So is it all a dream, the Cobb (leonardo)is dreaming?

Last Ramadan, I trained well at nights and my strength increased - I was at my peak, alhamdulillah.Only thing is the last 10 days threw things off, for my training. Ramadan is for less sleep and more ibadah over all.

Hey, Can we do a list of top 5 places not to take your wife?

Definition of the term Hypocrite/Munafiq: 1. The one that covers their kufr and conceals it, so he was likened to the one who enters a “nafaq,” tunnel, and hides in it. 2. The one that does the action of “naafaqa” like a jerboa (a type of burrowing rodent), because he exits iman from a way different than the one through which he entered it. 3. The one that due to his exhibiting other than that which is concealed, likening him to the jerboa (because its burrow is a solid dirt structure on the outside but hollow on the inside), for similarly, the hypocrites exterior is iman and his interior is kufr. A muslim that might have been have been observant of some of the tenants of the faith before ramadan but chose to follow those tenants/parts of the faith, during ramadan and stays away from the haram acts e.g. drinking, womanizing etc., - do they fall under the above definitions?

You are no mutakalim saxib, thats for sure! At least he argues his absurdity till ad nauseum. You on the other hand, doubt even what you right.

It is an insult to call the blessed month of ramadan, a month of hypocrsy. Just because people still have an allegiance to islam and become more observant of the deen during ramadan does not make them hypocrites. It actually makes them muslimeen (submitters to the Allah).

The opposite of doubt is certainty and certainty only comes with TRUTH. But how could you tell it is so if you don’t have any doubt? Surely you need one to get to the other. Your argument is: If X doubts, then X is Intelligent. Therefor, doubting is a sign of Intelligence. You argument is flawed because it does not take into account: - Whom X is? (A Medical Doctor is not the same as a street cleaner) - The Subject matter (Doubting that the jar is not full of salt but sugar) - Equates Doubt with Intelligence (If that is the case, then the schizophreniacs out there are the most Intelligent people in the world? Are you one of them saxib? "The final kind of doubt is when you doubt yourself " From the islamic perspective, tafakur (pondering, thinking) is encourage. Doubting is not and proclaiming doubt in public can be considered kufr. Why? Because it corrupts the minds of others and the jammah/islamic society. It creats an atmopshere of fusuuq. It permits rejection in the open. The Shariah is against anything that leads to fusuuq/corruption and the liberal idea that All must come out in the Open is contrary to that because it leaves the gates open to waswasas/doubts and is a slippery slope. Now I will be the first to admit that what I wrote above could have been done much better and included many examples. But, I have a confession to make.......I doubted it was worth the effort. You are just lazy, thats all.

I don't think that I have slept right since I watched this movie. The idea of planting a seed of doubt through someone's dream is pure evil. It is mind control, it is demonic. Having a dream within a dream? - I have experienced such dreams, albeit rare. Has anyone experienced them? The concept of time slowing down in a dream is amazing. It is a good movie. Is it better then Nolan's other flick - Dark Knight? The lines where much more memorable in Dark Knight and the idea of turning the Best to the Works (hence the title Dark Knight) was amazing and realistic. I have seen Dark Knight almost 5 times or more now, so I am a bit biased.

The doors of personal Ijtihad are wide open. And everything ought to be on the table, everything is up for grabs - from views on Godhood and prophethood to the implementation of Shariah and the historicity of orthodox narratives. If that is the case, then is it ok to discuss about your lineage? Whether you were born out of wedlock or not? Whether you are Somali or Ethiopian or Sudanese? After all, everything ought to be on the table, everything is up for grabs After all, if what some hold as dear and sacred is to be given the green light for discussion and rejection then too, should a green light be given to discuss about You and where you are currently at and who you were with last night etc.? Get the picture......

Why does abdi nur look like an Alien in the picture? Is he on the green stuff? Hey,I would sue this paper for defamation and racism. Just because they are somali doesn't mean they can't live in a good neighbourhood.

