I have often thought about the reasons why I keep doing what I do especially when there challenges arise and cause you to question your own passion and motivations. I was re-reading a book called "The 8th Habit" by Stephen Covey and there were some quotes which kinda gave an answer.

An extraction from "The Paradoxical Commandments" by Kent M. Keith:

1. People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.

   Love them anyway.

2. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

   Do good anyway.

3. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

   Succeed anyway.

4. The good you do today, will be forgotten tomorrow.

   Do good anyway.

5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

   Be honest and frank anyway.

6. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

   Think big anyway.

7. People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs.

   Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

8. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

   Build anyway.

9. People really need help, but may attack you if you do help them.

   Help people anyway.

10. Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.

    Give the world the best you have anyway.

"Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves" - Stephen R. Covey.

In response to a friend's post on his blog:

"It is sad, when our motivation comes from beliefs that are based on studies which show that we are capable of so much more."

I do agree that it is sad if this was the case. However, I think if people are motivated, it is because they know they are capable of so much more and not because their beliefs are based on studies which tell them so. And sometimes, some people need a little help in believing in themselves, myself included. Outliers talk about people being at the right time and place making it big, I say that you create your right time and place. Always believe that your destiny is in your hands and the grace of a superior power. I guess, that's what I really feel.

Anyhoo, I'm getting quite a bit of stuff done, including updating my blog so I guess that's a good thing. Experiences however, are getting more exciting by the day.

Go out and make the world a better place.

And if you read this blog, become an active participant by leaving a tag or comment. Be nice. Haha.

On a dark rainy night in January, Robert Fernea broke open the padlock to a little mud home in El-Nahra, to introduce his bride to their new home. Birds chirped overhead from the thatched ceiling and the room was littered with books, papers, clothes, blankets and dishes. The year was 1956 and Elizabeth Fernea struggling to carry her luggage and keep her black cloak on (abayah) entered the

I argued all day. But in the end the assailant won. He was a police officer.

The sunrise on Lake Michigan is such a beautiful spectacle that it should be on anyone's list of must-do things in the summer in Chicago.

On 8th Rajab, Shahzada Aliwaqar Aliasger bs Kalimuddin Saheb visited MSB Dubai(Al Ameen School). Shahzada Aliwaqar met with the Principal of the School, Mrs. Fatima Martin and also discussed the various policies and issues with the key Personnel of MSB Board of Governors and other experts who had come to MSB to confer with Shahzada saheb. Afterwards, Shahzada Saheb graciously inaugurated New Fully Air Conditioned buses that have been acquired by MSB as per the existing Dubai by-laws for Dubai School buses.

There is so much to be said and so much more to be done.

I don't know where to start, so many things have happened over the past 2 months. So many new experiences. So many opportunities. So many wonderful experiences. So many challenges. So much growth.

But most amazingly, so many opportunities for reflection and so many real spiritual moments.

I am indeed blessed. If I begin to count all the blessings I have received over the past 2 months I think I would not be able to stop counting for a while. I can only thank God for what he has given me. Thank Aqa Moula (TUS) for what he has given me. And even then I cannot possibly show adequate gratitude for all I have been given.

I went to Iraq and was blessed to visit the Mausoleums of Moulana Ali, Imam Husain, Moulana Abbas and all the other shohada. As I grasped these Holy Zari (Sephulchres) with my hand I truly came face to face with history. With hope. With the essence of religion. With spirituality. I cannot possibly describe those moments. Yet perhaps over my next few posts I shall attempt to do so. Going into the Kufa masjid was one of the most amazing journeys I have undertaken. How often does one get to step on land so holy?

The 7th SNCO course was an amazing experience and very much a learning experience for me. I had to re look and re design my leadership modules for this course. I learnt so much from interacting with the cadets during these sessions. I really hope the cadets benefitted from it. It is indeed such a joy to work with cadets. They make every minute of being a HO worthwhile.

I have also forged so many new friendships and strenthened my bond with many others.

So many new things await, so many new opportunities have opened up and I only hope that I am up for everything.

I know I am being rather vague in this post but I promise to post more often now!

Have fun :)

We had waaz yesterday on Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed's (ra) urus, and it was an exciting evening. Amilsaheb did waaz and we were lucky enough to hear a clip from Aqamaula's (tus) bayaan in Ahmedabad two years ago. At one point, Maula (tus) mentioned that no other dai has lived so long, and said it was the barakat of Syedna Taher Saifuddin's (ra) dua. May he live until qayamat in sehat taama and aafiyat kamela.

"Amilsaheb always has really good examples from real life - the one I liked yesterday was how he said warranties are only valid if you use the product as it is intended, and he compared that to following the shariat which is then a guarantee for heaven. I'm not saying it as well as he did but I really liked that."

