Anas Tolba is a very creative young man who also happens to be the son of my teacher/mentor/murabby/sheikh. His imagery and poetry in both Arabic and English are worth reading.

A couple of short answers
Published April 5th, 2007 in Blogging about the blog, Hadith, Inspirational, Islam, Life the Universe and Everything, Quotes and Tazkiyah. 3 CommentsThings have been hectic, hence the last two week hiatus. I am still working on that loooong article on humor in classic texts, but in the meantime the buffer has filled up with things I’ve been meaning to post. So a few entries to follow. The long post will most likely come next week inshaa […]
First off, Suleiman does it again. It’s been said before and it’s still true: the man is a gem. He’s gone and recovered Noha’s comment that was chewed up by the server move. Yay!
He’s also posted a video of his first stand-up gig in a comedy club in D.C. and it’s first rate. Check it […]
Five only answers
Published March 14th, 2007 in Blogging about the blog, Inspirational, Islam, Quotes and Reminiscing. 4 CommentsApologies for staying away for so long. I’ve been trying to write my 3rd episode in the discussion on humor, and it’s taking a long time. The primary reason for that is that when I decided to do just a little bit of research I found many more sources, and so many more examples, than […]
Back to the Little Mosque
Published February 24th, 2007 in Blogging about the blog and Muslims and the Arts. 8 CommentsAl-hamdulillah, Little Mosque on the Prairie (hereafter LM) seems to be doing rather well. I haven’t been able to find a site that gives updated viewership or ratings for Canadian shows, but from the various reviews it appears that the show has settled in at about a million viewers regularly. The comparison is made with […]

At some point I felt like I’d just gotten from under a truck :( . I am still coughing, sniffling, sneezing, and generally feeling very miserable. I was so tired I couldn’t even blog . And it just got me thinking what it always […]

Published February 18th, 2007 in Blogging about the blog, General Musings, Muslims and the Arts and Pictures. 7 CommentsAl-hamdulillah, I have to say that I am rather pleased with the way that this blog has evolved. Considering how much I like to talk it’s probably not a surprise that this has become a very addictive exercise :) . There are days when I am just too exhausted or too overbooked or too disorganized […]
A big Thank YOU and jazaakallahu khayran to Jaffer Maniar who’s decided to consult for me on all matters pictoral :)
The Cordoba picture in the header has been whitewashed to allow the text to show, a darkish gray has now been used for the title, and the picture was cropped just the right amount to […]
Follow up on many comments
Published January 27th, 2007 in Blogging about the blog, General Musings, Life the Universe and Everything and Muslims and the Arts. 3 CommentsJazaakumullahu khayran and thank YOU to all those that have been visiting the blog and leaving comments. It is indeed much appreciated.
A few quick responses are in order.
Abeer: thank you so much for the links. The pictures and the drawings are beautiful. Now I have to decide how to use them :)
Farah: thank you for […]
Now that the custom header feature for K2 has been fixed I figured I’d play with it a bit. I don’t have an ear for music or an eye for color, so if my colors ‘trouble’ you in some sense I would not be offended at suggestions. The picture is from Cordoba. Since we anointed […]
