Dear Sister

Your body’s been abused– raped, your deen and heart confused. My dear sister, Allah is with you all the way. My love, for you dear sister, increases day by day. I feel the sorrow and dispear but I know the darkness makes the light so white. A weird calmness takes over,for overwhelmed with thoughts, emotions and forced to go through the motions. The Qur’an a light we share to comfort and ease the soul of a hurtful blight. We listen together, sister and sister, separated by distance but united fisabilah. And listen to Surah Rahman, reciting in a voice that sooths, comforts, and eases like warm slippery waves and breezes; it’s brings out humanity and despite the evil, I feel this kinship, this care, a beauty of sisterhood in the midst of a scare as our love and emotion brings out sanity of dear old flawed, beautiful humanity.

friend (1:10:25 AM): this qari ocmpetitioins build more ego and superficiality than one can imagine

friend (1:10:25 AM): and

friend (1:10:30 AM): it can easily be denied

friend (1:10:32 AM): because you can hide it

friend (1:10:35 AM): but then

friend (1:10:38 AM): its between you and God

friend (1:11:11 AM): and honestly

friend (1:11:13 AM): if i was in her position

friend (1:11:18 AM): as modest as i would TRY to be about it

me (1:12:38 AM): of your soul

me (1:13:11 AM): but tis takes time

friend (1:13:13 AM): and

friend (1:13:26 AM): to enter your heart

me (1:14:16 AM): i agreee, but so does everything in this dunya–but do we shy away from it? nay, i say we have an obligation to it

me (1:14:28 AM): like leadership?

me (1:14:39 AM): shall we liken it to leadership?

me (1:15:04 AM): Islamic leadership is a huge burden. Just imaging the day of Judgment… oye… One who is a leader of an org is not only responsible for their own actions but as well as others in the org while they are the leader. On the Day it is one of the largest burden upon people and will probably be the cause of much demise.

friend (1:15:17 AM): but leadership is different

friend (1:15:19 AM): its a responsiblity

friend (1:15:23 AM): being a contender in a qari competiiton

friend (1:15:24 AM): is not.

friend (1:15:26 AM): we dont need em

friend (1:15:30 AM): there are alternatives

me (1:16:05 AM): does it strenghten the eman, and move the listener?

me (1:16:10 AM): some may say so

friend (1:16:14 AM): a competition

friend (1:16:14 AM): no

friend (1:16:17 AM): the recitatoindoes

me (1:18:30 AM): and competition hons the prefection of recitation, and as for prefection, it’s all relivant, is it not?

me (1:18:53 AM): so a gathering of some sort to show the world is needed?

friend (1:18:58 AM): sa that again

me (1:19:21 AM): me (1:18:30 AM): and competition hons the prefection of recitation, and as for prefection, it’s all relivant, is it not?
me (1:18:53 AM): so a gathering of some sort to show the world is needed?

friend (1:24:12 AM): it shouldn’t be hyped up, a public display

me (1:24:20 AM): ummm

me (1:24:24 AM): i must concur

me (1:24:47 AM): but perhaps it’s also our human moviation in side that we should change

me (1:25:13 AM): because people are lured into these competitions by awards

me (1:25:19 AM): human nature I suppose

me (1:25:23 AM): we’ll call it

me (1:25:41 AM): and perhaps it should be towards somthing esle

friend (1:26:17 AM): right

me (1:26:21 AM): becasue after such a gathering … without a tropthy or title?

me (1:26:32 AM): can you put it on display?

me (1:36:27 AM): but if Allah give you a talent as well

me (1:36:34 AM): He give you the capcity

me (1:36:58 AM): to seek wisedom and realize your talent isn’t a reflexction upon your soul

me (1:37:04 AM): it’s a fitnah
