The Irf Sanctum
---The most generous is he who attains knowledge and then shares it with the people.- Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم
---Being angry is like throwing a hot coal. When you throw it, it only burns you. -The Buddha
---Si Tacuisses, Philosophus Manisses - "If you had kept quiet, you would have remained a philosopher"
---One must help the oppressor. How do you help him? Stop him from oppressing. -Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم
---Sapiens Nihil Affirmat Quod Non Probat. "A wise man states as true nothing he does not prove (don't swear to anything you don't know firsthand)."
Summary of me; Muslim. Both of my parents are Bosnian, but I was born in Germany. I live in the U.S now though, for no real reason. My favorite color is red, because that's the color of the waters of life. I dislike being in the company of people who are opinionated about everything, and people who only complain. Be the change you want to be in the world. Most of my writing isn't that great, but it's something I enjoy. Oh, and I'm 18.
Honor others before yourself.

Saracen was a term used by the ancient Romans to refer to a people who lived in desert areas in and around the Roman province of Arabia, and who were distinguished from Arabs. By the time of the Crusades, beginning in 1095, a “Saracen” had become synonymous with a “Muslim” in European chronicles.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه narrated: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, comes down to us every night to the nearest Heaven when the last third of the night remains, saying: “Is there anyone to call upon Me so that I respond? Is there anyone to ask Me so that I give him? Is there anyone to seek My forgiveness so that I forgive him?”

I don’t know anything about Jun Seba but through Samurai Champloo I discovered his music and it became one of my favorite things to listen to.
