| As salamu alaykum, So i'm thinking to myself .. what's a bebzi stand? Where do bebzi stands exist on this earth? Ok about me: My name is Muhammad ibn Hilmee ibn Ali ibn Mustafa ash-shareef. Born in WINNIPEG, um hmm, parents from Alexandria Egypt. Story of how my dad made it to Canada: 1975: It's after work, his friend says lets apply for immigration to Canada. they walk in and stumble on a question that says, "Where would you like to go in Canada?" My dad turns to a lady there for the answer. She says, "Just write Winnipeg!" He says, "Winni - what?" Ok, you write it fur be." So I grew up in Winnipeg, married a paki from there and now i have to visit my in-laws once in a while. My parents moved to Toronto. Ok, education: at 12 went to Hafiz school in canada and finished Qur'an in 2 years. did public highschool in the peg. accepted to the REAL Madinah Al-Munawarrah University, lived there for 6 years. graduated with LL.B in Islamic Law currently teaching and studying my Masters at the American Open University. And working on an Islamic Curriculum for Alhuda school outside of the DC area. I'm 25 yrs old and my favorite reciter is Mashaaree Rashid. |

| Assalamu Alaikum, Cooool, you have your Islamic Law degree?? So what exactly do you teach? Islamic Shariah/fiqh? Islamic Theology?? Masha'Allah, that's really awesome, I'd love to teach Islam. It has to be one of the most rewarding things. Anyways, welcome to the board. Wassalam, Nazia |

| Wa-alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah Sidi Muhammad, I'd just like to welcome you, and say it's a pleasure to "meet" you. I recently read your wonderful and inspiring article (which I now learn was a khutba, masha'Allah) on "Why should I study?" Alhamdulillah Akhi, I benefitted greatly from it, and believe many others will too insha'Allah, may Allah (awj) recompense you abundantly with thawab. Allah (awj) has gifted you with a lovely ability to reach into others through your words, and I pray many many Muslims will increase in their muhabba [love] for this Deen through them. May they be a continuing source of baraka for you always. Whilst I'm not really an advocate of taking knowledge from indirect sources where avoidable, I nonetheless look forward to benefitting- bi'ithnillah ta'ala- from your presence here, trying to remain humble in the presence of knowledge. Insha'Allah you will - I hope - add another dimension to an already beautiful Board bursting with wonderful Brothers and Sisters, all of whom adore this Deen and amaze me regularly with their enthusiasm, warmth, compassion, and earnest words. I learn a lot from them all. Jazakallakhukhairun for all your efforts in furthering the cause of this Noble Deen. ;-) Your brother in Islam. Ma'assalam, Abu Khaled |

| Assalaamu alaikum, Mashallah brother, glad to have you on board. Your articles/khutbahs have always inspired me. They are immensely informative and more importantly are presented beautifully. I thought you were some 50-year old scholar! Alhamdulillah, brother may Allah reward you for your efforts. We all will benefit from your presence here. And as always I will be doing a lot of reading and little writing :) Inshallah we will learn from all the awesome brothers and sisters on this board.

| Assalaamu alaikum, ahlan wa sahlan, brother Madani Although I know of your community efforts, etc, and am just as impressed as everyone else, masha'Allah, one unrelated thing popped into my mind. Mishari Rashid Al-Efaasi? He's my favorite, too! You just reminded me to inquire abt that. Whenever I get on this site, I get too involved with other posts, I totally forget what I wanted to ask! SubhanAllah, so my question for the past few months is, where can one get Al-Efaasi audios? I listen to the 2 I have (Hud..., Ibrahim...) so much, I have to record them onto other tapes so I won't wear them out! JazaakAllahu khairan And how fortunate that we have a member who has an Islamic law degree, alhamdulillah. Some of us get into trouble by delving too deeply into fiqhi issues we have little knowledge about, esp. in a forum like this (like myself!), so someone w/ extensive knowledge on fiqh is always helpful! May Allah increase us all in knowledge, aameen. |

