Well. It's weird. Uni that is. Everyone is weird. Lots of strangeness. A bit of talent. MY room is cold. AND my window could drop out any minute. BUT i have a towel heater. All is well. My phone pouch is missing. We have a random microwave which appeared from nowhere and no one admits to buying. My slippers squelch. MY feet got cold running through the grass at 1am in slippers. I have food though. So all is still well.
Goodbye.

Salam girls.
And non-existant readers.
And possibly non-existant girls.
It seems that Ramadan is upon us! So soon already! It seems just last week I was posting about my non-circular rotis, and the rest of the girls were excited about Living Islam Camp. But apparantly it's been something like, oh I don't know. Two years.
The very first post, by our very own Cricketgal was on the 16/04/05. I believe it was called "The Beginning"
"Salam.This is the begining inshallah.The begining of the BMP's. The begining of being a brit, a muslimah and proud.I am cricketgal and i will be your host throughout this interesting journey.hah, yeh.wasalam."
How time passes. Eh?
Now we're all up to different things. How scary is that? Cricketgal is off somewhere in foreign lands. A bunch of us are off to uni. z3d still has to pass her A-levels. Some are still GCSE'ing it ;)
Wow. Its weird, huh?
I still remember the days when I typed like a cat had sat on my keyboard. *wipes tear from eye* And we had a lovely thread on islamica. Now islamica is dead. And I learnt how to type.
This feels like a farewell post. Well who knows where life takes us. Two years ago Cricketgal, z3d and I were inseperable. (Metaphorically speaking of course.) Now we barely have super hyper three way convos.
OK, well enough negative (typing.) talk. Insh'allah you will all get what you want out of life. And good husbands too. Now salam. I need to find a cat, to sit on my keyboard.

P.S. Just so you know, I perfected my rotis. =)

Just for eid

They give you one hour breakfasts, then claim you're fat.
You massage their feet, but then their feet "hurt" in the night.
You watch a movie of their choice, then they claim its crap.
You teach them how to use their mobile, then they forget.
I Love my gran.

2006-12-26T14:40:00.000Z

i cried when watching cinderella.
i have officially gone soft.

But i dont care about the fact that i felt like hugging Sullivan in Monsters Inc. Coz that bear is so darn cute. Furryness all the way!

Yes... it is easy to forget that one has exams in January.

As you can see some changes have been happening round the street of brittistan.
fistly, Sapphireeeeeeeeeeeeee is now also administrator along side meself. We be chilling.

Secondly, yet another template change. Pink. Stars. Blame Saph.

Thirdly, we have a load of newbies in the house....so purlease do some intro'ing when u can.. inbetween the heavy study schedules i know yall have :P.

And fourthly, dont forget to check the day yall are celebrating eid..lol... May Allah forgive us all for our differences.. Saturday Sunday Saturday Sunday...subhannallah, this is worse than the bickering over Ramadhan dates, as the day of Arafat can only be one day...!! They will be united in Saudi... and yet the rest of the world will be once again in difference.

Anyhows, keep the peace.
And please remember me in ya duas!

Salam.

As yall can see, ( i cant at the moment as i aint wearing my double glazing) ....Brittistan has had a makeover. Though the old template took hours of my time...it must be addmitted, it wasnt on the positive side of good. It was quite bad. Inshallah as soon as i get more time [ which may inevitable be never] im gonna sort this one out a bit more. Until then, i urge you if you be reading this and are a BMP then post and if you are reading this and aint a BMP then coment here and i'll make you one, coz no one posts no more :(....

Ok, continue to remember me and all in your duas...Allah answers those to turn to Him inshallah. If not in this world then in the hereafter, so i sincerely pray we are all together in Jannah eternally and if you all make it and dont see me, please call my name and remember me :(....

