ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُم مِّن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ فَهِيَ كَالْحِجَارَةِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةً وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ الأَنْهَارُ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَاء وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللّهِ وَمَا اللّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ (٧٤)
74. Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in hardness. And indeed, there are stones out of which rivers gush forth, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which split asunder so that water flows from them, and indeed, there are of them (stones) which fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.

About Me:
Assalamu Alaikom warahmatu Allahi wa barakatuhu. I'm Kia. I am a revert who is looking to connect with other Muslims. I enjoy reading, writing, debating, and learning. I am a great friend, I am patient, loyal, kind, and sincere. I will not lie to you, but give you full frank honesty. I have been studying world religions since I was 13 years old, so I may be able to answer any questions anyone might have on another religion (especially what the draw is for them, why they stay, what their mentality is from their point of view, etc). I hope to talk to at least one of you, and I pray that I will make many friends within the ummah. Salaam!

Quotes:
"I have never worshiped God so that I would be rewarded; nor have I prayed to be saved. If I did I should be an ordinary servant. I pray only because I love God with all my soul. To weep and cry out for God's mercy would be for nothing; for all I want is to approach God and dissolve my inner self in Him." Rabi'a
Other:
I've got my own three ring circus in my life right now: STUDY, PERSONAL, and HEALTH. So please bare with me if I don't reply immediately or for a few days. I don't reply at the time I read sometimes because my mind is not in the right mode to compose a decent response. It's running too fast. So please, be patient, I will not forget you! Thank you, and may Allah reward you all with blessings.
