Ya Rabbi, Save Palestine!
My heart aches for the people of Palestine, Will justice be done in our lifetime? My heart jumps in concern at the protests planned, Is it wrong to worry about my family man, When people are being killed defending their land?

He’s in a Better Place
He rests in peace with a beautiful smile, He can no longer hide, The station he has reached, inside, There’s no doubt he’s in a better place No longer able to grace Us with his loving gaze, The angels will now have the honour Of taking his soul, Lighter than the flutter of a bird’sContinue reading “He’s in a Better Place”

Gratitude Is Everything!
Sometimes it’s easy to see what’s missing, what others have, what you need to live a dream life. Realisation that this life isn’t meant to be perfect helps so much!

A Recipe: Curry – A Cold Remedy
Salaams, This is a recipe that I’ve written down a few times and each time I’ve managed to lose it. It’s a family home made natural recipe for a cold and as far as I know it doesn’t exist on the internet.

Fiction: Yes, She Was Different
Yes, She Was Different All she wanted was to be treated as a human. When Leila’s face was covered they turned away. The invisible woman.

He spat at her whilst driving by, leavingContinue reading “Fiction: Yes, She Was Different”
