Change effected

I was just reciting my daily dose of Ramadan Quran and came accros this verse. Interesting

"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.
And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses."
Q 5: 82-83

I ve got 'cold', my wife has got it, I visited my mum she's got it too, her friend also has it. Is there any body battling with cold and fasting?

BahPulo:
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.

Allah bless u sister, and ur unborn baby. And may he relieve u of ur ailment for the barakaat of this month.

Well u can share any expirience as the days go by. May Allah accept our fasting.


*I just missed suhr..

Ehen, as I was saying.... U should have seen the number of new faces in our mosque, u would think we were visited by angels in human form! So after my post subhi sleep I woke up around 9 am (took a day off from work) my wife insisted I drive her to the city suburb for a formal engagement, she managed to convince me to take her (she ended up spending the whole day there, almost costing us our dinner ). Well while driving back I saw a MR MIGGS and thot to myself " why not just drive in and have launch since my wife will be out all day" I had just packed when I realised - dude, u r fasting, common. Phew! That was close.... But then I remembered a Hadith which said who ever eat forgetfully while fasting he should stop as soon as he remembers and he should continue fasting, it was Allah that fed him.... Well I guess in my case Allah almost fed me, alhadulillah nonetheless....

*to be continued (after my taraweeh prayers)

^^ good for u.......



ALLAH BLESS MY WIFE FOR PREPARING SUCH A TASTY IFTAAR

*to be continued

I woke up past 4 am I met my wife already eating suhr (pre Dawn meal) I was like "ehen! so ur plan was not to wake me abi" but apparently she had tried to wake me like 3 times earlier.
Then we went for subhi prayers (Dawn prayer) the mosque was suprisingly full, in previuos days only 2 to 3 rows of the 7 rows in the mosque were filled, but today the mosque was so filled additional rows had to be created outside call it Ramadan fever
... To be continued (I need to go break my fast) ?

the prophet used to say upon sighting a new moon:
" Allahu akbar, Allahumma ahillahu alaina bil amni wal eemaan, was salaama wal islam, wat taufiq lima tuhibbu Rabbana wa tardaa, Rabbuna wa Rabbuk-Allah.

meaning:
Allah is most great, O Allah bring us the new moon with security and faith, with peace and in islam, and in harmony with what our Lord loves and what pleases Him. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah

(At-tirmidhi)

I know the answer is the owner! But common on my android touch phone the font size increase makes sense. But using my iPad (which is what I use most) it's affecting my eyes and making me dizzy.

The cost outweighs the benefit. With the former smaller font size you can zoom in using any mobile device, but with this eye poppin font size I can't zoom out with my iPad and it's affecting my eyes.

I haven't actually gone through all of the thread, that's because am saving it for the best time Ramadan. But the thot of being up here makes me happy so that even if u are away for a while I can still click and read. Jazak- Allahu-khair.

@Nike that's good, I hope u attain it,
@ fellis it's not a must, but believe like anything in life it helps to have a road map

Well it's a rhetorical question, but u can share yours also. I have two main oness.

1. Fulfilling the five daily prayers in JAMA AH (congregation)

2. Finishing the Quran at least twice..

I will limit mine to that for now, may Allah help us all.

May Allah ease your plight. Also on ur part increase ur azkaar like "lahaula wala kuwwata illa BILLAH" when u drive rather than listen to boring FM musics keep reciting it, or when u walk to the mosque recite rather than walking quietly, and on ur numerous spare time....

What level of IQ does it take guys to understand that the article was written by an aminu sarki and shared by elrufai on his wall? Geeez, guys think b4 u type, or at list look b4 u type, and the first sentence explains that.

*silly question how should we know?

I wonder o. anyone who knows a little gorlogy can predict armagedon on the circumpacific region or the "ring of fire" as it's known. That place is well known for it's geologic activity. So unless he can be precise, it's just story

Mai-suya:
I guess I'll watch it for 45mins and then ENGELAND...

But thinking out loud- what has he got to say even?

Oh the only problem is, I will be watching it at a garden on a GIANT screen with people every body arguing their heads off except NTA has a live streaming site where I can whatch on my iPad - then it's good luck mr president u seem to be on ur own on this one..

I guess I'll watch it for 45mins and then ENGELAND...

But thinking out loud- what has he got to say even?

...... Just my dilemma

Amin * times* 150 million

Ya Allah, whoever is behind this madness, killing of innocent lives and destruction of properties, no matter how high or low, how powerful or strong, Muslims, christians or pagans, Northerners or Southerners, no matter their political allegiance or tribe, may God almighty expose them, humiliate them and put them to shame in this world and the next----------- BECAUSE THE OPPRESSED, SUPPRESSED, DEPRESSED AND GANG-RAPED POOR PEOPLE OF THIS LAND DO NOT DESERVE THIS FATE TO FURTHER COMPOUND THEIR MISERY AND AGONY. ALLAH YA ISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this on my Facebook page and thanked Allah that I am married to my beautiful wife before this new trend....

THE NEW AND ENHANCED VERSION OF KAYAN LEFE MUST INCLUDE (but not limited to): 12 AKWATI MAI TAYA MAQIL DA KAYA, 1 APPLE LAPTOP, 1 BB PORSCHE, 1 IPHONE 4g, HONDA 2008 OR ABOVE, KUJERAN MAKKAH, HONEYMOON IN DUBAI; AND OFCOURSE $10,000 DOWRY. ANYTHING SHORT OF THAT.... WALLAHI KAR KU YADDA, KENAN MIJIN BE SHIRYA BA...

I am sure this is not far from the truth of what some sisters/mothers demand (especially in the north)

Wai! Thank God again

Because it is not my culture!

Am enjoying this fact based exchange by both sides. But let me make a suggestion to the tiarabubu and tbaba team. How about you base the arguments on factual proving of disproving of points made.

FOR EXAMPLE TBABA POINTED TO

. Vegetation appeared before the sun (Gen. 1:11–12), (P.s: the whole creation story),
Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees (Gen. 11:31)(Ur of the Chaldees did not exist until about the eighth century B.C.,about one thousand years after the time of Abraham.)

The tiabubu team can provide evidence that tha above is fact and tbaba is wrong (and not arguments like the Muslims also believe similar things )

maclatunji: ^Questions

1. How did you meet your wife?

2. How did you know that she is the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with?

3. Did she give you a hard time before she said yes?

4. How was transition into married life?

5. Has she surpassed your expectations or has she maintained the standard of character and other attributes that you saw in her which made you attracted to her?

6. What has marriage added that was not obtainable to you as a single Muslim man?

Ok, I didn't have an interview I mind when I created this thread, but nonetheless I will try to answer these questions at my own pace. (I'm travelling out of the country, so it will be hectic, I will be tired, and I may be offline. I just had a stop and saw this )

So I will start by a general comment.

My wife is the most loving, caring and beautiful woman I have ever met. And all these are no eulogies, they are die hard facts!

1. We met some 5 yrs before we got married, then she was seeking admission and I was in my first yr in uni. During this period the relationship endured a lot, from detractors telling me that girl is not worth u, to my stay abroad for further studies. It also endured other suitors both within and outside the country. So all in all it was a tough battle but one worth fighting for...
