I just wanted to come back and make an entry. Yeah, so I'm still around. I'm good Alhamdulilah. My wife and I want to move to Michigan if we find a place. I finished school and work full time. I live in a humble apartment with my wife, and though I own so little, I feel like I have so much and are blessed. I look around and remember the home of our Rasool SAW and how little he had and even then I feel so ashamed of ALL I have! Glory to Allah, we are a generation of wasters! Ya Allah! Forgive us and guide us Ya Ghafoor! Our money is enough, our food is enough, our clothes is enough. Excess is the hellfire. Plain and simple! There is no need for extra, I hold on to nothing in this life. All I need is 3ilm and my wife, and Alhamdulilah, I can go anyway, be stripped of anything, and survive fine. Inshallah! These are mere words, and if they are put to the test my My Lord, the nI pray I am steadfast and prove as a thankful 3abd. I am not one of those kinds of people that need fancy this or that, or desire new this, in style things, or friends even. Yes good brothers is a good thing, but in the end I have no responsibility on them, just my wife and family. So I choose her over them. I don't even know many good brothers her ethat is why I want to move to Michigan Inshallah make du3ah for us. I just want this good environment for my children until I can make 7ijrah with them Inshallah ta3ala. Children need friends, and I wouldn't want to deprive them of that because of the untrustworthy families around.

Let me tell some of you... life changes you... incidents change you. I know even just a year or 2 from this day I would not have been like this. At that time I was sporting Sean Jean gear. Yes, I rolled them jeans up! But it still mattered to me who the designer was. I did not wear a thaub, but I wore big Rocawear T-shirts, thinking I was down with both worlds. This  is not something possible. You can't follow the ways of the kuffar while trying to maintain an Islamic identity. This is unheard of. You are just trying to please to Kufar which isn't holding on to your Deen. Alhamdulilah hi Rabil 3Alamin, I will tell you this- After I got married, I went on such a journey I never thought I would go on. As soon as it came down to having money for someone other than myself and having to protect someone and care for them, because they showed me so much love, I became so humbled. When you are married you learn from each other. And when you live together for the first time, there is so much beauty on the way you see each other and the way you see life. You finally have someone you are so dependent on. And I know us dudes think the Ikhwan has our back no matter what but the companionship of a woman, a wife, a Muslimah, a nurturer, does wonders for the mind, body and soul. I pray to Allah that every believer is enjoined with another and they grow together in the path of Islam and righteousness. Your spouse can do alot for you and you can do a lot for them. It takes a lot of compromising and understanding. Islam beautifies relationships tremendously and enjoins 2 souls for the sake of this religion. I mean, really, spouses are a mercy for one another. Look at how Aadam AS was in Jannah feeling boredome and how Allah the Almighty created from him a mate, Hawwa. People are literally made for each other. This is the beauty of Al Khaliq! Brothers and sisters, I urge you to fulfill half your deen and get married Inshallah. Marry for the sake of safeguarding yourself and improving your deen. For if you marry otherwise your marriage will be complete sadness. Marry someone who you admire their personality and love for Allah, and you will find yourself even trying to catch up to them! Trying new things in the deen with them. Praying together, reading together, listening to Bayyaans together. It's good encouragement. My point in saying all of this is to share with my brothers and sisters how critical this milestone should be taken. I see how judgemental people can be when it comes to marriage. "I don't want to marry her, she's too light, too dark, too short, she isn't that good in math, she doesn't know this or that, he's not from my country, he's so much older, he doesn't make enough money, this this this, that that that" These are whispers of the Shaitan! Have shame that you use his words! May Allah protect us from the Shaitan! We have to stop being superficial and see that someone's heart is even just WILLING to give everything up for the sake of Allha and accept that person and be there to help them. Remember, you are not perfect, so do not seek perfection. Allah will instill love in your hearts and allow you to see such a beauty in one another that you will feel this love was meant to be. wAllahi! You think if you marry for the sake of Allah that he will betray you! Wailaka! Believe in your Lord, he will provide what is best for you. Let go of the glitter and pomp of this world and embrace the pathway to Jannah. I am ever so concerned for the young brothers and sisters who waste away their youth and sink their scale with bad deeds from just speaking few words to one another, mingling with one another and such. We've adopted the ways of the nonMuslims where we think we are not ready for marriage because we haven't reached age or because we haven't completed school or this or that reason. Allah is The PRovider and will be with those who struggle for His sake. My sister just turned 15 and wAllahi I already have my eyes on 2 potential suitors for her, wAllahi! She is coming to age and I want and NEED to protect her from the evils of society. I would like for her to by married no later by 17, Inshallah! It's all about the Sunnah and in these times it's even more crutial for the youth to get married at a younger age because temptation is there, in everything. You know what I'm talking about. I can go on and on as I'm sure you can tell. It literally pains my heart, I feel my chest burning, to see the state of the young ones today. There is such ignorance in them and they are so far from the words of Allah.

