O you wretched and disobedient soul. Why do you hesitate to run to Allah? Have you found a better destination? What is the cause of your paralysis? You claim you are remorseful yet there you remain in the same place you were yesterday and the days before. What type of remorse is this? For remorse only surfaces when one seeks to make amends. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for some life changing event that you hope will inspire you to stand back up and rejoin the battle? Or does the stench of your inaction need to become more unbearable before you can finally cleanse yourself with the journey to Allah?
Then remain there in your state of wishful thinking while death suddenly snatches you away. Perhaps then you will realize the foolishness of your postponement as you taste the punishment of regret.
Yes it is I your conscience. Be grateful you can still hear me. Be grateful I continue to terrorize you for the injustice you are committing against your own soul. And be grateful for this very moment which still offers you the invitation for change.

Strikes at the core of all of us. Have been reading your reflections for quite some time know and am throughly appreciative of your efforts. Where do you find most of this stuff from, or is it your own thoughts?

thank you so much for visiting, much appreciated.
well khomeini's (ra) exposition on 40 hadith was a huge turning point in my life. i would recommend any one to read it. this work of his was a huge motivation for me. so if you have any time please browse through this link: www.al-islam.org/fortyhadith , especially the first ten.
i dont know how to describe it.
its a must read for those who are interested in the spirituality component of islam. in fact after reading it i really did appreciate the fact that the mother of all wars is virtue vs vice.
so inshaAllah you will get to read it if you already havent.
thanks again.