France's lower house of parliament has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would ban wearing the Islamic full veil in public. There were 335 votes for the bill and only one against in the National Assembly. It must now be ratified by the Senate in September to become law. The ban has strong public support but critics point out that only a tiny minority of French Muslims wear the full veil. Many of the opposition Socialists, who originally wanted the ban limited only to public buildings, abstained from voting after coming under pressure from feminist supporters of the bill. President Nicolas Sarkozy has backed the ban as part of a wider debate on French identity but critics say the government is pandering to far-right voters. The vote is being closely watched in other countries, the BBC's Christian Fraser reports from the French capital Paris. Spain and Belgium are debating similar legislation, and with such large-scale immigration in the past 20 or 30 years, identity has become a popular theme across Europe, our correspondent says. 'Open-faced democracy' The bill would make it illegal to wear garments such as the niqab or burka, which incorporate a full-face veil, anywhere in public. It envisages fines of 150 euros (£119) for women who break the law and 30,000 euros and a one-year jail term for men who force their wives to wear the burka. The niqab and burka are widely seen in France as threats to women's rights and the secular nature of the state. Parliament passed a resolution in May describing the wearing of the full veil as an "attack on dignity and equality between men and women", and "contrary to the values of the [French] Republic". "Democracy thrives when it is open-faced," Justice Minister Michele Alliot-Marie told the National Assembly when she presented the bill last week. She stressed the bill, which makes no reference to Islam or veils, was not aimed at "stigmatising or singling out a religion". Berengere Poletti, an MP from Mr Sarkozy's centre-right UMP party, said women in full veils wore "a sign of alienation on their faces" and had to be "liberated". Andre Gerin of the Communist opposition compared the veil to "a walking coffin, a muzzle". 'Fear of foreigners' The bill is also seen as a touchstone for the Sarkozy administration's policy of integration. It is grappling with disaffected immigrant communities as it seeks to prevent a repeat of the mass unrest of 2005 on run-down French housing estates. But critics point to government studies showing that many women do not fit the stereotype of marginalised, oppressed women. There are estimated to be only about 2,000 women wearing the full veil in France though the bill is opposed by many of France's five million Muslims. Jean Glavany, a Socialist MP, said he opposed the ban on the grounds that it was "nothing more than the fear of those who are different, who come from abroad, who aren't like us, who don't share our values". If the bill passes the Senate in September, it will be sent immediately to France's Constitutional Council watchdog for a ruling. Another challenge is possible at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, where decisions are binding. In another development, a French businessman, Rachid Nekkaz, said he would set up a 1m-euro fund to help women pay fines imposed under the new law. A ban in the street would violate constitutional principles, he argued. Source

Are there any studies to show that your femininty is determined by how long the phone is attached to your ears or your fingers to the keyboard on your phone? If there is no such study, I would like to submit it as my thesis for my PH.D.

Distant loverssssss, distant loversssss - oh the romance when they are across the ocean. The emails you wait for all day, the love letters you wait for by the mail, the phone that you wait for all night long. The romance of distant love, the pain and sorrow fertilizes the field of love. Keep it as it is for often reality disappoints.

Shaykh Jihad H. Brown • 05 June 2010 • The National, Abu Dhabi Look, my being a Muslim is not in order to satisfy some deep-seated itch to chop people’s heads off. In fact, what originally attracted me to Islam was what I perceived in it as a vehicle to securing human rights. At least that’s what I understood from my first Muslim influence,Malcolm X. This is how he saw it, this is what he put in his open letter to the American people from the Hajj, and this is how I see it to this day. But it is the spiritual dimension of Islam that enables it to be that universal system to secure and defend human well-being. This is what touches the heart of an activist and inspires her or him. It is the spiritual coupled with a framework for right and wrong that steels her resolve, no matter what end of the Earth she comes from. It talks to her soul and asks her about courage. But at the very same time, Islam is meant to be free of ideology; it is about truth, soul, and balance. When people get an opportunity to encounter an Islam that is ideology-free, it tends to strike a chord. After all, everyone has a soul; and balance is symmetry, and symmetry is the essence of beauty: we all find ourselves drawn to the beautiful. But it’s when Islam is “ideologised” – used for political gain – that it turns to extremes, as any religion does. Extremes of violence and intolerance can be found in the Christianity of Northern Ireland or the Inquisition, or the messianism of Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army, or the Zionist fringe of Judaism. Leaving Islam, however, is also seriously frowned upon; but so is the invasion of privacy. Gossip and neighbourhood espionage was soundly reproached by the Prophet. Allow me to think well of my neighbours, as we are taught. Peoples’ private convictions are none of my business, nor should they be fodder for the One Hour News Hour. One can’t help but shudder to think of the dangerous outcomes of Western hyper-tech governments that would insist on conditioning their populace to accept privacy as an endangered species. You, too, can become a reality television star in all the wrong ways. But the infamously “dire” apostasy policies of Islam are exclusively governed by the “rule of law” and remain the sole purview of the state. They are none of our business as citizens. The source literature is explicit that they apply to prisoners of war who have denounced the religion and joined an armed force intent on visiting suffering and destruction on the Muslim community. Not the standard breakfast table fare for most of us. At the heart of this prohibition and penalty is a deterrence for anyone who would be crude enough to politicise their conversion out of Islam. The politicisation of faith is never an act of conscience; it is a shameless utilitarian ploy to manipulate hearts and minds for opportunistic or otherwise political advantage. Just as using religion for ideological gain is wrong and dangerous (because it toys with things dearest to peoples’ hearts), so, too, is the politicisation of conversion out of Islam. It’s just dirty, and simply base. It’s informed by the same motivation of the extremists. And it belies an inability of the person to commit themselves to the neutrality of the secularism that they claim. Source What do some the nomads think of his speech? Do you agree? Is leaving Islam a Personal thing?

Are the English cheerleaders on here happy today or what? There skewering by the English media has been delayed for another day.

Yeah that is sad for Ghana. They really don't get respect. Can we claim Argentina as part of Pan-Africa?
