Peace be upon you all.

So yeah...I'm back! Hopefully, this time it is for sure. Not like last time when I came back for like, three days and left again for a good four months or something . Yeahno.

Time to submit some stuffs!

Peace be upon you all .

Sooo, I'm back! I've been gone for what seems like eons (in reality, it was only a couple of weeks ). But yeah, I'm here now so yay! It might take me a while to get back to your comments and such seeing as I've got thousands of deviations to view, messages and notes to reply to, and people to thank.

Feels great to be back

I haven't been feeling too great (physically or mentally) as of late so I'm sorry if I'm late replying/commenting/faving.

A million thanks to everybody who has supported me. I love you all!

It's *basum's birthday ! He's such a nice person so I thought I'd do a birthday feature for him . Please drop by his page and wish him a happy, happy, happy birthday!

Hehe, sounds like fun to me !

Kay so, I'm going to be away for a week or so. I might sign in once in a while and reply to notes and messages because I think I'd go crazy if I stayed away for more than three days .

Before I go, here are some features. Enjoy!

http://beautyOFeternity.deviantart.com/journal/22449935/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:40:58 PST Indeficienter, =sStranger and ~rami777

Rules : The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names.)

I have an infatuation for zombies and anything to have to do with them
I dip bread in coke.
I kicked a hole in my grade 8 classroom wall.
When I'm nervous, I crack my knuckles, my fingers, my knees, my ankles and my toes. Don't ask.
I want to live in the desert (or at least see one in real life).
I'm addicted to dA

Masha’Allah, Sheikh Mishary al-Afasy has such a beautiful voice I was just listening to Surah al-Layl and it sent shivers up my spine. So touching and beautiful, masha'Allah.
You can listen to it here: [link]
[If you want to download this Surah or any other Surah, use this link]: [link]

(Al-Layl - The Night)
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا يَغۡشَىٰ
By the Night as it conceals (the light);

وَٱلنَّہَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰٓ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female―

إِنَّ سَعۡيَكُمۡ لَشَتَّىٰ
Verily (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the Best―

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ ۥ لِلۡيُسۡرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the Best―

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ ۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the Path to Misery;

وَمَا يُغۡنِى عَنۡهُ مَالُهُ ۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).

إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأَخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.

فَأَنذَرۡتُكُمۡ نَارً۬ا تَلَظَّىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;

لَا يَصۡلَٮٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡأَشۡقَى
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
.Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs
وَسَيُجَنَّبُہَا ٱلۡأَتۡقَى

But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it―

ٱلَّذِى يُؤۡتِى مَالَهُ ۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self-purification,

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ ۥ مِن نِّعۡمَةٍ۬ تُجۡزَىٰٓ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,

إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
But only the desire to seek for the countenance of their Lord Most High.

وَلَسَوۡفَ يَرۡضَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.

...
Nothing like Qu'ran to make your day

I’m not really feeling well so, I ask of you to please make du’a/pray for me to get better insha’Allah.

JazakAllahu khayran m’dears

Ma’asalaam

P.S. Some loverly people/artists you need to pay a visit:

With dA for only three days and I'm already addicted It's more addictive than FaceBook. Anywaaays, here is a nice poem I came across by Hashim bin Ambia. Enjoy

The Voyage Home
Hashim bin Ambia

For too long, we have been adrift on the open sea.
Far, far away from home.
Unprepared, we are humiliated by these storms.
Our small boat, sails broken, a victim to the winds

Cross currents, too strong for our thin arms.
Waves, soaring higher than our humble hope.
Our heads, bowed even before defeat.
Our damning eyes, avoiding one anothers'
Our souls, as wild and sometimes as lonely as the open sea.

Let us cease to curse nature.
Abusing our lips, with one anothers' names.
Let us mend this broken boat,
this broken sail,
this broken soul.

Let us harness the wind.
Make use of the currents.
With faith and sweat, set sail to our land of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Amidst this storm, let us begin the voyage home.

Psst: Dedicated to my sStranger [link]

Ma'asalam