| Jazak Allahu Khayr to everyone for the warm welcome. www.delphi.com/khutbah At the American Open University, I 'moderate' 5 courses. That is, I make the exams, choose the term papers and correct everything. The 5 courses are: 1) Financial Contracts 2) Art of Qur'anic Recitation 3) Criminal Law 4) Principles of Faith 3 5) Principles of Faith 4 I have 2 days a week where I answer student concerns. A lot of students will phone in and practice Tajweed on the phone. At al-Huda school, I teach Islamic Studies to grade 1,2,3 (little tikes). They're ausome!! Great Kids. Psst .. go into Education! I listen to Mashaaree Rashid off the internet at islamway.com in the Qur'an section. Although I'm from Egypt, I never studied there. Although in Madinah, I had an Egyptian Qari who I spent an entire year with (7 days a week!) practicing Tajweed. After the year was over, I got an Ijaazah for the completion. In sha' Allah, i'll meet up with you guys in some other discussions. |

| Salam :) Brother Muhammad, welcome. I still remember when I first met you at your brother-in-laws wedding, and you taught me something I never forgot. When I asked your opinion about some scholar, you said "Why is it that when there are millions of misguided people all around us, we concern ourselves with the faults of the few that are working to guide them." May Allah the Most Merciful reward you for your talk at MYNA. :) Wassalam :) PS This is Faisal Ahmad from Albany :) |

| Asalaam Alaikum everyone :) akh Muhammad, I recently received an e-mail (part of which is posted below) that, it says, is authored by you. However I have an arabic poetry/nasheed tape called Ya Aabid al-Haramain in which these two stories are recounted. Did you originally write them in Arabic? Or did you just translate them and add the (very beneficial, may Allah reward you) comments? Thank you, wasalam. >>Subject: Fwd: Fw: FW: regret.....death! pls read & fw!! >By Muhammad Alshareef > > > > > > > >A police officer in a Muslim country wrote the > > > > following letter to a Shaykh > > > > >describing the events that led to his return to > > > > Allah.

| slm Yeah AJ I know the tape you are talking about. The speaker on the beginning of the Nasheed 'Hamm wa Ghamm' is reading from the book that I translated from. i.e. both that Shaykh (believe it's Ibrahim Duwaish) and I were using the same source. The source is Az-Zaman Al-Qaadim vol.1 Compiled by Abdul Malik al-Qasim in Riyadh, KSA I have other stories from that book, but it is my egroup exclusive. To join the group, just send a blank email to AddMe@soon.com hey, i have to plug my stuff when i get a chance :) ..I'm waiting for the story too (ohh the suspense) |

| [quote]Recalled??? Why?[/quote] slm, I was a young tyke at the time, but I seem to remember something about copyright infringements, or something of the sort. I believe they were sold one year at ISNA, but not after that. I could be totally wrong. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, "La Tauba" was a cool song, and it didn't infringe any copyrights! <that I know of :)> Take Care, Wassalam Nazia |

| Yeah Nazia that's me - the author of La Tauba Alhamdulillah, lot's has changed since then. I was speaking at an MSA conference and at the end someone asked me to recite Qur'an. Now it's caught on, a lot of lectures I give I'm asked to recite Qur'an. I think back to the days when people would have begged me to sing the la Tauba song. Alhamdulillah, the youth are getting more attached to the words of Allah. There is nothing sweeter than spending a few moments with the brothers reciting Kalaam Allah. BTW The La Tauba song wasn't the reason it was recalled. It was recalled for another song "I'm a young Muslim" I know all the inside info on the banning of that tape. There was so much controversy about it, that I prayed Istikhaarah to Allah and asked that if it was good let it be passed (and sold), if not then ban it (have it recalled). It was recalled! Alhamdulillah. Here is a line from the song: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fir'own, that disbelieving god king in full swing he was doing his own thing He had babes, he had slaves, everyday of his life his foot was in his grave, yet time engraved as he met a big tidal wave Ding ding a ling, death began to sing he returned to Allah with no money or no offspring ... With all his moola, his hoopla and his lock jaw All he had to do was stop ... and do towbah :) |
