Islam And The West

This is the first time that I have put finger to keyboard as they say and I am rather lost as to what to write. It has been a rather busy period for me. News broke this week of the earthquake in South Asia affecting areas of Northern Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. I believe that tens of thousands of people have died and hundreds of thousands made homeless or injured. Appeals for assistance have engulfed not only the immediate area but also as far wide as the United Kingdom and the United States.

People are at a loss to explain this occurrence, unable to comprehend the intelligence behind such a devastating event that not only killed adults but children as well. This topic deserves a great deal more consideration and sensitivity than I can afford in the space of this short blog.

Moving on as you can probably tell by the title of this blog, I am a Kashmiri nomad wandering the one way paths and dead ends not only of cyberspace but of life too. Looking for some semblance of happiness and inner fulfilment but unable to ever forget that the majority of mankind is not only in material loss but also in spiritual loss. Unable to control base instincts to such an extent that one becomes enslaved by them. May be one day I will find an eternal abode where Shirk (Association with Allah) is replaced by Tawheed (Singular Oneness of Allah) and disbelief is replaced by belief.
