Saddexdii sanno ee ugu dambeeyey (2014, 2015, 2016) ayaan mid kasta soo qorey bilowgii sannadka cusub qaar ka mid ah buugtii aan akhriyey kalkii hore. Kalkan waan la raagey.

Akhriskii Kal Hore: 2015
…qiimaha akhrisku kuma jiro tirada ee waa tayada; kuma jiro intaad garatay ee waa intaad guddo; kumana jiro intaad ku xidhan tahay aragti iyo qof ee waa intaad u xalan tahay aragti iyo qof cusub.

Bakayle Iyo Diin
Beri hore waxay jirey bakayle. Bulbullayaashu waxay baradooda kula noolaayeen diin. Bakaylaha kii ugu weynaa ayaa maalin shiriyey rayidkii. Wuxuu ugu baaqay nolosha in wax laga bedelo. Wuxuu yidhi: Bakaylow, maanta saw ma dhamid? Yar iyo weyn, indheergarad iyo culimo, rag iyo haweenba, ma cid baa kaa maqan? Nin weyni waayihii sheegye, diinkan agtiina daaqa…

Love is Brave
Inside a cave I took a shelter From the troubles that fester With the smile of a jester I lived a life full of jolly No heart, but mighty belly Till I was touched by a holy In love that came with no folly

Who Am I?
I am Falcon trying just to walk Not singing valor but just to talk In body and mind of opposing ways Had I only shown all that pent up grace Glittering in full bloom right on thy face Life would be nothing short of a dais

Commonsense: The Pursuit of Wisdom
We, the Ummah of Iqra’ (read), would be totally doomed if we cannot think, narrow-minded and intellectually stagnant if we don’t want to think, and slaves if we don’t dare to think. Education and especially Islamic education requires critical thinking, not just parroting. Read a book, write a book, plant letters in the soil, so…

Park Your Car Like Your Soul
Three nights ago, my friends and I went to Al Omari Mosque in Edmonton to say Isha and Taraweeh prayers. The parking was not only full, but had a lot of cars, ours included, circulating to find a spot missed by the others. When at last we thought we got the blind spot, a parking…

Experiencing Amoud

It Doesn’t Make Sense
One sentence that I used to hear a lot, but seems to be fading away, is “It doesn’t make sense.” I have no idea why I used to hear it a lot. For whatever reason, a lot of talkers in the past had a high time making themselves believable. I cannot suspect their oral prowess. A…

Finance: What Does It Offer Me?
Psychologists, even today, are arguing how much of our character comes from nature – that is the genetical and biological inplants – and how much of our behavior come from our nurture – the social environment that mold the way we think and act.

Is Success Secret?
It was my friend’s motto that success was never a secret. I recall the last time he condemned the reading of inspirational books, saying that, “You have all the theories inside you. All you need is to put that into practice. No more time to waste around.”

Endless Bounty
Wisdom, or Murti, is an interesting thing to pursue. It has no locality. Thus, it takes you to different places and shows you things it has no intention of teaching you. It allows you to indulge and appreciate them as the main course is at the background filling in.
