2. I adore the Sea (Nagat Al Saghira-Egypt) - Al Mutakabbir (The Majestic)
One of the first world music Cd’s I picked up from the Virgin shop when I was 19 was this - Arabia The women's voice. Track 9 - OMG it made my heart flutter I can feel it now. I didn't understand any of the language as now I know the singer is a famous classical singer from Egypt. But I spent nights listening to this and feeling transported into a different plane. The music seemed to capture a sense of longing which seem to pull my heart along. I remember thinking when I heard this that I just want to be this music.
According to my source the 10th Name of Allah - Al Mutaakabbir (the majestic or supreme greatness) is described as the path to vastness, an ever-expanding cosmic wave removing all boundaries. Its about as transcendental as one can imagine. Its about going beyond ones relationship with God and constantly going beyond limitations. This song was one of my earliest experiences of what these words may mean. Thanks to you tube I have now found it again and there is an english translation. Check it out. If you have no idea what I am talking about then maybe you should experience it. Then tell me:
How did this feel?
Have you felt this before?
Whats your understanding of 10th Name of Allah and how does it appear in your day to day life?
Are there other songs this reminds you of?
For those of you who are creative perhaps you can respond to the words in the song below. I am also linking in electronic versions of the music others have attempted. Im interested in both the lyrics leading to a new song and the music leading to a new song. So rather than replicate it as some have done to use this as a source of inspiration to do something new. As an idea start your vibration for any content with the arabic word Al Mutakabbir which you can find a link on this page. (Please note I welcome contributions in different languages but I will need the english translation).

Lyrics (english translation from Egyptian so not 100% accurate)
I adore the sea
its mental like you my love
and sometimes crazy like you
and migrant and traveler
and sometime its confused like you
and sometimes its upset like you
and sometimes it filled with patience
I adore the sea
I adore the sky
because its tolerant like you
sown with stars and happiness
and beloved and strange
because its far like you
and sometimes it near like you
with melodic eyes
I adore the sky
I adore the road
because our meetings are on it
and our happiness
and our misery
our friends and our youth
and our tears laughed in it
and our candles cried in it
and the friend was lost in it
I adore the road
I adore the sea
I adore the sky
I adore they're life
and you are honey
your the whole life
