@kooolaid79 Greetings dear brother. Its truly is upsetting with all the guys fighting like that. I was not defending anyone. It was my moral responsibility to talk about respected members and vendors I adore. I wont be participating in any of these forums but only through my channel. I am a simple basic man. I will take sometime to rejuvenate my senses. I believe business should be conducted properly and should not play with individual. Its not good to bring down the live of Oud. No offense to anyone but these public forums seem be afflicted with a lot of confusion, misinformation and saddening business deals. Anyway I trust my vendors. But I also at the same time wish to see more love in these forums. I am a neutral person. If you see from my perspective as a new Oud enthusiast such discussions are truly detrimental to my Oud engagement. I come here for learning and a sense of companionship with like minded individuals. Hopefully people on both sides will turn NORMAL soon.
God bless you all.
Fighting for rights and freedom is part of human rights. If the right to speak the truth is taken away from Us , person taking the rights away is like dictator or tyrant , it’s like the same example in Bangladesh in 1971 were my family had no writes to speak their own language freedom of speech , hence 15 million bangladeshi were killed , but at the end we did get freedom of language and to speak freely.
I myself work many jobs , but my best Job I really loved was in a synagogue working as a caterer for my Jewish friends and family , I learned allot of business ethics from them and seen how they treat repeat customers , hence customers comes 1st and treat them with ultimate respect and Hashem ( God ) will provide more and blessings in return.
Oud should be shared with mankind , not putting a price tag that something I love , if that happens we are not far away from destruction in any community , I personally love to give free oud to people and strangers , Because I love doing that , and Hashem , Allah SWT , Ganesh who ever the supreme being is he gives back in multiple folds , I am a witness of that. Hence I do not do it for $$$$ , I do it for the passion to make people smile .
Being simple is the best in life. I am like that also , I can live of Dal Bhat for 30 years no worries, or eat 1 hemp seed a day for 30 Years like Budda ( may God be pleased with him )
In Bengali its’ -Shoja Shoral manosh (straight path simple people)
I came to the conclusion to throw out all my oils and just build orphan houses in Bangladesh , my great uncle advised do both and Allah SWT will provide , I am not a religious person but he was right , we help the poor and Allah SWT open gate to this world and hereafter
Last thing , We are one big family , treated with respect is human rights , Like my Great grand Dad who is part of Moinuddin Chisti Order said to me “ Treat all living creatures with love and respect, feed the blind and hungry and Allah will take care of you and your families”
Hence we are one big family ( Umah , all religions and races together =Umah)
