was thinkin abt this today wen i was out wit mum shopping... i was bein overly observant  (for once,lol) n was jus watchin like kids wit their parents n stuff...n like i saw this one kid clinging to her mum n pullin on her dupatta n stuff...n thot "omg, that was me wen i was younger" lolz...at the same time...thot "aarrgghh!! if my kids did that to me...i'd probs slap em silly" lolz... but then that makes u think...omg hw much patience do mothers hav wit their kids! subhanAllah! its amazing! i mean like, i kno there can b times wher ur mum will lose her cool n hav a go at u...but like...i think abt it n think... eugh ive not been a very good daughter...n like shes put up wit me for the last 21 yrs!!

its amazin to think that no matter wat u end up doin.... or like even if ur not the best of kids (i kno im not...thers a lotta things me n mum disagree n argue abt)... ur mother still doesnt give up on u..u mite b the most annoyin, fussy, rude child... maybe not even a child...cud b mayb a 20+.... yet no matter wat... she still loves u!.... nw thats a lotta love...n its like one thing ppl dnt think abt n dnt appreciate...

i think today was jus the cutest thing eva...like mums always on at lil bro abt eatin properly...hes a growin boy...n its ramadaan...so ofcourse shes gna worry more...n hes like "aargh stop tellin me off..stop shoutin at me" n silly things like that.... n i cant rememb why.... but i started singin that lil nasheed to him...cos....well...im not sure why.... think the thing is... is that even tho it mite b a kiddies nasheed....it so rings tru!!

im gna go look for the lyrics n paste em ere...

Pyaase ko ek katra paani kaafi hai...

Ishq mein chaar pal ki zindagi kaafi hai...

Dubne ko samander mein jaaye kyu...

Unki palkon se tapka woh paani hi kaafi hai...

 

 

Husn ke collection me hum tumhara naam lenge...

Teri pyaar ke ek misaal denge...

De saku khuun ka aakhri katra bhi..

Woh tere pyaar me baha denge...

 

 

Bhulaakar toh dekho ek baar hume...

Zindagi ki har adaa tumse ruth jayegi...

Jab bhi tum sochoge apno ke baare mein...

Tumhe humari yaad zaroor ayegi...

 

 

 

Kismat se sabko shikaayat kyun hai...

Jo nahi mil sakta us se mohabbat kyun hai...

Kitni mushkilein hai dil ki rahon mein...

Phir bhi dil ko uski chaahat kyun hai...

 

 

 

Dil ki dhadkan ko dhadkan ko dhadhka gaya koi...

Mere khwabo ko mehka gaya koi...

Hum toh anjaane raasto pe chal rahe the...

Achaanak pyaar ka matlab sikha gaya koi...

lyrics to a song i heard like aaages ago....good stuff!!!

Verse 1

Uh
It seemed like any other day
The hustle and the bustle people
Went their own way
They had a Different destination
but the same fate
A journey from the underground
To the pearly gates

N All I that I can say
Is Rest in Peace to those that passed Away
for the families and friends in dismay we pray

Y'all gotta be brave
Our loved ones in
A better place
Even though their life cut short
By greed and hate

Not by greed of a faith
Aint no faith of hate
Islam,
Make no mistake
Its a religion of peace
Islam

As long as we can make a change
Stop this from happening again
Their deaths wont be in vain
Now can we

Chorus
Tell me can we grow now
Maybe we can grow now
Tell me can we grow now
Maybe we can grow
(U.K.)
Tell me can we see now
How we gotta be now
Learn to Embrace n not hate
N we can Grow
X2

Verse 2
Yo its just perverse
Its never the ones that
Cause the wars
That get caught up in the storm

In the end its You and I
The average people
That pay the price
with our lives
While em government
Officials sit by

They stay safe
While we the ones getting slain
For catching a train
On the way to work
To get paid

Lets be straight
The Governments in-part to blame
For July 7 coz of the decisions they made

But wait
Then we got them damn clerics of hate
Equally to blame
Brain-washing the youth is their aim
They dont represent Islam
They represent terror and pain
Thats why they kill Muslims
In their campaign

Chorus
 

Verse 3

We lost so much on the day plus theres the aftermath
People are nervous today come on lets face the facts,
No Asian can be unshaved n with a rucksack
And make his way on the tube n not get looked at

Its just the way it is
Each man turns to another says the blame is his
Misunderstandings cause fear its the way it is

Huh
Whats the hope of getting along
Until we understand each other and the fear is gone

Until em groups like the BNP cant provoke
For hate crimes, race fights to rise by 6 Fold
Can we Grow?
Only if the finger pointing stops
coz to make a change will take all of us

