Peace,
I love to read and can spend hours just reading whether that’s a book, I’m currently reading Angela Davis: Autobiography ( There’s a film is in production), Fanfiction (Yes, yes I do), Blogs or articles. I often come across words spun together so well that they can inform, inspire or provoke, evoke sadness or laughter, and would like with these weekly posts to create a collection of those.
Read.Me will hopefully be a weekly reading digest published every Friday. These recommendations will be split up into English and German and will only contain those reads that actually interest me. So without further ado, a bit late, a mashup of this week’s and last week’s reads.

#Hajj is Arafat
The best Day in the year
To seek His Mercy
He is Allah
He is Alpha
and Omega
This is the Qur’an
Beautifully recited
Guide for all mankind .
Ar-Rahman, the Merciful, loving and kind created us all
From Ar-Rahm, the womb into this world we fall
To act here with Rahmah, mercy, love and kindness above all
Until we answer Ar-Rahman’s call
Souls are like Souldiers
Mates stay and fight together
Match made in heaven
.
“Souls are like conscripted soldiers. Those whom they recognise, they get along with, and those who do not have similar characteristics will not like one another.”
Prophet Muhammad (saw.)
[Sahih Muslim]
A bedouin lost
Needs Guidance through the desert
That’s the saving Grace
Connected to God
A soul in the wilderness
Finds its way back home
Labayk Allahumma Labayk
Here I am O’ Lord for your sake
Facing you in solemn worship.
Your words flowing over my lip
It’s forgiveness I ask of you
Born once again good as new
