[Shahrazad]

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I am very pleased and I appreciate your request for interviewing me, I'll try my best to answer all of the questions. Deeply hoping you'll enjoy this interview
Members, feel free to ask anything, I promise I'll answer the ones I can and leave the ones that are too personal ;)


Age: 20 Alhamdulilah, do I sound younger/older in my posts?

Gender: Female

Nationality:Omani

Status:Single

Profession: Speech and Language Therapist (to be Inshallah)

Religion: Islam (Alhamdulilah :) )

Personal Questions:

1) Tell us something about how your childhood was and some of your best memories

Something quite interesting about Silent tunes before she came to this life. before I was born my mother had to undergo some X-rays for some reasons. She didn't know that she was pregnant at that time, hence because of so much hazardous X-ray input she was told that her baby(me) would be somehow disabled (i.e. I could've lost any of my limbs or even brain).
Mum and dad sticked to having me no matter what although mum was told she could be better off with an abortion, her reply was: "even if she was with no brain, I still want her". Mashallah & Sub7an, anyway then i was born Alhamdulilah with no any defects (althought I doubt having a brain at times :rolleyes: joking :D )!

Then comes my childhood days, they were the best I admit and there is loads to talk about. One major thing, I was the sort of kid that could cry 24/7 non-stop, my family would go for Holidays and leave me with my Grandma because of this (that's a thing i can't 4get and deeply hope my children won't be the same :gap:

2) Do you have any brothers or sisters? With which one are you closer and why?.
Yes, I've got 6 bro's and sis's, I like families this big. My eldest sister is Arabian Princess. I can say I'm close to all of them, each of them has taught me something precious in life!

3) In terms of look and character, what did you take from your mother and from your father?
Everyone says I look like my mother, I'm not sure if I really do :) it's my pleasure anyway!
My personality isn't something like my mother nor is it like my father, They were once categorising my bro's and sis' to personalities and whether they hold my dad's character or my mom's, they stopped at me and couldn't say (it's probably a mixture of both)!
Maybe members who know me personally can say something about my personality :)


4) Do you have any hobbies?
I like reading, writing articles, peotry...

5) Which countries have you visited so far?
Gulf countries, Turkey, Germany, Uk, Belgium, Holand, Denmark.

6) What are the qualities you are looking for in a man?
I must admit I first look at his faith? then comes the personality! How social he is, loving, caring, knowlegdable. Will help me in everything from bringing up my kids to little house work things!
I believe the soul butifies a person, as long as a man can take care of himself, beauty doesn't matter so much.

7) Do you have a best friend? If yes, tell us what make your friendship so special?
I always fail to define a best friend, I've got so many friends/cousins/sisters who are very special and can be considered as best friend :lost:. Maybe it depends who I'm with at certain times of the year?!


Replies to the rest of the questions will soon be posted :)

Silent_tunes Nice knowing you

If the man you are hoping for meets all the above qualities. and unfortunately he happend to be a married Men, will you accept and take him to be your husband and also to be second Wife to him...

[DeSerTDesTroYeR]

Mashallah....well so far ...seems as an interesting interview its going to be...waiting for your replies to the rest of the questions..before starting with mine..:)

What would make you really happy or really make your day?
To you what is the greatest gift someone can ever give you?
Shall come back with more of these..;)

[Shahrazad]

Thanks members for your input :), I'll reply once I'm done with xp's main questions, so hold your horses I'll be with your questions in minutes!


English Sabla related questions:

1) How did you hear about English Sabla?
My sister Arabian Princess had been urging me to join since she first joined, then it took me round a year or so to start participating.


2) Your nick is "Silent_tune". Explain this 'contradiction' and are you a musical person?
No I'm not a musical person, I chose "Silent tunes as a nickname because I believe it's a trait in me i.e. turbulence of tunes echoing deep inside yet I choose to remain silent (in so many situations). Most of the times it had it's positive outcome, few times it was better if I spoke out! Because of this trait, some missunderstand me!

3) Which Sabla within this forum do you visit the most?
Religion & General Sabla!

