  1. ^^^ Fear Factor for the Faraaxs!!!!!
  2. I see that a majority of the women's reasons for wanting to work and not stay home is that they would be wasting all the money they used for thier education? Is that right? Well who says to have kids right after the damn marriage? Wait 1-3 yrs where you both work...the husbands income will support both of you (rent, food, clothes, etc.) and the wifes income can pay off the student loan debts acquired by both of them and any other debts. YOu can pay off all the debts in 1-2 yrs if you work together. THEN WHEN YOU DONT HAVE THE EXCUSE OF DEBT PROBLEMS YOU CAN REALLY MAKE AN HONEST AND ACCURATE REASON FOR WANTING TO WORK. I think that is a really good idea speaking for myself...and since both of you are grads from a college/uni then im assuming ur earning enough to pay this all off quickly.
  3. I think I see that most of the women who want to be a wife, mother, and a bussinesswoman expect thier future hubbies to agree to their demands and dont want him to expect them to change for him. Laakin they also expect a man whose opinon of a wife is to stay home and cook, to change for them and accept her working and etc. THIS CANNOT WORK AND IS NOT FAIR. You dont want to change for him...laakin you expect him to change? Saas miyaa? YOu cant change a person...to be happy you have to find someone who agrees with ur views and isnt uncomfortable with u bringing home the beef too.
  4. The cavalier manner in which our society treats child care, not as a matter of intimacy and love, but as a matter of convenience and economics, is deeply destructive to our children's sense of attachment, identity and importance. I have said over and over again for years, if you won't or can't offer your child your being and time, don't make a baby -- get a parakeet. You can always throw a towel over the cage and quiet it when you're busy or just not interested. If you dont want to raise your children.....dont have them. Children deserve to be put first...not worked around your schedules and interests.
  5. I cant believe that you guys are more shocked about the age. THAT WAS HIS NIECE (if we are to believe the story ) but this is INCEST we are talking about.

    Can’t you see the pointlessness of chasing me around like this and dangling of my shirtsleeves like a neglected three-year-old? Ouch!! As DA mentioned we have to know what we are memorizing. I think that if you dont know the meaning of the quran then it is very difficult to memorize and very, very, very easy to forget. I dont know how many times I had to repeat the 3rd juus in Duqsi. That was embarassing and very difficult time. IF you know the meaning of the verses....it is like a story and you know what is coming next. Laakin..memorization alone only relies on ur __________ (i cant find the word to explain it but i think u get it).
  7. Have any one of you heard about the great invensions .....tv dinners and hamburger helpers? Does wonders for those who cant cook to save their lives.
  8. Government Wants to Criminalize Adultery Wed Sep 1, 8:44 AM ET ISTANBUL, Turkey (Reuters) - Turkey's government wants to make adultery a crime, the justice minister was quoted as saying Monday, a proposal that has outraged the main opposition and women's groups. Although the legislation would also apply to men, a previous adultery law abolished six years ago was used mainly against women. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which traces its roots to a banned Islamist movement, wants to include the adultery ban in an overhaul of the penal code, promised as part of reforms aimed at meeting European Union (news - web sites) criteria. The main opposition party has threatened to vote against the entire penal code reform if the clause on adultery is included in the bill and brought to parliament. "We believe that adultery should be a crime, because society also expects this," Justice Minister Cemil Cicek was quoted as saying by newspapers. A final draft of the adultery clause has not been published as the government says it is still under discussion, but AKP officials say it envisages jail sentences of up to two years Turkey's top court struck down a law penalizing adultery in 1998 and said in its ruling that the law had been mainly used against women, leading to gender inequality. Although Muslim Turkey has enshrined equality for women, rights groups say discrimination against women remains endemic. The European Union is expected to criticize the lack of equality for women in Turkey in a progress report on the country's candidacy due in October, diplomats have said. The penal code's other reforms aim primarily to expand rights to meet the European Union's basic criteria for membership. Turkey is hoping a swath of recent rights reforms will convince Brussels to set a date to begin accession talks next year. The other proposed changes include ending reductions in sentences for those convicted of so-called honor killings, longer prison terms for police found guilty of torture and new penalties for those convicted of racism and other forms of discrimination. ---------------- They want to criminalize adultery and at the same time are thinking about reducing the sentence of those accused of HONOUR KILLINGS/MURDER? Does anyone else see something wrong with this?

