  5. Swazi schools closed for weeding Swaziland's schoolboys are coming to the end of a fortnight spent weeding the king's fields, which led to the postponement of the new school term. Schools were supposed to reopen on Tuesday but King Mswati ordered that they stay closed for an extra week. The weeding of the 10 vast royal fields is due to come to an end on Friday, before the king makes a public speech. Some 30,000 children were affected by the order but not the king's children who are in private schools. Some parents complained about the short notice of the royal order, which was issued by the king the day before schools were supposed to reopen. Ellen Mavuso of Pigg's Peak, in northern Swaziland, complained that she had already taken her two daughters to school in the south of Swaziland, about 120 kilometres from home, only to be told of the order. She wondered how the weeding of royal fields was related to the opening of schools. King Mswati III is Africa's last absolute monarch. Earlier this month, he asked the government of the drought-hit country for $15m to build new palaces for his 11 wives. Kibir :rolleyes:

  8. What does Hajj mean? The essence of Hajj is, man's evolution toward Allah. It is a symbolic demonstration of the philosophy of Creation of Adam. To further illustrate this, it may be stated that the performance of Hajj is a simultaneous show of many things; it is a "show of creation", a "show of history", a "show of unity", a "show of the Islamic ideology" and a show of the Ummah. The following conditions prevail in this "show". Allah is the stage manager. The theme portrayed is the actions of the people involved. Adam, Ibrahim, Hajar, and Satan are the main characters. The scenes are Masjid-ul Haram, the Haram area, Masa, Arafat, Mashars and Mina. Important symbols to take note off in this show are the Kaaba, Safa, Marwa, day, night, sunshine, sunset, idols and ritual of sacrifice. The clothing and make up are Ihram, Halgh and Taqseer. Lastly, the player of the roles in this "show" is only one; and that is YOU! Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, young or old, black or white, you are the main feature of the performance. The role of Adam, Ibrahim and Hajar in the confrontation between "Allah and Satan" is played by you. As a result, you, individually, are the hero of the "show". Annually, Muslims from all over the world are encouraged to participate in this great "show" (Hajj). Everyone is considered equal. No discrimination on the basis of race, gender, or social status is made. In accordance to the teachings of Islam, "All are one and one is all". Hajj imbeds in us the Quranic concept "whosoever kills a human being other than (in punishment) for manslaughter or causing corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all humanity, and whoso saved the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all humanity." [5:32] As soon as the pilgrim enters the state of Ihram (the mental and physical readiness to begin the Hajj) any form of harm to human or animal life is forbidden. Yet the enemies of Islam continue to deliberately wage a campaign against Islam. They attack it by denying that Islam recognizes the human being as an individual endowed with special rights and values. If we limit the concept of Hajj to the status of merely a duty we have missed the show. As Ali Ibn Abi Talib said: If Islam is a lamb fur-coat, it is put on inside out. Living on a day to day basis, the person lacks direction. His aim is only to live. What exists is a dead spirit in a living body. However, the Hajj experience alters this unhealthy condition! Once you decide to perform Hajj and take the necessary steps, you are on the road to the actualization of Hajj. Before going to Hajj you reside in your home calm and reposed. Upon entering the state of mind for Hajj, you arise and move away from your routine environment. Hajj is the antithesis of aimlessness. It is the rebellion against a damned fate guided by evil forces. The fulfillment of Hajj will enable you to escape from the complex network of puzzles. This revolutionary act will reveal to you the clear horizon and free way to migration to eternity toward the Almighty Allah.

You know the notion of light skin girls being prettier plays a big part. Those girls who do/are using this need help.
  15. Its just another small part in moulding the minds of galos to have negative ideas of Islam and at the same time portray Europeans to be superior in mind. All these sorts of literature have some sort of influence upon ppl, therefore thats why these sort of comments/opinions are shared and promoted to so called 'educated' ppl. These educated ppl will then use this 'new knowledge' and forward it on as best they can. Search yr library catalog for islam and see what comes up. :rolleyes:

