Lessons from hell week

(10/09/15 4:49am)

For most of us at Duke, the past two weeks have been hell week, filled with misery, copious amounts of work and long nights at the library. At times like these, I often find myself daydreaming—thinking about the glorious times I spent at the beach and reminiscing about the wonderful times I had, lazily basking in the sun, not having to worry about the pending midterm or the upcoming paper. Often when I am procrastinating on my studying, I find myself looking at pictures of myself near the ocean. I find myself pondering over the majestic fury and grandeur of the ocean. I wonder about the many facets of my life that the ocean personifies and dive deeply within my chain of thoughts to explore and experience the ocean’s tranquility, fury and passion.

Based on the religious festivals that have been going on with Yom Kippur, the pilgrimage of Hajj and Eid ul Adha, it is safe to believe that the remembrance of God has been somewhat more prevalent on Duke’s campus and throughout this world during this past week. This is not to say that religious folks aren’t always cognizant of God’s presence, but for some of us folks who are less religious, festivals become a time to remember God, think of the things we are grateful for and celebrate amidst friends and family.

The Muslim experience following 9/11

(09/11/15 5:04am)

Today is a sad day in the history of America. Today marks fourteen years since a group of nineteen men affiliated with Al-Qaeda — fifteen from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Lebanon and one from Egypt — hijacked four U.S. airliners and flew two of them into the World Trade Center towers, another into the Pentagon while the fourth crashed in rural Pennsylvania when the passengers attempted to retake the cockpit. Today also invokes and embodies a myriad of emotions — fear, apprehension, frustration and depression — each of which has characterized my experience as a Muslim American today.
