or it’s completely over, depending on who you’re following this year. yayy for muslim unity. i really think that eventually, american muslims will fold over to the side of the fiqh council of north america’s position (the dreaded calculations)- even if that means enduring sheikh hamza’s likening of the process to the c-section […]
babies are easy. <-(explain): compared to toddlers….(explain!)- fine, easy’s not the right word. simple. they’re more simple. i feel like infants just need a constantly positive atmosphere in order to be happy and normal. which may not actually be easy (depending on the state of the parent/caregiver), but is straightforward and simple. that’s all.

first- a prayer/thought for those in the path of ike.
today was a great day for paddling. it was overcast all day and no rain- my favorite paddling weather, ever. direct sunlight on water gives me migraines, and somehow i always manage to paddle with the sun right in my eyes. so today was a blessing. […]
i remember as a kid using transliterated arabic as a total crutch for memorizing qur’an. to the point where i would rather read the transliteration than the arabic. i knew there was something fundamentally wrong with using that way to learn. besides, transliterations look funny anyway.
and transliterated arabic words into english in daily use? where […]
