Mikaeel@Michael Jackson

Me just heard the news that the beloved singer has died - so suddenly and so tragically. Not long ago me was also taken by surprise to hear that the singer has reverted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel meaning "Rezeki".

Well whatever it is, the fact that the man named Mikaeel@Michael Jackson is no longer with us on this earth. But his living on this earth has taught us a lot in terms of what is the purpose for us being on this earth. God is Great, He has shown that we should not give up hope to find the truth and should keep on searching for it as long as we are still breathing and if we are sincere, His Guidance will surely come to lead us to the world of Syahadah and Iman - just like it did to Mikaeel.

His life was full of worldly trappings typical of those who were blessed with material wealth. But somehow, at the end of it, God has given him the blessing of Islam and hopefully he remained as Muslim until the end....RIP.

A Sacrifice Worth Making

Me just got back from a "whirlwind" tour through Cairo, Medina and performing Umrah in Mecca. Having travelled "solo" to quite a number of other places before, the latest trip had an added significance as it was the first time me and a significant number of me family members were on an overseas trip together.

After visitng the popular tourist spots in and around Cairo such as the Giza Pyramids and Alexandria City, me performed the Umrah (small Hajj) after a brief stopover in Medina al Munawarah.


Me "Conquering" the Giza Pyramid

What's so special about this Umrah trip was the "sacrifice" that me had to make by shaving me head bald after performing the Umrah following the traditions of the beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Externally, the act itself did not represent much meaning to the naked eyes - except the funny feeling of looking at meself being bald!!. But looking from me mind's eyes, the act itself was a defining moment for meself as me declared victory against the "internal voices" which had urged against me doing it for the sake of me worldly interests and desires.

The simple act of shaving away all the hairs symbolizes an act of obedience and cleansing of the soul by "throwing" away all the bad and negative elements within us. This would hopefully make us less arrogant and be more humble and ever willing to "sacrifice" more of the pleasures in life not only for oneself but also for others in exchange for a greater spiritual experiences.

Me after "Conquering" Meself

Was it worth making the sacrifice? The answer is a resounding "Yes"! as not only me won a victory against the forces of evil within meself but also me experiencing the great feeling of having a new crop of fresh hairs growing on me head by the day along the way:)...

The Mystery in Iron Miracle of the Quran

An interesting clip me stumbled on the topic of Iron as mentioned in the Quran. Iron, the everyday metal we take for granted due to its abundance and widespread use since the ancient times - without us realizing how God in His infinite Mercy has given us the metal Iron as one of His many Signs for us to reflect and reach out to Him in our quest for the real truth.

Just see and observe the many other Signs around us, surely soon enough we will realize the "Hands" of God behind each and everyone of them, as if those Signs were whispering softly to our ears telling us that He is infact the ultimate Creator of all things...for surely God is truly Great.

See whether we can learn a little bit more from this video clip on the mystery of Iron...
