July 14, 2025 Car Damage in Flooded Road

Image
Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2006 accident Report Claim number 1006 32 6206 July 16, 2025. I have had an excellent experience with AAA Auto Insurance. They review claims thoroughly and, once the requested documents are submitted, they reach a fair and mutual decision. On the night of July 14th, while I was at 1810 West Front Street, Plainfield, New Jersey, my vehicle was exposed to significant flood conditions. The water level reached approximately 15 to 18 inches, up to my knees. Given the height of the water, it is highly likely that it entered the engine through multiple openings, including the air intake system. It was a frightening experience. I was with my wife and grandson, and every time a vehicle passed by, the resulting wave pushed more water toward us, rising halfway up the car doors. Fearing for our safety, I maneuvered the vehicle into a nearby gas station. As I did so, water was rising rapidly from all directions. In the process, I hit a submerged curb. The sudde...

WHY A CREATOR 🕋 & WHAT AM I?

Image
Allah, the Creator and Lord of all worlds, has already conveyed His message, complete and flawless, through His chosen one, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). He fashioned the human being in perfect balance, a mirror to reflect His attributes. The message is before us, whether we embody it in living action or let it wither into hollow ritual is our trial. Know that a practice empty of spirit is like an untilled field: weeds overrun it, choking its purpose the grain of life. The field must be ploughed, its soil turned upside down, its weeds uprooted, its cavities opened to receive air and water, so that true growth may take root. Likewise, hearts must be turned, cleansed, and nourished, lest the truth be buried beneath neglect. Islam is not a stagnant creed bound in lifeless forms, it is a living force. If the hearts of men fail to plough the soil of their souls with faith and action, Islam does not perish; it seeks its own openings. It flows into the cracks of wor...

If a Woman’s Stand for Equal Marital Rights.

Image
Women claim equal rights for Multiple Marriages: Man may leap at any time, in any state, while woman is bound by the rhythm of her nature, especially in the sacred state of bearing life. Yet know this: without woman, humanity ceases to exist; without man, her path through life becomes burdensome. They are not rivals but partners, each completing the other, like two strands of the same rope, bound together in the journey of life, strength flowing from their unity. When a woman seeks to take on the same responsibilities and roles as a man, particularly in matters such as multiple marriages, it may unsettle the natural order and harmony set within family life. Each has been granted unique strengths and roles by divine wisdom, and disrupting that balance can lead to confusion and discord. Imam Ali's Perspective and the Issue of woman's Multiple Marriages If someone argues for a woman to have multiple marriages at one time in the name of equality, matching the male's...

When Silence Becomes Betrayal

Image
The followers of Imam Ali were once known for wisdom and deep understanding. What has happened to us that our vision has dimmed, and our thinking has been reduced to the level of the ordinary? What should be the conduct of our community today? We see with our own eyes sacred traditions being reshaped, and even the remembrance of Imam Hussain being altered. Shall we stand silent and allow these changes to pass unopposed? Silence in the face of distortion is not the way of the wise, nor the path of the elders. Our duty is to preserve the essence of faith and to guard the sanctity of Imam Hussain’s sacrifice. If truth is not spoken by us, then falsehood will find its voice in others. ❤️ Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him) reminds us that the responsibility of the learned and the elders is to uphold Amr bil Ma’ruf wa Nahy anil Munkar, to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. My friend, ask yourself: do you fall into one of these categories? If you cannot answer now, know th...

THE ROPE OF LIFE

A Trial Between the Weight of Earth and the Wings of Heaven” In this life, every soul walks upon a rope stretched by the decree of the Almighty. In the left hand rests the weight of the world, pulling one downward toward the depths of the earth. In the right hand are the wings of heaven, lifting the spirit upward against the pull of gravity. Each rope has a measured length, and every journey upon it is destined to end. This is the trial of our Creator, the One without partner, Who, had He not upheld His command, the heavens themselves would have collapsed. He places us upon this path, granting us the freedom to choose, so that our choices shape the destiny awaiting us when the rope comes to its end. Those who keep their balance do not fall. But whoever increases the burden of the left hand is dragged downward. And those who lighten its weight, until their hearts rise and connect with their Lord through His prophets, are counted among the muqarrabīn, the ones brought near to God. Fame, ...

Al-Mukhtar Al-Thaqafi Vengeance

Image
Salaam Brothers and Sisters  I hope you are both doing well. I often reflect on the wisdom of our momineen and the direction in which our centers and organizers are moving—what exactly they aim to achieve. Please pardon me if I differ a little, but at times these events feel more like recreational gatherings. That is why I took some time to share a few insights with our brothers regarding the celebration of Eid Zahra. ************************************** Al-Mukhtar al-Thaqafi rose with resolve, carrying a banner of vengeance. In his effort, he touched a fragment of the longing of Zahra (peace be upon her),  however Allah wanted that the arrogance of the oppressors not go unanswered at this high rise emotions in the Kufa Al-Mukhtar Al-Thaqafi gave this a direction to kill the enemies so he could establish a government of justice. Yet know this: the fulfillment of a dream in part is not the perfection of divine justice. Likewise the Abbasids later unfurled their bl...
