A Hisham Moment - often abbreviated to HM - is best described as a divinely blissful feeling, achieved when a confluence of factors come together in a surprising and unintended manner to create enlightened ecstasy. Its origins date back to Hisham II, the third Ummayyad Caliph of Spain. Originally the caliph in 976, he was held hostage in 1009 and lost the throne. His Hisham Moment came when against all odds, he was reinstated as Caliph by Slavic troops of the Caliphate in 1010. Notable examples of Hisham Moments includes fathers on the Maury Povich show when they are told You Are Not the Father following a paternity test. Note: Hisham Moments are not to be confused with Miracles, which actually require Godly intervention