  21. Referencing and Bibliographies Harvard System etc,,,,,,, First Principles Accurate consistent referencing is very important in all acadmic work. Whenever you refer to either the work or ideas of someone, or are influenced by another's work, you must acknowledge this. Similarly, if you make a direct quotation from someone’s work, this should be referred to accurately. You will need to acknowledge your source in two places in the main body of your text in the bibliography (list of references) at the end of your piece of work You are strongly advised to develop the habit of keeping detailed records of the sources you use in your research, and to do this at the time that you use them. return to top Citing References Referring to someone else's work in your own work is known as "citing" that work. How to cite (making a link to a reference in your bibliography) is described below. When you refer to someone else’s work or ideas in the body of your own piece of work, this can be acknowledged by quoting the author's last name (family name) and date of the work in brackets, in your text: e.g. In a recent study (Gibbs 1992), it is argued... This leads the reader to the bibliography where the full reference appears; and this is located at the end of your work. If the author's name occurs naturally in the sentence, the year only is given in brackets: e.g. Gibbs (1992) believes students are active... Page numbers should be included for direct quotations or reference to a particular part of an item: e.g. Gibbs (1992, p11) states that "students are active..." For two authors, the names of both should be given: e.g. Rainer and Reiman (1989) take a different view... In the case of more than two authors, the first author only should be given followed by et al. e.g. Collinson et al. (1992) return to top Bibliography Your bibliography should contain a full and accurate reference of each item from which you have quoted or to which you have referred in the body of your text, as well as any other works used in your research. These references should give sufficient information for anyone to be able to trace easily the material you have used. According to the Harvard Method, references are arranged in one alphabetical sequence by name of author, followed by date of pulication. If there is no author, the item should be listed by title. Here is an example of how to produce your bibliography. ADAMSON, Arthur (1990). A student's guide for assignments, projects and research. 4th ed., Thameson. DIXON, David R. (1999).

Below is a list of how to reference a range of commonly used types of material return to top Books The main elements you need are: author, year, title, publisher. You will usually find all this information on the book’s title page and back of the title page. The reference should be as follows: ADAMSON, Arthur (1990). A student's guide for assignments, projects and research. 4th ed., Thameson. Include the edition, other than for first editions. If you prefer to include place of publication, this should come immediately before the publisher. For multiple authors, reference all of them up to a maximum of three. If there are more than three, you can use et al. after the first author's name. If a book has an editor, indicate this by putting (ed.) or (eds) after the name(s). To quote a chapter in an edited book: BUSCOMBE, Edward (1981). Ideas of authorship. In: CAUGHIE, John (ed). Theories of authorship: a reader. Routledge & Kegan Paul in association with the British Film Institute, 22-34. You should always reference the version of an item that you actually used. For example, the chapter by BUSCOMBE has also appeared as a journal article, but the reference should be to the version you used. return to top Journal Articles To reference a journal article, include: author, date, title of article, journal title (in full), volume number, issue number and page numbers. The reference should be as follows: McKINNON, Alan C. and WOODBURN, Alan. (1994). The consolidation of retail deliveries: its effect on CO2 emissions. Transport policy 1(2), 125-36 This information can be obtained from the cover and first pages of the journal, but will not necessarily appear on the pages inside the journal (and therefore not on a photocopy you may make of an article). When you write your bibliography you need to make sure you reference the full title. If you only know the abbreviated form of the journal title, the journal abbreviations page will help you find the full titles. return to top Theses Provide: author, date, title of thesis, degree statement, degree awarding body. e.g.: LOWE, A.

  23. A poem,,,,,,,,,(email), thought it was interesting to share I am a Muslim, but only by name When it comes to practising, what a shame! I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie It's alright if I occasionally lie Yes I practise, BUT when it suits me Or more to the point, when it pleases society. If I show my ankles, they'll point and laugh They'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft. If I trim my moustache and grow the beard They'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird. If I wear the sunnah I'll get great reward But the Kuffaar will look down on me, that I can't afford. Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name I make excuses which I admit are rather lame. Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right track Who am I kidding, I feel like a right jack! To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportant Though my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulent The best thing is no-one can hear what's going on inside People think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied. But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deception I have no peace of mind but this I daren't even mention. If I remain ignorant it's OK, 'cos then I don't have to practise Yes I'm conniving and these are baseless evil tactics. But I read the Kalima and I think I have Imaan I can't help my attitude - I was placed in a Kufrstaan. Yes I'm a Muslim but only by name And with my precious life I'm playing a foolish disastrous game! I HOPE ALL YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS WILL PRACTICE ISLAM IN TRUE FAITH... INSHALLAH.
