I’ve spent several years now working behind bars and a wisdom that remains sound and true; family, health and faith is all we have.
Lofty; frivolous; noble. Whatever my course of life, at the expense of true value it’ll never be a worthy trade-off .
An adage.
We took a months-long slow trip to Japan to explore design, architecture, and craftsmanship
Every week, I would explore something that was the best in the world
One day, it was umbrellas that have been made by hand for 100 years
Another day, I took a private tour with a designer who answered my questions about his use of architecture and lighting (very different than the US)
This is how I use money to live my Rich Life
Last weekend, a mother from another soccer team came up to me. She said that when our teams had played a few weeks ago, I'd made an impact on her son.
During the game, I had loudly told my team, "watch out for that kid. He's really fast!" Apparently he had spent the rest of the day happily saying, "The other coach said I'm really fast!"
"You don't even know it, but you make everyone's lives around you better and bring out the best in people."
It's the best compliment I've received in a while. I've replayed it in my head like I'm hunkered in a trench glancing at a locket.
There's no punchline here. I guess I'm just bragging. Maybe if I brag enough it'll loop around to being cool. Many things in my life are going well, and coaching my son's 5-0 U7 soccer team is part of it.
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said
“The world is a fleeting enjoyment and the best joy in the world is a righteous wife.”
"We talk about the Sabr of Ayub (AS), but let's talk about the loyalty of his wife. 18 years of sickness, 18 years of poverty - she didn't just stay; she became his hands, his feet, and his peace.

Our beloved brother & teacher, Sh Mohamed has silently been struggling and battling many health issues for a very long period of time. He is not someone to share his struggles due to his humility and his overwhelming love for the Qur’ān that we know him for.
