hopes high, let me tell you a secret though today not many
nonMuslims have straightened up their act, but by the time I leave this
world insha'Allah many things will change, those who were wrong merely

and I pray that God gives rise to this true followers once again.

bring unbaised justice and truth to this world once again. May God give
us all the ability to stand up for truth and justice. wa'Salam Mohsin

parts of my brain or affect the blood circulation to the brain probably
that is what explains the headache after getting up and flu.