Allahuakbar...

assalamualiakum,
hello,
shalom,
hallo,
bonjour

and many other greetings! 'Tis the one, the only, (and the most exquisite)Sapphire here.
and here i am to tell y'all a lovely story, about love, hope, sorrows and faith.

once there were three girls. The foundation of the bmp. all three were beautiful muslimahs, each one of them in their own way. They hd met in the most strangest of manners, united on islamicaweb.com by their colloquial manner of speaking. their names were:
Z3d;
Cricketgal;
and finally sapphire.
the three girls bonded as much as one could over the 'net. they shared their deepest, darkest secrets, delving into each otheres souls, and sharing what others might have thought as trivial things. They were as united as could be.

But over time the bond broke.
they saw little of each other online.
and now the bmp girls are seperate.
as seperate as the leaves on a branch.
united only by one thing.
their religion.
every once in a while, the wind blowing them close enough to touch. but then moving them away once more.

wsalam kids.
another story next time insh'allah :)

Dear Auntie Jums

2005-08-30T17:16:00.000Z

I was watching the chicken bits on the barbecue, you know, they were going golden brown, then started burning. Sure, barbecued chicken is supposed to be black crunchy and crispy. Well, i think i may be a pyro maniac or a knifomaniac because i enjoyed cutting up the chicken a bit too much, then...ummmm spent the next jour and a half watching the weeds in my back garden burn, after i accidently dropped burning paper onto them. Do i need mental help?

thank you for your cocern (too formal?) you don't know how much i value your friendship. its just once in a while bad thoughts run through my head and i can't help but entertain them. I'm not suicidal, by far, not a lost cause, its just there are soo many issues i have to deal with and i feel as if no one else would understand if i tried to talk to them about it. certainly not my family, i know it seems sad, i should give them a chance, but... i just can't. subconciously i feel distrustful and betrayed by them, thats actually another story all together. see when i was five i had a traumatising encounter, not as gruesome as it sounds but, bad enough.
i thought i was over it, but then its just another stone to toss at my family, and i don't mean my parents all the time, they just don't help, lack of communication does that to you. i feel guilty afterwards though, they're my parents they love me but they treat me like i'm still five and will never grow up, ever, its cute but its suffocating, i want out, and they are just making me more anxious. My mum, grew up without her mother or father, she was raised by her aunt, she lived on a farm worked from dawn till dusk and the only friend she had was her sister. i can understand where she is coming from but i'm not her, i will never be her because i'm my own person and she has trouble coming to terms with the fact that i'm eventually going to leave her.
She thinks that as soon as i have my chance i'll just tale off and never come back. Maybe, i know that sounds cruel, but i WILL leave. Ahe's my mother how can i abandon her.
sometimes i really wish she would talk to me, it's taken me years to figure out whats going on in her mind and whilst i've be doing that i've distanced my self.
No offense to anyone of my friends, its just recently i've come to accept casually touching, you know hugging. i find it soooooo easy to distance my self from everyone else, i'm stiff and collected. and apparently very good at acting. i can make people think i'm happy when most of the time, i know i'm not. But for now, everything is okay.
love yuz

Gosh, im thinking of doin janaza prayer for this webby, seems no one is around no more, gutted.

Yeh, living Islam was the rocks. I met lil miss Hijabi Shah...and maaaan oh mannnnnn....i think she must think the only word in me vocab is 'WOoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww'....lol.....and so must her sister. The two times i bumped into her ( first time i had to like act like i dint no who she was-mannnn it was straight afta a full on evening of blazing muslim entertainment....i was slowwwwified.....but yeh...apparently she thinks im a coolio....haha...and i think shes mashallah a gorjus princess....do whos next ta meet the princess and a coolio??? )...yeh so basicly, all i kept repeatin ( in screams and jumps ) was 'WOoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'...until i of course i realised i was gaining quite a bit of attention, so i opted for the safe 'Subhannalllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah' squeel instead...*rollseyes*...but Subhannallh i was jus like 'alhamdulilah this is totallt mashallah' throughout the whole camp, it really was a mashallah and inshallah for next time too event.

If yall wanna know more bout ma whacky experiences, not all of course, ok not most- im a lil too embarasing...always..., but if yall wanna know how it was, inshallah ima be putting up an essay i have assigned to myself soon, on my webby ( www.cricketing4islam.blogspot.com for all u unfaithful beings).

