Retweeted by Ahmed DesoukiTypical life of a Bay Area native: two of your teams take a dump in the second round of the playoffs. On the same night.Ugh. Sharks. Please not again"After Mecca, they say Malcolm became more like King when in reality, King became more like Malcolm."Haha I'm catching up on following people who'd followed me. Pretty sure I'm still missing some too lol @Nonyylicious80,000+ Syrians dead doesn't bother you, but one isolated case of a rebel eating a human heart and suddenly you've become a humanitarian.
Retweeted by Ahmed DesoukiA routinely spew of 'inspirational' quotes can be desensitizing if said to maintain an image, be unconventional, and sincerely so.
Retweeted by Ahmed Desouki@fala7a_ @Sinseriously loooollllll at first i thought you were referencing the infamous Prop 8 here in Cali. but yes i get it now lolYou don’t get to choose how you are going to die, or when. But you can choose how you are going to live, right now.
Retweeted by Ahmed Desouki@Sinseriously @fala7a_ some 3aysh would be required, obviously.@fala7a_ @Sinseriously no thanks but i do prefer my jelly with cream cheese if you have any@fala7a_ @Sinseriously so...what's the fiqh of online PDA?"And people on the phone ought to slow down with their number of words per second. It makes life miserable." *laughter* "I'm serious!"Girl asks a question. Old man: "As an aside, girls with high-pitched voices are the hardest to hear for old people."Gosh, old people the greatest thing ever.Thanks to @wangsness and @BostonGlobe for an excellent story on Imam Will! http://t.co/9665berl7s

Retweeted by Ahmed DesoukiIf a believer turns away during prayer, God will ask, "To where? Are you turning to something better than Me?""Since when has time become your enemy that you should kill it?"Ali b. Abi Ṭālib defines asceticism best: “Asceticism is not that you own nothing but it is that nothing owns you.”@Sinseriously hahaha he really is. he's too cool honestly. our Qabeelat had dinner w/ him last night. so much sports talk.@Sinseriously lol we're talking about adab of profile pics & he's like "If feel comfortable posing like this *duckface* in person then cool"Shaykh Omar Suleiman just duck-faced. This weekend is great.You cannot be disciplined in anything unless you're disciplined in everything.Peer pressure doesn't go away when you grow up, it just gets more expensive.The good deeds of normal people are the sins of the righteous.

@adeelarh haha good to see you too Adilah.@AhmadBadr3 will do! =]@adeelarh no idea how I unfollowed you lol@kawTHUG hahahahahahahahaha i died at the thought of you doing this@kawTHUG lol calm down reading too muchSufyan at’Thawri said, “He who desires to be seen by the people is not truthful to Allāh.”"What is more harmful than two wolves attacking a flock of sheep is a man's love of wealth and status." -Prophet Muhammad@saannnaaaa totally read that hashtag initially as "feelin gold". I think it works better that way lol@kawTHUG oh there's plenty I'm not telling Amirah ;]@kawTHUG and yes I realize it hella sounds like a love story lol@kawTHUG haha I'm serious girl! Their relationship was beautiful. I just gotta work on becoming Omar before finding my Abu Bakr lolHearing the relationship between Omar ibn al-Khattab and Abu Bakr as-Siddiq makes me insanely jealous. I hope to be a Omar to an Abu Bakr."Funny, those who don't like Aisha use hadiths she narrated about herself in the instances where she upset the Prophet so we could learn."Abū Hurayrah narrates that the Prophet said, “It is sufficient lying for a person to say everything he hears.”@yazanamr yeah mean, he's such a great figure. still blown away by him.@desouki I still remember your halaqa pertaining to Al-Basri in the beginning of the year lol. great reminder sA
Retweeted by Ahmed DesoukiTruthfulness in actions means there’s consistency between your actions and your speech.Truthfulness in speech means there’s consistency between reality and your speech.Al-Ḥasan al-Baṣri said, “Allāh has created two gates for the tongue: your teeth and lips. Learn to use your gates properly.”Reality TV exists because it allows you to examine the flaws of others and gives you the bliss of ignoring your own faults.Ali b. Abi Ṭālib:"Worst possible friend a person can have is a person who flatters you all the time & expects you to flatter them in return”“The worst of people in the eyes of God are those who people avoid advising and correcting out of fear of being abused.” [Bukhari]“The greatest hypocrite is the one who fears hypocrisy the least.”Imam Ibn al-Qayyim: “If you want to blindly follow someone, that’s fine. But do not follow a living person.”Imam Abu Hanifa said, “Do not follow me without knowing my evidences.”His response: “I don’t know, I wasn't invited to the wedding.” Moral: don't ask dumb questions. (2/2)One time gave a Imam ash-Sha’bi sermon on Shaytan & was asked what the name of Iblis’s wife. (1/2)@omerakhan yessir. taking it again because it was too good the first time around.Abu Musa al-Ash’ari: “We did not have a question except that Aisha could answer.”Knowledge will not give you a part of it until you give it all of you.“Whoever makes his religion the object of his argumentation will frequently change it.” –Omar ibn Abdel AzeezI'm going to spam your timelines with things I'm learning from the AlMaghrib class with Shaykh Omar Suleiman.I have no idea what exactly is going on in Pakistan but I'm praying for the best.
