Moez Masoud

Considered to be one of the most influential religious speakers in Egypt, Moez Masoud gained entry to the religious arena because of his brush with near death experience with tumour. He swore his life to Allah s.w.t that he will be in service to Islam if given more time.

Hence now he has travelled all around the world spreading the Islamic way of life, or rather also in the process open hearts to the faith Insyallah to many.

My first encounter was with him was when my boyfriend showed me a videoclip of him on youtube.



MasyAllah. His words are divine indeed. And so humble to boot. I shan't rob you of your experience so click away and view :)

I was also quite privilleged to get to watch one series from Stairway of Paradise hosted by non other than him of course, on Women in Islam and it really made an impact for me.

He concluded that both men and women are equally superior and just have different strengths and rather come into a competitive point we should have co-operation with one another for spiritual alleviation.


My GOD! I'm speechless and at awe that he leads the discussion with such compassion as well. His objectiveness does not open room for argument. Well in my opinion anyways. And I'm quite a hard headed person when it comes to forums that are bias.

I'm a fan no doubt. He's the best example of what a khalifah of the earth should be.

I hope that I get to watch more of his English shows and get enlightened by it. I feel that I lose out on a lot of things because I don't understand Arabic. :(

In due time this shall be overcome. God willing.

AMIN

Contemplating the future

Here I am the first day of Ramadhan and after praying what do I do?

Mental mastur*ate my brain cells out of existence.

I was listening to the radio and heard this interesting speaker talk about the art of thinking.

Really?

He said, there's this proverb that says, Think as if you are moving, and move as if you are thinking.

Interesting.

I didn't get it since I was up all night doing some stuff, exactly what I am not obliged to say since this is my blog? LOL I just hope I don't forget what it was. It had something to do with mobile phone online booking.

Yea so bottom line is the man said that if you don't think right and move right you are wasting God's gift to you which is your brains. Unfortunately people don't use their brains to the full capacity.

Hence the road rage bullies, idiotic ex lovers and the invention of taxes :) Okay I was just kidding about the taxes part but you do get my drift?

It got me thinking some more about what'll happen when I die? (See I do put my brain cells to good use- I think!)

I am on an mortality awareness ropes course that knows no end. God help me!

This stemmed from a previous conversation that I had with my beloved MMS (there is a hint of sarcasm as I say this, note that this is going to get ugly) LOL

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

So there I was on one of our infamous road trips from Bukit Jalil to Putramas as usual the tennis match of How are you? I'm fine. Wallahi I miss you. Yea me too. Why didn't you call? As if you call me often. I've been busy. [me saying to myself: Yea well tough. I got things to do and I still find 5 seconds of my life for you.] routine check ups that would put nurses in the Queens hospital to shame :)

Back to the mortality thingy. So, I was flexing my brains when I suddenly said that in the event that my spouse dies before me I will not remarry. Not wanting to take the risk of having an abusive step father for them. Ew!~

The notion brought me to tears. Well secretly I was crying. What mother in the right world would want to succumb her kids to such a situation. Unless it was John Legend tho well..he....uhm nevermind... :P (Sorry Chrissy Teigen!)

EXHIBIT A

~Heart melts~


Then if the tables were turned and then it would happen on his side well he said it would be only logical to remarry because he would be busy at work and no one would take care of our kids. WHATEVER...........What if the lady was like Malowhowhatsit...the devil woman from Sleeping Beauty. Or better yet that evil scumbag from Cinderella that makes her stepdaughter scrub the floors and do all the housework while her fatness and daughters laze around making their ugly faces uglier. Observe exhibit B and C.

EXHIBIT B

EXHIBIT C

Well if something funny like that happened (and I say this with a cynical sense) were to happen I would bring out the guns and turn into this monster.

EXHIBIT D

Madam Medusa herself. Well rather a mutated version of her. She isn't exactly a sight for sore eyes but she dose the job in the spook out department. Be afraid. Be very very afraid.

I WILL KILL YOU MY PRETTY! warrrrrrrrrrrrghhh..........

But then again there's a small chance that my kids would get a good stepmother once I'm in the obituaries. Sourcing for the better also. When my husband decides to marry, if he does, I'm not okay with it but well, he has his needs and I am not saying that he is wrong for wanting it. Besides love is unconditional. It's all a part of Qada' and Qadar. I just surrender.

It is kind of sad to even think about it, not like I'm asking for it but you know one can never be so sure. There are a lot of things that has made me start "THINKING" Alhamdulillah.

I'm glad that I realize that my time here is limited. Anytime God can take my soul. At least I have the comfort that He will care for them after I'm gone.

My sister in crime or rather bestie Pam said that she will watch out for them from time to time. And I made my niece Shary promised me that if anything were to happen that she'd care for them as well.

Lucky!

Blessed being that I am.

Alhamdulillah

As the beautiful month of Ramadhan beckons again, it brings forth a sense of spirituality and longing to get closer to God. It's true for me at least. And at the most.

Whom else do I seek refuge but He? All Magnificent, All Hearing, and above all All Merciful.

The tidings that it brings gives me calm and a reassurance to having a brighter future for myself here and Heaven in the there after (Insyallah).

Brings me to tears thinking about the sins that I've committed, the wrongs that I have made.

This calls for only one thing. Repentance.

I've somewhat put aside my faith for awhile for my anguish of losing my mother. But when I think about it, if my late mother (God bless her soul) were to know about this, she would slap me senseless. LOL

But on a serious note, I'm so grateful for the people around me, for the love that I have and for the many blessings that He has given to me even when I have turned my back on Him. :(

One thing I can never forget is the trip to Pangkor. I cried in silence the moments after Pam handed me the earphones to her compact Ipod shuffle.

It was this song that made all that difference.




Allah Knows

When you feel all alone in this world
And there’s nobody to count your tears
Just remember, no matter where you are
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you carrying a monster load
And you wonder how far you can go
With every step on that road that you take
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS
No matter what, inside or out
There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt
Allah knows
Allah knows
And whatever lies in the heavens and the earth
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you find that special someone
Feel your whole life has barely begun
You can walk on the moon, shout it to everyone
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you gaze with love in your eyes
Catch a glimpse of paradise
And you see your child take the first breath of life
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS

When you lose someone close to your heart
See your whole world fall apart
And you try to go on but it seems so hard
Allah knows
Allah knows

You see we all have a path to choose
Through the valleys and hills we go
With the ups and the downs, never fret never frown
Allah knows
Allah knows

CHORUS (x2)

BRIDGE:
Every grain of sand,
In every desert land, He knows.
Every shade of palm,
Every closed hand, He knows.
Every sparkling tear,
On every eyelash, He knows.
Every thought I have,
And every word I share, He knows.
Allah knows.


I'm brought back to the melodious sounds of Zain Bhikha because it made such an impact to me. It is so beautiful and meaningful that it made me feel that Allah s.w.t was actually trying to say He's there for me.

That's when I knew I wasn't alone in the world.

And now I have so many things that I can be thankful for. Every time when I make the effort to pray (:P) my palms face the sky full of gratitude.

There is no other love besides His love.
