How The World Abused Somalia

We have bigger houses but smaller families
We have more degrees but less commonsense

A woman on social media was recently discussing abortion. She said it was not a big deal and if a girl has an unwanted pregnancy, she adviced going to get it ‘vacumed’ out. As in vacuming the carpet in your house!

You Ungrateful Servant.
“HE is Lord of the two sunrises and Lord of the two sunsets. So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?
HE released the two seas, meeting (side by side); between them is a barrier (so) neither of them transgresses. So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?
From both of them emerge pearl and coral. So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny?

We are so alone.
I will be posting more Islamic content for the new Muslims and reverts who read my blog.
Some people believe we are being watched by aliens. Some actually claim to have seen these aliens but that’s for another day! Believers know that Allah is ‘there’ for them. Somewhere there but do they know to what extent HE, Exalted and Mightly is HE is there?

Who Will Feed the Squirrels Now?
On Saturday JG and I went chestnut picking. ‘Put these in your coat pocket’. I say shoving a handful of chestnuts in his pockets.
The trees are shedding. The leaves have changed from dark green to the gold and yellow hues of autumn. The Sun is a distant memory as temperatures plummet and the nights begin to draw in.
‘How are we going to carry them?’ He asks. We have too many.
