May 21, 2007 - I already answered this question before:IstiArief (1 week ago) The Saudi King's image represents people who blame others for their misfortune who first need to see their innerself and battle their own inner nafs or demons before they can blame others. I pick him because he seems two-faced to me, on one hand, he claims to be the guardian of Mekkah, and on the other, he shakes hands with people like Bush.

May 21, 2007 - TheArabianMuslim (5 days ago) what does the picture of king abdullah has to do with this??,,,if u mean not helping...then u should put the pictures of ALL the rulers, at least king abdullah is better than others!!!!!!! IstiArief (5 days ago) I've already answered this question before. Yes, I can pick other leaders, but he is the only leader to claim Guardian of Mekkah and shakes hands with people like Bush. No other leader claims Guardian of the city of Ka'bah - that's why I pick him.

IstiArief Says:

May 21, 2007 - lol! ... seriously though, American people who are suffering are also portrayed in this video. Injustice knows no bounds.

May 22, 2007 - O_o !!idk am i supposed to laugh or what ??King abdullah is the best leader that saudi arabia has ever had besides king faisal -god bless his soul-.so what if he shakes hands with ppl like bush ??!! isnt he our leader who represents us ? then what, u want him to disconnect and dissociate himself from the world?? THAT is wrong!!he's a very smart n brave politician so u envious can keep ur ideas to urself!! SIGH!!

IstiArief Says:

May 22, 2007 - Bitter aren't we? This is called freedom of expression. I guess they don't have much of those in Saudi Arabia.

jeeoislam Says:

May 22, 2007 - right behind you istiaref the only thing that represents us muslims is meccah/madina and not the people that rule it......

jeeoislam Says:

May 22, 2007 - right behind you istiArief...whats dear to muslims is the place not the people that rule it......

ayazkhana Says:

May 22, 2007 - Being the Best of Creation,Man can easily be fooled by great philosophys and great thinkers with clever sayings,many people get lost this way but Islam is the ultimate truth from Allah.Man is in search for the ultimate truth constantly & Islam is it.Nice Vid,Mate.Allah said to Prophet Adam,was it not for Muhammad,i would not have created you.Something to think about.

scribbles85 Says:

hanazeezeeq Says:

May 23, 2007 - this song is beautiful..dun giv a fuck abt watchu haters say

IstiArief Says:

May 23, 2007 - allrighty then!

IstiArief Says:

May 23, 2007 - I have witnessed that King Abdullah and his throne descendants claim to be guardian of Mekkah (among other things that he claims), it was posted on some saudi government website I stumbled upon some years ago. Those who disagree with me, fine - we'll just have to agree to disagree.

IstiArief Says:

May 23, 2007 - I found several websites to back up my claim above, although they are not exactly the same one I saw years ago, it still brings the same point. Look under ministry of Hajj Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and wikipedia under Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Can't post the site on comment. YouTube doesn't allow. I'll put the sites on the bottom of my video comment.

vistakhan Says:

May 23, 2007 - realy great song and nice video , long live sami

IstiArief Says:

May 24, 2007 - Announcement: I'm starting graduate school now (5/07), it will consume most of my time, so I won't be around managing my YouTube channel as much anymore. As so, I have decided to close the comment section as it does consume most of my time and because this video stirs enough controversy that I cannot commit to be the mediator any longer.

IstiArief Says:

May 24, 2007 - Announcement (Cont'd): I believe all of the essential things that need to be said so far have been expressed. I bid you all good day. Thanks to all who watched, rated, and commented so far, and thanks also to those who will be watching and rating.

Channel: Music

Song featured in Sami Yusuf's "My Ummah" album, done with english text of the lyrics.I made this after watching Sami Yusuf and Isam on a concert together performing this song. They pointed out that this song speaks of any troubled children in the world, even if some lyrics explicitly point to the Palestinian struggle. All of the videos on this song that I saw on YouTube represent that particular struggle only. I'd like to return to the concept of the creators of the music, and try to incorporate all of the world's children's suffering-- this is my attempt at it.Please rate it and tell me what you think-- constructive criticism is highly preferred over blind offense, and appreciation is always welcomed.If you want to help, give your time or your earnings to causes you believe in. It's not how much you give, it's that you give. This is my preference charity outlet that I trust, but you can choose your own:www.islamic-relief.com (International)www.irw.org (USA) - recipient of Four Star Charity by Charity NavigatorCorcerning Music and Islam:After searching the quran and found empty on any banning of music, I turn to Hadeeth:Hadeeth Shahih Muslim (excerpts from www.quran.net)Muhammad, peace be upon him allows the enjoyment of singing and musical instruments. Hence, music is not haram.Book 004, Number 1942: " 'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came (in my apartment) while there were two girls with me singing the song of the Battle of Bu'ath. He lay down on the bed and turned away his face. Then came Abu Bakr and he scolded me and said: Oh! this musical instrument of the devil in the house of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)! The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned towards him and said: Leave them alone. And when he (the Holy Prophet) became unattentive, I hinted them and they went out, and it was the day of 'Id and negroes were playing with shields and speare. (I do not remember) whether I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) or whether he said to me if I desired to see (that sport). I said: Yes. I stood behind him with his face parallel to my face, and he said: O Banu Arfada, be busy (in your sports) till I was satiated. He said (to me): Is that enough? I said: Yes. Upon this he asked me to go."Song/Music are just tools, like talking, that can deliver both good and evil. Talking can do a lot of harm (backbiting, gossiping), but Talking in general isn't haram - only backbiting and gossiping is haram. Music does the same, so why some people want to claim it Haram, when it is only a tool to perform good or evil. Listening to good music is like listening to talks of good and beauty of the creation of Allah, and listening to raunchy music is like listening to gossip. So claim haram to only those music that are lustful and profane, but not all music - especially good music.Book 033, Number 6422: "Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect."King Abdullah claim title "Guardian of two Holy Cities" website reference:"On the death of King Fahd on 1st August, 2005, the title of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques was assumed by King Fahd's successor, King Abdullah." --- is from Ministry of Hajj, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia website:http://www.hajinformation.com/main/d10.htmanother reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custodian_of_the_Two_Holy_Mosques
