A woman warrior of Islam One of the most distinguished women who took part in the battle of Uhud, if not the most distinguished of them, was Nasibah bint Ka'b al-Maziniyyah, Umm 'Umarah (May Allah be pleased with her).

When the battle was going in the favour of the Muslims, the archers disobeyed the command of the Prophet (SAW), and this turned the victory into defeat, as the Qur'an described it: ... Read More

Oh Allah! The One who hears Grant me that serenity You speak of How many more years? In limbo, a victim of sporadic torture Havent I cried enough tears? What should I do? As that final grand day nears I wonder, where do I belong? The pains of the past, like fire sears The devil continues to torture And with his crooked smile, jeers His sins wont go unnoticed They continue to amass in arrears In my heart tremble the fears Of this agony lasting No. All praise is due to Allah With faith, I mu...

Hi folks. If you're a law student, have ever been a law student, or have ever known a law student, you'll know that many spend their first year summers working in public interest positions, providing much needed assistance to everyone from migrant workers to domestic violence victims. More than being their first legal job, these experiences often capture the essence of why so many of us become lawyers -- because we want to help others. Unfortunately, most of these jobs are unpaid, and it's hard for law studen... Read More

Ego in Maulana_Rumi
If you wish for light, be ready to receive light. Nourish your ego and be deprived of light. If you wish to find a way out of this prison, do not turn away; bow down in worship and draw near. -Rumi, "Mathnawi"

I miss Morocco. I'm not even Moroccan, but I fell in love with it the first time I was there - and despite my rose colored glasses being shattered the second time (after King changed duana laws), I still love it. Wish that the guys would go back to being respectful as they were the first time in 2001 when I was there. Or that the women who didn't dress in djellabas weren't thought of a sluts now. I want to go back - waaaahh!!!
