بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحد لله, I am trying more-and-more these days to practice writing Arabic with actual Arabic letters rather than using cumbersome transliterations. This is partially due to my father’s abhorrence of transliterating Arabic, lest the skill to actually write Arabic in Arabic be lost. I agree with him, and besides, it’s a great [...]

More updates to blog, switching to GPL theme
Bismillāhir Raḥmānir Raḥīm
Alḥamdulillāh, I’ve decided that, after upgrading WordPress, I should do a little housekeeping. As usual, I find a list best presents the ideas I wish to express:

Reorganized blog categories
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
I just finished re-reorganizing my blog categories after pondering the difference between tags & categories. Incidentally, I will attempt to start using tags on my blog posts as well. Subsequently, I will be recategorizing a lot of posts that are categorized in both a category as well as its parent, since that is [...]
