It's a p*ss take site. Was funny, till I made the mistake of reading their Islam page. *hurt and disturbed*

On topic: Dubai Police Stations, apparently. Off topic. Pucca, I can't argue with that, hon. ThePoint, I don't know about the UAE comparison.

^Can I see it too? LOL@ Nehphiso, You sound crazy in every accent.

LOL, JB. Lesson learned, marka danbe, dadka muraadkaaga u sheego, you might safe yourself a lot of hssle. I wish I could get that excited about ID cards. We're supposed to get one by the 31st but I so can't be bothered. Ibtisaam, google it, it's so sweet. Something along the lines of, midnimo, walaalnimo... kugu salaane samo ku waar. That's all I remember. Markaa, waar dee ku waar@ JB

Only in the car. Mostly, Idaacat Quraan, Abu Dhabi. Beautiful! Dubai Eye, sometimes.

^Start a thread, Pucca. Declare your Jacayl. I've been, Canadians are a lovely bunch. Come on, Ameen. You MUST love Barber. How are you btw? Long time! p.s Haneefah, the SOLer.

^LOL. So, what's so great about Canada? Apart from the Little Mosque on the Prairie (do you watch that?) and Haneefah?

^lOL@ THE NEXT... durba waad siisay jagada, khalaas! Ina Cali Waraabe has made himself a name as a staunchest Somalilander on the planet - ninkaa taa waa loo qiray. more like a dibjir digaar! He's a national embarrassment, qofku. :rolleyes:

^ . How have you been? There's some truth to what he wrote, in fact I was hoping some one would tell the "Euro- trash" (to borrow from Marx) that UAEs’ idea of 'modern' does not mean that it’s okay to run around half naked, drunk and have a bonk on the beach, the effing nerve!! He's also right about the evil Atlantis, though I don’t give a toss about how they treat wannabe celebs, I’m really annoyed with their disrespect for Marin life! I say this in reference to the poor whales they've captured and imprisoned in their silly Aquarium. :mad: Anyway, considering the whole article is based on what's been written about Dubai, rather than his personal experience, I'm not surprised that it's paints a very tainted picture of the city. The bit about the desert being featureless got me. If you’ve never been, I suppose. That's one of the great things about the UAE along with the local culture and heritage sites). I believe this place has more going for it than plastic malls and OTT hotels, though the hype only focuses on that aspect of Dubai. p.s I'd rather be here than the cold, dingy and depressing English tuulo he’s writing from. :cool:

^Heey, you. *muwaah* No, they'll be here tonight, Insha Allah.

LMAO. Nice one p.s You're Somaali has improved, Ayeeyo.

^Masha Allah, bro. I had a feeling it was. I hope it goes well with the job and your studies.

:rolleyes: @ Ducaysane, waar iga xishood, sodoh baan ahee.

Urban, Walaal, don't despair. Allah has told us the His Mercy prevails over His wrath. The doors of forgiveness are always open and when you really set to avoid something and do something for the sake of Allah. He will open doors open for you. Look at your options and see if you can pay for the fees yourself. Also, speak to your universities accounts department. Some universities have a system where students can spread their tuition fees and pay monthly. Perhaps, work part-time and study part-time next year. It only means an extra semester and you'll have a head start in your career through the experience you gain from this. I think, you should continue your studies as you already have debt and it would be easier for you to pay it all off - after you graduate. Insha Allah. In addition to asking for Allahs forgiveness [though I fully agree with the Sheikhs fatwa on necessity making it permissible], try to also use the skills and the wealth you gain as a result of your studies for the purpose of da'wah and helping the needy. Make this one of the reasons of pursuing (if it already isn't) your education. And, hopefully this will redress the balance (scales ). I hope Allah makes it easier for you and helps you find a way. I know exactly what your going through. Nehanda Generally leniences are practiced where there is a hardship, not wanting to paying someone elses mortgage maybe an inconvenience but it is not a hardship as you still have a roof over your head. The good news is that interest free mortgages are not as elusive as they once were. There are a few banks offering it now, even in the west. p.s There's a useful discussion on the Islam section, check it out. http://www.somaliaonline.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/t opic/3/2905 I'A

LMAO@ Faheema. Bal aan ana kula duulo.

