For those of who are always worried about the present determining our future, have you ever had a phase where you just feel so low and begin to believe there is no way out?
I am at a stage where I feel as if I and drowning in my own sins. As if the Shaitaan himself has a hold of me which I'm finding extremely hard to fight. He senses my willingness to change and always comes up with new techniques to stop me from progressing. Every one step forward I make, he drags me back another two. I keep telling myself that it's just a phase and I will get over it but deep down I'm thinking, "For how much longer will this last?".
I know some of you may be thinking or would advise me to; do zikr, make dua, repent, the usual. But have you ever felt so low that you feel embarrassed to raise your hands up to Allah and ask for forgiveness or feel unworthy of being granted that forgiveness? No doubt Imaan fluctuates, but that drop needs a very soon climb and a climb I am determined to do and do so soon.
I don't know what else to write at this particular moment in time, but I do request you all to keep me in your duas and no doubt In Shaa Allah, once I get past this 'phase', there will be no looking back.
I hope you'll take time and read my future blog posts. If you ever wish to talk, I am only a tweet away @TheFursaan.

"Brothers and Sisters in Islam"
"Brothers and Sisters in Islam". A simple quote but one which's meaning can be great. No doubt a quote which we have all come across at least once. It's all good calling each other akhi or ukthi over social networking sites or in person but what is the deeper meaning?
When the Prophet (s.a.w) migrated to Madinah, he had said to the Muhajiroon and the Ansaar that, "You are all brothers in Islam." This was taken so literally that one Ansaar who was partnered with a Muhajir, told him that whatever is mine is yours and was even prepared to give one of his wives to the Muhajir (Cannot remember the names of the Sahabi off the top of my head).
My point being, it irritates me a little if someone calls me "Brother" whether it be it a boy or girl, simply because once you call me your "brother", unless I can fulfill my duties as a brother towards you, I find it a disrespect to the term. Some only use the term to either 'sister zone' or 'brother zone' someone which is just ridiculous. A total mockery of the whole concept. You may think it trivial, but this is a matter that means a lot more to me than a quote. Therefore, I would appreciate if you do not label me as your 'brother' unless I can fulfill my brotherly duties towards you.

Enter the Fursaan
Welcome.
Welcome to what entertains the possibility of entering a whole new world and dimension. A dimension that is, of a very clouded mind. A mind of the intrigued, a mind of a wanderer. Where questions arise and opinions are kept to oneself. Never have I expressed myself they way I propose to do so, but express myself I shall.
At a point in life where I see myself beginning to question my surroundings and what role I have to play, I hope to give you a slightly humbled view of my own life and thoughts as a simple way of expressing myself. Some of you may know me personally, or from previously speaking to me. However, I do not wish to reveal my true identity which some may find a tad bit weird but nevertheless, you can call me 'Fursaan'.
As this is just an intro, I hope you'll all take time and read my future blog posts where you will enter the mind of the Fursaan. If you ever wish to talk, I am only a tweet away @TheFursaan, so don't be in two minds, I enjoy interaction :)
