The phrases; Subhan'Allah, Masha'Allah, Hamduli'Allah

This post entry is related to Islam.

As a muslim, there are three phrases i often use to show admiration and appreciation for something, and to thank God for creating them; Subhan Allah, Masha'Allah, and Hamduli Allah.

They all mean 'Praise and showing appreciation for what God has created' , but each phrase is on a different level, and used at different times.

You will often hear muslims say: Subhan Allah, how things turned out the way they did. Subhan Allah look at the mountains.
You will also hear muslims say: Masha'Allah, your baby is beautiful! (wow, your baby is beautiful!) Mashaa'Allah, you're very smart! (wow , you're very smart)
And you will also hear muslims converse like this: How are you? I'm good, al hamduli'Allah. (meaning i'm good , thank God).

The phrase Subhan Allah, in my opinion, has the deepest meaning, and the purest symbol of appreciation. When i say it, it's like saying what is almost equivalent to WOW, and when i say it, I think of things that won't ever go away, like: The sun, mountains, the sea, nighttime, mornings, smiles, breath of fresh air...etc.

Do-Re-Mi

I try to leave the really big appreciation topics until it's time for the big subjects, or until someone tells me to write about it. Sometimes we just want to use appreciation for small things, because it seems light, and easy. Music can be both big and small ! depending on your experience. Whatever it is for you, try to enjoy this entry, like you would enjoy a song :)

1. Notes , different notes. Imagine there was one note! or no notes to distinguish

2. Voice: different voices, different types of voices

3. Genres

4. Instruments

5. Music Therapy

6. Music education, classes, skills, talent and practice

7. Artists , singers - hard work that goes for a song.

8. Emotions, Mood

9. Communication. Music is like a language/ a story.

10. Culture

11. Musicals, Operas, Plays, Weddings, Events, Parties, Concerts

12. History of music

13. Makes you stop to enjoy the moment- Can be breathtaking

14. Dance & Rhythm

15. It's Art & Science

There's so much more to appreciate about music! But i'll leave that for you to think of.

La, Ti,Do, Appreciated,

Appreciating the SUN

This is a big one people! the SUN. Even when it's in my eyes, i know i'd rather have it there than otherwise.

MY BIGGEST sun appreciation is Sunrise. Can't really get up at that time, but when i do, just knowing the sun is rising makes me feel good.

Another thing i appreciate about the sun, is that it's constant, it's always there and no one can change it. so when you appreciate it, you are appreciating something perfect, because it's always true, and it is meant to be there in your life. So it's like a gift that'll never vanish...except maybe in winter! (it'll come back don't worry!)

Here's my list of sun appreciations:

1- Sunrise! and sunsets for some people.

2- Energy

3- Warm, hot

4- How the color of the sky changes when the sun is there

5- You know for sure that there is a sun! it's real, it's in everything (science, religion, and even horoscopes!)

6- We see it as YELLOW, but it's not even really yellow!

7- The sun is a star * :) and it's the only star we see in the morning.

Oh Silly Me

I heard/read the word SILLY three times last week; "silly-willy!", "don't be silly" "Silly fun times!" including today. It's a really cute word, even when someone's being sarcastic.

Here is to good ol' silly:

* SILLY times (Rasha MK appreciation): just silly fun times. They're spontaneous and goofy.

* You realize that you were making a big deal out of nothings after you've encountered any kind of silly.

* Silly is associated with hope in a way.

Unfortunately you can't just force a silly, it just happens. You could help by telling yourself that 'you're being silly'!

Bohoma istuti, Appreciated,