Humm, speaking of marriage. (Yeah you thought I was done talking LOL) I would like to congratulate a couple on their marriage. I pray that Allah blesses them tremendously and make them a means for become better Muslims! And may they be united in Jannatul Firdaws! And may my wife and I meet them there! AMEEN AMEEN THUMMA AMEEN. For real man! lol Pssh, newleyweds, this is the time man, this is the time! Word lol. Alhamdulilah though, I'm not that experienced, It's only been about a year since I've been married. But what I can tell a brotha is to be very considerate to the sister, women are very soft. I knew this already- having 7 sisters. But they need attention and like, I'll be blunt bro, lol, they like the little things, so much they like the little things you do. They like when you around when they are doing things and when you pitch in. And women are hopeless romantics so to say, flowers, notes and chocolate does wonders lol. Just be mindful of her feelings and let her speak to you, they have a lot on mind and it is good for them to be able to tell you anything, even when it's something about you. Don't show your anger too much, but don't be passive with everything. Never leave each other angry, go back to her and apologize no matter who is to blame. There will be times when she does this too.. and In return Inshallah she will be the most precious thing in your life and will treat you even better than you treat her, in my humble opinion.

This piece is dumb long LOL. It has been a while since I've typed things up. But you know when you start with 1 thing your mind keeps coming with more. But I think that's about all I can give for a while. I'm not good with expressing myself so forgive me Inshallah. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Oh wait, yeah so congratulations to that brother man! Abdul Malik, it's like you are an old aquaintance when I never met you Akh. But I hope things are good, you seem happy though you haven't said much. Hit your site up with an entry Akh, I like your words Inshallah. Give us a piece of mind, some news, some life stories, married life, life status anything brother. You much be busy though, these early weeks lol. It's a good thing though, very beautiful thing.

Congratulations Abdul Malik and wife-

lol

EDITED: also Congrats to brother ibn_qalam on his engagement Mashallah.

‘May Allaah bless for you (your spouse) and bless you, and may He unite both of you in goodness.’

everyone say Ameen! And go congratulate them now! Yalla Yalla! lol I hope I don't sound like I'm over reacting, but when you are married and someone you respect for the sake of Allah is married and show happiness, you will feel the same. This is such a blessing and ra7mah from our Rabb and is a big step as well. Mubrook

SalaamuAlaikum my muslims? How's it goin'? Too busy for Xanga these days, Alhumdulilah things are going good by the grace of Allah.

Ijust wanted to say may Allah protect the brothers and sisters who were fortunate enough to performHajj this year! May He make it easy on them and bring them back safely Ameen! And may they remember us in their Du'ah's too Ameen!

I hope InshAllah next year I have enough to take my wife and me over there. I want to do it as soon as I can. I know it makes such a change and difference in people, and it's better to get that when younger than older so it can shape your life InshAllah.

Remember to make Du'ah and fast even though you're home. There's lots of blessings this timing even for those who cannot perform the Hajj.

SAlaamuAlaikum

so how is everyone? i'm chillin yea. wait no i'm not, school is getting hard now; but just another thing that has to be dealt with. i haven't heard any good speeches in a while, seems to me like gatherings are limited these days. maybe me and my boys will have to try and put somethin' together ourselves.

lol, i have this urge to write this in paragraph form and make the proper puncuation corrections and capitalizations. that's what all this writing of papers in school does to you lol. it's not a bad thing though, but to me it doesn't really matter much. grammar and english are nothing to me really. i just tell it, no matter how busted it sounds hahah

ow, my little sister Iman broke her arm. i don't even know how she did it, too many people in this house to keep on top of things lol. she's a tough one though, because she HAS Iman mashallah. the other day my brother and i were discussing how the names each of us been blessed with reflects our personality and who we are.

