"Hussayn is from Me and I am from Hussayn. May Allah love who ever loves Hussayn." Holy Prophet Muhammad (saww)

"O Allah! The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Knower of the seen and unseen, the Beneficent, the Merciful, I make a covenant in this world that VERILY YOU Are Allah, there is no god but You, One, there is no associate with You, and that Muhammad, blessing of Allah be upon him and his children, is Your Servant and Messenger. O Allah! send blessing on Muhammad and on his children, and do not leave me to follow my nafs (desires) even for a flash of an eyes, nor hand over to me any of Your created beings, because if You do so, it will bring me near to evil and keep away from good. O Lord! I do not put trust in anything save Your Mercy. So I deposit my covenant to use it on the Day of Judgement. Verily You do not break promise."

I think that I prefer my Michigan roots. The mostly-Sunni masjid that I attend in my uni town up in Michigan isn't half as uptight, prudish, and hyper about Pakistanism as the ones down here in Texas.

So I make it 7 from MI; who would have guessed thought there would be more.
Akhi who said he wants to come to Dearborn, inshAllah Kheir, but don't get to happy its not as hyped up as it sounds. If you want to be a true shia you can be it where ever life takes you. And as I see here everyday if u are shia and u don't want to act like it ... even when u have 5 mosques, many Muslims, and many Muslim places u will not. It all goes back to the person, and I have seen many here change for the good and some change for the bad.  It's not all bad now either ... its nice to go out and see Muslims neighbors, and many shia's around. I pray that if your family comes here ... you will have the Iman to stay with the good as many have and from the looks of it inshAllah you will. Good luck :)
fi aman Allah
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said while sitting with Ahlul Bait (hadith of cloak): "This is my Ahlul Bait (family) and my importance, there skin is of my skin, and their blood of my blood, what ever hurts them, hurts me, and what saddens them saddens me. I am at war with whoever is at war with them, and I am at peace with whoever is at peace with them. I am an enemy to whoever is an enemy to them and I love who ever loves them. For they are from me and I from them. Bless them as you bless me and keep them pure..."

I can't emphasis the 'very' strongly enough, i.e, if I was a girl..I would want me too!!! <br />2) Incredibly smart! However, I would like to point out that I am not a nerd but I could mix in with them if needed. <br />3) My passion is to be consistent about doing nothing. It may sound easy, but when I do something I am no longer consistent. It is real hard work to be a disciplined lazy bum.<br />4) I'm very, very funny. I sometimes even laugh at my own jokes....its hilarious...hilarious I tell u!! <br /><br />In summary...I'm an awesome individual, some may say the perfect guy.....and who am I to argue with them!
