Accidental Reflections
Excerpt: "Haroon ar-Rasheed (r) once prepared a lavish banquet and adorned his castle with the adornment of this dunya. He invited so many guests, and as the special guest, he invited the famous poet Abul A’tahiyah. When he arrived, Haroon ar-Rasheed said "Describe for us this bounty, this beauty we are now in.” The poet said: "Live as you wish, safe, in the shade of the towering castles.” Haroon ar-Rasheed said: "This is excellent.” Abul A’tahiyah said: "That whatever you desire is brought to you whether it is in the morning or evening.” Haroon ar-Rasheed said: "This is beautiful! Then what is next?” Haroon ar-Rasheed broke down in tears for the poet said: "When the souls quiver in the shade of the rattling chest at that moment then you will know for certain that all of this was nothing more than a delusion.”

Return and Pray
Excerpt: "During the night, Abu Lu’lu’ Al Majoosi hid in the shadows in preparation for the Fajr Salah where he would execute his satanic mission: to Murder the Ameer of the Believers: Umar ibn Al-Khattab - Radi Allahu Anhu. Umar would lead the Fajr with a long surah, giving time for the community to join the congregation. As he led that Salah, Abu Lu’lu advanced from a dim pillar, a poisoned dagger hidden in his sleeve. He jumped in front of Umar Radi Allahu Anhu and tore open his stomach with the dagger."
