One of my favorite songs from way back when!
Haimanot Girma-Kezira
Showing the love she has for her hometown, Harar. A city of rich culture and traditions, beautiful people (and I mean beau-ti-ful), and home to over 100 mosques. It is said to be one of the holiest cities in Islam.
Ethiopia is really pushing it right now; they’re making the problem much worse than what it really is.
I have so much admniration for this man!
Boonaa Mohammed-“Kill Them With Love”
I didn’t know how big of a presence Sufis had in Ethiopia, yet alone that they existed. EBS showed a wonderful documentary on a Sufi mosque in Arusi (???), it was amazing!

Ok, so my cousin back home is expecting his first child anytime soon (well, they might have had it already for all I know) and I’d like to give him and his wife some suggestions though I doubt it’ll result in success (in terms of them actually picking what I give them)! Anywho, I want something that is unique (not overly popular) but with a fantastic meaning! This is what I have so far:
Girl—-> Intisar (triumph), Sakina (serenity, peace of mind)
Boy—> Rayhan (favored by God)
Any other suggestions?
Even though I might not be happy with those who aren’t in my life anymore, God has truly blessed me with everything in my life. I just wish I took more time to thank HIM.
الله أكبر
I wish I listened to the Qur’an like I did music. I shall get there one day, InshAllah.

I want nothing more than to be standing at the foot of the Ka’bah right now.
