Now Sareen[Wheat grain] brings back memories,how my Ayeyo made sure every night it was cooked[it took hours to cook it],with milk and a dash of subaag on top! Ah granny's love!

The mistrust conspiracy theory! How addictive it is. I would have loved to attend that lecture,just ease my addiction...

^^Lol,a thing to notice. So where are the tribal leaders? Were'nt they too invited to meet the Arabs. What difference would it make if outsiders get involved,isnt the issue among ourselves? :rolleyes:

Ghanima,you passed?? Hmmm, I have doubts on Red Sea's teaching qualification now!

Inaanilaah wa inaa Ilaahi Raajicuun.

^^^ Their happiness is nausianting..*Phuk*

^^Now that is rubbing it in!!.Lol..Mashaallah! Erm,your in East London right?..So do Asian women come to the mosques? Here you hardly see them at the Pakistani mosque or the Bengali mosques.We are a bit segregated here,but alhamdulillah yesterday,I saw people from all nations praying together..finally unity is in process!!

^^^Haa it was from a Pakistani friend. Alxamdulillah Yesterday was a productive day,despite being totally wiped out by 5pm..I managed to go to taraweeh prayers! Now North,please dont make us feel jealous,you should see where we pray,in a dingy WMCA hall,were I live we dont have a big mosque..nothing fancy too!

I received this through those chain emails,it fascinated me so why not share it. Heh!..: Amazing as it sounds, but fortunately for the Muslims of the world, it is an established fact. Have a look at a map of the world and you will find Indonesia on the eastern side of the earth. The major cities of Indonesia are Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Saibil. As soon as dawn breaks on the eastern side of Saibil, at approximately 5.30am local time, Fajar Azaan begins. Thousands of Muazzins in Indonesia begin reciting the Azaan. The process advances towards West Indonesia . One and a half hours after the Azaan has been completed in Saibil, it echoes in Jakarta . Sumatra then follows suit and before this auspicious process of calling Azaan ends in Indonesia, it has already begun in Malaysia . Burma is next in line,and within an hour of its beginning in Jakarta, it reaches Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh . After Bangladesh , it has already prevailed in western India , from Kolkata to Srinagar . It then advances towards Mumbai and the environment of entire India resounds with this proclamation. Srinagar and Sialkot (a north city in Pakistan ) have the same timing for Azaan. The time difference between Sialkot , Quetta , and Karachi is forty minutes, and within this time, Fajar Azaan is heard throughout Pakistan . Before it ends there, it has already begun in Afghanistan and Muscat . The time difference between Muscat and Baghdad is one hour. Azaan resounds during this one hour in the environments Hijaaz-e-Muqaddas (Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah), Yemen , Emirates , Kuwait and Iraq . The time difference between Baghdad and Alexandria in Egypt is again one hour. Azaan continues to resound in Syria, Egypt, Somalia and Sudan during this hour. The time difference between eastern and western Turkey is one-and-a-half hours, and during this time, it is echoed with the call to prayer Alexandria and Tripoli (capital of Libya ) are located at one hour's difference. The process of calling Azaan thus continues throughout the whole of Africa . Therefore, the proclamation of the 'Tawheed' and 'Risaalat' that had begun in Indonesia reaches the eastern shore of the Atlantic Ocean after nine-and-a-half hours. Prior to the Azaan reaching the shores of the Atlantic, the process of 'Zohar Azaan' has already started in east Indonesia, and before it reaches Dacca, 'Asr Azaan' has started. This has hardly reached Jakarta one-and-a-half hours later, the time of 'Maghrib' becomes due, and no sooner has 'Maghrib' time reached Sumatra the time for calling 'Isha Azaan' has commenced in Saibil! When the Muazzins of Indonesia are calling out 'Fajar Azaan', the African Muazzins are calling the Azaan for Isha. If we were to ponder over this phenomenon thoughtfully, we would conclude the amazing fact that there is not even a single moment when hundreds of thousands of Muazzins around the world are not reciting the Azaan on the surface of this earth. Even as you read this material right now, you can be sure there are at least thousands of people who are hearing and reciting the Azaan!!!

