Re: Nihilism in Pop Culture “That which has the least meaning may be the most successful in the world of pop culture, or so says author Thomas Hibbs in his book “Shows About Nothing.” Brooke talk...

Farida — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:05:07 -0000

Sobhanna Allah it makes me laugh
'cause it's so true...

the worst of the matter is that nihilism is spreading in Arab countries , without us noticing it. because it comes in a whole "globalization" package.

Salam aleikum,
will these sessions be recorded inch'Allah?
'cause I'm in Egypt and the subject interests me since it concerns my field:
how to find serve your deen through your work, art here in particular.

Re: “Get on the Mic” If you were asked to give the khutbah, what topic would you address?

Farida — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 06:42:58 -0000

I think all the subjects suggested here are very important and most of them fall into the topic of balance: how to balance between this life and akhira.

I personnally would like to hear about:
- tell people not to preach and improve themselves for themselves, for the sake of Allah swt. actions are louder than words. how to make a sincere intention.
- not to judge people by their appearances and compare. "every fault you see in someone is a fault in you" (i think Ragheb al Isfahani said something of the sort)
i think overall it's about your realtion to the world, how you approach it to pleae Allah swt.
to truly know what we're capable of as humans, that we are vicegerents of Allah.
anyway it's a bit vague, but i think you get the idea...

Re: On Obama’s Speech by Sh. Ali Guma, Grand Mufti of Egypt

Farida — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:15:22 -0000

Very useful article mash'Allah.
it's very motivating all the solutions that the Mufti and President Obama are presenting.
But I have to remind myself that these things take time, and effort.
We must be patient and take things step by step and not expect a change overnight...

Re: Speaking For Islam: An Interview With Dalia Mogahed

Farida — Sat, 16 May 2009 02:57:14 -0000

Excellent interview mash'Allah sister Anam
Sister Dalia is so humble, it's amazing

Which makes me think: I saw last year a Doha debate called "Muslims are failing to combat extremism", we lost the motion 30% to 70%. (http://www.thedohadebates.c...
But, here's the thing:
It has only been 8 years since 9/11, you can't expect the whole world to be aware of what Islam is really about in that amount of time.It takes time, hard work and commitment.
However, from a positive point of view, we are in a start of a new era, Muslims are beginning to fight extremism, even though it's not crystal clear everywhere in the media, but we're there, taking baby steps.

May Allah grant success to every Muslim in his/her endeavours, Amin

Re: The Seven Conditions Related to Successful Dawa: Ust. Suhaib Webb

Farida — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:04:58 -0000

there's another point to this story which is mash'Allah incredible, the fact that the man was open-minded: he accepted the Muslims' invitation. he wasn't so influenced by the media etc. he cuoldn've said no... but imagine, he said yes, why not? he let his heart, went with the flow i guess...
You get one inch closer to God, He comes miles closer to you...

Re: Obama appoints American Muslim head of Gallup as advisor Egyptian-born US Muslim to advise White House

Farida — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:34:29 -0000

Woohoo!! el hamdou liLlah!!
I read her name and i knew i've seen it somewhere else: in an article by John Esposito in Islamica Magazine, he wrote about a book he co-authored with Sister Dalia Mogahed, i think it's called what "a billion Muslims really think"
mash'Allah, i'm very proud :)

She's, like Ingrid Maddson, an example to look up to.

Re: Another Mother of the Believers By al-Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

Farida — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:36:22 -0000

one of the most inspiring pieces i have ever read...

what is so amazing, nowadays is that the media is so capable of making "gods" out of people who are basically very ordinary... and so we are blinded by them and we forget or don't even realize that there are truly "great" people that God loves whom we should look up to...
May Allah bless your soul Maryam Bint Bwayba, our mother

Re: Introducing a Future Imam of the West: Suhail Mullah al-Azhari

Farida — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:15:28 -0000

why isn't the egyptian youth taking advantage of the presence of mash'Allah such great people like shaykh Suhail?
we should be aware of that... ( when i say egyptian youth i mean the young people who have been educated in a more or less americanized way of life or lived abroad, they could have some kind of connection with western Muslims)

Jazak Allah kheir Ustadh Suhaib for posting this

Re: Dearest beloved Qur’an by a Sister

Farida — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 13:21:32 -0000

i just read it and i am very touched. it is so heart-felt...
jazzaki Allah kol kheir dear sister...
my favourite part is: “لو أنزلنا هذا القرآن على جبل لرأيته خاشعا متصدعا من خشية الله وتلك الأمثال نضربها للناس لعلهم يتفكرون” (”Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect”).

we never realize how serious it is, we always forget. i wish we had post-its everywhere to remind us, to tell us that we are here for a reason.

Ameen ameen to your dua'

Re: My Dear Qur’an By Andrew Booso

Farida — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:22:29 -0000

Mash'Allah, spoken truly and wisely
like Bilal wrote, it is a reminder, a warning: against "ria'", self-satisfaction, hypocrisy,...
it makes you purify your intentions over and over again.

it is a constant struggle, a work in eternal progress to be a Muslim, you can never stop at a certain point and be satisfied, there is always something better to do, someone better to be.

Jazzak Allah kol kheir brother Andrew
