  1. im e-mailing this to some folks, thats amazing. subhanallah
  2. masha allah sis. yr indeed a lucky person.
  3. this reminded me of something someone once said to a non believer. he asked "if you knew that you had a piece of excrement hanging from yr ear, yet you couldnt see it, would you try everything you could to clean it? or just leave the house knowing you had feeces hanging from yr ear?" the kid answered hed try to clean himself ofcourse. to which the muslim answered "you see thats the point of islam, we cleanse our souls through daily prayers and fasts and good deeds so that we may be pure on the day we meet our maker". i dnt know if he got it from a hadith or not, bt it really impressed me.
  4. ^heh, i think im related to one of the guys up there. anywhoo, to answer the question the young lady posted, i break fast at work and/or at school. i bring fresh dates with me (which i recommend to others) and a bottle of water everywhere i go. however the other day i found out the msa was serving iftar (and will be for the rest of the month). they piled a plate of everything they had for me and i couldnt finish it so i had to head back to class with a hot, smelly stirophoam plate. i was sitting in the front bt i sensed the eyes and flared nostrils trying to get a whif of my food.
  5. village eee-diot (apparently spelling it the right way would mean im infringing on some kind of rule)
  6. i think some of it is plausible and accually happening now, like cameras in bathroom stalls, womens gyms, or even men videotaping their "sexual conquests" and showing on the world wide web. however that this would result in a woman prostituting herself or commiting murder... yeah, its a little too far fetched to take seriously. its the angle the story is coming from, it doesnt help the cause.
  7. it prolly is false, however we do have muslims converting to christianity. if they were true muslims to begin with, only allah knows.
  8. i think its false, mainly cause of the ending. i guess the writer just didnt knw how to end it and went the melodramatic road.
  9. jazakallahum khayr sis, this was my fave part: "Pre-teens and teens can prepare simple dinners and make salads, and so can most husbands." it made me laugh. bt whats this?: "Perhaps you need to hear someone reciting the Qur'an, or you lack the discipline to complete the 20 rakat on your own at home." isnt tarawih 11 rakaats?
  10. this made me angry, jesus is her saviour? arghh! :mad: she stopped believing cause ilahi tested her and she failed. those that allah has steered away from the path, none can save other than Allah Himself. insha allah shell see her faults... thats if this is accually a real story and not one being past around by christians trying to "save" muslims. they wont be happy til we reject our faith to join theirs. subhaanallah.
  11. learn something about islam everyday watch my mouth (i use bad language cause i think its funny) watch my mouth, as in what i say, i think i talk too much read and finish prophet mohammed (peace and blessings from allah be upon him) biography. limit my tv consumption (which is hard, cause i watched one hour of tv my first night of ramadaan and last night i watched approx 2 hours, god forgive me) increase in charity and good will pray on time, errryday, paying close attention to fajr (which is uuuuum disappointing so far) not break my fast with haraam things remember allah often oh, and pray tarawih at home (its a first for me too) learn to cook something people like (i want to be the one who feeds my fasting family, at least once) aaaaaaaaaannnnd thats about it. basically i want to come out of this a better muslim and incoorporate some stuff i learned this month throughout the year.
  12. uuuu, im lazy, cld someone give me the jist of the story please.
  13. Hadith Qudsi 22: On the authority of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [it was] out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear. It was related by Ibn Majah with a sound chain of authorities
  14. do any of you understand or grasp at the idea that MOST people taking part in this practise (countries like pakistan, parts of north africa and arabia) rationalize it by claiming it to be a part of islam? yes its a sensitive issue, its an ugly part of our culture, but whats uglier is that we sweep in under the rug and have young girls go through this ABSOLUTELY UGLY practise cause we dont want people to look down on us. what is it pride? well look at iblis. somalis need to check their pride, be humble enough to recognize and rectify our flaws. its not something pleasant to talk about, thats what offends you? lets ask what the girl who has to go through this what she finds offensive. meanwhile, people (actual muslims) are still claiming its a part of our deen. now THAT should offend YOU. edit after reading geidiids above response. yeah, i think its better if we adress the problem of FGM as well as other harmful practises to our people (muslims) first. Its funny isnt it, how little we contribute to one another, but when a kuffar does it for us we get offended instead of feeling ashamed for not doing anything in the first place.
  15. Accordingly, she introduced a strict code of precautionary dos and don'ts for women, including the infamous injunction that they were always to say NO when they actually meant YES, and YES when they meant NO. the most offensive part^^^
  16. I thought you meant shower as in bathe... nevermind.
  17. i have too many crushes to count, however i often start looking for a flaw so my crush will end (cause it physically hurts, you know the feeling of yr heart pounding when hes near, the queezy stomach when he leaves... its too much) and when my crush is over i either deny, deny, deny or immediately forget about em. however, now i have a crush on this guy (i think hes the 2nd muslim of all the crushes ive had) and its hard trying to find a flaw in him. hes *sobs* perfect! *holds stomach* IT HURTS!!!
  18. Narrated Abu Hurairah (r.a): Allah's Messenger (s.a.w) said, "The believers who show the most perfect Faith are those who have the best behaviour, and the best of you are those who are the best to their wives in behavior." [Tirmidhi, The Book of Suckling, Chapter: The right of a woman over her husband.]
  19. Originally posted by chocolaato: holy lord and saints above! :eek: goodness that stuff is sick! its one thing to be gay but a whole other thing to change urself like that, i guess its true then, some somali folks will bend over to fit into a certain crowd, awfully sick. seems like i'll have to check up my ethiopian folks and see how they're doin. ps. wats the point of goin back to somalia if such places exist? why would u want to raise ur kids in such environments? and why do ppl constantly say bad things bout the western world when somalia is as messed up as the west? :mad: you really think theyre doing this to "fit in"? seriously? i mean, im more inclined to believe its some kind of mental dysfunction(aided to grow by shaytaan himself) than to even think for a second a sane human being would change their gender, or choose to like the same sex cause its cool with the crowd theyre in... its not only ridiculous but would also suggest that WE (heteros) stay in our own genders and also "choose" to like the opposite sex cause its what were taught? or cause its cool since were in the majority? is that true? no right? cause we innately know were hetero jst like you know you shoud inhale and exhale to breathe. another thing, would you really want a man who secretly fantasizes about yr brother? send them back to somalia where theyll get the "gay" beaten out of em? beat em straight? i dont know. i mean, im not saying its better they live a gay lifestyle, maybe its a personal test from Allah that such a person should have these thoughts and never act em out. however, i couldnt live with myself if i found out my husband secretly fantasizes about wearing my under garments.
  20. Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaahu Anhu) states that the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said that: “When Ramadaan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed and the Shayaateen are chained.†A similar narration states that: “The doors of mercy are open.†(Mishkaat, Page 173)
  21. this one is my favourite. lesson for any foul mouthed nomads, using this following phrase (or other gloryfing phrases) is a good way in eliminating any foul language you normally use. Sa'd (radiallahu anhu) said: We were sitting with the prophet (salalahu caleyhi wa salam) and he said:"Are any of you unable to gain a thousand good deeds each day?" Somebody than asked "How does one achieve a thousand good deeds?" He (salallahu aleyhi wa salam) replied "He should say subhan allah (how perfect allah is) one hundred times, for a thousand good deeds will be written for him and a thousand bad deeds will be wiped out."
