This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
“And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in peace and tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): Verily in that are signs for those who reflect” (Quran 30:21)
My promise to myself: my children will be taught no less than so;
islamicthinking:
We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between,
A man who flatters her and a man who compliments her,
A man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her,
A man who views her as property and a man who views her properly,
A man who lusts after her and man who loves her,
A man who believes he’s a gift to women and a man who believes she’s a gift to him.
And then we need to teach our sons to be that kind of man.
This picture by Steve McCurry has always been one of my favorites.
“The word “shams” (sun) is feminine, and “qamar” (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’aala be pleased with them.” (Shaykh Abdullah Adhami)

lotus flower // radiohead
Radiohead has released The King of Limbs a day early and there is nothing we’d rather see than Thom Yorke doing the same thing we did when we heard the news. This also marks the very first video post here at xmusic.fm. We couldn’t have waited for a better time.
Fuck what they say I still think Radiohead is an abundance of brilliance.
