:rolleyes: Lauryn Hill is retarded..lol.....what is she trying to prove? I think she's trying to save her reputation ever since that lawsuit. Anyway, if she felt this way, no1 forced her to perform for a religious event? How would you feel if you've invited a non-muslim speaker to an Islamic gathering...and he bursted out saying " we can't trust sheikhs b'coz they tend to fanatics"? There's a time and place for everything...she must've been high.

Ilhaam, I don't wanna hear " I'll try"....You're coming or else waa noo kal dhamaatay Anyway check ur pm soon aight. Nafisa, I'm soo happy I get to see you again!! This time you'll meet the whole family as well Insha Allah. Btw, I was suprised to see many somali families at the convention I attended this past summer. I think many are getting with the program. Jawaahir, Masha Allah you did a good job promoting this important event...may Allah reward your efforts. PM me if you guys are really interested in meeting. We'll arrange something. Wish me luck with my exams

This how you know how busy I am...it took me a min. to figure out who Caakifah was!! :confused: And why Am I the last person to hear about this..lol. Flying still, abaayo Mabruuk. I am really happy to hear this good news. Once again, Congratz

Masha Allah, she's a lil cutie! I'm proud of her.

yey..officially purchased my tickets. Anyway...what about Sheikh Abdullah Adhami...he's by far my fav. sheikh...it's been 3yrs since I've last heard him speak. Ameenah, I always take notes I don't mind sharing with you guys. Rahiima, Sh.Hamza is a scholar I deeply respect...however I know there are others who are not fond of him (it's all opinions). He usually speaks of matters that I can relate to. Baashi, It starts. Jan.2-4th.

Since when did it get soo personal for some folks what opinionated chose to practice? I think we all have opinions and convictions about Islam and we do our best to fulfill our obligations. I believe some folks really need to question the motive of their posts...is it to enlighten opinionated or to prove that her beliefs are questionable? I'm out.

It sure is..heheheh.. Pyromaniac Pixie, how was your vacation? lol. Good to see you again.

Samiyah, I'm glad someone else's sharing the enthusiasm. They're only selling 5,000 tickets and so far 3,000 have been sold. Captivating, You know you could go, but you just chose not to The following highly regarded scholars are also expected to be there: Imam of Haram Al-Sudais of Saudi Arabia Dr. Tareq Suwaidan from Kuwait Ustaad Amr Khaled from Egypt Sheikh Abdullah Adhami of Syria Dr. Tariq Ramadan of Switzerland Imam Zaid Shakir of USA Sheikh Hamza Yusuf of USA Sheikh Abdullah Hakim Quick of South Africa Imam Siraj Wahhaj of USA Sheikh Abdalla Idris of USA Dr. Jamal Badawi of Canada Sister Amina Assilmi of USA Sheikh Mokhtar Maghroui of USA Dr. Munir El Kassem of Canada Brother Abdal Rasheed Brown of South Africa Dr. William Baker of USA Brother Ziaullah Khan of Canada, and Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah of USA.

Whoa!!! Seems like there's War in my favourite corner Sister Ameenah summed up best for me: Agreed walaal. You require a mahram when travelling abroad not when your going to work / local store.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers & Sisters: The tickets sold out fast last year....Get it b4 its too late!!! http://www.revivingtheislamicspirit.com/conference/

Ciid Mubarak Abaayo. Don't eat too much xalwo...we don't want you getting cavities right?

1st & foremost...EID Mubarak to all the 3000+ nomads of SOL, I hope you're enjoying this blessed day. Secondly, a special shout-out to my friends and family from VA to UK.....you know who you are....I love you guys and don't forget to mail me my eid mubarak (Western Union prefered) ..k..!

Personally, I love the Cabaaya-Xijaab combination. I honestly think the jilbaab is a little too much to work with. It's huge and i'm sorry to say some women wear it too long that you're doing service for the city by sweeping the streets!!!! Whether it's jilbaab (somali version), or cabaaya, it's all the same. It's pretty much a cultural preference....as long as everyone fulfills the specific requirments of modesty:) Afuur wanaagsan......& EID MUBARAK !!!!

Most of the time, I think in English ...or so I thought. During my freshman year, a friend of mine over heard me.....you see I talk in my sleep...and she reported that I speak somali 99% of the time. And speaking of dreams, do you guys have vivid dreams each and every single night?

Tamina is as good as her words. Tamina is an author. Tamina is a park ( A park named after moi?? sweet). Tamina is a hotel. and finally... Tamina is a cemetery. Afur Wanaagsan....I'm starving, thanks for keeping me entertained SOL once again. Later.

Instead of downloading, I'd suggest that we support the brother by purchasing his album. All that hard work...and no profit? I'm pretty sure he puts it into good use

Me and my sister saw something when we were very young....I rather not talk about. It freaks me out to this day!!!

Ina Lilaahi wa in ilaahi ra'jicuun.

Flying Still...I was also fixated on that part...and how could a two year old inflict previous injuries such as broken bones? I'm not buying the father's story.....but innocent until proven guilty right?

I'm confused.. Why induce vomiting? That's sick!!! no offence.

Lucky I'm really concerned about the fires in San Diego....My prayers are with all the muslims families.....I hope you guys get through these trying times. Subhanallah.

LoL. I'm looking for all the suggestions....can't wait for Ramadan.

Interesting...I've always wondered about it. Thnx.
