I’m an American Muslim born and raised in Southern California. I moved to Northern California for college and then to Istanbul, Turkey, where I currently work for a newspaper as a copy editor. I take private Arabic lessons, eat pizza and chat online in my spare time.
My blog’s URL comes from one of the opening verses of Surah al-Baqara.
002.002
This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil).002.003
Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them.002.004
And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.002.005
These are on a right course from their Lord and these it is that shall be successful.
May Allah swt make us from among them. Ameen!

Do you maintain two blogs? This one and a wordpress one; or am I just confused?

This is a wordpress one, and the only blog I maintain
. A coupla weeks ago this blog was being hosted on muslimpad.com, but I had a lot of server issues with it so I switched.

Assalamualaikum
Insha Allah I am going to Turkey this summer for a visit. I asked my friends in Turkey to bring me to halaqahs there because I want to see Islam and Muslims in Turkey.
Nice blog by the way. I enjoy it.
