Al-Quds

We went out early for Fajr prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque. A comical sight as we saw Ustaz in a black polo shirt and wearing bright red gloves. He had to borrow his wife's gloves. That walk along the Lions' Gate took us pass the Golden Dome first. What a sight. The shining golden dome. …

Anthony Green

http://youtu.be/vVWShgimuro?t=5m14s Anthony Green shared his Catholic boarding school experience, and ultimately found Islam. Alhamdulillah. I had the experience of attending a Anglican missionary school during my teenage days. Being a young Muslim, it was challenging but interesting. Why interesting? It made me ponder why Christians do what they do. Some rituals felt almost pagan although the …

Converses of Wisdom

A poem by Abdullah Al Andalusi titled "Converses of Wisdom".  What I like about this poem is actually the very last line... The attempt to stir up the insides of most average Muslims on the street. To do a bit more. May Allah preserve him. You may follow his tweets and his blogs.  Converses of Wisdom by Abdullah Al …

Fiqh of Salah next

Really looking forward to attend Al-Maghrib's Insititue, Fiqh of Salah with Sheikh Abu Easa Niamatullah, over the next 2 weekends, insyaallah. Has always been a fan of his dark humour and straight in the face comments which trigger my thoughts into the many implications and underlying messages. He is the founder I guess of 1st …

5x daily

I look forward to hear the iqamah... What? U heard osama? I don't care about any osama obama. I care about my "karma" not as in endless cycle of karma... but as in the after life, the akhirah .... and I feel peace when I hear the iqamah.

Signs not science

Signs Science were revealed in the Koran more than 1400years ago. Which sign science only recently discovered. Supposedly by an "illiterate". Amazing right? Catch the science sign? Or are we conveniently ignoring the science signs?

The Pope resigns

The Pope announces his retirement which shock my Catholic friends here in Singapore. Inevitably though, it was embarrassing to see a few Muslims friends making jokes about it. Respect should be given...even though the Pope has made some bad remarks on Muslims. Let us remember the good akhlak (noble character) and from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wassalam) …

I will never walk alone

Attended a lecture organized by Sout Ilahi group. The title was a football slogan. "You'll never walk alone.." Almost reluctant to go because of the title. (I am not a Liverpool fan). Content was about our human need and search for permanence and happiness. Permanent happiness. Why does our ads always portray the keyword "happy"? …
