I've checked in often though but never made a mark. Coming back on here almost feels like I'm resurrecting an old ghost, which doesn't make much sense to me because this place used to be my place of comfort.<br />
I think I stopped writing here because I stopped having answers. Being that this is an Islamic blog, I felt compelled to always know more. But now, as I look back on it, I realize that it never was knowledge that I gave out, but a feeling of self-sufficiency; for me and hopefully for others. I want to regain that feeling of belonging. These past years have been some of the hardest to endure. Throughout them, I reached low points and high points. I fell into depression numerous times but always got back up with the help of Allah (s.w.t).<br />
Yet I still don't have answers. All I know is that I'm tired of always being on the defensive side. I'm tired of always having to be the one questioned and doubted. So maybe this blog will become my new platform once again. But maybe this time, something will change.<br />
<br />
Welcome back, readers. This Muslim teen is trying to revive herself.<br />

Islam is the newest religion. It came after both Judaism and Christianity.Therefore, logically speaking, it is the most "modern". Which means anybody who says Islam is a "backwards" and "old/out of touch" religion is both literally and logically incorrect.<br />

Please enlighten me as to how a "terrorist" looks. Because obviously i'm not getting it. How do you associate an article or clothing to a murderer?!<br />
my father was sharing with us a story about his day. And he said I was at work and i saw somebody come in to the room dressed like a soldier holding a ghutra and agal in his hands. What is a ghutra and agal you may ask. A ghutra is basically a red and white scarf wrapped around the head (part of arab/khaleeji culture). Like this man:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://almohem.jeeran.com/wc-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://almohem.jeeran.com/wc-1.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
</div>The red and white scarf is the ghutra and the agal is the black thing holding it down. Anyways back with the story. So the man comes into the room where my dad's working dressed as a soldier and holding a ghutra and agal in his hands. My dad goes over to talk to him and ask him what he's holding (my dad full well knows what it was he's holding but he goes over to see what the man would answer him). So when my dad asks, the soldier man says 'I'm dressed up as a terrorist". Full ignorance. my dad just turns his back on him and leaves.<br />
<br />
When my dad was sharing this "experience" with us I got really mad. Full on mad. Because truthfully it wasn't fair. Like how shallow are you going to be anyways? Go to the point of taking a person's CULTURE and using it as a sign of terrorism?<br />
<br />
Oh, you know what? maybe I'll go and wear a mini skirt and tank top in public and be like I'm dressed as a "prostitute". That's nice isn't it? Just because some people have no background and culture doesn't mean they have to look down on other people's culture.<br />
<br />
People piss me off. I'm glad I wasn't there because I would have slapped that man hard across the face. My parents can stand that stuff. They probably have enough wisdom to ignore the ignorant. Obviously I'm not that mature. And obviously I'm outspoken.<br />
<br />

She is part of one of the top doubles teams in her high school’s division. Like her teammates, she is clad in her school’s team shirt and skirt, but Sadiya also wears an extra layer of pants, a long sleeve shirt and a hijab, as part of her traditional Muslim beliefs.<br />
The 15-year-old is looked at like a phenom in the sport, only picking up a racket for the first time last year. Her family recently came to Tucson, Arizona from a refugee camp in Kenya. Before leaving the camp in Dadaab, Kenya, Sadiya’s family was forced out of war-torn Somalia. The International Rescue Committee resettled Sadiya, her 5 siblings and her parents in the United States.<br />
The adjustment for “Sandy,” as her friends call her, was a challenge, to put it mildly. She acts as a translator for her family, as they all learn English and her parents look for work. Despite the obstacles, Sadiya does whatever it takes to tackle her home life with school work and tennis, including waking up at 3 a.m. to complete her homework to keep up her better-than-perfect GPA. She admits that people at school made fun of her at first, but she paid no attention, determined to keep her eye on the ball.<br />

