Peace

and welcome

Abdur-Rahman, 29. GER | UK | NG

I am young Muslim, interested in all things beautiful and profound, as well as in its preservation. I am a cultural Worker and engineer.

“Tread this world lightly, inspire compassion and justice to every creature within it and appreciate its beauty as a reflection of God. Verily, in the remembrance of God hearts find rest”

Religion

What does it mean to be human? What is a good life and how does one live it? Do you only live once? Questions I ask myself and share some of my thoughts over on my blog.

Cultural Work

Or Creative? Is the word creative laden with capitalist ideals, of individualism, of seeking money and fame? Maybe, me I am in love with beauty.

I am a freelance graphic designer, a photo and videograph, and a writer, who might sometimes share a poem or two.

Environment

I am a Chemical Engineer who grew a conscious as my best friend once said. I am a Muslim vegan, travelling this world looking for balance. Currently I study a Masters in Environmental Engineering and work at a research institute.

Politics

Now that I have talked about the controversial stuff, let’s talk about Politics. Any takers? The personal is political, I believe that. Beyond that I am still finding my way, learning and unlearning, striving for justice. While knowing that God is the Just. Accompany me along that journey!

  • Daily Post

    Over the past week I’ve been getting more and more interested and involved in writing than I have the whole year I guess. As I checked out other blogs I’ve noticed these badges saying “I’m part of Post A Day 2013”, these introduced me to the Daily Post from WordPress.com and its daily and weekly […]
