A lot of innocent things can come out wrong if the timing is wrong or if the lady is armed with attitude. Well done volunteering. ...I bet i saw you too, was you wearing a Khimaar? Sheer, I tried the Masha-Allah plus a few compliments such as "Masha-Allah Ukhti we need more people like you" and my conclusion was "Insha-Allah i will see you at the next event Ukhti". Unfortunately none worked! Not even my attempts of asking them to fill out the feedback forms! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheherazade Posted December 6, 2005 Bro, I don't know what to say. Did any of them return your compliments? Or was everyone tight-lipped? It's tough being a boy, ain't it? U know I try and try and try and give people the b of the doubt. Yesterday on the train an Algerian named Mustafa decided to try and try and try with me. He went on and on about Islam and I knew it was to look mutadayin himself- this is not a good maneouvre, boys. He asked me if I knew the stories of the Prophets. This is a worse maneouvre- quizzing a woman about her knowledge. His fatal mistake was to ask me my name. When I told him my name was X(a rare treat) he replied: Ahh, the Prophet's wife was called X. Errrr, I said, Noooo, I don't think ANY of them were. And there he killed it, right there, murderous that was, murderous. Following that religious faux pas, he says: Khadija is the best name for a woman. I nod. 'U know why?', he presses I take a deep breath and remove the sarcasm from my voice. It takes a while. I shrug. Because it's the Prophet's first wife's name. I make it to the end of the sentence without ending it in a p-taking question mark. Yes, he says like a teacher pleased with his student. Inside I giggle. Weird ish happens to me a lot. God only knows my sense of humour can handle it. And he wanted to know why I wouldn't let him buy me a drink. Moral of the story: If u're going to give a compliment, make it sincere, specific and correct. And if u're going to use Islam to impress a girl, don't talk it, show it. And they'll come running to you. Good impressing, bro. Good things come to those who wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted December 7, 2005 just let u'll know that westminister university cancelled the event that it wz meant to hold at its central london campus beacuse of pressure from Zionist groups. if anyone knows any muslims students that go there, we need inside pressure from students that go there. they listen to their own students but ppl like me are outsiders, we could ring and e-mail them all day, it probably won't change their mind; extra details here www.mpacuk.org new venu will be at: Friends House 173 - 177 Euston Road Neares stations: Kings Cross or Euston. Venue is opposite Euston Station. salamz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
