First of All Ramadhan Kareem my brothers and sisters in Islam. I love this month I can't explain it but it's one month that
I am anger free........

I wish to be able to fast as many days as possible cause due to pregnancy I developed diabetes which lower my blood sugar. so I am hoping to fast the whole month if my health allows me. Also I hope that my hijab will be permenant lol even when ramddan is long gone. Another goal is for me to continue reading the koran regularly.

JallowBah:

Ko Jallow. Min ko Bakke. Hono innema?Honto hon da?

awaa Jallow min ko bah poulodjieri, komomi guinea kononong co senegal mimawnhi and djibina.

@ Fulaman I think if I try hard I'll be able to understand you I think some words u wrote there can be found in the fouta toro dialect though some sound like chinese to my ears lol I think u are good with the dialects I use to know 2 but now I know only one, the fouta djallon one. I understand JallowBah better than you is that funny?

maclatunji: ^Nice insights BahPulo, your husband did the right thing and it paid off. I would have said more but I had better not.

thanks

Yeah Macl is right AR= arranged marriages while LV= love, romance.... based marriages(especially in the begining). I'm not saying love is not important in a union but it is not a prerequisite for a successful marriage and sometimes the lack of it in the begining can even help the union survive longer cause those involve will investigate each other well before an agreement is made

snubish:

jazakAllahu khair, always nice to hear happy marital stories. I'm sure there's a lot to learn from your experiences. but you really scared the man. he must have been like "now I have to go and look for one stranger to marry, since I can't marry my friend".

lol thanks but on a serious note I was really crossed i always thought he would come to me to help him find a wife and I did try by hooking him up with most of my cousins but he always declined. I never thought he was eyeing me that way it made me feel st**pid I did not realise I guess I was venting my lack of attention on him. also he has a high score in my mom books and you know what they say that's always a plus.

JallowBah:

I have 50 cows, I lived in the bush with them. An ko pullo?

Ajarama..

your dialect sound similar to the one spoken in guinea conackry like onaala ton or the ajarama i did not know Gambian dialect was similar to that of guinea any way saaadima kotolli Djowo maong nolaba seeydhi jallow ka co bah?(just incase u r wondering it means u r welcome take a sit ur daughter is pretty jallow or bah ?)

deols: ^^ thanks sis. Dats exactly d kind of perspective I want on ds. In most cases, ds happens wv people uv known at some point in life. And for so many reasons, u thnk they wld at least be good to u.

In dat situation, u start thnkn, is Love really a prerequisite to the happy ever after?

you welcome sis. you know I really don't think love is a prerequisite to the happy ever after. I have noticed that arranged marriages tend to last longer than those based on love in the beggining only. I think in AR marriages research is done by both parties before an agreement is made while in LM the parties involve are blinded with their feelings just for them to discover that what they thougth to be enough is not anymore. I personally don't believe that a person can love another without living with that person for sometimes. like they say love may be blind but it's not stupid unless it is lol

I don't know why some nigerian fulanis call themselves 'hausa fulani' that's their rights and business. I just don't want to be called anything but fulani.

deols: wat d'u guys think of going into marriage without L.O.V.E

imagine a situation where
he is from a good home(most importnt Reason u'r considern it)

cute, and I mean it . Some other girls are after hm but u just arent too bothered about that

has a good career wv a future that appears bright

crazy about you and makes u aware of that

Muslim.doesnt do bad bad thns(or so u thnk) and prays five a day, fasts ramadan, etc

but u just arent feeling that way.

If u'r male, just change d he to she and d his to her nd tell me if u'd go for d relationship.

my answer will be yes I will married such man and I did. My husband and I were childhood neighbors, we were friend very close ones and everyone around us use to tease us. while growing up I never thought he had those kind of feelings toward me cause i just loved him like a sis loves a brother. when he told me the first time on his 18 th birthday I stopped talking to him, I was furious with him that he would be so selfish to destroy the friendship we had for some 'silly' love. I cut him off i blocked his email from my contacts and refused to answer his calls. But my mother being a wise woman made me see that What I was looking for had been answered longtime ago. Any way to cut the story short a year later I accepted his offer and I must tell you there has not been a day I wondered if I made the right decision. But then even as a young girl i always thought love was overrated just my 2 cents

muhammadsaheed: I need a muslim lady, young (23-25yrs), elegant, light in complexion, averagely built and prefarable from d north. Must have education or be in school. Please email muhammad_saheed@yahoo.com. I am ready for a serious relationship. I am in my late 20s, working and earning well, alhamdulillah.

this post is soo funny that's how most of my people see marriage, I mean they are ready to marry you the 1 rst day they set their eyes on you, no courting... single muslim ladies answer him lol

maclatunji:

Human beings are capable of the most heinous crimes, it goes beyond religious affiliations.

soooo true and of all God creatures human beings are the only ones that kills their fellow beings for sport or enjoyement. the other creatures do it for need . it makes you question the saying man is the 'intelligent' animal.

this is one news that won't make it on the pages of CNN, BBC, or any of the western news organization. it does not help their cause of negating Islam. Any way may The Almighty help the victimes and give the government of Burman a way to handle this crisis.
