Pearls from the Path is my effort to seek and share the beauty that Islam offers. Everything I post here is a reflection of who I am and what I find inspiring in my aspiration to finally achieve a peaceful state amid the clutter of this world. I hope you find it of value, and I pray that you’ll enjoy this journey with me, in sha Allah.
"A faith based upon proofs will crumble if those proofs are disproven. However, knowledge based in experience is the true basis but cannot be proven."

"And they will ask thee about [the nature of] divine inspiration. Say: “This inspiration [comes] at my Sustainer’s behest; and [you cannot understand its nature, O men, since] you have been granted very little of [real] knowledge."
Surat Al-Isra’, verse 85

Salam aleykum,
May I ask you to please make a little du’âa for my grand-father? He is weak, and he is afraid to die. I would be very grateful if you kept him in your du’âa, in sha Allah.
Barak Allahu fikum!
Salam aleykum,
To those who prayed: barak Allahu fikum. It means more than you can imagine! I’m saddened to report that my grand-father, Hajj Abdallah, passed away yesterday after an arduous fight against illness.
May Allah forgive him, may He cleanse him of his transgressions, may He give him an abode better than his home, may He take him into Paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave, and of the fire.
May Allah forgive our living and our dead. Amin.
