MCC, That's very deep brotha!

How do you feel about the issue of Polygamy? Allah gave permission and made lawful for men to marry more than one wife. Allah said "...marry women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one that your right hands possess..." (Quran, 4:3) How would you feel if your future/husband decides to marry another woman? Would be loyal and follow what Allah says in his Book or feel unjust and jealous? Peace and Love. ---------- Jealousy arises often from narrow heart. ---African proverb

It saddens me whenever I hear people stereotyping Muslims and Islam or anything that they do not know anything about. They do not read about Islam in articles and Encyclopedias written by non-Muslims. We can write to newspaper articles or news magazines whenever they write any fallacies about Islam, likewise with the Media. We need to be aware of this because in today’s society, people are tuned in more with the Media and we need voice our opinions whenever necessary. Peace and Love.

Yes indeed!!! Very beautiful woman!!! Very inexpensive makeup, too. :cool:

Very tricky, aint it...well...a lot of you were close...gotta give you that...however, you are being mislead by the last statement that says "add the two dollars that the bellboy kept". You don't add the two dollars, you subtract it, which takes you to $25 which is the real cost of the room. Yes the men paid $27 altogether; but the room was $25 and the bellboy kept the other $2.

Buubto, Dont get confuse with what I said boo...I was just trying to clarify something for Indhadeeq....

Indhodeeq, You're pretty close to the answer but it requires a deep critical thinking... You said, "the room costed $25 and they each got $1 back which is total of $28 and the bell boy took $2 which makes total of $30. However, if the room costed $25 and each got back $1, then the cost of the room becomes 25-3=22 plus the $2 that the boy kept...which makes it a total of $24. So keep trying...I had hard time figuring this out, too. The rest of ya'll have the same thinking style and it's interesting how you guys are using decimal points trying to get to the answer. Very Smart...but I dont think you need decimals to get the answer. ...to be continue Insha-Allah

...something to think about... :rolleyes: THREE MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM. A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5. ON THE WAY THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF. THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29. WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

I do not exactly know when, but Allah knows it all. Besides that, I'm planning on settling down when I finish school and payoff my loans. Insha-Allah, if the right girl comes along before then, I will marry her and then finish school. Much Respect.

A Spell Check feature would be nice on SOL. ...to be contine.

Ahlaan, I totally agree with your points. On the other hand, it's just something common in African culture period. People tend to show their emotions inwardly rather than outward, both men and women. Deep inside, they have feelings but tend not show it. For a man to show his emotions outwardly, people might see him as a weak man. So we African men tend to show our manly hood by not showing any emotions such as fondness and love or what not. However, nowadays, people are becoming more like the westerners, which I think women in general prefer, slowly but progressing. Read Ahlaan's response if I didn't make any sense to you. Much love.

Very, very profound story. I loved reading it. Thanks for sharing it with us Tamina. Much Respect.

LOOOOL...very funny episode... :cool:

A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk about his wife. "Doctor, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time and always asks me to repeat things." "Well," the doctor replied, "go home and tonight stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her. If she doesn't reply move about 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get an idea about the severity of her deafness." Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she is chopping some vegetables and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He hears no response. He moves about 5 feet closer and asks again. No reply. He moves 5 feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?" She replies, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"