Well, you have the freedom to take your business elsewhere. DS is clearly doing very well without you. The award of Top Manager of the year is the first of its kind given to an African company and in winning Dahabshiil overcame fierce competition from major global brands such as Western Union, Coinstar and Unistream. The award not only recognises the outstanding service that Dahabshiil offers its customers and its commitment to social responsibility, but also endorses the company’s excellent record for complying with the most rigorous international standards of conduct. Masha Allah to them. Illahay ha u barakeeyo. Ameen.

A few Mumbai Muslims here, in fact one of my class mates is there for a wedding now. I hope she's safe. Probably why I'm interested. Sad truth.

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, It's a bit long but the tips are worth it... Today (26th of Nov) is already the 29th of Dhul Qa'idah! The 10 finest days are right around the corner. What makes these 10 days so exceptional? How should we spend these special days and nights? What reward will we gain? To find out more, read the article below (for the entire article, please click on the link provided) jazakum Allahu khairan Virtues of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah From http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/1699 Some excerpts: . Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allaah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah?" He said, "Not even jihaad for the sake of Allaah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2/457). These texts and others indicate that these ten days are better than all the other days of the year, with no exceptions, not even the last ten days of Ramadaan. But the last ten nights of Ramadaan are better, because they include Laylat al-Qadr ("the Night of Power"), which is better than a thousand months. Thus the various reports may be reconciled. (See Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 5/412). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to recite a lot of Tasbeeh ("Subhan-Allaah"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah") and Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar") during this time. 'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There are no days greater in the sight of Allaah and in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Him than these ten days, so during this time recite a great deal of Tahleel ("La ilaaha ill-Allaah"), Takbeer and Tahmeed." (Reported by Ahmad, 7/224; Ahmad Shaakir stated that it is saheeh). These ten days include Yawm 'Arafaah (the Day of 'Arafaah), on which Allaah perfected His Religion. Fasting on this day will expiate for the sins of two years. These days also include Yawm al-Nahar (the Day of Sacrifice), the greatest day of the entire year and the greatest day of Hajj, which combines acts of worship in a way unlike any other day. The Sunnah indicates that the one who wants to offer a sacrifice must stop cutting his hair and nails and removing anything from his skin, from the beginning of the ten days until after he has offered his sacrifice, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "When you see the new moon of Dhu'l-Hijjah, if any one of you wants to offer a sacrifice, then he should stop cutting his hair and nails until he has offered his sacrifice." According to another report he said: "He should not remove (literally, touch) anything from his hair or skin." (reported by Muslim with four isnaads, 13/146) The wisdom behind this prohibition of the one who wants to offer a sacrifice from cutting his hair etc., is so that he may resemble those in ihraam in some aspects of the rituals performed, and so that he may draw closer to Allaah by offering the sacrifice. So he leaves his hair and nails alone until the time when he has offered his sacrifice, in the hope that Allaah will save him in his entirety from the Fire. And Allaah knows best. This prohibition appears to apply only to the one who is offering the sacrifice, not to his wife and children, unless any of them is offering a sacrifice in his or her own right, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to sacrifice "on behalf of the family of Muhammad," but there are no reports that say he forbade them to cut their hair or nails at that time. Among the good deeds which the Muslim should strive to do during the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah are: Fasting. It is Sunnah to fast on the ninth day of Dhu'l-Hijjah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged us to do good deeds during this time, and fasting is one of the best of deeds. Allaah has chosen fasting for Himself, as is stated in the hadeeth qudsi: "Allaah says: 'All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except for fasting, which is for Me and I am the One Who will reward him for it.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1805). