though I hate to admitt, Seatle is beautifull! I've been there this summer,and it was my first time, breathtaking :cool: Now dont get the facts confused: the city itself,gorgeous! The small shettle-looking houses, not so exotic. The people( i mean the maryooley) Hell NO!!!! Seriously wasup with them? you might think dat beautiful weather would encourage them to do something more than flock arround the most qaxooti looking maqaayad :eek: i have ever seen,but nooo. enough said, i've broken my fasting over them people again, darn it :mad: ------------------------------------------------- The battle to be the best has just begun

so you were after grand praises, and good job bro?? just what i suspected! focusing on the only wrong term in my whole speach. this surprisingly coming from someone like you. and aint you little late on da suggestions? I'll be a good sport about this whole thing in da spirit of Ramadan,so all is forgiven.

Quruxley, sweety i agree with you completely, and amnot saying they are in this mess cuz they dont know pre-marital sex is haraam,duh! but i'm sick and tired of only girls getting da blame and all da blah blah of wadaads and alike. what about the boys? dont we have to hold them responsible too. and hon, you maybe one strong sis who has her s** together,and am proud that you are cuz God knows we need more responsible young women. but be careful of the generalization you draw from your own personal experience. most people are week-minded therefore, susceptible to be influenced by just anybody(Hint: the definition of low self-esteem). so be gentle with them. dont give them another reason to justify what they're doing.

Subxanallah!! Sky,walaalo only Allah can forgive you for your ignorant comments. your intentions were good but it is your choice of words that pulled the triger. with that said, walaalo people are human and they are prone to committ horrible sins that is the will of God. like Allah said ' if you werenot committing sins and asking forgiveness, i would've replaced you with ones who would'. so repenting is in order. now i know that probably hundreds will jump on this topic cuz everyone has their own way of looking at things. it always shocks me how our people are so judgemental of other people. yes, what these girls are doing to themselves, thier religion and to therir people's dignity are horrifying but in reality shaming those who sin or assigning them the blame isnt the answer. let's dig deeper, and see where the smell is coming from. Hint: what are the circumstances of our girls, what is their mentality and reality, who are their role models, do they even have one. where are thier mothers with them, who they dine with socially??? and let's not neglect our boys to whom casual sex is the norm. wabilaahi towfiq.

praise the lord! girls amI glad dat we are discussing a healthy options for our body rather than starving ourselves,yeahhhhhh!!!! anyhoo foxy macaanto, thanks for bringing this up cuz you reminded me of my own troubles brewing cuz da Holly Ramadan has just started, and like you said greesy food is flooding everywhere. so ladies how do you keep in shape? How do you manage work, school, and ramadan(note: am only talking to the single ladies. to all the wifey's and mommys outthere God bless you!! i wont even dare ask how you juggle all da work) let me tell ya some'ng when i eat afur i'm knocked down, i can't lift a finger if my life depends on it. with that all said, i have recently committed to 4days work out,hard and restrict cuz my bad habit of eating has just cought up with me. Those yummyy lovely curves dat i used to be sooo.. proud of became my new sworn enemy :mad: , so i had to hit da gym. anyhoo, but right now am falling off track once more. and i dont know what to do. so ladies help!!

Quote -------------------------------------------- while Islam itself is very forbearing of other faiths and its adherents, tolerance is behavior unbecoming of a muslim nowadays. When did we fall off the tracks? --------------------------------------------- Whooh! Castro dat "we" saved my soul from a lot of anguish,for a second there, when you invoked the 5th amendment, i thought you fell off the wagaon Anywhoo, I think any Muslim who read the Satanic verses is liable to experience a total break-down. Salman Rushdi----- aah, the sucker has torn my heart into peices when he described the lovely Caisha, as a prostitue. now let's go back to what is important. Muslims need to ask the golden question: does Islam need to be reformed? depends on who you asking, on what intentions, and the very meaning of reformation. yeah we need to adujust to the 21century lifestyle, but that doesnt mean we have to compromise our very own existence, which is our faith. Islam is built upon the very idea that the texts are sacred. everything is crystal clear and the righ path is easy to fallow if you willing to look. Islam is complete, so it is very difficult to justify the re-touching on something that is beleived to be perfectly complete. and as far as Rushdi and his alikes go, wisemen have stopped listening to them, all the fools keep getting tricked by his beautifully crafted but empty concerns for the welfare of Islam and Muslims. --------------------------------------- the battle to be the best has just began