4) You have about less then 2 posts per day, why so little participation?
I used to be so active when I first joined, but I guess having more comitments with studies made me drift my boat away from sabla!

5) Name few threads which you opened recently.
This is the most recent thread I opened, but didn't have the time to reply and join the discussion :oSharing vs Caring? (http://www.englishsabla.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=13116&highlight=sharing+vs+caring)

6) Did you recommend this forum to anyone?
Yes I did, it was more like making them more active rather than joining for the first time.

7) What change you would like to see in the English Sabla?
1. Less chit-chatting
2. More serious topics that aid in helping the society
3. I noticed the Health and Education Sabla isn't visited by most members, although the topics out there are brilliant!

[UmHamed]

Becasue I find it hard to accept the fact that my husband could have a second wife -if there wasn't anything wrong with me- then No i don't accept myself to be a second wife in return!

What would make you really happy or really make your day?

Anything very unexpected good event happens, or finding something I've been searching for years, or even meeting or receiving a call from a friend I haven't been in touch with for so long! Oh yes, not to forget receiving a call from my family when I'm not in my home country :)

To you what is the greatest gift someone can ever give you?

Love, Respect & care..

1.) Would u care to tell us more about ur Profession
"Speech and Language Theray"
It's a new major I should say and still more research is still to be done. It has progressed dramatically in the past 50 years and inshallah more is to come!

What is it about? It's working with people who need aid in expressing themselves either verbally or non-verablly.

For those who have limited speech abilities, we prompt the exisiting knowledge and skill of speech for them to make their speech clearer.
and for those who do not have speech at all, we look into different strategies that could help them in expressing themselves (how they feel/ what do they need....etc, e.g.Sign language could come in the way, or using communication electronic devices where a person could type what he wants to say and the device would immediately speak it aloud, there are loads and loads of interventions)

(I wouldn't go into details of Speech and language therapy, but if anyone is interested in knowing more about it, please feel free to PM me)

2.) What is a perfect day for you?
I've just answered a similar question asked by Dr N, Check my pevious post :) !

[UmHamed]

wow interesting.

[IceTea]

Nice to know more about you tunes :)

Few questions for you:

1. Are you very good in using the sign language ? And will you except a job in Oman TV as news translator using the sign language ?

2. Lets assume you are married, and your husband get to know other women and fell in love with her for one reason or another (something out of his control). He decided to marry her in "halal" as per Islam, so he discussed the issue with you. What will be your reaction, keep in mind that he loves you and alos love the other women. Will you allow him to marry her, you will not (which could lead him to go to the haram way because of your rejection)or you will ask for divorce. Please answer based on two suitations 1. Not having kids, 2. Having kids ?

[el7ilwa]

No, Sign language isn't a primary not even a sub-primary thing in Speech therapy, we're not obliged to learn it. It's an intervention we recommend to clients who need it, so let's say a deaf person was referred to a speech therapist, one suggestion could be is to learn sign language, consequently it's not us who teach the client's sign language but those who are experts in it.

I wish I was good at it, it takes years to learn it, it has it's own vocabulary/syntax/sentence structure....etc I've started learning basic core vocabulary for my own interest.



2. Lets assume you are married, and your husband get to know other women and fell in love with her for one reason or another (something out of his control). He decided to marry her in "halal" as per Islam, so he discussed the issue with you. What will be your reaction, keep in mind that he loves you and alos love the other women. Will you allow him to marry her, you will not (which could lead him to go to the haram way because of your rejection)or you will ask for divorce. Please answer based on two suitations 1. Not having kids, 2. Having kids ?

lol, I knew I'd get a question about this from IceTea :)

Ok I'll take your your question step by step.

Why and how did he get to love another woman while he's got a good wife at home?! If there is something wrong about me, then I accept criticizms with an open heart and could change accordingly, if not then (moving to the next step); I still can't digest the fact that a person can love two equally at the same time! and it's extremely difficult for a wife to utter the sentence "my dear husband, you could marry another woman"!

