About Me
- hipster
- I would like to make a difference in the world-not for the mere attainment of fame,glory or an everlasting legacy.But to fulfill my duties as a human being;to be the voice of the oppressed & the minority;to reflect true islam and to better serve humanity. I have joined this blogspot to ask & seek answers,to delve into the realm of the multiple & diverse mentalities that God has created & to endeavour to draw the line between the illusionary & real. Life is temperamental.If one doesn't strive to understand it,one may never be able to cope with its erratic mood swings. As a muslim- & I'm speaking from experience- I believe our souls are pieces of God.Thus,each & everyone of us has a bit of divinity within him/her.Failure to embrace our spirituality makes living difficult. I am not perfect but I hope God blesses me with the wisdom to see through my vanity,learn from my errors & from others & do what is right. Acknowledgement: Drima's blog has inspired me to start my own.
In loving memory of my father.Allahuma, may the blessings of every good deed that I've done in my life & that which you have accepted be bestowed on his soul.
My To -Do- List
- 1- Be a better Muslim & human(Be an ambassador for my religion)(Need to work on a lot of aspects).
- 2- Make a difference in the world(Too generic-Still need to work on the "how").
- 3- Be an active blogger, write more poetry & engage in more fruitful,intelligent & intellectual discussions with people from different backgrounds.
- 4- Do Masters in Eng literature & Human Resources.Take a course in knowledge management, international affairs & political science.
- 5- Own a huge library.
- 6-Travel around the world
- 7- Establish an orphanage in my dad's name(Allah Yirhamu) in Sudan.
- 8- Exercise more & stop harassing my siblings.
- 9- Record my poetry for the sake of enlightment & not fame or materialistic gains.
- 10-Get married (Condition: My husband must have a beautiful mind,beautiful heart & beautiful soul.He should encourage & let me pursue the aforementioned goals) & have 3 children(in order: Omar, Leen & Mohammed,inshallah,inshallah,inshallah).Our marriage should not be a hindrance but a milestone for bigger & better things & for elevating our family & the rest of humanity(as much as we can).

salaam hipster....although I really feel like the whole darfur thing was blown out of proportion and I heard many accounts from ppl that visited darfur that said calling the problem a genocide is naive and it is not like the media portrays it (I will write a blog about that soon insha Allah)...lakin I think the reason why most Arabs never really show interest in Sudan's affairs or show it really late is because they don't think of us as Arabs (I will also insha Allah write a blog about that)...unfortunatley instead of considering Islam as being the most important identity that unites all muslims...there is actually a lot of racism that divides us.
Arab Americans [mainly in Dearborn, MI] that celebrated Saddam's death. Buncha cowards, all I can say.
Daana,I have also heard that the Darfur crisis has been blown out of proportion.The term " genocide" has been misused, perhaps, to attract more international attention.For this reason, Drima, Mid East Youth & Good Neighbours have started www.darfur-awareness.org to rectify all misconceptions.
"lakin I think the reason why most Arabs never really show interest in Sudan's affairs or show it really late is because they don't think of us as Arabs (I will also insha Allah write a blog about that)...unfortunatley instead of considering Islam as being the most important identity that unites all muslims...there is actually a lot of racism that divides us"
I agree.
Thankx for your feedback:)
FS, we all wanted Saddam to be punished but maybe not in this way!
Are some muslims more equal than others, like darfurians? I want to think differently, but the mounting evidences just can't allow me.
I hope they have changed, I hope...
BK, the case, as Daana stated, is that the Arabs don't look at us as Arabs.
Funny, that's how the Northerners treat the Southerners.Let them get a taste of their own medicine!!!
Exactly! When in Sudan the Northerners are Arabs, but when they go to the Arab world people laugh at them when they claim to be Arabs.
I have heard the story that most Arab countries initially refused Sudan to join the Arab League because they considered not Arabs! It was only Egyptian Gamal Abdel Nasir (?) who said: "if they want to be Arabs, why should we refuse them?" (how true is the story? Anyone?)
We need to forge our own identity. It is about time!
I heard that story too & rumour has it that it was the Lebanese who strongly opposed our joining!!!
As far as I'm concerned & even if Arabs don't regard me as a part of them, I'm proud of the diversity & Afro-Arabism that I'm a part of-be it, yes, Sudanese,Turkish,Ethopian or Egyptian, with immense love for the UAE!
The Lebanese? The irony does not escape me.
Can't confirm or deny the story, I'm afraid.
