I Feel Bad For Peter King!

Because Azeem Khan just tore him up! Masha Allah, brothers and sisters, this is a testament to the power of articulate speech and being prepared in the public eye. Our brother Azeem sets an example for us all that coming from immigrant families and specializing in different subjects (medicine and engineering whaat?) shouldn’t deter us from being able to communicate our thoughts and feelings in a bold, strong, and effective manner. Takbeer! Allahuakbar, check out this video!

Life Lessons About Death

Posted by Mehreen - 07/26/08 at 08:07 am

Today’s jumuah khutbah dropped a realization upon my soul that nearly brought me to tears. While talking about death, the khateeb reminded us that this life is nothing compared to the hereafter, and that as a congregation we need to work on to achieving our greatest goal - pleasing Allah and being granted Jannah. Something that he had said that really stuck in my mind was, “real Taqwa is to be able to be prepared to leave this world by the will of Allah at any time.” During the salat, he recited Surah Takathur, further reminding us to be heedful of what we do in this life so that we are able to make it to Jannah in the next. Subhan Allah, the topic he had chosen would prove to fit the day very well.

WorkingForOne Gets A New Author!

Posted by AbdelRahman - 07/08/08 at 04:07 pm

It’s with great  pleasure that I announce WorkingForOne gets a new author, Mehreen Khan. After outgrowing her Xanga site, she decided to join WorkingForOne as her next step in blogging alhamdulilah.

Studying elementary education at the University of Memphis, she is currently the ameerah of the AlMaghrib Qabeelah there, as well as very active in other Islamic work such as MSA and the Memphis Muslims Youth Group. Masha Allah she has great insight into different topics, and can definitely shine a refreshing light on different areas for us to be reminded and learn about insha Allah.

She’s also my wife, but I wanted to write with her before we got married ;-). Keep an eye out for her articles, insha Allah, and keep us in your du’aa.

Looking at the date on my last post, I can see it’s been nearly 2 whole months since I’ve had the opportunity to update my site. A lot has happened in the past 2 months, let’s do a quick update.

Perhaps the main reason why I haven’t been able to write any more articles is because I got a summer job, alhamdulilah. I’m working at the Apple Store in Woodfield Mall in Chicago as a Mac Specialist (a fancy term for a sales guy). Alhamdulilah I’ve been working nearly 40 hours per week trying to make as much money as I can during the summer.