the eldest in my family is 23, my sister Salmah. Salmah means peaceful. no doubt she is. ever since i got married my parents have been nagging her lol, but she remains calm and peaceful, because she is Salmah!

my older brother is 21, his name is Zaid. Zaid means abundance. He got married 2 years ago, same age i got married. Zaid and his wife Hafsa moved right after he got married. he didnt want to stay and life off my parents. man i admire his hard work, here i am married living in my home.. lol. he calls me a punk and so maybe i am wordup lol. hes working hard in school, graduated early, works and Hafsa is expecting a boy. im gonna be an uncle! yahhhhooooo lol! he is well off and brought abundance of rizq and barakah to his home with the rahma of Allah of course! alhamdulilah!

then there's me. hi, i'm Mikaeel. we all know angel Mikaeel, yes, yes. i have no idea how that connects to me lol, maybe my siblings could clear that up. though my wife does say i'm an angel.. ::clears throat:: oh yes, and i'm 19.

my sister Yusra is a year younger than me, 18. i won't say anything because she's of age and single lol. Yusra means prosperous. she works at a woman's clinic and makes mad money lol. she has some kinda fear her future husband won't give her money, then she can flaunt what she's saved in his face haha. women i tell ya..

then my brother Sajid who's 17 is the 1 person in this world who i admire for his faith!! he's the one that helped guided me closer to Allah, the one that threw out my razor when the beard started coming in, gave me his kufis, bought me thobes, and a salah mat. he paved the path for me, all i had to do was walk on it. Sajid, one who prostates to Allah it comes from the root word SA JA DA or sajdah. that kid's  my hero for real, i owe him so much. shout outs to Sajid, whattap bruh! lol

my 12 year old brother Taher is a neat freak. come on, what 12 year old cares about neatness, and a guy! we guys know we messy lol. but his toy box is organized and arranged. his crayons are set in color order! loll! he is very critical to keeping things in place and tidy. my mother prays he doesn't change lol. Taher means pure, clean.

Iman is 9..

then there's the twins! cool peeps, cool peeps lol. they're 7, Tawfeeq and Ihsan. Tawfeeq's the smart one, you know how with twins there's the smart one and the dumb one. j/k lol, alhamdulilah they both wise. but Tawfeeq will be successful because he is more focused mashallah. and successful is just what Tawfeeq means. Ihsan is the highest level of Iman. he's already waiting to grow a beard lol. but my dad always says how Ihsan was the first one to learn salah and suras before we all did, and he was very young too. he wants to be an Imam inshallah! he wants to name it Masjid Al-Ihsan hahah. damn kids, i really hope he doesn't change his mind. Tawfeeq wants to help him out, but he doesn't want to be an Imam, he want's to be a faqih inshallah.

my mother then had another child. before she was born they gave her the name Jannah. my mother had a miscarriage. inshallah the baby's name is her abode.

again my mother was pregnant and my dad wanted to name this girl Jannah, but my mother said Jannah is one person and this is another. they named her Ayah. Ayah was born and she was a sign that brought peace to my mother's heart that she could still have children.

3 year old Saliha is the closest to my father. daddy's girl lol. Saliha means devoted, pious, and pure. i hope she will be inshallah! my older brother and i named her!

my mom wanted 1 more kid,but mashallah she was blessed with another set of twins! we were all like yayyyy but we're not the ones carrying them lol. the twins are the youngest, almost a year. my mother said it actually wansn't as bad having twins because there's so many of us to help her. the twins are Hidayah and Naseeha, guidance and advice.

thats it for the Amjad family.. hopefully! oh yes Amjad means glorious. lol my dad says when i leave there may be room for 1 more, but he's not the one carryin' 'em for 9 damn months! haha for real props to mothers.especially mine, she's been on it since before 20 mashallah. she was a young mother, which is funny 'cus her name is Umaymah, little mother. and may Allah bless my father for working hard to support our family. not only that, he's always there for us as well, he holds the family together greatly. His name is Imaad, pillar.

there's my autobio lol. onthe real i should write a book because many things happen in 1 single day here. you could imagine lol. i just notice i never intro'd me. i probably won't be backfor a while,so enjoy reading that!

Allah bless u all, Salaamualaikum!

lovin life.
