Ok. I knew that as a common Christian term. So, I was thinking.. what would be a good answer to that. I wanted to reply, "The Lord is my shepherd too, but my Lord is not Jesus, my Lord is One". But I thought that sounded a teeny weeny bit sarcastic, not very nice.
I wanted to think of a nicer, better answer, but then, I was also trying to think of what word to put next on scrabble, so I answered, ' :) Muslim.'
And then, he/she went, 'oooooooooo'. I didn't count the exact number of 'o's but i think it was about that long. Perhaps he/she has never known or come in direct contact with any Muslim before. Perhaps.
Then he/she went on to tell me that he/she's from Sacramento. He/she asked where I'm from, so I told him/her. I was actually in a rush to finish the game, because I WAS
The game finished soon after (and I won), and I said, 'good game, thanks. I'm late for work!' and logged off.
Now I'm thinking, it would have been interesting, to let him/her tell me about her beliefs and I'll tell him/her about mine.
Maybe I'll try to look out for him/her, next time I'm on scrabulous. But shoots.. I vaguely remember his/her nickname.
I hope I see him/her again, maybe I'll recognise the nick.
Maybe next time I can explain to him/her about My Lord.
He is the One God;
God the Eternal, the Absolute;
He begets not, and neither is He begotten;
and there is NOTHING that could be compared with Him.
Al Quran, Al Ikhlas 112:1-4
p.s. Oh no.. I'm no expert. I lose more than I win in Scrabulous.
Oh..yeay! A.L.I.F!
Salam Jumu'ah!

Thanks for the link dear.
I am sure Zee(my other half)would visit it.
She's an my daughter are scrabble addict.
Wassalam.
kalau macam tu, kena be preparedlah
Pak Tuo,
Ye ke?? maybe nanti I can play scrabble with ur wife. :D
mak su,
Itu lah.. tengah prepare script skrg.
I'm proud of Singaporean muslim activist. Juz went back from there.
You r so dedicated to our religion. Very professional in handling non-muslim esp when they ask questions which should then be answered logically rather than quranically.
Superb. I admire u all. Think of going there again. Yes, soon.. to get inspiration from u all.
Alhamdulillah, I met Habib Hasan (Masjid Ba'alawi) and your great mufti in person. Hope to be like them..
suhail,
Alhamdulillah, me too, i've seen such vast improvements in the quality of our da'ies.
but I think kat malaysia pun, got some good, open-minded ones. Like that mufti (i forgot which country - but he is quite young and outspoken), then there is ustaz h..yang kat saifulislam tu.
Hope to be like them also. ameen.
some aje? alot ah pat mesia!
al-maklum lah singapore is just a small dot on the map compared to malaysia kan.
apapun, malaysia can!
:") itu yang i know lah.. oh! oh!.. yes.. then there's ustaz dzul, ustaz soberi both from uniti - they are good! really good.
I hope i'll meet more people who inspires me. :) insyaAllah. Ameen.
thnx for the link.
Been meaning to try...heard it's addictive.
ada scrabulous for dummies ke??? Am very bad at it.
take care
takde scrabulous for dummies, but got solitaire scrabulous.. you play with a robot.
if you're on scrabulous, start by not playing timed game.. stress - or make the time 40 mins ke.
Or if you're on facebook, you can take your own sweet time to finish the game. :p
