So what do you think of Allah as?

September 11, 2011September 21, 2012 by gw2021

Read this in a post and reminded myself that Allah is most Merciful and inshaAllah He will give us the best of both worlds. 🙂 And reminding you all as well!   Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in a Hadith al-Qudsi tells us the words of Allah as He talks to His slaves: “I am as My…

Rat Attack

May 7, 2011September 21, 2012 by gw2021
