The closest we can get to Allah in this Dunya is in Salah, particularly in prostration. We lower our knees and forehead to the earth, to the dirt the lowest of all elements. Not only does it instill humility in the depths of our souls but it also reminds us where we are from. We have been created from the earth, born in the wombs of our mothers, taking the journey of life and soon to taste death, returning us to the depths of the earth. Whereupon reality will become crystal clear…

Do we put ourselves in denial of who we are and why we’re here, in this dunya? We blind ourselves and convince ourselves to hold on to this materialistic world. In we fall deeper and deeper in this dream. Trying to live every detail of this momentary life. Sins above sins are committed and still we induce ourselves that we’ll be all right. We leave the Sunnah because “it’s only a Sunnah”. It is only our words, and no more our actions. The way of life dissolves in front of our very eyes. It leaves us slowly and painfully, but we have numbed the body, mind and soul. No more do we feel, speak, hear or see, the truth, the way and the reality. Sincerity and steadfastness leaves us in our Ibadah, are we really worthy of Allah (swt)’s Mercy and Forgiveness? I sure hope we are, for my soul abates with the sins of everyday life.

TheStar.com - Harold Hosein, bowed but not weather-beaten
All the Torontonians who watch CityNews on TV or listen to Chum or 680 News on the radio know who Harold Hosein is. Well he doesn't work for CityNews (and of course Chum) anymore. But I think he still comes on 680 News.
When I got the newspaper yesterday, the title caught my attention. Harold was off air for some time now, but I didn't know why.
Anyways, I thought I'd just share the article...for those of you who care. And, it's quite hilarious (and cute in some ways) .

NOTE: Also, I'm so sorry for not updating the blog. I've been kinda busy and the heat wave kept me away from my room (which is on the top floor of the house, and no, we don't have central AC, which sucks).
