Tides of Change: Emotion, Intellect and the Message of Imam Hussain (a.s)
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2012/12/emotion-intellect-and-message-of-imam.html
Monday, 10 December 2012. Emotion, Intellect and the Message of Imam Hussain (a.s). In the last couple of weeks, the terms, 'intellectual', 'universal', 'logical' and the like have been thrown about more than I can remember in previous years- mostly with regard to mourning Aba Abdillah (a.s) and also spreading his message. There seems to be a growing hype around 'not letting emotion cloud our intellect' and other such mottoes. Are the two so antithetical that we have to rank one above the other? It's not...

Tides of Change: Stagnation Is Regression
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2014/02/stagnation-is-regression.html
Monday, 3 February 2014. I begin in the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. As usual, I've been wanting to blog for a VERY long time, but I just didn't have anything worthy in mind (not that this is worthy.but hey, I've missed writing). I have learnt a massive lesson in this last year; stagnation IS regression. What's wrong with being content with being in such a state? Allah endowed angels with intellect without desire, animals with desire without intellect and man with both of them&#...

Tides of Change: June 2012
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 June 2012. In this past year, there has been an epidemic of girls and young women removing their Hijab permanently (No, I don't plan to rant about this for the rest of this blog), and the question many people have been asking is- why? Being forced to observe it in the first place? Alhmdulillah, the migration of many communities has forced a lot of us into the realm of free-thinking and self-education. How does all this relate to the Hijab problem? Saying however, is that when it reaches this ...

Tides of Change: November 2012
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 5 November 2012. I can't believe we're less than a fortnight away from Muharram. I don't know about you but Muharram has always been a time of reform (whether that reform is successful is another matter) for me- even more so than Shahr Ramadhan. I think it's because of the sudden change in environment, surroundings, priorities- when everything else around you changes, you want to change with it- or at least you find it easier to. And quite literally, everything does. If it's the evening, take up ...

Tides of Change: June 2013
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 14 June 2013. The Virtue of Abbas. A king in the heavens and a master on earth,. No wish leaves his lips since the day of his birth,. For wealth is mere dust and the world, divorced thrice,. And princes who lead the dwellers of paradise,. A brother who forever is the best of all men,. Inseparable now and inseparable then,. With one world at his feet and the next in the palm of his hand,. This king has a wish and in prayer he stands,. The angels bewildered at what such a man could need,. Yet every...

Tides of Change: November 2014
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 1 November 2014. My heart may be filled with every vice that exists,. My soul may be blackened with sins that persist,. I lower my head in humility and shame,. That my lips still dare to utter your name,. But how can I not, when you are so high? When even your enemies, you did not deny,. My heart can be filled with nothing but hope,. My hand can only reach out for your rope,. For you rescue those who are shipwrecked and lost,. Those who are shattered by turmoil and tossed,. No- I am not Hurr, b...

Tides of Change: Thinking, Introverts, and Solitude
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2014/03/thinking-introverts-and-solitude.html
Sunday, 30 March 2014. Thinking, Introverts, and Solitude. I have a feeling that some of my Twitter followers (or WhatsApp contacts, or former Instagram followers or Facebook friends.or just.my friends) may have begun to think that I am an unstable loner who complains a lot about being the 'misunderstood introvert' and constantly prefers to be left alone, and probably suffers from minor social deficits. I'll admit it- I do (complain, that is- not the social deficits! Force myself, of course. Force my...

Tides of Change: Patience
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2015/02/patience.html
Sunday, 1 February 2015. For a very, very long time, I honestly didn't understand what people meant when they said to 'be patient' in difficult times. How can you be. It seemed to me like a passive state, more than anything else. If someone's mother is suffering from terminal cancer, what can. They don't have a choice but to deal with it. If someone dies, if I fail my exams, if what I want doesn't happen, if my plans are demolished to crumbs, what can I really do except accept it and move on? Often when ...

Tides of Change: August 2012
http://servantofjustice.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 5 August 2012. My bottle made my hand wet! And sticks his other hand out again. As you can now imagine.I wanted to die. Or a chandelier to fall to divert his attention away from me. Or something. Finally, I explained all over again, to get a 'Oh.right.sure.' from him, before we had a quick intro with lingering awkwardness, and moved on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