Hpow the rest of you? Sapphyyyyyy are the chappatis stil round?? Pakora-Jee...still lookin like a princess?? Kailaahhhhhhhh av ya finished HP yet? Whens ya wedding to him? Can i do ya mehndi for it yeh :P....Kalsoooooooooooom...u still alive huni?? inshallah..lol.

2005-07-12T09:46:00.000Z

This has been a busy week! even though i have no school anymore. so this is my daily routine....
wake up,
have breakfast,
take a shower,
get the siblings ready 4 school,
Start clearin up,
vacuam,
go on the net,
update my site,
visit brittistan n other blogs,
read quran,
watch a lil tv,
read a book,
have hifz class,
help my dad do stuff,
moan over wantin 2 go livin islam,
listn 2 nasheeds,
eat,
go 2 sleep.

So basically that's all. Im so annoyed these days, and yes those london blasts pays a big role as to why. Some world leaders make me sooooo sick!! i literally feel sick after looking at them. what's their problem, ill just never understand some ppl. how can u go around bombing so many countries? and when this happens, i mean of course this isn't a good thing, noone said it was a good thing, everyones upset about Thursdays event but why and how can this come as such a surprise to them. What du expect? I mean why are they making SUCH abig deal outta these bombs? of course their big, but this is gettin toooooooo much attention. 'we WILL catch those responisble' 'The bombers will NOT get away!' 'No one had a right to do this!' oh SHUTUP! That one day experience on Thursday is literally what people in Countries lika Palestine, Iraq, Uzbekistan, Bosnia, (and others) experience every single day. actually a few times day! We in london may not be feeling so safe on trains and buses but people in the middle east like those countries can't even feel safe in their own homes! I can't even imagine how they feel.
uh-oh ive posted too much haven't I?
Well, i was feelin a bit too annoyed today so i just sat on teh comp postin away, PMin ppl on islamica, and updatin my site ive actually managed to add a shoutbox! lolz
cya all
salaam,

.....My prayers are with london

Sane or Insane? That is the question

2005-07-02T15:52:00.000Z

I have officially gone haywire. My brain is fired!Melt down melt down! I don't need help, or therapy wat i need is some magic fairy dust *yeah in my dreams*. Make those idiotic people in my life vanish. I have lost nine games in a row can you believe that? of course you can?????
Calm.................maybe its the fact that i watch scary movies at night then write in my diary till 12, and wake up at 3:30, three hours of sleep, you'd be appalled at all the bad thoughts that go through my head.
I finally found my telephone cable, wat has this to do with insanity, its was driving me crazy, looking and worrying for the damn thing. But ist only a cable? no its not, its my cable and i found it hiding under my black skirt after i gave my room a manicure. the lesson to be learnt:keep your room tidy.
My books are driving me crazy!! theres this one book i WANT to buy but i can't because i told mum, i wouldn't buy any books for a while, no its not Harry Potter, its more entertaining, when i think up alternate endings in which Harry dear dies horribly *i wish*, or dumbledore gets fried by Hermione and her magic wand, or scenarios...you get the gist of it......
I'm don't feel insane anymore, i love you guys, you always have an answer to my problems!

Tell Me A Lie

2005-06-19T09:13:00.000Z

Tell me a lie
When promises kept
Are meant to be broken
To disentangle from a web
So intricately woven
Is so impossible a task
It is better left unspoken
And woe to who
Breaks promises meant to be unbroken
As it becomes ever harder
To disentangle from the web of lies
That is your life.

P.S: There are times when we don't want to hear the truth.

