Wasalam alikum sisters
I am a recent convert to islam and would love to chat to any of my fellow muslim sisters out there to broaden my knowledge and grow friendships...Inshallah. Feaman allah sisters
Well, they might be, who knows.
But one thing I did spot that could be good for Muslims (along with the idea that family is important, which I also agree with) was their pledge on schools.
People in a community can get together and get the government to pay for the formation of new schools.
now,this can be a good thing for Muslims whereif they feel existing schools are not catering to their needs, they can get together in areas with a significant Muslim population and get the government to make new schools that are more suited to their needs.
(I doubt they realised that Muslims could take advantage of this too)
Saw a monster in the mirror when I woke up today
A monster in my mirror but I did not run away
I did not shed a tear or hide beneath my bed
Though the monster looked at me and this is what he said:
He said "Wubba wubba wubba wubba woo woo woo"
Wubba wubba wubba and a doodly do
He sang "Wubba wubba wubba" so I sang it too
Do not wubba me or I will wubba you
Do not wubba me or I will wubba you
Told the monster in the mirror, "No, I am not scared"
Then I smiled at him and thanked him for the song that we had shared
Well, the monster thanked me too, he smiled right back and then
The monster in the mirror sang his song again
He said "Wubba wubba wubba wubba woo woo woo"
Wubba wubba wubba and a doodly do
He went "Wubba wubba wubba" so I sang along
i wrote this poem quite a while ago..(maybe more than a year, can't remember clearly) so even i dont understand some of the things i wrote, it was an english homework, an "extended metaphor", and I know it needs redrafting but I can't find those feelings anymore so I'm just going to post it raw, feel free to comment.
Dangerous Allies
I've been shot
------------------and it's dark outside
the pain is throb-throb-throbbing
streetlights too far apart
clar—ity
through the swallowing darkness
what's that?
Everything's blurred, mixed-up feelings
Pain, Night
Hallucinations, Shadows
Broken dreams, Suffocation
Scars, Loneliness
Seeing things that are not here.
This Confident Fear
the premature end is so close, so easy...
The number of Muslim MPs has doubled to eight in the closest elections in decades and saw the first three Muslim women – all Labour - elected to the 650-member House of Commons.
In addition, the first Conservatives have gained their first two Muslim MPs but the possibility of adding a third were dashed after Zahid Iqbal failed in overturning Labour’s 3,000 majority in Bradford West, northern England.
Thursday’s elections were marked by a swing from Labour to the Conservatives and resulted in one of two Muslim ministers, Shahid Malik losing his parliamentary seat for Dewsbury in northern England by just over 1,500 votes.
It's good to see most of the country coming out and voting. What an election night- it looks like a Hung Parliament since the 70's! The only shock I suppose is Lib Dem's winning so few seats. The Best news of all and the power of voting is the demolition of the BNP nationwide. The country has definitely spoken! The other worthy news is a first ever Green Party MP and Muslim MP Shaid Malik losing his seat. So what now for the country and has it been a good night for the Muslim Community? What are your thoughts on the Election Results and how did you vote?
A Message from The Revival Team: A reminder to ALL to VOTE today- if you haven't done so already! Voting is the best way to have your say and to make change regarding local and national issues that affect you!
Now if you have a BNP candidate in your constituency then it is CRIMINAL not to vote. Just vote for the party or candidate that you feel will serve your needs best.