Can we GROW?
ONLY if the finger pointing stops
Coz to make a change will take ALL OF US

Chorus

thought abt the previous blog...n realised i wasnt thinkin wit a "thanda dimaag"... cos like, wen things happen....thats wen ur overcome by emotions n alotta time, can b irrational n think wrong...felt hurt n confused as to why i was ignored... but at the same time...too stubborn to call or text askin for an explanation....why shud i....? im not the one in the wrong....

but...wit a lil help from a friend (thanku sami...lub u sis )... i understood why i was feeling hw i was... n yeh, i was hurt by wat the person had done...but i neva thot abt the reasons why they may have done so...

so like mayb now it does make sense.... cos... if u'v said goodbye to sumone (for wateva reasons) n u dnt think ur eva gna see em again...but then u do them....then maybe the best thing to do is ignore...cos like u dnt wana go thru all that again....like "all that" meanin explanations, n jus havin to go through the process of goodbyes again....n maybe jus cause even more hurt...n jus try n do the right thing...

so....maybe the ignoring is justified..... well...this is the conclusion that ive come to..

mayb im right...mayb im wrong... i'll never kno....

but eitha way... im not holdin any grudges... neva can...

a note before i end... theres that quote that goes sumthin like ur friends are the family u choose for urselves....n this person really was more family than a friend...

Wonder what would happen if we treated our Qura'an like we treat our cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?(ie different cover & size)

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Qura'an ?
Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cellphones, we don't ever have to worry about our Qura'an being disconnected because Allah s.w.t. already paid the 'bill'!

Salman (R.A) reports: 'And perform in this month four things in great abunadance, two through which you shall please your lord, and two without which you cannot make do. As for the two through which you shall please your Lord, they are that you should (repeat) the shahada that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that you should beg forgiveness of  Allah. And as for those without which you cannot make do, they are that you should ask of Allah Paradise and seek refuge in Him from the fire.'

The Prophet (S.A.W) said, "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadhan with faith and hope for reward (from Allah) will be forgiven all his past sins and whoever stands in worship with faith and hope for reward (from Allah) during the night of power will be forgiven all all his past sins" [Al-Bukhari, Muslim]

Jabir (R.A) relates that RasulAllah (S.A.W) said: " in every day and night during Ramadan, there are people to whom Allah grants freedom from the fire, and there is for every Muslim a supplication which will be granted" [Al-Bazzaar, Ahmad & Ibn Majah]

May Allah Ta'ala unveil to us the secrets of Ramadhan & may we be amongst those who make the most out of this month in which lies a night which is better than a thousand months. Ameen.
*Pleeeeze include me in your duaaz*

 

 

 

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watchAmerican shows on a Japanese TV.

And the most British thing of all? ... ... ... Suspicion of anything foreign.

Oh and...... - Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than
an ambulance.

Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions - while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.

Only in Britain...   do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen call and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

NOT TO MENTION...

3  Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on  their tongue.

142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.

18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of Control Scalextric cars.

And finally.........In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

 

I am proud to be British

IF YOU ARE PROUD TO BE BRITISH THEN U'LL REPOST THIS!

(We might be British, but hell we are a funny lot)

 

 

 

LESSON 1: Gaining Taqwaa
Allaah legislated fasting for gaining taqwaa, "O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed upon you as it has been prescribed upon those before you, so that you may attain taqwaa." (meaning of Soraatul Baqarah (2):183) Taqwaa in this case means to make a shield between oneself and Allaah’s anger and Hellfire. So we should ask ourselves, when we break our fasts, ‘Has this fasting day made us fear Allaah more? Has it resulted that we want to protect ourselves from the hellfire or not?


LESSON 2: Drawing closer to Allaah
This is achieved by reciting and reflecting on Al-Qur’aan during night and day, attending the taraaweeh prayers, remembering Allaah, sitting in circles of knowledge and, for those who can, making `umrah. Also for those who can, making I`tikaaf (seclusion) in the last ten nights of Ramadaan, so as to leave all worldly pursuits and seclude oneself in a masjid just thinking of Allaah, so as to bring oneself closer to Allaah (SWT). When one sins, one feels distant from Allaah. That is why one might find it hard to read the Qur’aan and come to the masjid. However, the obedient worshipper feels closer to Allaah and wants to worship Allaah more, because he is not shy from his sins.


LESSON 3: Acquiring patience and strong will
Allaah has mentioned patience more than seventy times in the Qur’aan and has commanded patience in more than sixteen ways in His Book. So when one fasts, and gives up one’s food and drink, and one’s marital sexual relations for those hours, one learns restraint and patience. This Ummah needs men and women that are strong willed, who can stand upon the Sunnah and the Book of Allaah and not waver in front of the enemies of Allaah. We do not need emotional people, who just raise slogans and shout, but when the time comes to stand upon something firm, they cannot do so, they waver.