The Big Countdown

2005-06-16T15:02:00.000Z

Well... dunno about anyone else - but for Anjum and I (lol - sounds like a film), it's time for the good ole 3... 2... 1... yep, 3 more exams to go - Stats, French and History. Can hardly wait - can you? I can just sense the freedom =D

All Wound Up

2005-06-15T19:07:00.000Z

Yes... so... twas my cousins birthday today, henceforth reason for yet another enriching family gathering *cringe*... and as always someone has to wind me up so I feel like chucking my plate full of half-eaten goodies at them. How fun. Ever felt like it's only ever you? Man, it sucks. But like, I'm not the only one... and I feel sorry for my cousin too - poor thing gets double the crap I get... but hey, they wouldn't be your family if they didn't anger/depress/upset/annoy/confuse you senseless.

In other news... went for some "retail therapy" (as my mum likes to call it - as opposed to shopping which is so much easier to say but no, she has to be extra) today. Was alright-ish... got a(nother) skirt and two t-shirts and it's really at times like these when I wish I was earning for myself because I just know that my mum is going to use the cost of it all against me when I *cough* piss her off. Life would be a million times easier if I didn't have to depend on anyone... *sigh*

So, I'm all wound up - can you tell?

People say i'm not ok...

2005-06-15T12:11:00.000Z

Salam.

I start of with ...
Quote of the day : #Have You seen my childhooooood......
.......People say im not okkkkkkkkkkk#

Brownie points to whoever can tell me who sang that song. Anyone guess?...Brownie points are gettin scarce, you know you want yours.......noo...?.....i'll tell you..my dear ol' friend Mika'il Jameel, known to most people as Micheal Jackson, Wacko Jacko, didnt no how wacko he'd turn out to be when he was writing the lyrics to that song eh!!
Yeh so the brother (revert to islam inshallahhhhh) is now officially free. They were showing his whole after-trial blab on tv, which my brother was watching so intentley yesterday, and then popped up that song, over, and over, and over again. I was in hysterics, like major fits. The brother didnt know how right he was! And it is therefore, todays quote of the day!!

In other news, me and my dearest papa, just had this funny convo:

Paps : Look what i found *shows newspapaer*
Jumz : *Looks..blah*...oh yeh....(newspaper title-'More Lawyers are earning over 1 milion pounds now' -my dad wants be ta be a profesional liar..cuff lawyer )...I dont wanna be a millionaaireeeeeeeeeee
Paps : Why not?
Jumz: Bein' a millionaire is boring..hahahahhahahahaaaa
Paps : You children dont understand the value of money
Jumz : hah, *quick anjum, change the subject!!* you only buy those big broadsheet papers to look all buisinessy dont you....
Paps : No, i buy them coz im indian...they were free...

So much for value of money eh.
Hah, my dad is cute.
I bet your thinking,'everyone is cute to cricketgal'....hah...not true...calling people cute is a way of showin ma affection ( you hear that hafsaaaaaaa!! )and stop backbiting about me in your head!!!

Oh yeh, i had a maths exam too today. But no one cares about that.

Inciting Religious Hatred Blablabla...

2005-06-13T17:10:00.000Z

So...ummm... was flicking through the Independant today when my mother dear bought it home after work. I came across this in the Editorial and Opinion section, under letters to the editor. Just for some backgorund info (so you can actually understand it)... as most of us should know, there's a bill going through Parliament that says, in short, that you can't diss another persons religion. This also includes witches (wiccan), satanists, pagans etc etc... so this geeza writes in:

"In the 2001 census, 390,127 declared themselves as followers of the Jedi religion. Does this mean that a critical review of a Star Wars film (surely the Jedi equivalent of the Bible or the Qur'an) would fall foul of the religious hatred laws?" Mark Coton, Okehampton, Devon.

I just had to share that with you =D

My Grand Adventure

2005-06-13T11:29:00.000Z

Alright... Kalsoom wins - I couldn't stay offline, but I had the sudden urge to blog... and this is why...

So like... my opticians phoned on Friday before my exam to tell me my new specs were ready so I decided that today I would go and pick them up... alongside some stuff my mum wanted and also my happy pills (lol - kidding, my hayfever tablets).

So, this morning... got up, lazed about a bit, showered, got ready, hijabified and abayahfied myself and left.