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu'l-Hijjah. Hunaydah ibn Khaalid reported from his wife that some of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on the ninth of Dhu'l-Hijjah, on the day of 'Aashooraa', on three days of each month, and on the first two Mondays and Thursdays of each month." (Reported by al-Nisaa'i, 4/205 and by Abu Dawud; classified by al-Albaani as saheeh in Saheeh Abi Dawud, 2/462). Takbeer. It is Sunnah to say Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar"), Tahmeed ("Al-hamdu Lillaah"), Tahleel ("La ilaha ill-Allaah") and Tasbeeh ("Subhaan Allaah") during the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah, and to say it loudly in the mosque, the home, the street and every place where it is permitted to remember Allaah and mention His name out loud, as an act of worship and as a proclamation of the greatness of Allaah, may He be exalted. Men should recite these phrases out loud, and women should recite them quietly. "That they might witness things that are of benefit to them (i.e., reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and also some worldly gain from trade, etc.), and mention the name of Allaah on appointed days, over the beast of cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice)..." [al-Hajj 22:28] The majority of scholars agree that the "appointed days" are the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah, because of the words of Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father): "The 'appointed days' are the first ten days (of Dhu'l-Hijjah)." The Takbeer may include the words "Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, la ilaaha ill-Allaah; wa Allaahu akbar wa Lillaahi'l-hamd (Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, there is no god but Allaah; Allaah is Most Great and to Allaah be praise)," as well as other phrases. Takbeer at this time is an aspect of the Sunnah that has been forgotten, especially during the early part of this period, so much so that one hardly ever hears Takbeer, except from a few people. This Takbeer should be pronounced loudly, in order to revive the Sunnah and as a reminder to the negligent. There is sound evidence that Ibn 'Umar and Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to go out in the marketplace during the first ten days of Dhu'l-Hijjah, reciting Takbeer, and the people would recite Takbeer when they heard them. The idea behind reminding the people to recite Takbeer is that each one should recite it individually, not in unison, as there is no basis in Sharee'ah for doing this. Reviving aspects of the Sunnah that have been virtually forgotten is a deed that will bring an immense reward, as is indicated by the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Whoever revives an aspect of my Sunnah that is forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting in the least from their reward." (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 7/443; this is a hasan hadeeth because of corroborating asaaneed). Performing Hajj and 'Umrah. One of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days is to perform Hajj to the Sacred House of Allaah. The one whom Allaah helps to go on Hajj to His House and to perform all the rituals properly is included in the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "An accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise." Performing Hajj and 'Umrah. One of the best deeds that one can do during these ten days is to perform Hajj to the Sacred House of Allaah. The one whom Allaah helps to go on Hajj to His House and to perform all the rituals properly is included in the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "An accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise." Whoever is not able to go to Hajj should occupy himself at this blessed time by worshipping Allaah, praying (salaat), reading Qur'an, remembering Allaah, making supplication (du'aa'), giving charity, honouring his parents, upholding the ties of kinship, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, and other good deeds and acts of worship. Sacrifice. One of the good deeds that will bring a person closer to Allaah during these ten days is offering a sacrifice, by choosing a high-quality animal and fattening it, spending money for the sake of Allaah. (more information to follow, in sha Allaah). Sincere repentance. One of the most important things to do during these ten days is to repent sincerely to Allaah and to give up all kinds of disobedience and sin. Repentance means coming back to Allaah and foregoing all the deeds, open and secret, that He dislikes, out of regret for what has passed, giving it up immediately and being determined never to return to it, but to adhere firmly to the Truth by doing what Allaah loves. O you whose hard heart is as dark as the night, is it not time that your heart was filled with light and became soft? Expose yourself to the gentle breeze of your Lord's mercy during these ten days, for Allaah will cause this breeze to touch whomever He wills, and whoever is touched by it will be happy on the Day of Judgement. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and all his Family and Companions.
