As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, I was asked this question by a young missionary man in his attempt to understand how it is possible for someone to be Christian, to be born-again, and then abandon it.

Zahira and Her Gadi
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, That’s ‘car’ to the rest of us. I can’t help of thinking about a really crap car with rust everywhere, doors falling off and a strange odour every time I hear the word gadi.
Abdurrahman Investigates Camera
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, Here is Abdurrahman investigating the camera. Please say, ‘MashaAllah’ and make du’aa for him, my family and all the Muslims.
Dhuha, Ducks, A Lake and A Distant Mammoth
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, These are pictures I took of Dhuha last year in the duck park. You wouldn’t know it but I had to hold on to her tightly so she wouldn’t run off.

Blurry Photos of Abdurrahman
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, I can’t remember when these were taken but clearly Abu Bakr was not cooperating. Digital cameras are great though. I knew these were coming out badly but I kept firing away and now I get to enjoy them as only a parent could enjoy a bunch of out-of-focus [...]
She’s Not Cold, She’s Autistic!
As Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu, Recently, Zahira’s hours at work have changed and so she is no longer able to bring Dhuha home from school.