Mistake number 1: Wearing my new Khusseh. Why? Well, these ones are not open back yet fit comfortably or so I thought... half way to South Harrow my feet start killing. It's too late to go back home and pointless anyway because it's not like it's Anjums wedding or anything that I need to make any fashion statements :P so; I continue walking.

Get my tabs etc.
My feet kill.

Get my specs.
My feet kill.

The back of each shoe is digging right into the back of my feet and also my pinky toes either side. Did I mention it killed?

And then, I begin walking back home. It was so tempting to take my shoes off in the middle of South Harrow and walk home bare-foot. I had had enough already. I turned into the station walkway dying, trying my best not to look anyone in the eye for fear of asking them if they happened to be carrying any foot plasters. I was walking pretty fast, which was bad and no better than walking slowly... and, for the first time in my life I saw this route as the worlds longest trek.

So like, then I turn into my road and think sod it... I just took off my shoes there and then and carried on walking. It was so relieving - for a moment... then I felt something wet on the back of my abayah and got as confused as hell. Don't laugh - but the only time the back of my abayah gets wet is when I step in a puddle... and I'm there thinking "it's a dry day... where the hell would a puddle come from?" So I was just like meh and looked at my Khusseh to see if they were wet or something and noticed two humungous red splodges on the backs of them. The wet stuff was blood. I was just like OK... there's me thinking I would have two inconspicuous bumps on both feet but no... they were bleeding. A lot.

So my trek continues... bare foot and there's some survey guy coming my way and I'm like, "alright Hafsa, you gots two options here... stop and put your shoes on or just walk past like all is normal" Either way I woulda looked like a pleb so I just carried on, handbag and shopping bag on one arm, handbag slipping away profusely and shoes in the other hand. I wish somebody had videoed me... I could send it off to Crimestoppers : "Have you seen this Moslem terrorist?"

So, anyways... I finally get home, run upstairs, empty my hands and go and analyse my feetsies. Wow... modern art or what? They were bleeding like no ones business... so I go clean myself up, disinfect my feet and bladiblah and discover that there aren't any plasters so I'm sitting here with extremely sore backs of feet and pinky toes that are very pink indeed. Somebody get me a plaster. Please.

As always... there is a lesson in this post: If you have big fat feet like Hafsa's, never ever, under any circumstances, try and be remotely stylish and wear Khusseh. Choose the never failing Aunty Jee flex: Chappals. You can't go wrong.

In other news.....well did any of you watch 'Dont panick, i'm islamic' ?, it came on today at 7pm. haha...mashalah...haah. well twas from loadsa muslims points of veiws ( Lord Ahmad, Salma Yakoob..to name a few )...bout their thoughts on being british muslims, and terorism and all. I thought, it was a real well thought out programme. Aity, sure there was that bit where they showed the suicide bombers and what not, but we expect that dont we, and then there was this other whacked out 'muslim' guy, who decided ta change his islamic identity to a jewish one, coz he wasnt getin no jobs and he thought living in britain and wearing hijab and not drinking was wrong, but then we expected that too.
But actually, i thought it was a decent programme showing the veiws of rational (apart from anti-hijab guy) and educated muslims.

One bit shocked me thoguh. they were on bout british terrorists, and they showed one newsreel...'Approximately 100,000 british muslims have had military terorist training'...me and ma mum started creasin, and i jus turned to ma older bro and was like 'is there sumin you aint tellin me bro'...haha....coz i mean really, is that the most crap you've heard or what.

And then they showed the bit were Bush is like' you either with us or the terrorists' and all the peopel were lyk....hmmm..'well i aint with you...soooo.....'....but really seeing his face after so long made me wanta spit.

alhamdulilah...any one else watch it-tghere was this cockney imam , he was a jokaaaa....yeh....any one watch it...anyone....anyone at all...???

Just A Note To Say...

2005-06-12T16:44:00.000Z

... Salaam.

So like, I thought I'd find out how my sisters were doing... hopefully chilling and relaxing if you're exams are over and if not slogging away, going into detailed analyses of which bright spark invented the ideology of doing exams to prove how clever clever people are and how dumb dumb people are. Oh, the fun.

