“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me”.

Many say this is the spirit of Jesus ( pbuh) the spirit in which he has left as a comfort to mankind, until his return. Na’am, yes. He will return, but his spirit does not speak to us, it does not tell of us of things to come, for Jesus all ready has done that. In addition it does not glorify Jesus either.

However Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) did do the above.

Book 030, Number 5836:

“Abu Huraira reported many ahadith from Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) and one is that Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said: I am most close to Jesus, son of Mary, among the whole of mankind in this worldly life and the next life. They said: Allah’s Messenger how is it? Thereupon he said: Prophets are brothers in faith, having different mothers. Their religion is, however, one and there is no Apostle between us (between I and Jesus Christ).”

“By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary [Jesus] will shortly descend amongst you people as a just ruler.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

I love education, I love learning. But I love art, design, creating, planning, and organizing as well.

I have a great desire to travel, and experience new things each day.

It looks like such an opportunity has arrived. Inshallah we will see what Allah ( swt) has in store for me this year.

I may have an opportunity to do a bit of travel, and gain some photography experience, and get paid for it. Yes, get paid to learn, and travel. My favorite things. Learn, travel, and art.
All wrapped in one nice little package.

We will see what is to come. I promise to keep you all up to date.

With a flexible schedule, and family support. I will still homeschool the kids, but probably go back to CAVA.
We shall see.

Have you ever felt a great disconnect from the world; for all it brings, and has to offer. I don’t mean safety, shelter, food, and clothing. But it’s elements of so called entertainment, and various people?

Have you ever grown tired of the world, where you want little to do with it. Where other than to worship Allah ( swt) you see little meaning to anything else?

The things that once you held dear, or enjoyed spending your time with, have become the very thing in which you find boredom and useless in.

I ask myself, am I selfish, and discontent with this world, and never satisfied, because it is never enough?

I am not sure. Its not more that I want. More time, more money, a big house, or car. But something else. Something I can not describe.

Can I find it , hear on this earth? I feel lost, like I am on a journey in which seems to go on forever. A place I want to run from, but unsure of the destiny that lies ahead.

I feel as if I am in a place of where I do not belong, but unsure of where it is that I will fit in. I long for it to all be over, to be with my lord. Ive grown tired of this world, it’s people and what it has to offer.

I do not see myself content with anything other than Allah. There is nothing in comparison to him, and feeling his love.

Is that ungrateful? Am I un-thankful for all the blessings of this world that he has bestowed upon me?

I would give it all to be near to him.
He is like a love that has gone away, never knowing when you will find yourself in the arms of love again.

I desire my beloved, and so I read his words and seek nearness to him in them, but yet it makes me long for him more, and desire where I am less.

I fell lost.
What is the purpose of it all?
What is the meaning?
Have I been left here as a punishment?

Oh, Allah I beg you, not to forget me.
I am all alone.

So if you follow my tweets, you may remember me mentioning something about a vision, or a dream. It is difficult to explain. It was not a prophet vision or anything like that. It was more like an Aha moment.

For the past year I have wanted to make Hijrah, for the sake of Allah, to a Muslim country. Hoping that inshallah, it will bring benefit to my family and I. There are many blessings, that the Prophet ( pbuh) has mentioned for those that make Hijrah for the sake of God. Not eduction, not employment, etc.

Last year, I asked one of my teachers about his travels and studies over seas. Yemen was one on the list. I began to do some research about Yemen, and feel deeply in love with its history, culture, and possibilities as to what it has to offer spiritually.

I say Spiritual, but i mean more so religious.  I am a spiritual person, meaning i feel a connect with God, a personal relationship that just he and I share. I believe in a higher power. A Creator. But I also believe in laws, and justice, religious traditions, based on faith, and knowledge.

My life, for the past 8 years, has all been based on Islam. Quran and Sunnah. I find it a struggle to practice Islam in the way I would like living here in the US. Everything is so fast pace, go go. money, money. Its a big distraction. I seek a more relaxed life style of simplicity. Just me , my tea, and a good book. Studying and learning about Allah(swt) and what he wants from us as people, and developing myself. My soul.

So in between being sleep and awake. I saw myself walking down a dirt, yemeni road.People were not looking at me as if I were from another planet because I wore a veil over my head and face. I could hear the call to prayer, and I awoke in tears.

Ah, ha ! That is it. I will go to Yemen for the summer. If I don’t like it I can just come back home.  I think its that easy. There is nothing to it, but to do it. I have wanted to move for a while. But I am not alone, I have a family, and they are not as excited about Yemen as I am.  In fact, they think I am a bit off my rocker ( lol). But I want to do it, none the less.

I am back to the drawing board, creating a plan; and inshallah you will find me blogging from Yemen this summer. Inshallah. Ameen.
