As I See It
Envisioning “The Motherland”
By Hakim Abdul-Ali These are some very trying times for every conscious soul in global creation as we know them to be thus far. So many recent unexplained, unimaginable things have happened and are still going on until many pessimistic folk are left speechless with nervous uncertainties. All of this probably can and should be…
Read MoreNever Hate Yourself
By Hakim Abdul-Ali At this present time, our country and the rest of the world are going through some very difficult times. The dreaded COVID-19 virus, also known as coronavirus, is plaguing the earth and it, seemingly, has the world in its deadly, mystifying grip as of this column’s publication. It’s also at this time…
Read MoreLove for All is a Feeling Worth Initiating
By Hakim Abdul-Ali The world we live in today is full of all sorts of political twists, racial dilemmas and numerous secret prejudicial agendas. I don’t think any reasonable, clear thinking American ethnic soul in “hue-manity” can, or would, deny that. I’m a concerned American brother of color, and that’s a pretty real scenario for…
Read MoreRespecting the Creator Alone of It All
By Hakim Abdul-Ali One thing an experienced “hue-man” understands about life after a while is that there are differences galore everywhere you turn and look in the living process. That fact alone should humble us all, including me and you, to try to exist with others, even with those who are vehemently opposed to us,…
Read MoreWho’s Better Than You?
By Hakim Abdul-Ali Today I’m just going to be very candid with my vibrations, and it’s about the negatives which so many of the world’s ethnic folk have about themselves.

It’s now the assembled and festive time of the year in February where most ebony folk of color here in the USA illuminate their ethnic recognition genes by celebrating the annual Black History Month observances and activities. For many folk like me, we recognize and celebrate it everyday of every…
Read MoreOops! and Other Comments
By Hakim Abdul-Ali Before I begin my article today, I must correct an error I made last week in my article entitled “The Suddenness of a Sad Tragedy.” In it I erroneously stated that my son was in possession of a 2002 Los Angeles Lakers’ championship jersey with the entire team’s signatures on it.…
Read MoreAnother Day at the Office
By Hakim Abdul-Ali We all are living in this present moment while existing in the only arena that I know of that’s called life. Some of us cherish this pristine opportunity with spiritual significance, and some others obviously take it for granted that they are blessed to be in the here and now. In my…
Read MoreThere’s No Need to Complain
By Hakim Abdul-Ali The living experience is full of tests, ordeals, disappointments and unimaginative upheavals for every created “hue-man” soul in the universe, including me and you. There’s no denying that in any shape, manner or form. To further illustrate that point, something occurred on my watch last week where I had to reflect on…
