“Don’t worship Allah so He may give you. Rather, worship Him so He may be pleased. For when He is pleased, He will astonish you with His Gifts.”
By the dawn
And the ten nights
And the even and the odd
O you tranquil soul!
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing
[al-Fajr: 1-3; 27-28]

Loftiness is attained in accordance to one’s struggles,
And whoever seeks nobility, remains vigilant by night.
Whoever wishes to achieve without due effort,
Will waste their life seeking what’s impossible.
You search for glory and yet you sleep at night,
It’s only the seeker of pearls who dives deep into the sea.
– Imam al-Shafi’i, al-Diwan

‘A Path Emerges’ – the Paperback
A Path Emerges (Paperback)
“And how many a sign within the heavens and earth do they pass over, yet they turn away from it.” [Yusuf: 105]
The Signs of Allah are all around us and they continue to encircle us. There is no count to them and they can come in copious forms; sometimes as clear as running water and deep blue skies, and other times they can be obscure and cause you to ponder, dwell, and even question.
'A Path Emerges' is a spiritual retreat and a collection of reflections over the signs of God which He has embedded into life and upon the earth we walk.
