Quote of the day:
Seek forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance. (11:4)
Abu Hurairah (r.a) has related that the Holy Prophet said: God does not regard your bodies and looks, but looks at your hearts. (Muslim)
If you spend you wealth in way of God, He will immediately show His support for you.
No one has ever been made poor by one's financial sacrifices in the way of God. If someone dares to take a step, God lends him his own support (Promised Messiah (as))

Born in Los Angeles, California, Latifah was always ready to perform. As a child, her mother would make up songs for her to sing at family reunions, making sure she wasn't afraid of the spotlight. As she got older, she found other passions that led her to put down the microphone and pick up some sticks. Latifah played the drums for Redan High School's marching band, in Stone Mountain, Georgia. She then parlayed her talent into a band scholarship to attend Clark Atlanta University. Latifah can sing, rap, and write poetry. She has been writing music since she was ten years old. After deciding to showcase her talent, she has been performing regularly around Atlanta's hot spots. "I perform because there are few young, African-American women that are not conforming to societys expectations. I want to be the one to prove that you can be yourself and still get support." Latifah wants her words to be felt and not just heard.
Her first album, entitled "They Call Me Crazy", is a compilation of spoken word, hip-hop, r&b, and neo-soul flavor. "Radio" is her first recorded song that was inspired by a radio morning show who exclaimed they would never play poetry on the air. Latifah is determined to change their minds.
As-salamu Alaikum: A woman has strengths that amaze me, she can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens, she holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying. Cries when she's happy, and laughs when she's afraid, her love is unconditional, there's only one thing wrong with her and that is that sometimes she forgets what she is worth." Pass this onto every beautiful woman you know, I just did.
Dream well the story of this night Where soppy ties have no meaning; in a world where we're stringed as poppets and life's value simply disappear under the shade of cunningly crippling umbrella. Pang of subdued cries against tangible oppressors Come into form within the conscious psyche as the moon above tonight.
Whether a host, a guest in far away lands, a healer, a leader a follower or shedding hopes to diminishing lives, No savior pays blind eyes, save the day And find contentment in personal pain a pleasure. Day that haste away from dawn with its goals yet unmet, is forever dwarfed by night's tales yet untold...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?...
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"One who regards their intellectual knowledge as ignorance has deep insight. He who overrates his intellectual achievement as definite truth is deeply sick. Only when one is sick of this sickness can one cease to be sick."