MashaAllah, I came onto Brittistan today and there were loads of fresh posts that really cheered me up. That's what I love about being part of it all.

Nothing much more to report, haven't done any work whatsoever because there's been so much more other utterly pointless stuff to do, but InshaAllah, tomorrow the house'll be free and empty so I won't be as distracted with family and what not - also will try not to use the PC until I'm satisfied with the amount of work I've done. Ciao for now.

Ma-Assalaam.

You are the Heros Sword. You are a pleasant gift to
others. Youre noble and reliable to those you
trust. You are friendly to those who are
friendly to you, but someone who rubs you the
wrong way is in for a great deal of pain. You
make a good friend, and a great partner, but sometimes ppl do not see you the way you are, though that bothers you, you try and ignore it.

SPAM Specially Pressed American Meat

2005-06-11T10:18:00.000Z

I'm in a funny mood today. Who wouldn't be, with a giant orchad, less apples sitting on your head. Lucky for me, I have decided that i shall let it grow! Crazy idea, ne? When it already drives me crazy. Ok, i'm babblin', what i actually meant to talk about is SPAM.
No offense me fwendies but it gets real annoying when i get sent FW or chain mail. Its the same email, circulating around the very web, crazy ne? Very. Especially the wons that threaten you with bad luck for the rest of your already semi-miserable life, we don't need that! AND all those web hoaxs, i end up having to check out the information in most of them. E.G:Bill Gates and AOL merger...load of crappiness. And the Bonzai Kitten Crap, that really messed with me, my Bst Friend was gonna write a letter to the newspapers bout it.
Finally, Hackers and email viruses. Bloody hell! We have some really wacked out people living in this world. They need to go to school and get a job. Anyways wats the point in hacking into someone elses account? Only the less experienced would do that. Ok, if you think about it, most firewalls can be breached and we usually have less security on our PCs. Less than thos ein high tech facilities and banks.
We live in a society were doing illegal things is considered mostly cool. If Rules are meant to be broken, why do we even have them, there should be a law that makes breaking laws a crime. Wait a second, breaking a law is a crime but who cares. I myself have broken many rules and still do, even though i know the consequences, but that me, i have lots of faces most people don't see.
the title was stolen from my history book, under Britain in the second world war, Subheading Rationing. That my friends without any appropriate acknowledgements is a copyright infringement. I know bad Kai.
Bye bye.

Hope you're all doing well, inshaAllah - not too stressed and making the best of the lovely weather while myself and numerous others are cooped up in exam rooms writing til we have kinks in our fingers. So, I'm about half way through my exams and it's nearly the end of a weekful of exams - I can't believe it's already Thursday... the weeks gone so fast. Y'know, people were saying to me a couple of weeks ago that these exams'll be over before I know it. Well... they're not yet over but I gotta admit this week has sped by pretty fast and, though I don't feel a very strong sense of achievement, I still feel like I have accomplished a reasonable amount and haven't over-worked too much - in fact, I'm probably underworking but there we go. So yeah, right now I'm sitting in school next to Anjum and listening to a lovely Nasheed (but we dunno who it's by - lol) and now... I think I'm gonna surf a bit then go back to History revision :(

Ma-Assalaam.

Oh Allah! Make my tongue full of Your remembrance, and my heart with consciousness of You.

Oh Allah! You do whatever You wish, and You are my Availer and Protector and the best of aid.

To my best buddies! Shine!!!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

Twinkle, twinkle little star
High above, in the sky
Sprinkle stardust in my eyes
So I may twinkle and shine, like a star.

