Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you.

The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.

So I says, I says, "Hey! That's a great idea!"

I haven't blogged in ages. I'm building an igloo out of all these writer's blocks I've collected over the past few weeks. With the weather we're getting here, an igloo seems like a swell idea. But I digress.

Right, back to the point of this post. I had an aha! moment in the shower like literally twenty minutes ago, no lie.

You ready? Ready?! Okay, here we go!




















What if I wrote a book?




Like legit. But not just any book. I wanna write something that will fall under the Islamic Literature umbrella. To be honest, I'm a little frustrated by today's youth. They worship actors and actresses and listen to trashy music and talk about stupid things and watch retard TV. But can you blame them? My opinion: no. Those poor helpless childre-- LOL, jk DURR you can blame them, those kids should know better, especially the ones that go to an Islamic school. But what if we had better alternatives? Books, for instance?

Imagine an Islam-ified Nancy Drew series? Or Boxcar Children -- but Muslim-ified?

Or better yet... what about something entirely different?

I don't know, maybe its the book worm in me talking, maybe today's youth just don't care for books, good or bad.

I don't even know what I'd write a book about, but I could come up with ideas probably.

I just wanna write a book, so why not make it count? During the Yusuf Estes workshop earlier this month, one of the speakers, Dr. Laurence Brown, mentioned that one thing he noticed about Islam upon his conversion was the lack of Islamic Literature available.

Stupid writer's block. I can't even talk right.

Feedback?

Let me know if you think this is a good idea or a complete waste of time. Especially you, my fellow fourteen-year-old facebook friends.
