Allah creates myriads of blessings to facilitate mankind’s vicegerency on Earth. One of them is music. — Prof Dr Amriah Buang

His forte is music. What’s wrong with that? — Prof Dr Amriah Buang

Da’wah OOTB (1): Time to press the de-alienate button. — Prof Dr Amriah Buang
Da’wah is ultimately about patience (الصَّبْرِ), not just patience with regard to the mad’u but perhaps more so with regard to the Daies themselves: their willingness, humility and sincerity to demolish their own ego and pride, make amends, and learn new ways in the name of da’wah bil hikmah – da’wah with wisdom.
