Set Aside (Poem on Ramadan 28, 1437)

When I hear the call to prayer

My soul lifts up

When I wash

My body feels refreshed

When I stand on the rug

My being is outside normal time

While I pray

Nothing exists except my Lord

Engulfed in His Love, His Mercy, His Will

I become a mere thought of Allah

Al-Khidr Mosque

 As of June 24th, I am pleased to announce that the Al-Khidr Mosque is now an officially Chartered and in commune with the Moorish Orthodox Church and its affiliated branches. I would like to thank Mustafa al-Layla for surfing the proper channels and making this happen. Hakim Bey for granting me the charter and all the pluses and misuses that now go with my newfound responsibilities and of course Rashad Bey who set me on this path all those many Crescent Moons ago.
