I haven't put up a Good News Post for quite some time, so I figured its time to cheer up my readers. Here's an uplifting music video from Native Deen from their new album, Not Afraid to Stand Alone (coming out soon):
There's another, more selfish, reason for posting the video.
It's not because one of the singing trio, Naeem Muhammad, is a good childhood friend of mine (he plays the football coach in the vid). Listen up sisters, he’s got only *one* wife. So there’s three lucky ladies out there just waiting to be snatched up. :-)
I’m also not posting it because his wife, Sahra, is one of my most loyal readers and commenters. Or at least she was, until that last paragraph. Hey sis, I was only kidding about the one wife joke. Right? heh (nervous laugh) heh...
I’m also not posting it because the young brother starring in the video, Tariq Jones, who plays the football star, is Naeem’s younger brother and one of the first ever members of the Muslim Kids Club. MKC was a youth group Sahra, Naeem, myself, and a few others started around 10 years ago.
Oh and Tariq’s not just a make-believe football player, he’s for real. And he’s nice.
The reason I’m posting it is because my wife’s younger brother is the *real* star of the video. Around the 2:28 mark, he’s the second football player coming off the bus, wearing number 81. You can see his face in the still-picture of the video above (right behind number 30).
Gosh (eyes tearing up), we’re all so proud of little Bilal. Sure his role is less than a millisecond, but it seems like a full second to us. He’s finally made it bigtime!
So be careful not to blink. You might miss a star being born.
Just don’t call it genocide

Naeem, AA,
I read this post and the one on burps in tarawih :) and I must tell you that you have a great sense of humour, mA!
AA Naeem
Actually, the same day of the video filming, I was supposed to move some furniture with Bilal for your wife, Naeem. But ol' Brad Pitt here had a scene to shoot. And this guy went up until 10 o'clock at night. Only now did I find out that it was for just a one second clip. You can make fun of him all you want, Naeem - but this kid is devoted!!!
wow.....
there we go junaid,you tell em!
and for all those extra sharp eyes waiting to be put to good use,you can also find me more towards the begining of the video in the hallway clip for about .00002343 seconds.talk about needing 20/20 vision
AA-
@Suroor, Thanks for the compliment ...so does that mean you'll have my back when Sahra comes looking for my head?! :-)
@Junaid, yeah I heard the same story about being there until 10pm, but the first thought that came to my mind wasn't 'devoted'... it was more like 'delirious' LOL!
@Bilal, I saw that .00002sec segment as well. Thanks for the memories bro! :-)
Naeem,
Polygamy jokes are NOT funny...
SIKEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Naeem,
I'm a little late on this post. FYI, I told Naeem he can snatch up any one of those 3 chicks-in-waiting, as long as she can get past me (and more importantl, Basma, Jenna, Maysan, & Nashwa)!
Mr. Espey, it is not funny to say that polygamy is not funny and then renig, this is what happens when you do: http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_top/20070809_Report__Wife_of_slain_millionaire_turns_herself_in.html
Just copy and paste it, I'm not too tekky! :-)
Let's show some sensitivy toward the plight of Muslim women folks!
Here's that link again, I think it cut off the first time...
