“In the name of Allah the most beneficial the most merciful

I would like to start by saying I wanted to speak from my heart and not through any particular position that this temporarily world may have given me. Am also being very challenged right now because I am a public speaker because I want to say a meaning that is very sincere, and I think sincerity is something that is very difficult and a very rare commodity nowadays and am speaking for myself I think that the very word personality finding it’s root in Latin word persona meaning mask and I don’t want to have a mask before I speak and am hoping that everyone has shed their mask before they leave and have truly understand one another and looked at one another face trying to genuinely understand another one in what we all believe in below is a verse from the Qur’an.

O people we (God) have created you from a pair from a male and a female and we have made you into peoples and tribes that you may know one another.

I think that I would like to live it of saying that to me in this context Allah, God is if I am allowed to say sin ominous in this context with truth, justice, beauty and a sovereign good and I think that everybody here in one way or the other believes, that there is something true you wouldn’t be here if you believed that nothing can be true and there is something beautiful one way or the other again and there is something good because everybody has good in them, and that there is justice but the only difference between us is how we define respectively truth, justice, beauty and good so let me just tell you that Walahi by Allah I swear is all semantic and if we sit down and talk we will understand one another ultimately everyone will see what is destined for him or her to see but what ever it is not only will we see it through the veils but we will also love one another as it has happened and based on that we will give each other the respect that we have agreed to give each other not because it’s being forced on one another but because we love each other and have become friends and because taa3arafna and because we have gotten to know one another I think that Al – Sheik Bouti may Allah bless him. (Ameen)


Rubadaratil nafiha

That perhaps a harmful thing can bring out benefit and I think that a lot of benefit thing has come out of all this and I am very happy to live in this world in this time to experience this amazing human possibility of taaruf of knowing on another and recognizing the common ground between us we all have a common denominator our numerator is different. That’s all if you allow me to use a mathematical example.

May we all in hope for those who are religious I say a prayer and for those who are not lets just say we hope we look forward to understanding more deeply what truth is in whatever way we believe it to be living a life of beauty, living a life of truth, living a life of justice, living a life of good, and therefore living a life of harmony and therefore having serenity in our heart not living in agitation may none of us ever be a source of agitation for one another ever again

I thank you very much for reading this, and may I ask you to always remember the Ummah in your dua,

Alahuma aghfirli li ummati Muhammad salaalahu aleyhi wasalam. “

Moez Masoud is only just 30. He has claimed he once led a life of unscrupulousness, of wanton leisure. Partying up a storm every chance he can, imbibing everything in sight, living very careless and carefree. The death of his friends and his own near-death experience changed him. He admits he has faltered every now and then, but he was determined to change his life as Allah gave him a second chance, another chance at life, and he does not want to take it for granted.

In an interview, Masoud speaks of conducting the Islamic rituals, not because they were obligatory, but because he wanted to: “ I realized that it wasn’t simply about not drinking or not not praying. It wasn’t about not doing things. It was about loving Allah. Those outward actions were sanctions to nurture an inward love. You know what I mean? Allah says, (now I’m looking back at what I’ve learned) ‘Establish prayer’—that’s the outward form—‘to remember me’—that’s the inward reality. And I started to pray more on time because I wanted to now, not because it was obligatory. I started to pray with love. I wanted to go to the mosque. I felt something different when I went there. I enjoyed that.”

Masoud pointed out how the science of Ihsan, the purification of the heart, has been neglected in our quest of Islamic enlightenment: “There’s Islam, iman, ihsan. Islam, which is the outward forms, iman, which is what we believe in that conviction, ihsan, which is the life of all this excellence of worship and the science of Islam, the outward, is fiqh. So you need to get your fiqh from fukaha.
The science of iman is aqeeda. You need to know what to believe in, how many angels there are out there. That there are two angels on each of your side respectively, taking down what you’re doing. That God is one, that God is indivisible, that He’s outside of the realm of space and time. That’s aqeeda. But the one that has been neglected is the ihsan, the science of purification of the heart. How to become a saint, how to become someone who is so close to God that God says about those people, ‘I am the eyes with which they see.’ Not just for the prophets. This is attainable by anybody in the world now. ‘I am the eyes by which they see, the ears by which they hear, the hands and feet that they use.’ These people are very close to Allah. What is it about them that’s so godly? How do I become that person who God moves? That is the science of ihsan, and it’s been marginalized, even neglected completely“

Concentration has been placed on our outward spirituality, the rituals, but not our inward quest for spirituality – which ultimately leads one to a more elevated enlightenment as our faith not only moves our bodies but also our hearts.

Masoud spreads his message through modern mediums such as television and the Internet, the latter of which is how I came across him.

He speaks always of universality, of love, of a truth that we all share, of a “common denominator”.

Though he is young, his wisdom far surpasses those who are more mature in age, and even they confer to him the deference deserved of a man replete with sagacity.