After maghrib namaaz we had our first glimpse of the plans for the new masjid. And what spectacular plans they were! This masjid will be gorgeous when it is built, house all of us and more for generations to come and be the legacy that we leave in Houston for our children and the jamaat that will be. How fortunate we are to be here at this time.

The plans are not myopic and plan appropriately for the rate at which the jamaat is growing, and give us the oasis of tranquility that we yearn for when we come to the masjid. Can we do this Houston? Yes we can!

Syedi Mazoon Saheb delivered Waez on the Urus of Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed AQ on 27 Jamad-al-Akhra 1430 (20 June 2009) in Burhani Masjid. Syedi Mazoon Saheb began waaz majlis after khatmul Quran and during his bayan showered the mumineen of Singapore with barakaat, hidayat, and hikmat.

One of the central themes of the bayan was that mumineen must not only focus on their life in this world but also prepare for live in the hereafter. Syedi Mazoon Saheb illustrated to mumineen the importance of aakherat with simple, yet extraordinarily meaningful examples that were easy to understand for all present. While we may live in this world for only eighty years, our life in the aakherat is forever. We naturally attach importance to our conditions in this world and work hard to improve them; so must we work hard to reach the lofty heights of the higher darajaats of heaven, which is our permanent abode.

Syedi Mazoon Saheb recited the shahadat of Imam Husain (AS) and Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed AQ. Mumineen did purjosh maatam. This was followed by Zohor/Asar namaaz. Aziz Bhaisaheb then did araz of shukur. Syedi Mazoon Saheb also prayed shifaa on several items while leaving.

Mumineen and mumenaat of Singapore received showers of barakat with Syedi Mazoon Saheb's waez and pray that such showers continue to fall upon them.

The Urs for Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed (AQ) was held on Saturday, 27th Jamadil Ukhra/20th June at Al Masjid al Badri.

The majlis began with Hadiso, Sipara and Sadaqallah, recitation of Qasida and Marasiya. After this, the Waaz began. After Waaz there was Maghrib Namaz and Jaman.

Janab Ubai Bhaisaheb presided over the majlis. Some important points from his Waaz are as follows:

• Syedna Qutub Khan Qutbuddin (AQ) was born in Ahmadabad in the year 985 Hijri.
  He was made Mazun-e-Dawat by Syedna Qasim Khan Zainuddin (AQ). When Syedna Qasim Khan did nas upon Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ), he also told him about Syedna Qutbuddin’s (AQ) Shahadat.
• Syedna Qutbuddin’s (AQ) father was Syedna Daud bin Qutub Shah (AQ). His father also foretold Syedna Qutbuddin’s (AQ) Shahadat.
• Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) is the only Dai destined for martyrdom.
• At the time of Syedna Qutbuddin’s (AQ) Shahadat, Aurangzeb (LA) was the emperor. His advisors were jealous of Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ), and told Aurangzeb (LA) that Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) was a rafzi. A rafzi is one who abandons the true Deen, and obviously this could never apply to Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ).
• Aurangzeb (LA) had Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) arrested and brought to court, where he gave an order to put Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) in prison to await a verdict the following day.
• Mumineen were waiting in anguish for the release of Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ). Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) asked these Mumineen to go home and pray, since dua is a Mumin’s greatest weapon.
• Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) spent 20 days in prison, and was finally brought before Aurangzeb (LA) on the 21st of Jamadil Akhar. Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) told Aurangzeb (LA) that the killing of one Muslim by another was haraam. Aurangzeb (LA) responded by saying that the killing of a rafzi was not haraam. Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) responded, “Neither I nor my forefathers nor my descendants are rafzi. In fact, we are the true Sunnis.” He did not ask to be set free; he was ready to sacrifice his life in the name of Haq.
• Furthermore, Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) told Aurangzeb (LA), “You are the king and you have caught me with the intention of executing me. You can execute my body, but what can you do to my soul? My beliefs will not change. My body is bound to perish anyway eventually.”
• Aurangzeb (LA) ordered the execution of Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ), despite these words. Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) suffered to expiate the sins of Mumineen; so of course we Mumineen weep and do matam over Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ).
• Before the Shahadat, Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) farmayu, “O Muslimeen, bear witness to the fact that I am a Muslim and that I have committed no crime.” The enemies of Imam Hussain (AS) defiled the jisam mubarak of Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ) and refused to allow Mumineen to visit his kabr. Yet fresh flowers appeared at his kabr in the morning; it was a mojizoh.

The bayaan ended with the Shahadat of Imam Hussain (AS) and matam for Imam Hussain (AS) and Syedna Qutbuddin (AQ).

Shahzada Aliwaqar Huzaifa BS Mohiyuddin Saheb presided over magrib isha namaz at Badri Mahal Masjid and thereafter Urs mubarak Majlis of Syedna Qutubuddin Shaeed Maula AQ. Shahzada Saheb did Waaz and prayed Shahadat of Imam Husain A.S. and Syedna Qutubuddin Shaheed Maula RA.
