I really enjoyed listening to this song, “Alif Allah”, performed by Arif Lohar and Meesha Shafi. It comes from Coke Studio, “a musical fusion platform of exciting elements and influences, ranging from traditional eastern, modern western and regionally inspired music coming together to form a distinctive Pakistani sound.” You can read about the artists, see [...]

I originally posted this last month, but for some reason I am getting lots of spam comments from it so I deleted the original post and am reposting it in the hopes that the spam will stop. I read about a men’s retreat for Muslims and Christians that looked at the life of Abraham in the [...]
