Naeem's Blog

An odd mix of Islam, politics, and off-the-wall news as seen by an American Muslim of Pakistani descent currently living in Saudi Arabia.

What He Said...

Thursday, October 27, 2011

As a follow-up to my last post on the struggle of squaring the two circles of our existence (worldly and other-worldly), I would like to point you all to a very similar post by blogger Shardul of Allah titled "Life Revolving Around Work".  He nicely captures my sentiments.

Just not sure how he was able to read my post and then copy it 6 months ago!?  :-)

u know, sometimes, when you look to closely at something - it doesn't make sense. BUT, if you zoom out... things start to fall into place.... ramble on...

I could not reply earlier because I was in the Kingdom making hajj, alhamdulillah. However, I checked your blog once there (through zain mobile internet) and saw your gesture. I prayed for guidance and good health for you (by mentioning your name) and your family on the day of arafah.

Thanks again for your kind gesture.

Glad to see you got back safely. May Allah accept your Hajj and thanks for the dua'a.
