…Salam Aalayka!

via Allahcentric (although the post has disappeared at present):

Ya Habibi, ya Muhammad (Oh my love, oh Muhammad)!
Ya Nabi salam alayka (Oh Prophet peace be upon you)!
Ya Rasul salam alayka (Oh Rasul, peace be upon you)!
Ya Habib salam alayka (Oh my love, peace be upon you)!
Salawatu Allah alayka (Praises of Allah on you)!

Some may say that we love the Prophet (saws) too much.  I say that one can never love him enough.  After all, he is the most beloved of Allah (swt), and whomever my Beloved loves the most, so too should I.

If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful”. [3:31]

i’ve fallen in love…and a flashback

So I’m now 100% in love with Zumba.  Alhamdulilah they started offering it at my gym, so now every Wednesday I can pretend that I can actually dance, and burn a ton of calories doing so.  FYI, I totally cannot dance, but that’s the beauty of zumba – you can dance horribly, but so long as you do it with lots of enthusiasm and energy, no one cares.

The flashback came when we started a bhangra number, and low and behold, it was this:

It was all I could do to keep myself from breaking down from laughing too hard.  Anyone else remember when this popped up all over the place a few years ago?

Have you figured out yet that I like free things?  So of course, I really really really like that Unity Productions have offered several awesome documentaries online to watch for free!

The controversy continues around the planned Community Center at Park 51 in Lower Manhattan, or what is often incorrectly referred to as the “Ground Zero Mosque.” Here at Unity Productions Foundation we would like to elevate the conversation and promote civil, informed discourse around some of the broader questions — What did the 9/11 tragedy feel like to American Muslims? What is the story behind the interfaith group in New Jersey that helped build a mosque? What do Muslims worldwide really believe about terrorism? What are the aspirations of American Muslims?

To address these and other questions we’re offering you our award-winning PBS films for free online. We sincerely hope that you will watch these films and share them with friends, colleagues, and social networks.

I watched part of the Allah Made Me Funny video last night, and was LOLing, literally.  AbuS will tell you that I’m not one to laugh very much, so that should say something about the hilariousness of said video.  I especially liked Azhar Usman’s bit on wives.

May Allah (swt) reward the people at Unity Productions for their work!
