Tajweed Tangents is the new title for a small video series I plan on continuing. It’s a compilation of videos and footage I have from the Tajweed class I took with Wisam Sharieff.

If you know or have been in one of Wisam’s classes (especially the one-weekend ones), you’ll know that he loves to go off on various tangents that are both insightful and hold much wisdom. This is just that.

This is technically the 2nd episode, but the last one wasn’t an official video series.

Ironically, I’ve also been getting a lot of reminders about the importance of sincere intention lately as well.

Here’s a video from Brother Nihal Khan on Intentions,

I walk into the Masjid and meet two youth (only a year or two younger than me). While waiting for our class to begin, I take out my iPod Touch to read some Qur’an.

However, one of the two kids eagerly asks if he could see it, pretty please.

I allow him. He, along with most of the other youth, finds it weird that my iPod doesn’t have a pass code on it. I don’t feel my iPod contents needs to be hidden. I try to live my life correctly and justify my actions (I know they can’t be hidden from Allah, so what do I care what anyone, but Him, thinks of me?)
