So pure
Each tiny flake
Made to join another
In wondrous cascading snow storm
I wonder why God made us so near
When it thunders the walls vibrate
When your thoughts race
My heart trembles at your distaste
Maybe the ink on the pen has dried
But destiny is changed by one powerful stroke
That when two souls mate
Their history is remade
On the winds of affection
Only one song plays harp on my window
It's when will you show your countenance
That my wintery mind gets her moonlit sky
Joseph was entralled by the King's wife
But all the women of Egypt lost their fingers on his cuteness
Veiled is the beauty of this warden
Only the fingers of this prisoner can unleash
While days go by tormented
And nights are lived through for the sunrise
Let the bond of your molten memories
Be the opener of new horizons
You walk among angels
Your virtue not lesser than Mary
The embrace of a thousand damsels
Will not equal one of your passing touches.
White world fills my outside
Cold and colder the intruder
So let me light your fireplace
For in this heart lies its matches.

I used copy and paste my writings on this blog but now it doesn't allow me to.
I have to get accustomed to writing direct. I'm now inspired to since one of my ardent readers has reminded me how my writings are like chocolate during christmas!
It's good to learn that when you give your thoughts to an idea it grows into a reality.
I met a wonderful person who directed me to a great concept- wellness.
He was after me for a year to listen to his presentation. I was too preoccupied with things to give him the attention and time. I dismissed it as another pyramid. But in summer I got a call from him when I needed a speaker to talk to my audience on health and fasting. He would usually charge 2000. since he has 7 degrees and 2 PhDs but he offfered his knowledge free!
My audience was thrilled and I felt as if I was listening to one of my own talks and research on health and spirituality.
I have since decided to work along with him and his energetic teamster - a pastor- to bring wealth and health into the lives of all through a 25 years time tested natural product line called melaleuca.com from the Aussie plant of T Tree.
Are you challenged in health and wealth ? Then if you are here is your chance! It's just a matter of time!

Canucks is life poem
Canucks is life!
Habeeb Alli
From Guyana
5 years since in Canada
They ask me why I came
From where do I originate?
Do I have any English Skills?
They want to know of my religious base too
I was blessed to be born in Guyana
Studied in India
And travelled the world over and over
Where pains and laughter mingle
Yet I chose cold Canada
Where my families and friends
Made babies and bought houses
To be my children’s residence forever
It’s the freedom to live
The fearlessness to party
The respect of my multiple origins
The sweetness of polite Canadians all about
This love found new
Gives education fragrance
Women color, dignity and saris
Besides constitutional protection from machetes
Opportunities and more chances
Canux is life
With a canoe or a cricket bat
Here is where my bones will dissolve.

another youth dead
It is with deepest sadness and sincere introspection that I seek to key these few lines concerning the recent tragedy on the East Bank road- snuffing the lives of three able young men of our dear soil. While the reports of the three dailies are yet to reconcile the real truth and the courts are still investigating the actual accident, I must say that such incidents have not been rare in Guyana when it comes to road tragedy.
I remember participating many years ago in the opening the the Mahaica-Georgetown highway and in leading the prayers mentioned 'safety from carnage'. Today I have to mourn the victims, the same being my cousins' son- Asheki. All these youths are the tomorrow of our coveted nation and more must be done to educate, protect and remind our road users that each life is as important as theirs and the taking of one life is as taking that of the entire human race.
Asheki, and like the others, are deeply mourned by their loved ones as well as terribly angered by the events. Of course the survivor is also a victim of this traumatic experience and will need therapy. Asheki was another future pilot of Guyana, another budding sports enthusiast and another blossoming citizen heading for a bright 'legit' future. Events like these should have the interfaith community praying and talking, the parliamentarians legislating and the media personnel debating including the rich making pledges for establishing foundations in the name of such educated youths who did not live to see their dreams come through.
I pray for our brothers' Heavenly residence and endurance on behalf of their grieving loved ones. Quran says in 2:156 Those who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah/God We belong, and to Him is our return":- Yours sincerely,

