London Markaz aka Masjid Ilyas aka Mega Mousque

Been ages since I last visited a Thursday night gathering. I must say it felt good. Talks at any Markaz keep it simple. They don't go in to politics, or fiqh issues and keep it on Iman, Salaat and dawa work.

Reminders are good for those who give them and those who listen to them.

Nothing to Show but Grey Hair

I've had quite a few silver hair sprout up on my head. But only noticed my first silver beard strand the other day. Which got me thinking how little I've done in my thirty years of life. No great works worthy of mention. I haven't funded the digging of a water well in a third world country, or memorised anything past the last ten surahs of the Qu'raan, no consistent zikr, nafil fast or salaat, no memorising of sahih hadith or du'aas, you get the picture.

In light of this I'll be saving and encouraging others to help fund the digging of a water well. I'll update once I've ironed out the details.
