Brother Dege

I have been listening to Brother Dege since last week and i am loving every single song.His album Folk Songs of the American Longhair has been on repeat literally the whole week while cooking,reading,eating and everything else.I have never heard anything like this and  its amazing.He is well hidden gem of southern music and I am glad i found out about him and as if his awesomeness was not enough,his song Too old to die young is played in Tarantino's new movie Django Unchained.He is definitely one of the rare few to still make amazing music. 

I love my Papa

 Bimillahir rahmani rahim

On July 4th 2011,My papa Numan Mohommed passed away and words can't express what i felt that day.I have known papa for 20 years and those years have been the best,he taught me everything,from Islam to learning to do Namaz to listening to good music and watching great movies.He was a very religious man also very hardworking,he put 30 years of his life in making our Tea garden great.He was a great father and husband,he always sacrificed his needs for his wife and children.When i was a kid i wanted to be John Wayne,when i got little older i wanted to be a superhero but when i was 16 i just wanted to half the man papa was.He was generous and honest and yes people took advantage of that and whenever i told him to do something bout it all he told me was "Let them take advantage of it and cheat me and i am no one to punish them but Almighty Allah is always there and they will get what they deserve from them."This thing i could never understand and most probably will never understand that how could he be so patient and genuinely good from heart in a world like this.I remember the last few days in hospital with papa we talked a lot that time.He told me take care of mum and sis,look after myself and look after our tea garden which has been in the Mohommed family since 1856.I miss papa,i miss him miserably but all i can do is pray for him now.My family was and still is very strong bout papa passing away cause we know he would want us to be strong.I see papa in my dreams a lot and it feels so real and he always tells me that he is happy and glad bout me,I don't know if  its cause of my subconsciousness or real messages but whatever it is i like seeing papa.Papa had a very peaceful death and i am glad about that,there was no struggle.I guess that's how hayat works when your hayat in over no doctor or person can save you it's just your time.Whatever we have and whatever we are our principles our morality in thanks to papa's guidance if not for him i would have been not been who i am today.He never gave up on me even after getting kicked out from two boarding schools all he told me was"Life is not over you have still got a long way to go,pick yourself up and start all over"and this really  made me feel like i could do anything if i push hard enough.He inspired me,taught me everything i know also showed me how to balance my life.My family will always love him and pray for him so that wherever he is he is in peace.Thank you papa for everything i love you and always will.Ameen

Celebration of Death?

Recently i read an article posted my Brooklynwala,i have no idea who that is but the article made me think.apparently Sikhs in the USA also have been harassed as terrorist for their beards and their turban they wear!well in India its not the same case but the case in India is not that thankfully.what i am not thankful for is the Muslim population of India is targeted no matter how patriotic we try to act,i myself have receieved remarks from my frens maybe in a joking way but still i received comments such as 'how you coping up with your uncle dying'and 'so are you gonna take revenge'.i took them as a joke but deep down i guess it  was kinda weird that how people easily stereotype you even after knowing you for so long.
Yes,i did say woohoo and all when i found out bout Osama's death but was that right on my part.hell yea he was a dick,hell yea i hated that prick and hell yea he intrepreted Islam in his own twisted way to justify his killings but should i stoop to some fanatical dictator mass murderer's level and celebrate his death or should i ask why wasn't he captured,what bout the unanswered questions,didn't the families of victims of 9/11 deserve some answers,hell the whole world deserved those answers,but what did we do?we celebrated Osama's death and we celebrated it with pride!and the muslim people all over the world is still hated for something one person did.deep down muslim people wanna fit in with other people and majority of the muslim people refused to ask the question of why was he killed and not captured,we did so because we didn't wanna be harrased anymore but did the harrasment stop.even as muslims celebrated his death people will riducle us with question such as 'why are you celebrating,go mourn for his death' and maybe yea we should have just done that not as his followers but as human beings,we should have mourned for the unanswered questions!i still hate myself for refusing to question and joining the mass just like every other sheep and if people wanna call me a terrorist well i just don't give a shit cause there is a huge  difference between a muslim and mass murderer.learn the differnce not all bearded people are bad,not all people who wear turbans wanna kill you same as not all muslims are terrorists 

Michael Muhammad Knight

Michael Muhammad Knight

I never heard of Michael Muhammad Knight before june 2010.i got to know bout him by actually watching the trailer of taqwacores.my first reaction was that he is one of those salman rushdie kinda guys no offence to anyone.before i tell you more bout him let me tell yall something,me growing up as a muslim kid is hard see i love music and i wanna make music inshalla one day i wanna also write a comic book but according to Islam dictated by the Imams,Sheiks etc told all these things are haram and i felt like a bad muslim that time even though i prayed,read the quran,didn't drink,didn't eat pork and the whole deal.the i read Mike Knight's book the Taqwacores and there is a line in there it goes something like this-'My Allah is too big and too open for my Islam to be small and closed.'this line gave me goosebumps.

