I took a flight, it was from Canada, Toronto to London.

My second flight was from London to Amman.

So I was really tired.

So I go up to the counter and I'm like, "How is the plane?" She's like, "Actually, it's a very empty plane." I'm like, "Can I change seats?" Leg room, you know, so I'm comfortable.

and I remember the seat number bro it was like 12A

so I'm in C12A and she's like how about this there's the emergency row and the window seat is available.

The seat next to you is empty, and then the one next to that, there's someone sitting there.

No problem, enough legroom.

I'm like, "Do it." I remember again.

She switched me from 12 :8 to 27 and get on the flight and I sit down, there's this wonderful gentleman, very nice guy,

and he's extroverted, so he's talking to me.

And one thing leads to another.

He's like, "Where are you from?" I'm like, "Palestine, where are you from?" He's like, "Palestine." He's like, "Where in Palestine?" I'm like, "Ghaza." I'm like, "Where are you from?" He's like, "Ghaza." Subhanallah.

I'm like, "Where did you grow up the first part of your life?" He's like, "Kuwait." I'm like, "Me too.

Did you leave at the Gulf War?" He said, "Yes, like me too." And then I'm like, "What did you study?" He's like, "Electrical Engineering." I'm like, "Get out of here, man.

Come on." I studied electrical engineering.

It's too much, man.

There were so many similarities.

Anything.

Anyways, I ended up getting some rest and he got some rest.

We get off the plane.

and he asked me, "What do you do?" I said, "Content creator," but I didn't give him too many details.

The passport control was packed, and it was gonna take us at least half an hour before they were gonna check my passports, and he was standing right behind me in line,

and we were also having a conversation.

The two people in front of me They're talking to each other and they have their phone open.

And then they go, excuse me.

"Are you Osama?" and they're pointing at one of my TikTok videos or Instagram videos.

And I'm like, "Yeah." They're like, "No way, man.

This is so weird." I'm like, "What?" They're like, "We spent the entire night binging on your content and watching your content." Anyways, can I take a picture?

You know, typically fans sometimes after passport control.

I said, "Sure." So Mu'taz, who was with me, and I can say his name, but I won't say his family name, he became curious.

He's like, "Now I need to know who you are.

Can I get your Instagram handle?"

He looks me up and that led to us talking a little bit about Dean in the line.

as we were waiting for passport control.

And I felt like he really needed to hear some of maybe what I had to say.

But he's a great guy.

He seemed like a guy with such a pure heart.

We get to passport control.

It's over.

We go to get our bags.

We grab our bags on our way out.

You know

that last section before you leave where there's like they check your luggage right before some guy comes to us

and he's like, Where are you coming from?

Like Canada.

He's like, "Right this way to both of us because we're walking together." He checks our bags.

He's a very nice guy.

We go through the, you know, security process.

Then he goes, "Thank you very much.

Have a nice day." He hands me over my passport.

And then I'm like, okay, Mootaz, here's my number, stay in touch.

"Salaamu 'alaykum, salaamu 'alaykum," and I leave.

And you're out there having that wedding party, right?

Or whatever it is, it was beautiful, by the way.

You received, I had a like grand reception by you, Jazakallah khair.

But then after you drop me off to the hotel, I get a message from Montez.

You know what the message read?

He goes, "You have my passport and I have yours." the guy at the security swapped passports by mistake.

And I'm sitting there thinking, "Ya Allah!

He goes, "And is your father yet?" And is your mother Nailah?

I'm like yes.

He goes Allah, he says I

when I got to my mom I told her the story

and she recognized the name and then she asked me

and I checked your passport and it said your mother's name was Nailah and your father's name was Iyad.

I So, and she went to school and taught at the same school as your mother did in Kuwait in Faheem.

I'm like, no way man, SubhanAllah.

What's Allah getting at?

Think about it from the beginning changing my seat talking to the guy the two

that were in the line Him knowing that I'm a social media like info

or content creator one thing the swap of the passports and All of that can't be a coincidence.

Deep inside me, I felt like the story is not over.

We ended up meeting, swapping passports and talking a little bit about Dean and other things.

But I think it's going to lead to the chapter is not over.

The whole story is not over.

But these things, there are no coincidence, man.

Everything happens whether it's here or shop whether it's here

or shutter But the thing is with here

and show you have to be careful the book of destiny

one of them in the Quran is referred to as umul kitab the mother of books.

A mother typically gives birth to what? To children.

So it's like every situation you face in life, you have a decision usually not all of them

but many of them you have to decide maybe to do good

or do bad it's as if every decision you make

opens up a new book of destiny based on the choice you made.

It's like Allah Subh 'anaHu Wa Ta -A 'la wrote all the scenarios.

He said, "Oh, if you choose this way, this will happen.

If you choose that way, that will happen." The Sahaba used to say, "Kunna naraa athara dunubina fee khuluqi azwajina wa su 'i dawaabina"

That we used to see the effect of our sins in our conduct, the way our wives would deal with us,

and the way our animals would act up.

Because they didn't have, you know, cars to run there, and they had animals to deal with.

So they were very conscious of that.

So if you want to fix your life, if you make the right decisions, perhaps you'd open the right books.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