Holland is gorgeous!! anybody who lives there is like so lucky! We went touring around the cities and went to Belgium and Germany. It was like a tour and a mini-shopping spree, in a way. My camera isn't hooked to the computer so i can't upload the pictures yet, but i promise my next post will be full of pictures :)<br /><br />salamou alaikom all!<br />btw thanks to all my followers and i'm sorry i didn't update in europe :(Malekat_el7oriyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05512138531282714547noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852074746403297867.post-76543973787147214922009-06-13T14:34:00.000-07:002009-06-13T15:04:59.404-07:00No need for argument.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.getreligion.org/wp-content/photos/SunniShia.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 426px;" src="http://www.getreligion.org/wp-content/photos/SunniShia.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />So i've been pretty disgusted with the "anonymous" sunni/shia haterz comments on some blogs. I really hate how some of these commenters are really judgmental about things that are really wrong. I hate how they're sometimes like "sunnis are better because... and shias are backwards stupid people" or "shias are better because... sunnis are backwards stupid people". And although i do believe everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I still think that when you're making a comment, you should atleast be able to provide CORRECT information and in a civil manner. Because seriously, if you want to know about the life choices of others, then ask THEM, otherwise you really don't wanna know.<br /><br />And anyways about the whole sunni-shia rant, I think that there really is no need for it. I mean people who think that sunnis& shias don't need to "be together" or shouldn't "be civil" with eachother, need to come join our family sometime.<br /><br />My mom is sunni, and my dad is shia, and they fell in love and have been successfully married for 19 years and there has been not ONE day where the topic of sunis or shias came up between them. I mean seriously, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what "part" of islam you are, it's the fact that you're muslims alone that counts.<br /><br /><br />*btw: inshallah i'll be leaving for europe tomorrow. I'll be back blogging when we arrive there safely inshallah. :D<br />and of course i will be taking many pictures and posting them :DMalekat_el7oriyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05512138531282714547noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852074746403297867.post-88445448254464280982009-06-11T14:40:00.000-07:002009-06-11T16:49:29.767-07:00Read Vision of Truth<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://codewordislam.blogspot.com/"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 334px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDg6km0vKGm_NMVYS5BQqCD5bHzgqxPyAB7KfqChUNLsIPbfWJuc_bkdf491TmuCNSrf19BnNp2w9YFpZu8ljCw8tEXKCpeDnDdWzaELhU7fLe5jpCJf1P0F8HdW9GxHx12m8wX8eksC7/s320/uncle-sam-i-want-you.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346189028268340370" border="0" /></a><br />Well what can I say?

So today like an hour ago, my dad walked in and he was like<br />"Hey (mom's name) can you help me unload the freezer i just got from the truck?"<br />My mom of course surprised, agreed. :)<br />So the next thing I see is them walking up up the stairs to the entrance of the house hauling a black freezer looking thing.<br />Then they find out that it's NOT a freezer but a fridge, and they're like 'what the heck are we gonna do with a fridge?!'<br />and so they look around the house to see where to store it.

Life was life. They said they didn't believe in some old man with a beard who decided he was God. What the hell?! Is that really their image of a God? A man with a beard?! Astaghfurallah.<br />I'm scared of how much they don't understand.<br />They say there is no heaven.<br />No hell.<br />Nothing happens.<br />No God.<br />I want to scream. I feel pain with their words. I want to yell out. Tell them about Islam. But i know they won't understand, they can't.<br />frustration just overwhelms me, i hate not being able to talk. Silently I disagree fiercely. Silence is not consent. It is objection.<br />They say you need Jesus in your life.<br />Inside I smirk.<br />I laugh.<br />I'm the one who has Jesus in my life.<br />They're the ones who need him.<br />They're the ones crying out for help.<br />Praying for the creation to save them.<br />Not God.<br />Inside I am an emotional turmoil.<br />They blame oppression of Islam<br />They blame stereotypes<br />All I wanna do is tell them to stop.<br />Turn them right.<br />Tell them the truth<br />But whenever I open my mouth<br />I run out of words<br />I imagine putting my hand in murky water<br />Quicksand<br />That drags me in.<br />There is so much i have to say<br />Not enough time.<br />Not enough words<br />To describe anything.<br />They wont listen. They wont understand. I know.<br />Silently i object to their synthetic views<br />Corrupt.<br />They are oppressing themselves.<br />They wont accept the truth.Malekat_el7oriyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05512138531282714547noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852074746403297867.post-2106001078996718052009-05-11T12:50:00.000-07:002009-05-11T13:10:28.478-07:00OMG GUESS WHO'S BACK!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dH0q9hvpVHg/SLcHcRsXOxI/AAAAAAAACBI/oeCZZTZRwno/s400/no+internet.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 160px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dH0q9hvpVHg/SLcHcRsXOxI/AAAAAAAACBI/oeCZZTZRwno/s400/no+internet.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:9DHIRhPEsc2ffM:http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii134/Midane/puppy_im_sorry.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 85px; height: 112px;" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:9DHIRhPEsc2ffM:http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii134/Midane/puppy_im_sorry.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />lol :P I"m back!!!!!!!! wohoo! it feels so good to go on the internet and look at my blog again!

I would have eaten from the tree. because isn't the tree representing something haraam? Something Allah (s.w.t) clearly forbade. Life now is full of trees just like that. But instead of trees they are material things, they are temptations.<br /><br />Arent hatred, malevolence, mistrust, dispondency, drinking alcohol, pre-marital relationships, adultery,murdering, gambling, backbiting, cheating, theft, oppression, telling lies,being arrogant, doubting Allah (s.w.t) and having too much pride all like trees Allah has forbidden us to eat from? And yet how many of us can truthfully say to ourselves that we have never tasted the fruit of at least one of these trees? There is a reason that the story of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) is in the Quran. there is a reason it happened. And if we submit ourselves to the temptations of the world we might never taste the sweetness of paradise.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">In surat Al Baqara-Ayat 30-39:</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">"And recall when your Lord said to the Angels, I</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"> am about to place a vice-generate in the earth, they said, "will You place such who will spread disorder and shed blood'?
