Stuck in the Middle.

I am Americanmuslimah. I have been a muslimah now for over 30 years.
I have blogged and quit several times. Again I want to try.
I was ask by a certain group of Muslimah's once about 20 years ago to join their group of women.
I refused.
Before you judge allow me to explain.
They were a group that dressed in burqa (complete body covering + face covering) I also dressed at the time in this fashion. But, they stayed to themselves and no one was allowed in that did not follow the rules.
They had an air as if they were the best of the best and everyone else was to be avoided.
I disagreed with this attitude.
So I refused to join them. I did visit them from time to time. And they did me.
But, they treated me as if I was not one of the best.
Even going so far as to tell my husband I was a trouble maker.
To this day I am still wondering what I did that made any trouble for them.
I am American born and raised. This is a sinful country. This country does not follow God.
I wonder sometimes why Allah had me born here.
My family and those around me wonder how I can leave this lovely life of beauty and easiness for a life of covering and hardship. But, mostly they say that I should stick to the modern religion of Christianity and leave the old fashion that comes from following such an old fashioned way of life from a people in the third world countries.
What can I say?
All religions orginate from these third world countries is my understanding.
So here is again a bit of an understanding of where the books of God are coming from.
All three major books are from God. The Torah. The Bible. The Quran.
The Torah and the Bible have been changed by people who did not agree with God.
God took that right to change the books when he sent the Quran.
None of the books are originally in English.
If I was born during the days of people leaving because they did not want to follow the certain religion I am sure I would have preferred to stay with Islam.
I am sorry you think because I do not believe that Jesus is God's son/God that I well burn in hell. I do not believe that is true.
And as for joining a group of muslimah that snob others, I disagree, so I will not do that.
I study Quran.
O you who believe; believe in God and His messenger, and the Book
which was sent down to His messenger, and the Book which was sent before. And whoever rejects God, and His angels, and His Books, and His messengers, and the Last Day; then he has strayed a far straying.
Quran:4:136

Weather

It stormed here again in Tennessee and the electric was out for most of the night. Finally I gave up and took a 3am trip to wal-mart. Mostly because the people here tell me I need to stay home and not go out scaring people and causing trouble in my dress costume. I followed my Quran by not obeying this stupidity.

I found out a gas station sign hit a transformer in one area causing the power outage. Trees were on top of some cars and up rooted in many yards.

I never knew the weather was that bad. I was tucked safely in my little apartment aware that it was raining and a little windy. But, certainly did not see anything fierce.


Oh well, on another note my daughter told me she would never believe in my religion. After all the pain and suffering because of this new knowledge she dared to share I decided my only recourse is prayer.

I have made a few changes in my way of life. I would rather be all alone then be surrounded by those who ridicule my religion even if they are my immediate family.

So unless it is a must. I will keep away.


I know the truth and I fear my God would never forgive me if I left my religion. I know they will never understand this.

well, anyway, by the time I got home from wal-mart the power was back on. Nice.

My Graphics





Just another Graphic I enjoyed putting together.

Storms

Because I work nights when I am off work I sit up all night long. Storms started around 1:30 am or 2 am last night. Nothing unusual about that. That Allah is doing his best to get people to respond to him is a cinch to those of understanding. With all the "scientific weather" raging across the world lately, it came no surprise to me when I heard the weather man state a tornado or hail usually backtracks to the same areas they were in the past. WOW! Imagine that! When Allah receives no response he comes back to try again. Glory to Allah.

All you need do people is seek the help of your maker. Ask his forgiveness. And live to his teachings. It is simple. That is what he wants. He wants all the people to respond. He wants to punish no one. But, if you do not respond he will punish.

Ok so, after that is said here is a few graphics I put together last night. I am not really good at this. But, in my old age. I am alone. I need to do something. And though I am not good at it. I enjoy it.

And hold the contact prayer, and contribute towards purification, and kneel with those who kneel. Quran 2:43

And We have appointed to Abraham the location of the House: Do not set up anyone with Me, and purify My House for those who visit, and those who are standing, and the kneeling, the prostrating. Quran 22:26

I like Her.

http://americabornmuslimah.blogspot.com/

I found it. The blog I started last year- then forgot about- then could not find -so I started another one. I don't need two. So now I have to figure out what to do about this.