  12. Road to Hijab In order to even find the road to hijab, much less walkinng on it, one must first realize that the hijab of the Muslim woman is not Arabian, Pakistani, Black or White American, etc. It is the command of Allah (SWT), the conditions for which have been given in the Quran and Sunnah, in order to provide protection and safety for women. Here are a few aspects one needs to consider: Intention The first step on the road to hijab is the proper intention (Niyah). The wearing of the hijab is the compliance to the command of Allah (SWT), therefore it can be classified as an act of worship. As with all acts of worship, the fundamental underlying principle is intention. The hijab must be worn for no other reason except to comply with the order of Allah (SWT), solely for His (SWT) sake and seeking His (SWT) Pleasure. If it is not done with this sincere intention, then it becomes an act of either "Hypocrisy" or of "Ar- Riyaa (showing off)". If a Muslim woman wears hijab because, for instance, of an overbearing husband or father, and in her heart she dislikes it, or feels that it is a form of injustice; then she may very well have taken an act deserving of reward into one that may not bring about any reward in the hereafter. If all that Allah (SWT) expected from our acts of worship were outward manifestations, then He (SWT) would have graciously accepted the Islam of the hypocrites during the time of the Prophet (SAW). The same is true for the woman who wears hijab because it's what the women around her do. She covers from head to toe in black to impress the people with her piety. When she is abroad, where no one she knows will see her, save her Lord, she does not wear the proper hijab. She then falls under the threat of Allah's (SWT) punishment, as the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever does a deed for the people, then Allah (SWT) will give him to the people." Knowledge Love The second step on the road to hijab, is knowledge. The great scholar of Hadith, Imam Bukhari said, "Knowledge must precede both statement and action." It is of the utmost importance for a woman who is seeking to observe the proper hijab, to ascertain sure knowlege, based on the Quran, Sunnah and the understanding of the first generations of Muslims (Salaf). Unfortunately in this day and age, there are no shortage of books written on the issue of hijab by both Muslims and non-Muslims alike that are full of misleading information. It therefore becomes incumbent on Muslim women to gain sure and correct knowledge on this topic, in order to be better able in ciphering through the misinformation that is so predominant on this issue, and getting to the truth. When hijab is observed with the proper intentions and based upon sound knowledge, it then becomes a firm conviction in the heart. Due to this conviction, it becomes less likely that the hijab will be abandoned; either based upon the weak arguments of would-be Muslim "scholars," or the everyday pressures of living in a "modern" society and its false call to women's liberation. For the true desire of these people is as Allah (SWT) says in the Quran, "Verily ,those who like that (the crime of) illegal sexual intercourse should be propagated among those who believe, they will have a painful torment in this world and in the hereafter. And Allah knows and you know not." (An-Nur 24:19) Love The third step on the road to hijab is love. It is among the signs of true belief that all acts of worship are manifested from love of those actions. The love of the hijab and the haya (inhibition or bashfulness) of the first generation of Muslim women has slowly been worn away from the hearts of modern-day Muslim women. Once Ali ibn abi Talib (RA) asked his wife, Fatimah (RA), "What is the thing most beloved to a believing woman?" Fatimah (RA) replied, "Not to see or be seen by strange men." What happened to this love of modesty? Unfortunately for many Muslim women, this love has been replaced with the love of women's liberation or the love of what has become prevalent in one's culture or homeland. In order for the love of the hijab to be returned to the hearts of Muslim women, we must remove from our hearts the disease that suggests that the hijab makes us inferior to men and restricts our womanhood. These are whisperings of the Satan calling Muslim women to abandon their honor, and their status as the best women of creation. The hijab of the Muslim woman is her right and her honor ordained by the Lord of the worlds. It is her light that separates her from the darkness of the disbelieving women. It was narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said, "The parable of a woman who moves with a slow sweeping motion, trailing her beautiful clothes, performing not for her husband, is like darkness on the Day of Judgement, she has no light." (Tirmithi) Awrah The awrah of a woman is the areas of her body, which must be covered. The respected scholars from past and present have differed in whether the veil should cover the hands and face, or whether it is sufficient to cover everything, save the hands and face. Aisha (RA) reported that once her sister, Asma (RA) visited her in finery while the Prophet (SAW) was at home. He (SAW) turned away from her and said, "O Asma, when a woman reaches puberty it is not lawful for her to uncover any part of her body except this." He (SAW) then pointed to his face and hand palm. (Abu Dawud) The above narration is one of the most commonly cited as proof for leaving the face and hands uncovered. The main consideration of this opinion must be what constitutes the face and the hands. The above statement clearly illustrates that the hand is part of the body, which extends below the wrist bone. The definition of what constitutes the face can be found in another tradition of the Prophet (SAW). He (SAW) pointed from his forehead to his chin and from his cheek to the cheek. (Abu Dawud) It may be of importance to note that ears must also be covered because they are not a part of the face, but are a part of the head as he (SAW), said, "The two ears are a part of the head." (Tirmithi) This opinion also does not allow for the uncovering of the neck and breast. The khimar must cover the entire head, INCLUDING THE EARS, ALL OF THE HAIR, come down from the head to COVER THE NECK AND THE BOSOM. This is clear in the statement of Allah (SWT), "And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head- cover, apron, etc., and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks, and bossoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment ..." (An-Nur 24:31) Also among the things that must be covered are the clothes that a woman wears IN HER HOME. It is not sufficient for a Muslim woman to go out in PANTS or a SKIRT, a LONG SHIRT, or even a SHALWAR KAMEESE and a khimar, because many times the clothes that a woman wears in the house are themselves adornments. As the above verse states, Allah (SWT) FORBIDS the believing women from displaying her adornments, except to those people whom are clearly named out in (the remaining part of) the verse (An Nur 24:31). Allah (SWT) also commands His Prophet (SAW) to tell the women in the following verse, "O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Al-Ahzab 33:59) Even though the hijab is not merely a covering dress, equally as important ,it is behavior, manners, speech and appearance in public; there are certain standards of dress however, "Conditions of Hijab", that must be maintained.

