Every talent you have is not wasted. It is there because of a reason and God will open that door when the right time comes along to use it.
~Shannon L. Alder

There are four main arguments that 'religious' people use against atheists to prove God exists. They are the argument of contingency (Ibn Sina), the argument of cause (Ibn Rushd), the argument of dependency (Ibn Taymiyyah) and of course, the argument of explanation (Albert Einstein). There are even people who would claim science proves God even more clearly than religion does. Again, this all depends on who you are talking to and their knowledge and background in academic pursuits. While Muslims are credited with some of the arguments above, there is no doubt that Christianity and Judaism have played their roles in refining and improving some of these arguments. God knows best.

He actually said one time, and this is hearsay, 'I dont have enough faith to be an atheist.' Lol, I couldn't agree more. These random lay people from UK end up being great debtors against atheists, including against the top one in his time, Richard Dawkins. Dr. John really held it down for Christianity. The lesson again...dont mess with the UK in politics. His famous works, and these are paraphrased titles, are 'Doing what's right' and 'Gunning for God' and 'Determined to Believe'.

I love books!

The Books We Never Finish
"I will finish it later."
The book closed with a quiet thud.
It found its place on the shelf, somewhere between good intentions and ordinary life.
Days turned into weeks.
Weeks quietly became months.
Every now and then, someone would dust the cover, smile, and say,
"One day."
Funny, is it not?
We rarely feel guilty about an unfinished book.
We simply believe it will wait for us.
And somehow...
It does.
I wonder why we are so much kinder to unfinished books than we are to unfinished versions of ourselves.
A dream we have not started.
A habit we are still building.
A prayer we are trying to be consistent with.
A heart that is still learning how to heal.
Maybe not everything unfinished has been forgotten.
Maybe some things are simply waiting for the right season.
After all...
The story was never angry that you needed time.
Perhaps you should not be either.

I was too old when he first became famous. Like Ustadh Ammar, one of the younger teachers at AlMaghrib Institute. We know why sisters like him. Lol. But I am proud of our brother, Saad Tasleem. Sh. Saad, a graduate from shariah program in Madinah University, has published a book in English on 'The Devil.' He has made the bold claim that, english or arabic, this book is the most comprehensive book on the Devil or Shaytaan. You know what that means...God knows best.

Thinking of making my own Substack, and just publishing my thoughts, or even writing my own stories on there- feel like there would be potential. Just want to make it grow

I’ve already started writing a short story- I’ve decided it is probably going to be cyberpunk theme

I'm in love with this sentence:

“Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach.”

On the day when death will knock at thy door what wilt thou offer to him?

Any Proust fan here?
