Tender Mercies of God & Provident Living

I like the simple way these important messages are conveyed. A Mormon's speech with underlying Islamic way of life & beliefs. Though they found the Lord through Jesus (peace be upon him), we are blessed with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) leading us to that same Lord, in the most compassionate way...may we learn from each other & be strengthened in our faiths :)

Why "No Pork, No Lard" simply Cannot do unless...

u come into a situation from Sura Al-An'am ayat 145:

"Say (O Muhammad): "I find not in the Message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine― for it is an abomination or what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than Allah's." But (even so) if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits― thy Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

otherwise, in all other circumstances, Halal meats are what Muslims (non-Muslims can choose  that too) should eat. well i'm not preachin or tryin to bring down others, but i guess in such times where "No Pork No Lard" food are bein pushed so much in our mult-racial & multi-religion society & people are tryin to cash in on us, so great is temptation But we have to be Wise in choosing our food (yeaps check those food labels too), whether do we eat for blessings or simply for lustful desires. Well, it's not juz food but for everythin else in tis temporal life...

take heed, should u care beloved brothers & sisters...here's why:

"Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah's name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you,― except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress. Leave (O mankind, all kinds of) sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit.Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah's Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allah). And certainly, the Shayatin (devils) ever inspire their friends to contend with you; if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Mushrikûn (polytheists) [because they (devils and their friends) made lawful to you to eat that which Allah has made unlawful to eat and you obeyed them by considering it lawful to eat, and by doing so you worshipped them, and to worship others besides Allah is polytheism]."  Surah Al-An'am 119-121

I'd Rather Dance With You-Kings of Convenience

Didn't vid the whole song cos I'd rather dance!

Misread-Kings of Convenience

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know
