-in the name of Allah-


It should strike me as odd, though in hindsight quite predictable, that a focus of mine on the psychological level should settle, at this point in life, on ghirah. For the uninitiated, this term means a sense of self-respect or jealously that is felt when one's rights or domain is thought to be trampled upon. Most significantly, the ghirah of importance is the ghirah of Allah, which is evoked when humanity worships others besides He who created them. As it relates to man, and how his temporal emotions go, ghirah is what is felt when one's personally apparent rights are thought to be overstepped by others. So how, then, does this term relate or affect myself? It pains me to write directly what is the case, so I will speak in a round-about way of eliciting the truth.


Why should it be that he perceived as righteous and holy should only seek a way of those decrepit and weak, to burrow in places supposedly more distinct faces would contradict by decrying as injust and illicit, where is the aught-to-be justice in the rights of men that dictates what should and shouldn't done where or when, can it be that what is, is what should be in spite of those rights apparently trampled in the all-consuming amble of time's march forward, why is such a case so difficult to externally express, whereas inside it burns with fiery and graying ashes a hornet's nest. One and one is no room for a third, numbers allied and enemies tried belie the truth of the second one's concerns.


This should be amply indistinct to cloud the truth, and still in some ways, release what is held inside.
