^^Maybe you do but just havnt realised it yet.

For once I agree with the man above^^^ Exploitation is not the way forward. A small number of people controlling things is not the way. Heeshiis followed by representation, strategies on how the money will be spent, apportioments of money etc.

^^You had your 8 years saxib. Time to step aside for the 'real' kings of English football. Not Man Utd, not Chelski but the MIGHTY MIGHTY REDS of Anfield. ps Liverpool will now concede 3 goals less next season pps where is the football anorak - the Viking man?

^^No problem akhi. I was a bit of a poet myself. Let me come back with a few lines,,,,,,

Allah yarxamhum Very sad affairs indeed. Allahayo masaakiinta u-sahal. Amiin

Humbling One's Self in Prayer By Harun Yahya Prayer is very important since it is the visible expression of the person being a Muslim. However, the Qur'an expresses disapproval of such prayer as is offered without sincerity: [Woe to the praying ones, who are unmindful of their prayers; who would be seen (at worship).] (Al-Ma`un 107:4-6) That means that what makes our regular prayers proper is not the actual movements, for example, bowing, prostrating oneself, etc., but their aim and the kind of thought given to them. Some people pray just to show others that they are "Muslims," but instead of gaining ground with Allah, they are committing a great transgression. What gives our prayers rectitude is our consciousness that we are prostrating ourselves before Allah only in order to express our devotion to Him. That is why Allah commands believers to [stand before Allah with devotion] (Al-Baqarah 2:238). Another verse describes the believers as those [who offer their prayers with all solemnity and submissiveness] (Al-Mu'minun 23:2). Solemnity in this verse means experiencing fear accompanied by deep respect and having one's heart filled with awe. Such a prayer increases one's faith and closeness to Allah. It keeps man standing firm. In another verse regular prayers are described: [Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to you, and establish regular prayer: for prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that you do.] (Al-`Ankabut 29:45)

and you think you had it bad,,,,,, THE POEMS Humiliated In The Shackles By Sami al Hajj When I heard pigeons cooing in the trees, Hot tears covered my face. When the lark chirped, my thoughts composed A message for my son. Mohammad, I am afflicted. In my despair, I have no one but Allah for comfort. The oppressors are playing with me, As they move freely around the world. They ask me to spy on my countrymen, Claiming it would be a good deed. They offer me money and land, And freedom to go where I please. Their temptations seize My attention like lightning in the sky. But their gift is an empty snake, Carrying hypocrisy in its mouth like venom, They have monuments to liberty And freedom of opinion, which is well and good. But I explained to them that Architecture is not justice. America, you ride on the backs of orphans, And terrorize them daily. Bush, beware. The world recognizes an arrogant liar. To Allah I direct my grievance and my tears. I am homesick and oppressed. Mohammad, do not forget me. Support the cause of your father, a God-fearing man. I was humiliated in the shackles. How can I now compose verses? How can I now write? After the shackles and the nights and the suffering and the tears, How can I write poetry? My soul is like a roiling sea, stirred by anguish, Violent with passion. I am a captive, but the crimes are my captors'. I am overwhelmed with apprehension. Lord, unite me with my son Mohammad. Lord, grant success to the righteous. Death Poem By Jumah al Dossari Take my blood. Take my death shroud and The remnants of my body. Take photographs of my corpse at the grave, lonely. Send them to the world, To the judges and To the people of conscience, Send them to the principled men and the fair-minded. And let them bear the guilty burden, before the world, Of this innocent soul. Let them bear the burden, before their children and before history, Of this wasted, sinless soul, Of this soul which has suffered at the hands of the "protectors of peace". Is It True? By Osama Abu Kadir Is it true that the grass grows again after rain? Is it true that the flowers will rise up again in the Spring? Is it true that birds will migrate home again? Is it true that the salmon swim back up their streams? It is true. This is true. These are all miracles. But is it true that one day we'll leave Guantanamo Bay? Is it true that one day we'll go back to our homes? I sail in my dreams. I am dreaming of home. To be with my children, each one part of me; To be with my wife and the ones that I love; To be with my parents, my world's tenderest hearts. I dream to be home, to be free from this cage. But do you hear me, oh Judge, do you hear me at all? We are innocent, here, we've committed no crime. Set me free, set us free, if anywhere still Justice and compassion remain in this world! Source

Time to start digging dulkaayi me thinks But who is Pecten? Agip I think is French then you have a host of others under Conoco's blocks. Who are they tolow?

I'm a very busy man saxib. Although i'm with DIB many of the terms just go over my head. I understand differences between 'Ijaara' and 'Murabaha' etc but not every other service they provide.

Monday blues miya? You should have done something useful over the weekend instead of sitting around....

^^Stop hijacking the thread and tell us about your recent adventure. I hear you ran from the goats

^^I see you are famaliar with IB terms. I'm just beginning to differentiate between them. Previous SOL discussion on Islamic Finance/Banking

Drink Red Bull

^^Aid is pouring in now and early elections have been called. Is this aid tied to how people vote again? They are hoping people see the aid as a benefit of voting for Fatah. ps Abbas was talking about a coup the other day. How could a govnt (Hamas) try a coup?

Implying I is old? Your only as old as you feel they say...

Can we celebrate this day without politicizing this thread? I second that! There is some sort of celebration in Sharjah on Friday 29th (not 26th or 1st ).

I have nothing against it per say. Rather i have something against the 'reconciliators'. Warlords maanta kalaheeshiis kujira lama rumeesankaro
