1. Du'a By the Decibel
In the name of Allah, The Source of Mercy, the Most Merciful
It was a Ramadhan after a Taraweeh prayer that my mind focussed on the loudness of the congregation. We were not talking, but responding to the supplication made by the Imam. The loudness of the response of “Ameen” had a pattern… a worrying pattern.

2. When Words Inspire
Imagine if the mere sounds, or the letters of the alphabet, the basis by which the larger particles of words are actually formed, actually carried a meaning. Imagine then, that the set of letters defining the basis of generic meanings form a word which now carries a multitude of descriptions to provide the boundaries of its meaning. It would be a language of precision at the very least. It would be a language of articulation, and poets would simply love it, as would romantics. The media, politicians and Hollywood would despise it.
