^^The point is, Sunnis controlling Iraq. They are in the middle of trying to find a way for this to happen hence why alot of parties left parliament recently. There is alot going on and this only increases the friction,,,,

I used to hear an old tired joke about Northerners & their unfreindliness with the masjid. I would hear something like..War masaajid magalinee,laakin waan agmaray. Istaqfurulahil Cadiim. Btw,Ramadan Kareem to all Muslims & specificaly to My SOL brothers & sisters. That old stereotype is exclusive of Burcaawis saxib Ramadan Kariim duqa! Sharmaake, it is indeed a beautiful nasheed.

Old? What does that have to do with anything? I just have a very good memory of my toddler years Al Huda is small and doesnt look like a mosque but its opposite the bariis iyo hilib one-stop-eatery

^^I've never been in that mosque Faith will get us through, say new Muslims By Alia Al Theeb, Staff Reporter Published: September 13, 2007, 23:35 Dubai: New Muslims who started fasting for the first time in their lives, said it is difficult, but their faith in God and patience will help them get through it. Gulf News met a number of new Muslims, some of whom embraced Islam on the first day of Ramadan. A Chinese family of three, mother, father and daughter who embraced Islam two months ago, said Ramadan is an experience although it has been difficult since it is the first time they have abstained from food and drink. The 26-year-old daughter who chose Fatima as her name, told Gulf News through a translator, that she was feeling thirsty throughout the day and did not eat enough at suhoor because she is not used to eating at dawn. Patience Asma, the mother, said she was urging her daughter to eat enough food at dawn because she would not eat the entire day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "However, I intended to fast and prayed to God to help us and give us the patience to fast," she said. The family has been learning about Islam for the past two months and is set to go to Haj [pilgrimage] after one week. Although the family does not speak Arabic or English, they have been learning about Islam and Ramadan by reading booklets and attending lectures in Chinese. Asma said she embraced Islam because she found it to be a clear religion which did not exploit people's feelings or money. She said in China, she did not have any religion because most religious practices were based on exploiting people's feelings and their money. "When I came here to work, I attended some religious lectures out of curiosity and read some books and realised that I have one God and I need to be a Muslim," she said. Asma said she consulted with her husband Mousa and daughter Fatima who also started attending lectures and were convinced that they want to embrace Islam. Fatima said she is interested in learning Arabic which will make it easier for her to read the Quran. For Amir, a Filipino who embraced Islam yesterday on the first day of Ramadan, the kindness and helpfulness of his Muslim colleagues was a reason behind him embracing Islam. Amir has lived in the UAE for 18 years and worked as a vehicle technical engineer at Dubai Police where he observed Islamic teachings and practices and learned more about the religion from his colleagues. After he pronounced his Islam at the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department yesterday, Amir was congratulated by a police sergeant who had brought him to the New Muslims Division when Amir told him he wanted to embrace Islam. "Since I got up this morning, I have been fasting and hope to continue the entire month. When I was not a Muslim, I used to fast, but most of the times I broke the fast before completing the full month," Amir said. He said he is very happy that he embraced Islam on the first day of the month of Ramadan. http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/Society/10153537.html

^^Which mosque is that then?

Arabs dont use 'zz' to make the 'dha' sound (not the same sound as the Somali 'dha'). Asian have difficulty pronouncing 'dha' so use 'zz' instead.

Trying to spot a brother in Jumca prayer at Masjidal Xaram, Makka,,,, Dahia, with all 'zz' in the words I bet the email was by an Asian. Azaan = Athaan Muazzib = Mua'th'in The 'athaan' starts as far east as Fiji, Tonga, Tahiti etc Islam in Fiji

Rudy, what fasting stuff? Ramadan Kariim to the boys and girls down-under :cool: What are people's ramadan timings? Ie What time is fajar and what time is maqrib? For me at the moment its 4.45am to 6.25pm,,,

Good observation. I'm surprised at the attention given to the Asmara Conference. We all the conference in Xamar was pushed through for PR purposes more than anything else. This one in Asmara seam a bit more 'solid' for want of a better word. Lets hope they play their cards right.

The plot thickens,,,,,,,

Wow, big deal!!

^^What you have to remember is the Sunni 'alliance' who are pushing the US to instill a sunni player to counter the shiah threat. We shall see how it turns out,,,,

have plenty of fruit and water. 2mrw will be easier.

Why not eat just before prayer? Easy,,,

They are preparing to shoot the cannons in Sharjah for people to break their fast. An old tradition.

^^Or Timir with rice/pasta Originally posted by NGONGE: ^^ Read an article about the history of xalwa here. halva, halwa, xalwa.. Halva sounds hebrew. Must stop by the xalwa shop tonight,,,,