    ISLAM

    Assalamu Alaikum. How many are good to their parents? I see so many kids ignoring their parents, talking back, yelling at them and the parents (almost always a single mother) looks scared of thier own kid and always makes excuses for them. Laillaha illalah. THe day of judgment is truly closer than we think. Elahayow noo dambi dhaaf. Ameen. Disobedience to Parents: A Major Sin It is the right of parents that their children should treat them with kindness, obedience, and honor. Devotion to parents is a natural instinct which must be strengthened by deliberate actions. The rights of the mother are stressed the more because of her suffering during pregnancy and childbirth, her suckling of the child, and her role in rearing it . In the words of Allah Ta'ala: And We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents. His mother carries him in pain and she gives birth to him in pain, and (the period) of carrying him and weaning him is thirty months....(46:15) Once a man came to the Prophet (peace be on him) and asked, 'Who is most deserving of my good companionship?' 'Your mother,' replied the Prophet (peace be on him). 'Who next?' the man asked. 'Your mother,' replied the Prophet (peace be on him). 'Who next?' he asked. 'Your mother,' replied the Prophet (peace be on him). 'Who next?' asked the man. 'Your father,' replied the Prophet.(Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.) The Prophet (peace be on him) declared disobedience to parents to be a major sin, second only to ascribing partners to Allah , as has been stated in the Qur'an. Al-Bukhari and Muslim report his saying, 'Shall I not inform you about the three major sins?' Those who were present replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said 'Associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents,' and sitting up from the reclining position, he continued, 'and telling lies and false testimony; beware of it.' He also said, "Three persons shall not enter the Garden: the one who is disobedient to his parents, the pimp, and the woman who imitates men.' ' (Reported by al-Nisai, al-Bazzar on the authority of excellent transmitters, and al-Hakim) and, "Allah defers (the punishment of) all sins to the Day of Resurrection excepting disobedience to parents, for which Allah punishes the sinner in this life before his death." (Reported by al-Hakim, on the authority of sound transmitters.) Moreover, Islam emphasizes treating parents kindly, especially when they grow old. As their strength fails, they require more attention and care, and more consideration of their even more sensitive feelings. Concerning this the Qur'an says, Thy Lord hath decreed that you worship none but Him and that you be kind to parents. If one or both of them attain old age with thee, do not say a word of annoyance (Literally, "Do not say Uff! (an expression of annoyance) to them." (Trans.)) to them nor repulse them, but speak to them in gracious words and in mercy lower to them the wing of humility and say, My Lord, bestow Thy mercy othem, as they cherished me when I was little... .(17:23-24) In explaining this verse, a commentator says, " If a lesser thing than saying 'Uff!' tparents were known to Allah, He would have prohibited (even that)."
  14. I dont know the true age of Aisha and I really do not care. This little unknown fact does not benefit us or harm us in any way. NO one except allah really knows the true ages of Aisha or Khadija when they got married....those are the two that are most speculated on. P.S. Did you know that people, Arabs and Non-Arabs alike, used to give thier yet unborn kids in marriage? SOme one would say "If I have a daughter, id give her to your son" or something like that.
  15. Viagra Followup With Viagra such a hit, Pfizer is bringing forth a whole line of drugs oriented towards improving the performance of men in today's society.... DIRECTRA - a dose of this drug given to men before leaving on car trips caused 72 percent of them to stop and ask directions when they got lost, compared to a control group of 0.2 percent. PROJECTRA - Men given this experimental new drug were far more likely to actually finish a household repair project before starting a new one. CHILDAGRA - Men taking this drug reported a sudden, over-whelming urge to perform more child-care tasks, especially cleaning up spills and "little accidents." COMPLIMENTRA - In clinical trials, 82 percent of middle-aged men administered this drug noticed that their wives had a new hairstyle. Currently being tested to see if its effects extend to noticing new clothing. BUYAGRA - Married and otherwise attached men reported a sudden urge to buy their sweeties expensive jewelry and gifts after talking this drug for only two days. Still to be seen: whether the drug can be continued for a period longer than your favorites store's return limit. NEGA-VIAGRA - Has the exact opposite effect of Viagra. Currently undergoing clinical trials on sitting U.S. presidents. NEGA-SPORTAGRA - This drug had the strange effect of making men want to turn off televised sports and actually converse with other family members. FLATULAGRA - This complex drug converts men's noxious intestinal gases back into food solids. Special bonus: Dosage can be doubled for long car rides. FLYAGRA - This drug has been showing great promise in treating men with O.F.D. (Open Fly Disorder). Expecially useful for men on Viagra. PROGECGRA - Men given this experimental new drug were far more likely to actually finish a household repair project before starting a new one. LIAGRA - This drug causes men to be less than truthful when being asked about their sexual affairs. Will be available Regular, Grand Jury and Presidential Strength versions.
