EARTH'S POPULATION HITS 8 BILLION

I have always thought about the population of earth as it points to the fact that there is a Lord who sustains all these people and creatures living at any given moment. To me, I have this unrelenting feeling and question of where I stand in amongst all these people. You see, the amount of people living is small compared to the amount of people who have died. There have been countless people since Adam ( AS) who have lived their life whether doing good or in shirk, have had needs, emotions, thoughts , aspirations, dreams, fears and every other thing life encompasses. Now, where do I stand amongs all those dead, living and to come?

This is the question that not only humbles me but makes me scared. It makes me 'selfish' as I am only thinking about myself in this context. Where will I stand on the Day of Judgement? Where am I in the sight of Allah? This question takes away any pride or ego or any sell-importance one has when contemplated upon. There were many better people than me, there are currently many better people than me and there will come many better people than me. So where do I stand amongst all those billions upon billions of people?

So how do I comfort myself from this unrelenting but yet good thought? I find comfort in the fact that we are all from Allah and to Him we will all return to. I find comfort in the fact that, I have been brought to this earth to worship Allah and to get to know my creator and Lord in an intimate way. Everyone has had this chance before for those who are no more, we have this chance for those living now and the future generations of people will also have this chance to get to know their Lord.

After taking all these into considerations, I can then put myself in a place amongst all these people. i find myself on a road, a road everyone goes through. The road that leads only to Allah. I can try my best and work for my akhira while alive, hope for the Mercy of Allah when I stand in front of Him on Judgement Day. That takes away the worry and gives me a solution. But the thought is really important to me for whenever I forget my purpose or get lost in the day to day hussle and bussle of life, it can pull me back into reality which is to worship Allah the best way I can. I ask Allah to grant us good in this world and the hereafter and preserve us and protect us, Ameen

Knocking On Al-Fatah's Doors (The Opener)

The moment I came across the following series which go into depth the nam es of Allah, my life changed for the better. Not only did I grow more intimate towards my Lord, but the amount of joy and sweetness I got out of it is unexplainable. https://www.islam21c.com/theology/one-god-many-names-al-fattah-the-opener/ . I urge all my readers to go and read the above article and then the series as one of the names that I want to talk about today is Al-Fatah(The opener) and the reasons why I want to share how it changed my life. I have been dealing with a mental block for almost 3 years now and although I do not want to complain to other than Allah, I'll try and paint a picture for my audience to understand. I would set my mind to do something like reading a book and I would read it for a couple of pages and then boom, I would put it aside. I would start to feel this immense shadow of tiredness and feelings of procrastination and would therefore stop there. I didn't understand why

What Blue Line? ( Part 1)

Sergeant Paddy is notoriously known for his anger issuess coupled with his ego on top of a racist and supremecist attitude. Many people do not know that he also deals in drugs and has significant ties to the human trafficking business in his city and state. Buckle up and expect to be filled with rage as this is a story about the dark side of human nature and the power of corruption. Under a bridge on a late afternoon sits Sergeant Paddy and his lapdog Officer Shamrock drinking his coffee while the other smokes a cigarette. This was the spot chosen earlier that day to inspect a load of 'meat' ( a term to describe the women and children trafficked). You would be asking yourself how can such an abhorrent crime be happening in broadlight but don't forget that this man is the head of a unit which by now can be described as a cartel with badges. The city was awash with drugs, crime was skyrocketing and the streets were filled with addicts. The head of the Police department,a wo

What Blue Line ( The Witch)

This is the story of the woman who was just known as the 'Witch' instead of her name Gabriella, the head of the Police Department of the City of Hagora. A city once celebrated for innovation and technology now harbors a sinister secret. Let me describe to you the character of this woman by the nickname The Witch. She has no feminine qualities you would typically find in women nor does she have any masculine qualities. She’s in a state of limbo , always in doubt of herself as she knows what she is involved in is wrong . No amount of makeup can hide the ugliness of her soul projected on her face. She has no sincere bone in her body and even her children are repulsed by her character. She is double faced in her dealings with the residents of her city she polices. She is a master of deception,playing a double game with the unsuspecting residents she's meant to protect. She is involved in dark magic and uses it against people that she doesn’t like. She has access to their DNA
