Sufi Quote

Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.


Mahatma Gandhi

Belying Disbelief


I limit myself to weaving
with strands of truth
filling the gaps between truth
with patches of faith.
 

Not arguing with people of disbelief
or with ones full of belief
I wait for my inner and outer experiences
to shed light
 

There is another world, of that I am sure
human senses cannot penetrate
the barriers that cover it
Intellect bounces off that surface
 

Cogent revelation
originating from the other side
may be
the only credible clue.

Politics...

1. It appears that Elon Musk was not entirely truthful about his discussion with Epstein. It's not a surprise. It seems behavior is determined by character most of the time. What do you expect from a white supremacist, despite being so very intelligent.
​
2. The fact that both Rubio and Hegseth are making aggressive statements on Iran means that the US may not attack Iran. This is just my personal conclusion. I've been wrong before!

3. I'm not too much worried about Don Lemmon being arrested, even if it's for wrong reasons. Never really liked the guy!

New Movie Review: Blue ones are good!

* Haq (Netflix) Hindi, 2025. It's a great one to watch. I didn't quite like the heroine and her stubbornness, but her actual role was great! Both actors gave a good performance. This movie is based on a true story. It felt like I was reading my own recent book to understand the real meaning of the Quran.

​

* Ed Kemper (Prime) 2025. Based on a true story about a serial killer. Pretty scary. I wouldn't watch it again.

​

* What Remains (Prime) 2024. Based on a true story. Very depressing movie about a Swedish serial killer.

​

* Eden (Netflix) 2025. Also based on a true story. This one is actually quite boring.

​

* Je Suis Karl (Netflix) 2021. Moving story about right wing activism in Europe. Good movie to watch.

​

* Madame Bowary (Prime) 2015. It's about an extravagant lady with little morals. Deservedly, she meets her fate.

​

* Victoria (Prime) 2025. Sensitive and dignified. Based in Norway. Very scenic in summer. Story by a Nobel Laurate, despite being a Nazi.

​

* Homebound (Netflix) 2025. Hindi. Realistic movie with good acting. A bit sad in the end, but very well done!

​

* The Homesman (Prime) 2014. A bit strange in parts but very realistic and absorbing. Based on a 1860 AC period. Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank.

​

* Ticking Clock (Prime) 2011. A bit of a silly movie. Not very believable. ​

THOUGHTFUL AND CONTEMPLATIVE VERSES OF THE QURAN OFFERS A REFLECTIVE EXPLORATION OF FAITH, HISTORY, AND PURPOSE
Rashid Osmani presents a deeply considered work inviting truth seekers to engage with the Quran’s guidance through understanding, reflection, and historical context.

 

New York, NY, February 26, 2026 — Thoughtful and Contemplative Verses of the Quran: An Insight into Profound Guidance is a thought-provoking book by author Rashid Osmani that invites readers to engage with the Quran not only through reverence, but through understanding. Written for reflective, truth-seeking individuals, the book explores faith, purpose, and intellectual responsibility in a time of constant distraction and rapid change. Osmani, a practicing Muslim for more than forty-five years, brings a lifetime of study and reflection to this work. Having read the English translation of the Quran twenty-five times, he confronts a question that has long troubled him: why, despite possessing profound guidance, have many Muslim societies struggled in recent centuries after once leading the world in science, scholarship, and governance for nearly a millennium? The book offers an honest and respectful examination of this historical decline. Osmani traces patterns of stagnation and disconnection from intellectual engagement, arguing that reverence without comprehension has limited the transformative power of the Quran in everyday life. He observes that many Muslims read the Quran in a language they do not understand, treating it as sacred text without fully engaging its meaning, instruction, or challenge. The book is intentionally not written for those who reject belief outright, nor for those who feel certain they already possess every answer. Rather, it speaks to individuals who are curious about history, purpose, and the limits of human intellect. Osmani emphasizes that the mysteries of the universe are vast, and humility is essential when approaching divine guidance. Thoughtful and Contemplative Verses of the Quran serves as both a spiritual companion and an intellectual challenge. It encourages readers to move beyond ritual and into reflection, opening the door to further learning and personal growth. With clarity and sincerity, Osmani presents the Quran as a living source of guidance that demands engagement, not passivity. The book is now available.