Cold

2005-05-13T15:53:00.000Z

urghhhh *shiver* its so warm but i'm so cold!, i've donned the socks, wrapped in my comfy teddy bear robe. maybe i'm sick. i hope not, last time i tried to get warm by going under the covers i fell asleep, yep and i don't think i will be able to revise with my eyes closed either, very hard. That and the fact that i've noticed i've been eating irregularly, blame it on the french..... how much i love but you cause me soo much strife!
Did you guys hears bout the baby incident? 'course not, well two days ago, i was given the task of looking after my aunt baby while she prayed in the next room. Well as you can imagine, being the busy person that i am, i carried on doing what ever revision thing i was doing, she pulled on my stereo, played with the on and off switchs, then i thought, no more. Revision that is. grabbed her and placed her on my bed, first wrong move, my bedd is V high , i went to pull my box full of my subject matter and she jumped! God it was soo scary, one minute she's on the bed, next she flies over my bent head and is lying on the floor, a load bang resounding through the room.!!! Damn! there is a lesson to be learnt from this, never leave little children with me, i will somehow mangae to injure them or make them cry REAL tears.

Permanent Break

2005-05-12T18:18:00.000Z

Yeah... that's what I'm on right now... my French Oral really did suck the life outta me - I have done absolute jack since and it's really quite bad... so like... I went to my Khalas today to try and study ('cause I have guests round mine) bladibla... got there bright and early - 8:30am to be precise - and I tried to do some Spanish but got bored then I did the unthinkable: Science... and I think it was the air in my Khala's house or something that made me do that 'cause me doing Science is a very rare sight indeed - the day something scientific actually goes into my head will be a public holiday... so yeah, then I got bored of that after about five minutes and watched some tele... then my Khala got home from her exam... and then my Nani came back from her walk... and we sat in front of the tele and before I knew it, it was 2pm! I was just like whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaa how did that happen?!?!?! But... umm... I did manage to get some cramming in after that and when I got home, I aksed my mother-dear to test me on my Spanish Oral.... and omg - it was so difficult to say anything! I'm blaming my French Oral for that 'cause the prep for that got me thinking in French and now I can't stop! But omg... it was so hard... my accent is just so messed up right now... and I think I'm gonna go cry into my pillow now because I have nothing left to say... *sob*

Lifted

2005-05-10T13:59:00.000Z

These four years have been the most incredible years fo my life. I've transformed into a person that I only knew existed in my daydreams and make believe. A chance to strat anew, who ever said high scholl changes your life, was right. I've been shaped into a stronger, confident Fowzia. No longer, extremely shy, quiet and nervous girl, i'm finally me! This journey has only begun, the road to self-actualisation is being walked but taken one step at a time.
In my notebook of memories, i've done something i've ever done before. Adapted. smiled and laughed everyday, felt special , felt as if my futurewas mine and no one elses. these i'll treasure, because mean while as i write this i'm thinking of all the influencial people in my life, but mostly, Hafsa, Chloe and Anjum.
they always saw me, not Fowzia, but ME, the girl who so desperately wanted her chance in the world and they did the most noblest thing. Even if they don't realise it themselves, they let her out.
And Rita. I see all my weaknesses in her, but i know somewhere lie all her stenghts. Now i've run out of words.

A Subtle Reminder: Backbiting Etc

2005-04-27T00:45:00.000Z

Firstly, let's get to know some of the Arabic terms regarding sins of the tongue:

Gheebah or backbiting means speaking about a Muslim in his absence and saying things that he would not like to have spread around or mentioned.
Buhtaan or slander means saying things about a Muslim that are not true, or in other words telling lies about him.
Nameemah or malicious gossip means telling one person what another said in order to cause trouble between them.

InshaAllah, we should all know that this is not a sin that we should take lightly (I have to be reminded quite often myself) and that there are severe consequences of any such action.