Aunti Ameena happy bday!
Sister, Mom, Girl, Aji,Granny
Younger than Elizabeth Taylor
You cross life rivers
Not only Little Biaboo
But Niagara and Florida Keyes
With burdens like Mount Everest
Yet these shouldersStand tall
With grace, beauty and Faith
You enjoy the goodies
Long after he left you alone
Smiling on every encounter
You sing, cry and pray
In the world of your retired moments
Between countries and kids
When this day arrives
And wishes pour from hearts and flowers
Know it's not the ones not here
And the things that should have
But love and belonging
Is what makes us care
This is one Radika
That planted her trees
In cement and affection
That today their fruits
Are like California strawberries
While you are held in angels wings
Your sixty plus milestone
Is a blessing no gift card can fulfill!
And all your children are very much yours!

One God
Tauheed: the Uniqueness of ONE God in Islam and rejection of Trinity Concept of God.
"Do not worship besides Allah that which can not help or harm you." (Al-Anbiya 21:66)
Muslims believe in the sacred creed of Oneness of God as found in the introductory statement of Islam: Laa Ilaha Illalaah- there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.
Monotheism is the cornerstone and indispensable foundation of a Muslim’s belief system. To embrace the One true God, commonly called in Arabic Allah, is not only to believe He exists but to love Him, trust in Him, obey Him, know Him et al.
This position is as natural as breathing oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
Can you imagine three drivers trying to drive the same car down the 401, all three fighting to get the steering, gear and pedal going together? Have you ever seen several fathers claiming fatherhood of a cute baby and DNA testing proving all them as biological fathers? Can this perfectly run world with intricate and complex systems possibly be created and managed by multiple directors, each having the same powers and portfolios?
21:22 If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! but glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above what they attribute to Him!
That is so true that atheists when confronted are usually convinced in the existence of a single supreme being who created everything. This makes common sense to them easier than trying to find the logic in polytheism.
In a 1997 survey in the science journal Nature, 40 percent of U.S. scientists said they believe in God—not just a creator, but a God to whom one can pray in expectation of an answer. That is the same percentage of scientists who were believers when the survey was taken 80 years earlier.
On the concept of Trinity the Oneness of Allah opposes the very basis of having to share Godhead with anyone else, no matter how close that being may be to God.
5:17 In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He creates what He pleases. For Allah hath power over all things."
This is not only referring to the then prevalent belief that Jesus, on whom be peace, was considered God but even Mary was worshipped and as such this acts against the very notion of worshipping the One Unseen Creator- Allah. The very first commandment is to not take any other gods as deity after all He is a jealous God!
And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:1-3)
The Jews continue to believe in One God or Yahweh and since this was the original teachings of all Prophets it’s not surprising to note that the Torah and Old Testament continue to uphold this belief. Wasn’t Jesus from that same era too? Why would he want that to change that, when he was sent to uphold the laws of Moses?
16:36 For We assuredly sent amongst every People an apostle, (with the Command), "Serve Allah, and eschew Evil": of the People were some whom Allah guided, and some on whom error became inevitably (established). So travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who denied (the Truth).
When the Quran refutes the claim that some people believe that Jesus is one among three gods it refers to the mindset at the time of revelation. However, the mindset was established in such away that any brand of such a belief where Allah doesn’t remain central to His Oneness in Worship and Belief is refuted in this verse, as again, Tauheed is of paramount importance to the Islamic creed. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia trinity was introduced after the fourth century i.e. in Nicea Council 324AD.
5:73 They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
Since the Jesus is mortal and has died according to Christians then this becomes problematic that how can god die, let alone validating Trinity, since one is absent from the equation. Or how can the father be loved more than the son, since it’s the son who died for man’s sins? Although we are suppose to love God with all our heart. We as Muslims believe in Jesus as the Prophet of God, son of Virgin Mary, performer of miracles, promised messiah to return on earth but cannot in anyway believe he knows when the Day of Judgment will be. And this is how Mark 13 verse 32 describes him- "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
The Quran corroborates this: 41:47 To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): No date-fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth the Day that ((Allah)) will propound to them the (question), "Where are the partners (ye attributed to Me?" They will say, "We do assure thee not one of us can bear witness!"