Aah,am off home to cook a feast,my daughter is expecting a table full of goodies. North,Lol Ghanima,I bought some of those frozen samosa for the weekdays,got no time to be making them from scratch!

Happy Birthday, Kool_Kat!! With a nick like that how can you feel old? A little present from me to you imagine this: IMAGINE A WOMAN Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman. A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories. Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life. Imagine a woman who believes she is good. A woman who trusts and respects herself. Who listens to her needs and desires, and meets them with tenderness and grace. Imagine a woman who has acknowledged the past’s influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past. Who has healed into the present. Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and to her wisest voice. Imagine a woman who names her own gods. A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness. Who designs her own spirituality and allows it to inform her daily life. Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource. Imagine a woman who honors the face of the Goddess in her changing face. A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use precious energy disguising the changes in her body and life. Imagine a woman who values the women in her life. A woman who sits in circles of women. Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets. Imagine yourself as this woman. Patricia Lynn Reiley

I came across this "supposedly angry letter to the guardian" circulating around the school,it wasnt circulated by the pupils[which you would expect]but it is done by members of the teaching staff,they made so many copies to go in each staff room/lockers. It got me thinking,if these are the educators,whom are meant to educate,to enlight a young mind,and yet not educated themselves enough, the question is ; what are they doing in an educational institute? Here is the piece of ignorance they obviously feel is necessary for all staff to read: Angry letter – The Guardian 2006 Dear Sir, I am getting sick to death about hearing about so called poverty. Comic relief, Children in Need, Oxfam adverts its all there seems to be on television nowadays. Why it that all we keep hearing about is those who have missed a couple of meals? Only a few people are really poor and poverty isn’t that bad really. I know people who can only afford the basic Sky package so there are lots of people in this country who are poor. Why should I give money to help other countries? If they have a problem feeding people its obvious that there are too many people in their country and that hey should stop having so many children Is it our fault the price of stuff keeps going up, nobody has to trade it’s a free world. In the great days of the empire nobody helped us. I say let them help themselves! In fact we helped them countries develop by buying what they produce like sugar, tea and rubber. Most of these poor countries have plenty of land. So what do they do with it? Half the time all they do is grow corps to sell!! So why don’t they grow food? I would like to remind them of the old saying “feed your own people first” Mind you many people will tell you that this is because of unfair trade .How ridiculous! Why should we send them money when they already owe our banks more money than they can ever pay back? I have just recently got back from my safari in Tanzania and I didn’t see anyone starving. They only need rickety huts any way as the weather is so good and why are these people always ill, why don’t they just go to the doctor. We’ve had droughts but we manage So come on you red nose lot, stop trying to pull my heart strings, what more do you want us to do?? Angrily Mr. I. A .M. OK Should these people be educating??

Iskudirkuu wexee timadaa,when those involved are weak,and what makes a man weak if not Greed and Power.

^^Lol@ you lot!

^^Anybody asked Rudy how his day was?..he sure is living the high life..

One wonders,what is there in Somalia that the neo-con would gain from...the Oil Myth? or something more sinister? e.g a war on whom would supply the mad men with better weapons? Now that Russia is making some noisy here and there...hmmm oh well!

Is it crazy to envie a woman with seven kids on benefits, driving a brand new BMW! getting £500 pounds a week on benefit which excludes the rent/council tax on her 5 bedroom mansion! Lol,am not envious,but it just isnt fair!,time to breed like rabbits hadhaa!

^^I think this process is only initiated to some newbies not all,when I started to post just few months ago[yeah I know it feels like ya all know me for ages]I just stood by Jac side,did my Loolz with him and his crew,until I was ready to play with the others..Lol
