The origin of Muraqabah lies in the saying of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, “Adore Allah as if you are seeing Him, and if you do not see Him, know that He is seeing you.” http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/3/d/4/600_322029172.jpeg http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/a/b/a/600_303906842.jpeg Please visit our webpage for more information (http://www.singapore.sufischool.org)

**tl;dr** Share stories of people you met in your travels. **Details:** * Where: **7:30 to 8:50 PM, Bugis NLB library,** **Program Room 1** (**basement**) or via Zoom * **Zoom link:** Email joinmeet@posteo.net for the link * After: Discussions until last train/bus at the Bras Basah building food court next doors. * Optional: Join **Telegram for reminder**: [https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1](https://t.me/+7TNAbjU60PVjOTE1) (super low volume, used for reminders only) More: Besides seeing new places, one of the joys of travel is encountering people. Not just the locals at our destinations, but also the travelers we meet along the way—at airports, rest stops, perhaps trains. Do you have stories of any such encounters? Perhaps someone who borrowed your phone charger, then ended up telling you their life story. Someone you found interesting, spent talking the half the night, but were too shy to ask for their contact. Or someone who went out of their way to help you in a crisis. Join us and share stories of your encounters during your travels.

Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties.

It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it “an unforgettable exercise in tension” and “a brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.” PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will confirm/announce details as the date gets closer.
