The role of Art isn't simply to show the world AS it is ... 
But as it COULD and SHOULD be ...

If only every human life were pure transparent truth ... 
Freed from the bondage of ego #JafarAlamPoetry

Doing Pad Drills With Buakaw (bowing) ...

How much can you know about yourself ... 

If you've never been in a fight ???

Muhammad Ali was offered a star with his name on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" ... 

But he refused and said: 

"I bear the name of our Honorable Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) ... And it is impossible that I allow people to trample over his name" ...  

He is the only one whose name is not on the floor of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... 

It hangs on the wall ...

Rumi ...

The garden of love is green without limit ... 

And yields many fruit ...

Other than Sorrow and Joy ... 

Love is beyond either condition ...

W.B. Yeats ...

The world is full of magic things ...

Patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper ...

It's Been 4 Years (R.I.P)

LOL ... You Gon Pay One Way Or The Other ...

Bell Hooks

When we can be alone ... 

We can be with others ... 

Without using them as an escape ...

I framed pictures of the masjid my father grew up in as a child for Father's Day this year ... 
He was a happy camper ...

Haqqani Masjid ... 

Dhaka, Bangladesh ...

To Give Or Not To Give ... Think Twice ...

Arthur Golden ...

Adversity is like a strong wind ... 

It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn ... 

So that we see ourselves as we really are ...
