Invisible Rope

">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LHWaUILKms]

Me and my friends tried this ^ Basically it looks like people are pulling a rope from either side of the rope so a car wouldn't be able to go past - but there's nothing there!

First time round, the driver just looked at us funnily and carried on as normal.

Second time round, the car slowed down.

They say "use your initiative". but what if you screw up?

Time - Day 1 – 28/06/11
Place – Outreach Centre based in the corner of a primary school playground.
Mission – work experience

Stapling, hole-punching, photocopying, counting, folding. I couldn’t possible tell you which one is my favourite. I mean, photocopying 1500 pages in bunch of 500 and having to sort them out in piles of 30 was quite a...how should I say it? Enlightening experience…

My first lot of 500 went relatively well… with no experience, I had printed out the 500 all in one go and carried them back to the centre where I then resolute myself to sorting them into groups of 30.

A delayed response

A Delayed Response

While talking to himself Ibn Al-Jawzi was blaming his soul in a gentle way. He said: I found myself in trouble, and so I made Du'aa consistently, all the while requesting relief and comfort. The response to my Du'aa seemed... to be delayed, and so my soul became disturbed and worried.However, I rebuked it saying, "Woe unto you; look attentively at yourself, are you the one possessed or are you the possessor? Are you the one that is controlled or are you the controller? Are you not aware that this world is the abode of tests for you? If you desire that your goals be fulfilled and become impatient when they are not, then, where is your test? Is it not the ultimate test when you get the opposite of whatever you desired?

The Buraq/ Thestrals???

Bit random but I thought i'll share this with you Biggrin

The Buraq is the animal who took the prophet Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) to the heavens during the journey of miraj. He is described as this:

Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me." ... "The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. ..."

—Muhammad al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Bukhari[1]
