

Who Said That It Would Be Easy?

Allah is working His greatness on my husband!   Allahu Akbar!
It seems that the goodness of the Islam faith is beginning to penetrate the many layers of my husbands once not so halal life. I have seen the somewhat irritating, self-centered nature slowly melt away.
I've decided by trying to live as an example, instead of nagging him to hatred, I could get through to his inner soul much better. Also, making dua has really helped. I think, perhaps, helped me in keeping from pulling my hair out strand by strand.
Last night, to my amazement, he read more about how to be a good Muslim. Today, he really tried his best to put being a good Muslim into action.I bet you are wondering how,uh? Well, he didn't sneak down to the corner store to get his weekly can of beer and 2 cigarettes, nor did he slip to play that CASH 3 game. This may not be much to you, but that was a great feat for him, and quite a big step from my point of view.
I know that we  all have our imperfections or some monkey on our back. Mine is saying the sh--t word. I have prayed, made dua, and still it slips out! Maybe washing my mouth with soap would help. Gotta suggestion?
Anyway, we are still praising Allah, and we are still trying hard to live the way Allah wants us to live

Adjusting..........marriage.

Assalamu Alaikum!

I have missed communicating with you sooooooo much!

I have been adjusting to being remarried. This is the husband I was married to for 10 years, then divorced from for 3 years, and then remarried to last year.

This time we married as a Muslim couple, after he did his Shahada. Wow! It has been quite an adjustment. It has been very difficult for him to put behind his old habits.I have found myself getting very upset with him. I know, I know it will take awhile. Everything is a process.

In the meantime, I keep reading the Qur'an. I am doing my prayers, but I must admit that I did slack for a couple of weeks. Yes, my conscience really beat me up, too!

I really must stay focused on Islam. I know that being patient with my husband could be an up hill battle until he has the knowledge that he needs to fully understand Islam and it's way.

What I do know, is that my husband acknowledges God. I will let Allah lead me in a way so that I may help him get closer to the truth.

Inshalla.....
