[Open Circle] Knowing Him, Knowing Me

Salam, peace and blessings to all of you.

Every creation on this earth bows down to Mighty Lord. But how connected are we to Him? Do we really know Who He is? Is He just a 'concept' that we are trained to have Faith? A far away Being so distant from us?

Some say to know us, we have to know our Creator... well, come and join us once again on another engaging open conversation with Bro Din Othman, as he shares his journey in finding these answers, finding Allah, finding himself, amazingly - through his fantastic artwork.

*Bro Din is a professional graphic designer. In fact, he's the maestro that has been designing most of the great posters for YMP in the past. MashaAllah.

Faith Fridays - Surah Al Asr by Nourman Ali Khan

This is an oft-recited surah mostly because it's short but the beauty about this surah is the irony in it's message. As we are late for salah we pick this surah, often not realising the wake up call it is giving us. Bro Nouman Ali Khan is a master at tafseer and is so popular he is too busy to travel outside of America and the UK (we've tried). His tafseer of Al Asr is 3 podcasts long (each podcast more than 30 minutes) but the gist of the surah is summarised in the 8 minute video, with helpful hints along the way.

Faith Fridays - How to Wake Up for Fajr by Dr Jeffrey Lang

This video reminded me of this quote that Imam Suhaib Webb posted a few months ago:

"Don't tell me you're ready to do anything for Islam when you can't even bench press the blanket for Fajr (the prayer at pre-dawn)."

Coincidentally I watched this video after I got back from the gym and it reminded me of where I stood with my prayers and where I really want to be.

In any case, it is 5 minutes of your time and I guarantee you will enjoy. Whether you pray or don't pray, miss some or make them all, concentrate or can't wait to get them over with. This video will make you smile and laugh and realise that yes, it's tough and everyone has trouble.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER by Sis Tasneem [Story Time]

Everyone loves a good love story. But there's no better than the relationships of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Let us fall in love all over again with the beautiful stories of romance, companionship, trust, and love told by Sister Tasneem.

"And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that ye may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts). Verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." [Qur'an 30:21]

Boys and girls, single and married, happy and unhappy, and everyone else, lets fall in love again with the Prophet SAW.

++++

As usual, lets all chip in and bring a plate or two to share on this wonderful gathering. Those who eat together, grows together. We look forward to meeting our old friends and making new ones.

We'll all be sure to be mindful so not to bring anything unhealthy ya, and lets try not to waste anything either :)
