    Le Grand Voyage

    *chuckles*^ Thankfully I decided to watch it before reading the replies. The movie was beautiful, truly. One of the best I have seen since The Fall. There was another thread here recently where some members posted links of movies similar to this one, but I can't remember its title. Does anyone know? Adnaan thanks for the movie.

    EID MUBARAK

    I missed this corner of the internet. Eid mubarak my dears, I wish you all a blessed day that's filled with joy and lots of delicious meat. Salams
  3. Almost everyone knows Sept 11th wasn't masterminded by muslims. If you wanna know why it happened then watch THE ARRIVALS. I'm not gonna let go of that series until everyone here watches it. And more importantly, why it happened on that particular date. Also, why in America do people dial '911' for help? I'd encourage anyone who starts watching that finish the whole thing, don't be put off by the slow start, even if it seems completely irrelevant. The Arrivals..
  4. This is a joke i found on the same site: Suicide pact: there was an english man, irish man and a scottish man working on a building site. everyday at lunch time they sat down to eat their sandwhiches. and everyday the irish man had cheese sandwiches, everyday the scottish had tuna sandwishes and everyday the english guy had jam. they were all sick of having the same bloody sandwiches everyday. one day they made a pact. 'if we have the same sandwiches one more time this week then i'm going to jump off this building site' swore the irish fellow. 'here here' said mr scottish, and so they all agreed :same sandwiches, we're jumping off. the next day at 12 pm they took out their lunchboxes. each one of them nervously opened out the wrapping and each one discoevrd the same old food. the irish man nervously raised his hand and said 'friendsm lets do the noble thing and stick to our word'. so one by one tey jumped off the site. a week later: triple funeral. the wife of the english man stood sadly and said, 'all he had to do was tell me he wanted something else to eat. thats all he had to do'. the scottish wife was sad too, 'all he had to do was go to let me know he wanted different sandwiches'. the irish wife replied, 'he made his own sandwhiches'.
  5. Now this.. this just takes Bad Assery to a whole new level.. . .

    Would You??

    If they both looked weaker than me, I would. If however the guys looked anything like Kimbo I wouldn't even look at them fighting.
  8. Fabregas This year it will be something similar to this inshaAllah.. *minus the turban of course* *and the Ali baba sandals* *no I'm not looking for an indian wife*
  9. Correct me if I'm wrong but the brides' family paying the dowry is practiced by hindus not the muslims. This whole thing is down to personal choice. I understand the culture argument and thinking about how your kids will be raised up. But for every Somali that marries a non somali, there will always be many others who stick to their own. Also, marrying outside of your race/culture doesn't necesarily mean robbing your kids off their culture, the extended family is always there and it's the parents to keep them involved in their childrens' lives. Experiencing 2 different cultures doesn't harm anyone. I'm not advocating for the marriage of foreigners, but merely saying that it doesn't concern us and it certainly doesn't make it a problem that needs to be addressed.
  10. "The question is why these guys prefer indian girls then somalis?" What's so special about somali women yaqey? Seriously, someone tell me. It always seems like a big deal when a somali lady/guy marries a foreigner or a convert.
  11. Just don't. Why? Because it's bad for you. Or so I've been told ages ago, and it actually scared me enough not to try it since. (well only once to see what would really happen) So I googled it today but there aren't any medical explanations for it. But.. apparently your digestive system needs all the blood to digest your meal, and a hot shower causes your blood to be spread evenly all over your body which severly reduces your digestive system's performance. The results can vary from stomach cramps to heart attacks and DEATH in your shower cubicle.

    Happy Garga3an

    -knock knock -who's there? -Xagallah! Aaaah. There's nothing like living in the freej.

    China

    Looks like a massive panoramic screen shot of Age of Empires game. *I hope you don't want something like that done for Somalia as well :eek: *
  16. jajajajajajajaja It's just as funny as Peter Griffin's attempt at speaking italian.
  17. If you know of someone who struggles to pronounce cetain words/letters correctly in the quran, help him/her.
  18. You're 'sacrificing' some actions that you are not supposed to be doing in the first place? May Allah make it easier for you, but I think it's better to see it the other way, how many things can you keep on doing after ramadan. The things that people usually do like praying the night prayer and fajr, reading the quran daily, donating, making dua constantly and so on.. I recently heard in a Friday lecture that the hardest prayers for the munafiq are Fajr and Isha. You don't want to be labelled that in the day of judgement!
  19. If one is praying alone at night and wishes to read directly from the musxaf, is it permissible? If yes, can anyone explain how this could be done especially during the bow and prostration?
  20. Ramadan mubarak my dear brothers and sisters, may you all have a blessed month amongst your family and friends. AAliyah, a temprary 'welcome back' to you as well.
  21. Originally posted by Norfsky: Wow, I too remember this when I lived in Sharjah. I've actually been in that location but I cant remember it vividly . As the iftar time approachhed I always stood in the balcony waiting for it in excitement, and chances are i was probably doing so as that particular photo was taken.
  22. Never had a cup of coffee in my life! My microwave is turning me into an ocd freak, just can't let the digital timer run down to zero at all costs. I always keep an eye on it and as soon is it hits 3 seconds i have to drop whatever i'm doing and turn the damn thing off.. it gives me this unexplainable satisfaction.
