Journey to the Hereafter


Imagine yourself after you pass away Imagine your grave through night and through day Wishing that you did not do as they say Wishing that you had got up and had prayed.


Imagine, my friends, the day that you died Imagine all of the tears that they cried Remember how it felt when your body was tied Remember how it felt in the grave which you lied.


Imagine the day you'll be called to account Imagine the sum to which your life will amount Think for a moment of the deeds which you mount Think for a moment how much they will count.



What will they say of you when you are dead?What will they say, what will be said?Will they speak of all the poor who you fed?Will they remember all the Qu'ran that you read?


Think not of them, but of Allah, Lord of mankind and jinnThink of Allah when tempted to sin Think of the paradise which you will dwell in. Don't wait till later to think what might have
been.

Summer in the City
















I passed my exam, Im so happy I finally passed the class. Thanks to everyone who gave me positive advice, and prayers. My apologies for not updating my blog, I just have been really buzy lately. I adopted a little dog a couple days a go, I have also have another dog a pitbull. I thought she was getting lonely when I left the house. They keep each other in good company. I watched the movie "Lil Man" yesterday, it wasnt as funny as I thought it would have been. It seems like the summer has gone by so fast, and I havent even went on vacation yet, soon the new semester will be starting again; one more year. But, I guess you could say I have had a very productive summer. ~LOL~ I hope you, my brothas and sistas are having a great summer. Salaams!

Blaazing
















As you probaly know it has been getting hotter by the day. Here in Nevada it has been at its highest, up to 210 degrees. Oh Allah, I think it is time for another ice age. For me it has even been too hot sleep, or eat during the day. My friend who recenty visited London said it was the hottest its ever been. I really do feel sory for other countries who are not use to such a heat wave. My windshield got nicked the other day on my way to work from a rock, I thought no big deal. When I came out for my lunch break, the nick had turned into a two inch crack from the sun(Shakes Head). Oh well, what can you do? I guess I will have to be more cautious on the freeway, and not try to get behind any more gravel trucks. Salaams!

Baaba Maal - Hamady Boiro (LIVE)
Please Read the Post Below

Baaba Maal


Thought I would share a story of one of my favorite African artist Baaba Maal.


Artist Bio:
From the northern, riverside town of Podor comes a modern musician filled with the mysteries of ancient Africa. Catlike and delicate in appearance, Baaba Maal sings with hurricane force. His music embraces the gentle filigree of West African folk, the tumult of mbalax and the toughness of rap and reggae.
Maal comes from the Toucouleur people who live in the Fulani fouta region, by the Senegal River, which divides Senegal and Mauritania. Young Baaba left home and moved to the Wolof-dominated capital Dakar to study music and explore his national culture. He soon returned to the north and spent a year with his group traveling along the Senegal River and learning from the old musicians village by village.
In 1982, Maal went to a conservatory in Paris, where he performed with his longtime friend the blind singer Mansour Seck. The duo pricked up ears in Europe with their intimate live recording, Djam Leelii. Maal returned to Senegal to form his current group, Dande Lenol, or "Voice of the Race." The group has played a key role in African pop's incorporation of hip-hop, reggae and techno, notably on their landmark 1994 release, Firin' in Fouta. Other Maal releases with Dande Lenol include Lam Toro (1992), Nomad Soul (1997) and Live at Royal Festival Hall (1999).
Maal also maintains an acoustic group that plays and records folkloric music. His 1991 acoustic release Baayo is a landmark Afropop recording, and Maal reprised its acoustic format on Missing You (Mi Yeewlii) (2001). A true original, Maal celebrates village life even as he advocates contemporary causes, including women's rights in Africa. Like the griots he admires, Maal sings of history and heroes, bringing the lessons of the past into peoples' lives today.– Banning Eyre, Courtesy Afropop Worldwide: www.afropop.org