Anyway. I have decided I like Hilary Clinton.

I don't say that about many Christian women.

But, first she is a woman who stays with her husband though he cheated.

And I just heard her say that the fight Saudia women have about driving is their own fight.

Now I see she minds her own business.

Yeap! I like her.

Two Points of Interest This Week.

1. I loved listening to Obama telling the people we need to tax those who make more money instead of taking money from the elderly and children. I mean really - that is a no brainer. If God is not the head of the country then for sure satan is. And taking money from the elderly and children and not taxing those who make loads of money sure does sound like a satanic act to me. Looks to me like Obama does have some goodness in his heart!

2. They say at work that drinking coffee is something that God might not like. I do not think coffee is a sin. However, I do think this: If by not drinking this stuff called coffee and tea and anything else like say for instance pop can get it across to the people that to obey God has many advantages then I will give it all up. Every single drop. In fact, I am taking a closer look at my diet. A much closer look. Maybe I can help someone find God and maybe he will forgive some of my sins and maybe he will hear some of my prayers. Just maybe. I am going to give it a try.

Hijab, Wind Storms, and Graphics

They do not have much in common. But, it is how my day went.

It would not seen fitting if I did not at least admit  for the past 4 or 5 years I have been in disguise. That is. I did not wear hijab.

You might find a better reading about it here

Now that that period of my life is over I can easily say to those who wish to "teach us" muslims what we are missing. I do know what I am missing. And I prefer to live as muslimah. With hijab.


I am so glad that I was not living in Arizona this past week to witness that dust storm. Did you see that?

You can read a bit about it here

And I put some more islamic graphics up.  HERE

Reading Quran

I have this way I read Quran.  I number a page out of my small calendar that I carry 1 through 114.
I never read from front to back. Don't ask me why. I just read one chapter then another somewhere else in the book.
When I have finished a chapter I cross it off of the number 1-114 page. 

This way I am assured that I have read the entire Quran from beginning to end in the year.

It is almost Ramadan this year. I have exactly 25 chapters left to read.

Inshallah, I will finish them during Ramadan. If not, that is ok. I just want to finish each chapter then start again.

The Doctor.

I already know what is going to happen.

Well, at least I should say it is most probable. However, I could die in my sleep.

Maybe I should explain.

I do not go to the doctor for evey little whim. In fact, I hardly ever go.

It is because I have such a strong belief in my God I do not really see the need.

I would go if my little pains and complains did not get better. But, till now they always have,

I just pray to my God.

I believe that God is in control of everything. Even little pains. He can make us well or take our life.
I know one day he is going to take my life. I know for sure.

So what is going to happen?

Well, when I finally am forced to the doctor. If that does happen. They will say if only I would have been careful and seen the doctor earlier I would be ok.

I do not believe that.

Sure, we should take care and eat healthy. Exercise. But, when push comes to shove. We die.

So instead of putting my trust in the doctor. I am putting it in God.

And when he is ready to take me I hope inshallah he takes me in my sleep. Peacefully. Without my ever having to rush to the doctor.


We will just have to wait and see.

Lightning Strikes Again.

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/07/lightning-strikes-tree-near-caylee-anthony-memorial-site/


Lightning strikes the tree close to Caylee Anthony memorial site.

To some it will be simply an act of mother nature. But, to those of us who know that there is only one in charge of what is happening in this world know that God has made his presence known.

He does know what happened to this little girl. And if there is anyone to blame he will see to it that they are punished.

Two blogs.

http://americanbornmuslimah.blogspot.com/

It has so upset me. I started this blog then I lost it. Now I want to blog and I could not find my blog. So I made another one. Then found my blog. This is so upsetting.

Anyway, I will some how be down to one soon inshallah.

Two Blogs.

I have tried my best to get this blog deleted with my email and have one blog. But, I was not successful. So I will try to make this my blog and delete the other. Inshallah.

Let's hope this works this time.