A crucial point, there is nothing called "he could commit adultery because of your rejection" is it me who's watching him or Allah? so I won't allow him nor anyone to say this no matter what, he's old enough to hold his own sins!

Ok back to having kids or not, divorce to me is the very very very last resort, it depends on his attitude towards me and my children!

Thanks el7ilwa,
We'll hopefully get to meet eachother sometime Inshallah :)

Because I'm Silent tunes ;). I also wonder why, I guess I lack the full commitment to Sabla, whereas she doesn't :(

Luckily I've got a ready answer typed almost 4 months ago for a Speech and language therapy meeting :D, I'll paste it here:

This particular question brings back to me some memory flashes of a tragedy that has befallen my brother almost nine years ago. An intelligent and charming young boy at that time, my brother suffered a serious head injury which lead to further complications in his speech abilities.

Ever since then, I made an important decision in life, and that is to dedicate the rest of my life in favor of those who are in need of a helping hand in order to be able to talk and express themselves just like everyone else.

I hope my accomplishments will meet the expectations of my fellow citizens back home who are eagerly waiting for improvements in the field of Speech and Language Therapy!

An addition to this, I was offered a Scholarship -Alhamdulilah- by the Government to study something else, but I changed it to Speech therapy, and luckily they were more than helpful!


I would like to know more about this kind of Therapy as I know lots of people who really needs it.

I posted bits and pieces about my major previously, if there are any additional inquiries u've got, please feel free to PM me. I don't mind talking about Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) for ages but I'm afraid the interview is turning into an SLT discussion :)

Q. You seem been travelling around? If you dont mind, sharing this with us; how did that take place? Holidays ....lived there ...etc??

Holidays, visiting relatives, treatment for my brother (check Ayah's question) and studying!

Q. Are you a sports person? What sports did you play / playing / wish to play?

Not at all, I used to play table tennis in school and go swimming in a females sports club -not anymore though-, is walking considered a sport? If yes then count walking!

Q. You said about your hobbies that you like reading, writing articles and poetry. What do you like to read? What type of articles do you write and which category of poetry are you in to?

I was motivated and encouraged to read by a cousin of mine, and then loved the experience and continued!
My reading/writing/poetry interests are all in Arabic!

I started off by reading Arabic novels, then moved to general books, but novels are still what I turn to every so often! I'm deteriorating in my readings :(, it takes me so much time to finish a book!

I mostly write articles with incidents that had an impact in my life!

I always go for poetry that have precious meanings and lessons in them (from love, to islamic poems to sound advice poems to...etc).
I also like old poets (Al Shaf3i, Ahmed Shawqi...etc) rather than new ones and prefer Classical Arabic rather than colloquial Arabic!

[IceTea]

ST,

Thanx for your answers, but you didn't answer my 2nd question properly, for a man to have a 2nd wife doesn't mean that there is some problem with his first wife. In other words reason is not a must, the must is to treat both in Justice and fair way.

So lets go back to the question, that your husband get tyo know this women, could be his intention was not to know her and have feelings for her, but sometimes things goes out of the human being control and as you know humans don't have control on their heart feelings. Now how would you handle the suitation when your husband being honest with you and tell you that he want to marry this women. Ofcourse you have the right to ask him what is wrong with me, am I not doing my duties as wife, etc. But he will tell you everything is ok with you, I still love you and still will be my wife, but I want to marry this women in halal. Waiting for your answer :)

[Sleyum]

That's makes sense.... Divorce should be the last resort not first like many crazy women would do... very promising replies S_T..

MY Question..
If a Husband talked to you and asked that he intended to get married even thus He loves you so much and you love him too.. but still you are not convinced and the answer remain NO to him..
But because he already set up his mind and ready to go for it and eventually he got married what will be your Stand then??.. Will you ask for Divorce... or will you give it a time to see how the situation develops??

[Shahrazad]

To IceTea and Sleyum's questions:

As I said previously, it's an extremely difficult task to ask a wife to accept another woman to come in between her and her husband's life!
If he happened to get married to another woman, I'd of course get deeply hurt (which could unintentionally change my attitude towards him. However it's my duty to be a good wife after all although I find it difficult to digest the fact that a man can love two at the same time (Allah has not made for any man two hearts in his (one) body) [33:4] ãÇ ÌÚá Çááå áÑÌá ãä ÞáÈíä Ýí ÌæÝå) !