LESSON 4: Striving for Ihsaan (righteousness and sincerity) and staying away from riyaa’ (showing off)
Ihsaan means to worship Allaah as if one sees Him, and even though one does not see Him, He sees all. Hasan al-Basree said, "By Allaah, in the last twenty years, I have not said a word or taken something with my hand or refrained to take something with my hand or stepped forth or stepped back, except that I have thought before I have done any action, ‘Does Allaah love this action? Is Allaah pleased with this action?' So when one is fasting, one should gain this quality of watching oneself and also staying away from riyaa’ (showing off). That is why Allah said in a hadeeth qudsee, "Fasting is for Me and I reward it." (al-Bukhaaree) Allaah singles out fasting from all other types of worship saying, "Fasting is for Me", because no one knows whether you are fasting or not, except Allaah. For example, when one is praying or giving charity or making tawaaaf, one can be seen by the people, so one might do the action seeking the praise of the people. Sufyaan ath-Thawree used to spend the nights and the days crying and the people used to ask him, "Why do you cry, is it due to the fear of Allaah? He said, ‘No.’ They said, "Is it due to the fear of the Hellfire?" He said, ‘No. It is not the fear of Hellfire that makes me cry, what makes me cry is that I have been worshipping Allaah all these years and doing scholarly teaching, and I am not certain that my intentions are purely for Allaah.’"


LESSON 5: Refinement of manners, especially those related to truthfulness and discharging trusts.
The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "Whoever does not abandon falsehood in word and action, then Allaah (SWT) has no need that he should have his food and drink." (al-Bukhaaree) What we learn from this, is that we must pay attention to the purification of our manners. The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "was sent to perfect good manners." (Maalik) So we must check ourselves, are we following the behaviour of the Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him)? For example: Do we give salaam to those we don’t know and those we do know? Do we follow the manners of Islaam, by telling the truth and only telling the truth? Are we sincere? Are we merciful to the creation?


LESSON 6: Recognizing that one can change for the better
The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "Every son of Adam sins and the best of the sinners are those who repent." (Ibn Maajah) Allaah provides many opportunities to repent to Him and seek His forgiveness. If one was disobedient they can become obedient.


LESSON 7: Being more charitable
Ibn `Abaas said, "The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) was the most charitable amongst the people, and he used to be more so in the month of Ramadaan when Jibreel used to meet him on every night of Ramadaan till the end of the month…" (al-Bukhaaree) The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "He who gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will receive the same reward as him, without nothing being reduced from the fasting person’s reward." (at-Tirmidhee)


LESSON 8: Sensing the unity of the Muslims
The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "…Those of you who will live after me will see many differences. Then you must cling to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided khaleefahs. Hold fast to it and stick to it." (Aboo Daawood) In this month we sense that there is a possibility for unity, because we all fast together, we break fast together, we all worship Allah together, and we pray Salaatul-`Eid together. Therefore we sense that the unity of Muslims is possible. It is possible for Muslims to be a single body, but this will only be achieved when obedience is only to Allaah and His Messenger.


LESSON 9: Learning discipline
The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) made us adhere to discipline and strictness, strictness that does not lead to fanaticism or going outside the bounds that Allaah has laid down. One cannot knowingly break the fast before the sunset, as this will not be accepted by Allaah. Muslims should learn to be very strict in their lives, because they are people of an important message, which they mold their lives around.


LESSON 10: Teaching the young to worship Allaah
It was the practice of the people of Madeenah, that during the fast of `Aashooraa (which is now a recommended fast of one day) to get their children to fast with them. When the children would cry of hunger and thirst, their parents would distract their attention by giving them some sort of toy to play with. The children would break their fast with their parents. (as mentioned in al-Bukhaaree).


So the young should be brought to the masjid(if not a disturbance) and they should pray with their parents, so that they are able to get into the habit of becoming worshippers of Allaah. If one does not encourage children to fast when they are young, they will find it very difficult to fast for thirty days at the age of puberty. This is why the Prophet (may Allah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "Command your children to pray at the age of seven and beat them at the age of ten (if they do not pray." (Haakim)


LESSON 11: Caring for one’s health
Fasting has many medical benefits and it teaches Muslims to take care of their health and to build strong bodies. The Prophet (may Allaah send His blessing and peace upon him) said, "A strong believer is better and is more beloved to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in everyone." (Muslim)
