What a night!

Tonight is the first night of the Holly Month of Ramadan. We have prayed night prayer in congregation, which is a soothing and soul-rejuvenating experience. Allah has bestowed upon us this month to be an opportunity to cleanse our soul and pause for refueling! an opportunity to get closer to Allah by purifying ourselves from the being attached to earthly subjects and focus on the hereafter. Observing fasting during the month of Ramadan is like a training camp for the person to strengthen one's will and self-control and free oneself from being a salve of lusts and whims. It is an opportunity to boost our piety and closeness to Allah Almighty. Our inner peace and true happiness comes from being true lover and obedient of Allah's guides and commands. When we migrate from being enslaved by our earthly desires and greed to becoming servants of Allah, the prize is beyond one's imagination. Satan will do whatever possible to deviate us from benefiting by this experience. So, let's be smart enough to make the most of this month ... Ramadan Mubarak .. tomorrow I will travel again to Amman Jordan to spend a week with the family. It is a heart-pleasing to be together!

What an Experience!

Today we completed the PMP workshop at Jeddah. This event has been one of the best I have ever engaged in. The group was so smart and enthusiastic. The discussion was enlightening and the energy level was high. The session was full of fun and laughter. I am so grateful to every one for the great participation and contribution. This success would not be possible without the excellent contribution and positive attitude of the participants. I will always remember the names. The experience has been one of its kind! I thank Allah for granting me this great bounty to meet great people like this group. I am confident they will pass the PMP credential Exam from the first time Insha'Allah. Now, I am counting the minutes till I travel to Amman Jordan to rejoin my family for another week Insha'Allah. Life is beautiful. Let's enjoy it by doing good, loving each other, contributing the betterment of out society, by enjoying our time with our beloved ones ... live life and do good for the hereafter

Jeddah is special

I am surprised because when I arrived to Jeddah on August 15th I made a post on the same day to tell you about what I have seen at Jeddah and how beautiful it has become ... but I am checking my blog today and I don't see that post ... anyhow ... I am still at Jeddah. My time is wisely occupied and I so happy and energized as I am engaged with professionals with whom we are enjoying the exchange of experiences and knowledge! I do a training session in the morning and another training session in the evening ... so from 8 am till 10 pm I am doing training ... yet I am enjoying every minute of my day ... what makes me more happy is that in 3 more days I will be flying to Amman again to spend a week with my family! I am longing seeing them again. Also, I am excited about the Holy Month of Ramadan ... is nearing fast! WOW! Alhamdullah, Allah's bounties and provisions are so great that necessitate from me a lot of gratitude and giving ... let's all adopt an attitude of gratitude for all that Allah has given to us ... let's share what we have with others ... whether that money, knowledge, caring, support ... anything that we can do for others to make their live better ... When we give and care for others, certainly Allah will be with us

Jeddah is Beautiful

It's been a long time since I left Jeddah. Yesterday, I came to Jeddah to conduct a training workshop on project management professionalism (PMP). Although I was born and raised at Jeddah, this time I found it different. But you know what makes it different? not its buildings or roads ... its people. It seems they are fun-inclined and more sociable than people of the central province. Its weather is okay. Although it's mid of August, the climate last night was acceptable .. humid but with a nice breeze. Temerature is something like 31 degree C ... I liked it. During my workshop I came to know a group of wonderful professionals who are so nice and educated ... the kind of people you will want to maintain relationship with them. One of them, Dr. Omar, he was so kind to give me a ride back to my hotel. Engaging in discussion with him is stimulating and enloghtening. His character is so special and well-mannered. He's so smart and ambitious. I felt close to him although we have been acquainted for a few hours only. I believe our souls meet not just our bodies. Thus, time and location won't matter a lot. I am enjoying my stay at Jeddah. However, I am longing to travel to Amman again end of the week to be with my family. I miss my wife and every member of my family.

I'm in Amman

I finished my training workshop on August 6 at 3 pm, I rushed to the airport ... I left immediately for Jordan to spend 4 days with my wife and kids. I am so happy to be with them. I missed them so dearly! I am writing this post while at Amman enjoy chatting and looking at my wife and my children around me. This is a great bounty of Amighty Allah and I beg of Him to protect us all. I love my family and they love me. Love is life! Without love, life becomes dull! If you have somebody to love and he or she shares the same love with you then you're one of those who are lucky. Life is not about money or materialistic things, it is about how we live our life ... with love life is rich and fun! so let's spread love, speak love, share love, fill up our heart with love ...

I'm Back!

It's been a while I couldn't write anything here at my blog. Last week I had a very busy but exciting week! I was delivering training workshops twice a day; once in the morning to various corporates to introduce myself and a long workshop in the evening for a fee. I delivered two subjects namely, project management professionalism (PMP) and business networking skills. Although it was a bit tiring but truly exciting and energizing! I met a number of people I will want to maintain relationship. One of the great things about conducting training shops is that it is an opportunity for growth by sharing and learning. My personal experience with training is so enlightening and refreshing. The session is fun packed. I believe that we learn better when we laugh and feel happy. Thus, we do laugh and enjoy good time while we learn. I am so grateful to every person attends my training session. I am really gifted to meet new people who are competent and special. Indeed conducting training workshop is a mission to contributing to the betterment of people life and skills. I feel that Allah has chosen me to be amongst those who are destined to be there for people ... helping them and inspiring them to realize their greatness! A great motto to adopt and spread out ... learn, share, and grow