Allah (SWT) says in Surah 49 (al-Hujuraat), verse 12: "“neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful”

Basically, backbiting is the equivalent of eating the flesh of your brother/sister in Islam... and hopefully we all know that as well as backbiting, cannibalism is Haraam too! (Umm... that was me trying to make you laugh - guess I failed... again)

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do you know what gheebah is?” They said, “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Saying something about your brother that he dislikes.” It was said, “What if what I say about my brother is true?” He said, “If what you say is true then you have backbitten about him, and if it is not true, then you have slandered him.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2589)

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed by two graves and said, “They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used to walk about spreading malicious gossip (nameemah), and the other used not to take precautions to avoid getting urine on himself when he urinated.” Then he called for a green branch, which he split in two and planted a piece on each grave, and said, “May their torment be reduced so long as these do not dry out.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 213 and Muslim, 292)

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has wronged his brother with regard to his honour or anything else, let him seek his forgiveness today, before there will be no dinar and no dirham, and if he has any good deeds to his credit they will be taken from him in a manner commensurate with the wrong he did, and if he has no good deeds, then some of his counterpart’s bad deeds will be taken and added to his burden.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2317)

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
Whoever wrongs a person by slandering him, backbiting about him or insulting him, then repents, Allaah will accept his repentance, but if the one who was wronged finds out about that, he has the right to settle the score. But if he slandered him or backbit about him and the person did not hear of that, then there are two views according to the scholars, both of which were narrated from Ahmad, the more correct of which is that he should not tell him that he spoke against him in his absence. It was said that he should rather speak well of him in his absence just as he spoke badly of him in his absence, as al-Hasan al-Basri said: the expiation for gheebah is to pray for forgiveness for the person about whom you backbit.

These are just some excerpts from the Qur'aan and Sunnah regarding this matter. My source for this post was http://www.islam-qa.com. InshaAllah, I hope that it was helpful and if you have any further questions just post a comment and I'll reply as soon as I can.

InshaAllah, we should all remind each other of the consequences of this action and prevent ourselves and others from falling into this sin. I pray that Allah (SWT) keeps us from backbiting, slander and gossip and prevents us from being subjected to such actions. Ameen.

And Allah knows best.

I'm here. How exciting. Just yestyrday i had an interesting two minute conversation with Rita. We never have anything good to say to eachother, most of it is insults, arguments and silly emotion crap. Well this is how it goes:
Rita: Fowzia you're boring
Me: Well no offense Rita but you're boring too.
She looks at me blankly then turns away and smiles slightly
Me: (carries on) And two boring people don't really have fun together.

To tell you the truth we have this wierd relationship, we bemoan how horrid the world is listen to eachother, criticise eachother then go off on our merry way.There was that one time she called me too proud to ask for help when i need it. I know that, i give more easily than i take, long term habit of mine, not to mention the guilt. Another comment before i go, we all have power, power over our own choices, no one can make you do something you don't want to do, no one can turn you into something you don't want to be; that is unless you let them.

people suck... part two...

yes they really do.... between now and my posting a comment to part one my mums tailor phoned to find out whether or not me and rida got into st doms... bloody nosy cow - only cos her daughter got in (i also hate competition)... now i'm really annoyed... the only other time she phones is to tell us that our clothes are ready... grrrrrr.......

a word of advice: don't phone to find out whether i've got into the same college as your daughter - you will live to regret it...

A story

2005-04-17T21:02:00.000Z

Once upon a tym i was surfing the web. i lived in a happy happy world, full of of happy happy feelings and sweet sweet thoughts. I also had Homework to do. (jaws themetune plays quietly) i was doing my Religios Studies H/W. A project on Islamic Marriage Laws. So i did wat any otha person wud do i googled it. (themetune gets louder)whilst googling t i came across a link dat sed 'islamica community forums-how many kids u wanna hav' and that was the end of the world as i knew it. (themetune ends, Friends Themetune starts up)
I did the unthinkable. I registered. From then on i was hooked. It was lyk an adiction. i cudnt fite it. i had to giv in to it.
It was there i met Anjum. i also met many others....Jaysh, Jinnz, Anderson, General, Slmz, Hijabi Shah, P2BAM, i contiued my posting ad earned a flashy green neon bar. (rep point bar) i became close frends w/ anjum aka Cricketgal and was then invited to join this prestigious blog.
That is my lyf story so far. I shall update it as soon as sumfin intrestin happens.
thank u 4 listening & buh bye 4 now.