 Mike Knight wrote a lot of books one of them which is made into a movie.he is an author,punk,wrestler and a muslim in his own terms.lot of people have criticised his writings but they don't  realize his writings are mostly on Islam from a point of view of the rejects,freeks and the misunderstood,these are the people which mainstream Islam portrays as the "bad" muslims.he is a hero for the muslim youth and he is not trying to form a cult or whatever.what i think is he is just a person who is trying to express Islam in his own way.now does that make him a kafir?or a person who has balls to stand up for what he believes in!

Taqwacore

Michael Muhammad Knight in red

Early 2010 was the first time i heard bout taqwacore,my sisi once again introduced me to it.i first went on youtube and checkd out the trailer since she told me it is also a movie,first of all i have never seen or heard anything like that,i was stunned.first of all taqwacore is a not only a genre of music but also a movement i mean i guess it gave me a lot of courage as a muslim kid,taqwacore basically is a portmanteau of hardcore and the arabic word "taqwa" which mean god fearing which is basically love and fear of god.its kind of a muslim punk scene and i aint talking bout gay ass blink 182 punk though i did listen to it when i was younger,i am talking bout "the ramones","dead kennedys" and "sex pistols" kinda punk.taqwacore does not only play punk it alao plays hip hop,i dont know how to define it exactly but i do know is that whoever is taqwacore(yes i said "who")can be themselves,they can throw their masks up in the air and me 101% themselves.taqwacore is also a book by michael muhammad knight(who kicks ass).i really have no clue what i am talking bout but i do know that now i can be myself no matter what and taqwacore is not only for muslims, its for evryone!in taqwacore people have their own definition of  Islam there are people  who drink alcohol and smoke weed but also pray five times a day!they defy and question some rules of  Islam but they still love their faith!i am not here trying to justify my drinking or smoking,i am here to say "yes i pray five times a day,yes i am religious and yes i drink sometimes and smoke a lotta weed and yes i love a non muslim girl" orthodox muslims will tell me i am a sinner but i know people who know bout taqwacore will prolly tell me to take a shot and not care bout the orthodox!I respect and love my religion i dont mean to disrespect anyone!For me Islam is the way of life and this is how my life is!Sallam walaikum.

All haters welcome!

"This is dedicated to all the douchebags and haters"   this past few days i have been getting a lot of hate comments and you know what?i have never felt so alive.i mean one way or the other we all are haters,i mean we do hate something but it depends on what length we willing to go or matter of fact how low we willing to stoop!like for example i hate corrupt governments i mean evryone does except for the people who are in the government so in some way thas justifiable thas a good kinda hate,these haters dont talk loud,they  state their opinions and stand behind it,i respect these haters and hell even i am one of those haters!the other haters are of the worst kind they are little rats running around looking for things to hate i feel sad for these haters coz they really dont have a life,they never try to appreciate anything and they think by talking smack it makes them strong,powerful and "cool" well, newflash haters that just makes you look sad and pathetic and desperate for attention.i love haters,i mean come on haters take out time to comment on my blog which is not even famous,i love those haters.haters are funny they talk big and strong in chatrooms and write hate comments on blog but they will never have the guts to tell it on yer face,when i got my first hate i ran to my mum and dad(yes i love and respect them and its nuthin uncool or cool about it,its just that i am human) and told em"mum,dad i got my first hate comment" my dad got up and said"wow are you finally doing something right?"if these haters really mattered they would me changing the world!if i would have got my first hate comment few days back i would mad and hurl insults at him and waste time actually i did hurl a few insults but then again thas just me then today a wise bearded fren of mine messsaged me saying just ignore them!i was like damn! you are right btw me and my bearded fren are both wise coz we have facial hair.so when you encounter hater next time ignore it i mean if he is actually reading yer stuff and then commenting you already won,,you made the hater read a thing which he hates so as nicki minaj says "haters,you can kill yourself" and haters next time you leave a comment also put in you adress so that i can kill!nahh m kidding  yer life is worth shit."Haters are like slinkies they are really good for nothing,but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs."
