Meeting Dr Bilal

 

Alhamdulillah. Finally got to meet the founder and Chancellor of our uni IOU (International Open University), Dr Bilal Philips at The Faith Conference yesterday. Been attending his Fiqh and Aqeedah (online) lectures these past 3 semesters, and have benefitted so much from him and the rest of the BAIS faculty. Masya Allah, Tabarakallah.

There Is Never Room For Racism

 

By the grace and permission of Allah, I got to perform my Umrah back in January this year. Alhamdulillah.

Indeed, it was also a great blessing that we got to experience Umrah after all the Covid-19 SOPs have been lifted. We were free to move around anywhere with no restrictions and the wearing of masks was purely voluntary.

One of the holy sites that we got to visit which was previously closed was Jabal Rahmah, although I did not climb up the 70m hill, having done so during my last Umrah some years ago.

But it was here that our mutawwif reminded us of Prophet Muhammad SAW’s Farewell Sermon, the Khutbah al-Wada’. Among other things, the Prophet SAW said, “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white – except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.”

It is a fundamentally important message that says, there is no racism in Islam.

Food, Glorious Food!: Ambuyat, It's Been A While!

 

Ambuyat for dinner tonight! Alhamdulillah. Ambuyat, or also known as linut, is the Brunei national dish and can also be found in parts of Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan. Drove all the way up to Lutong for this place Selihah Catering, located in a very quiet neighbourhood. The fam never had ambuyat before but they... LOVED IT. 😍😍 The last time I ate it was about a decade ago in Bandar Seri Begawan, the night before the Brunei Half Marathon along with the ntv7 team. I still struggle with the assisted chopsticks though. Hahahaha.