I don't think divorce could be a solution unless his attitude/treatment has changed towards me or my children!

Hope my answer was clearer this time, and Inshallah I wouldn't have to deal with such cases in the future Inshallah -Amen-! :)

[IceTea]

ST, that was a wise answer and it's the way women should think to help their husbands to complete their mission. It's also not easy for a man to marry 2 women but his dedication to his society and care about other humans around him gives him the drive and strenght to move forward.


1. What do you think of "mahar" problem which we have in Oman, where most parents ask for high numbers ?

[X-press]

Mashallah Silent tunes, I am very impressed by your interview and the fast response it got in just one day!

I actually forgot that you were Arby's sister and thought you were her first cousin.

The profession you chose is indeed very unusual for Oman and I am sure demands a lots of patience.

My questions for today are:

1) Where are you currently studying Speech Therapy and how many years do you have left?

2) Do you know how much is the demand of such a specialization here in Oman? Meaning, are there a lots of cases of children or adults suffering from speech disorder in this country?

3) Are you planning to exercise your profession here or in Europe?

4) Did speech therapy, and you maybe already dealing with people with such a disorder, teach you something about yourself? Meaning, from your studies are you now seeing things differently and take this 'sense' less for granted?

Thanks ;)

[Najah]

Great Interview here ST :)
Nice to know u more. You have a very interesting one.. and subhan allla may alla bless you forever.
I have few questions:
1.Whos your model in life.
2.What does a great personality presents in ur dictionary and can you give us an example here in sabla?
3.do you love cooking! and if yess what type of food Do you like to cook. and whats your favorite dish!

High dowries are a huge problem in the society, something that needs to be solved.

Thanks xp :) and here are my replies:

1) Where are you currently studying Speech Therapy and how many years do you have left?
Abroad, and I've got 2 more years to go.

2) Do you know how much is the demand of such a specialization here in Oman? Meaning, are there a lots of cases of children or adults suffering from speech disorder in this country?
I'm pretty sure that it's of geat demand. The major thing is that we've got to enhance the public's (parents and schools) awareness of our role and what exactly do we do.
As far as I'm concerned, there are currently four SLT's in Oman and we're five on our way to graduate!
There are sadly alot of cases xp, not to mention the great numbers of traffic accident victims, stroke sufferes...etc

3) Are you planning to exercise your profession here or in Europe?
In my beloved country without any doubt!

4) Did speech therapy, and you maybe already dealing with people with such a disorder, teach you something about yourself? Meaning, from your studies are you now seeing things differently and take this 'sense' less for granted?
Sorry but I didn't really get your question, I'll answer according to what i understood and tell me if it's not exactly what you meant!

Of course, most importantly it taught me to say Alhamdulilah for every single thing! I used to see my brother at times and feel deeply hurt thinking it's the worst case anyone can get to, but not anymore, infact not at all!

I learnt how to be patient, positive, creative, caring, assertive...

Ameeen Jamee3an

1.Whos your model in life.
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
(I read a quote by a French philosopher saying that if the Prophet was alive now he would've solved the worlds' problems while having a sip of coffee!)

2.What does a great personality presents in ur dictionary and can you give us an example here in sabla?

A personality that clicks with all personalities and if not then knows exactly how to deal with others' personalities without casuing clashes -wonder if u got what I mean- ! The closest personality to what I see as great in sabla is Bimzoori!

3.do you love cooking! and if yess what type of food Do you like to cook. and whats your favorite dish!

I do love cooking, but I'm not in any sense an expert cooker yet :), I like all types of food (cooking vegetables are my favourite).

Based on your answer, what do you think women need to do in our society in order to contribute in solving the problem ?

The problem mainly comes from Fathers, more awareness about the consequences of such problems should be brought up in public for people to realise and solve them. Maybe through khu6bat eljum3a, or through media...etc

[X-press]

Thanks for answering all the questions Silent tunes and here are few more for today:

1) What do you consider a 'fun day' for you?

2) If you could tomorrow do the craziest thing, what would it be?

3) If you didn't learn speech therapy, in which other profession do you see yourself?

4) If tomorrow your husband-to-be was asking you to stop working and take care of the house and the kids, would you do it without hesitation?

5) Did you have any difficulties adapting yourself to the western environment where you live now?

Thanks :)

[Arabian Princess]

my dear sister ST .. I can see you are having a great interview over here ha :)

well, though I know almost everything about you (unless you hide something from me :rolleyes: ) but I will ask you few questions ..

1- You said the greatest gift is love .. what is love according to you? I mean what do you expect from the person who loves you to do?

2- If you are given one ticket to any destination in the world, where would it be?

[IceTea]

I don't agree with you that it's mainly because of fathers, I will say the parents, and the girl herself are all involved and infact girls are not less blamed in the issue of mahar. Because the parents most of the time support each other, so now the bride role should come into the picture to convince her parents that it's not an islmaic teaching to ask for high mahar. The groom in this can't do much about it, he want to marry this girl and make a family but he is faced with those kind of problems.

[Shahrazad]

1) What do you consider a 'fun day' for you?
When a sequence of unexpected events/outings occur in one day, where because your evening was so fun you can't remember what happened in the morning which was equally fun :)

2) If you could tomorrow do the craziest thing, what would it be?
I'll come back to this question later, I'm in a well-behaved mood just now and can't think of anything so crazy :D

3) If you didn't learn speech therapy, in which other profession do you see yourself?
I guess I would've gone for Architecture!

4) If tomorrow your husband-to-be was asking you to stop working and take care of the house and the kids, would you do it without hesitation?

If my husband is financially capable of taking care of the family then why not? It would somehow make me more comitted to my role as a mother and wife!
but I could still be doing volunteer speech therapy work in my free time, since I don't think it's fair having the full knowledge and ability to help who are in need and choosing to stay at home with my knowledge stuffed for myself, it sounds so ego!

5) Did you have any difficulties adapting yourself to the western environment where you live now?

Maybe in the first few weeks! but I soon got tuned to the place. I can't deny that there are few phases where I ask myself "wasn't I better off in my home country?", but it disappears quickly.
The place is lovely, the people are friendly, and I'm always surrounded with people of my own culture and lifestyle.

Love is a maze that you can't find the exit so easily, I expect a person who loves to simply stay with me in this maze forever!
(dear sister, there is no need to embarress me with such a question in public again :o :rolleyes: )

2- If you are given one ticket to any destination in the world, where would it be?

A region that has nature, modernisation and history in one block!

ok my question is how much are you into the Palestinian issue ?
Do you think it is something you should be aware off ? To what extent ?

I would say I'm moderate in this domain!
I do watch the news with the updates every so often but not so regularly. Watching the news with dead brothers and sisters around does make me feel so full of agony which can affect me negatively, and I do feel I'm underacting and I should do something, but what can I do apart from making du3aa :( ?

It is without any doubt a crucial duty as a Muslim to be aware of everything around us (I'm so bad at this, I need to read alot more). I do support martyrdom and I guess it's the way we're getting AlQuds back Inshallah, but I also feel that we need to purify our souls first, consequently ask for victory!

An interesting one ST... :)

You explained well about your major of study..... and you did talk about an incident in your life that gave you the courage to go into such field of studying....

@ Was this field the field you were looking after since you were a child??
You usually have this dream in childhood of becoming something special.... what was your dream ST ?

@ Are you into science?

I don't think I knew what Speech & Language Therapy was when I was a child :), I just remember being so interested in Doctors and used to play as doctors and patients with my sisters and cousins!

I didn't have Speech Therapy in mind not even when I was in Secondary School. When I graduated I wanted to specialize in anything that could help my brother, I was then encouraged strongly by my father to go into the world of Speech therapy.


@ Are you into science?

Not everything in science, but yes!
