I see a rainbow

From the bridge near Oldham College that has like half the windows smashed.

The rainbow was one of the brightest that another passer by had seen and you could see the full arc clearly - too bit though to get captured in a photo.

Bad weather Monday

Well, today was not the best of weathers we have had.

I got caught standing in a shop door trying to stop the hailstones killing me.

I can categorically state that I did not (consciously) provoke their rage.

And then later on, I saw a rainbow. A passerby noted how it was the brightest rainbow he had seen in years - there was a full arc.

But my phone camera is not too good in showing the bright colours - it washes such things out (like when I took a photo of some traffic lights and instead of neon red and green, they came across as closer to faded out white).

Hail stones

Hailstones on the floor after - suddenly and without any obvious provocation - they started to attack me. Bad hail stones.

I had the last laugh though - see how they are laid across the floor as I was still standing? Muwahahahaha

I believe Allah guides my hand while im writing this.

Exception why didnt you write today?
Maybe it's because she got nothing to say.
If there was a thought in my mind i'd find a way.
To paint a picture only my words could display.
Forget the word rapper, just call me an artist.
The words to my songs will show where my heart is.
Its hard to say things that mess up in your head.
Its hard to erase things you wish you never said.

Regrets fill my mind, in a way i can't describe.
My lifes like a rollercoaster, but i aint ona ride.
SO many days that i wish that i could just hide,
But never was there a true fact that i denied.
Some people hide from the truth, as if its a fear.
Not something i understand i've never come near.
An ohnest tongue is a blessing, so the ohnest i respect,
The things that i say my actions will reflect.

SAHIL SAEED- HOME AT LAST!

Kidnapped British Boy Back Home At Last

The five-year-old boy who was kidnapped in Pakistan and held for almost two weeks is back with his family in Britain.

Covered in a blanket, Sahil Saeed was carried in through the back door of the family home in Oldham by his father Raja.

The youngster later made a brief appearance with his parents on the doorstep of their terraced house.

He appeared tired and rubbed his eyes at the blaze of flash photography that greeted him. A few seconds later they went back inside.

Sahil and his father had earlier flown to Manchester on a flight from the Pakistani capital Islamabad. They were taken from there to Oldham in a police convoy.

‘Equal but different.’

Discuss how adequately this sums up the relationship between males and females in Islam.

Many people believe that because of the similarities between men and women, they should be, and are, completely equal and should be treated so. Other people however believe that because of the natural physical and mental differences, they can never be fully equal and that should be respected. Other people however, maintain that equality is an abstract relative concept and so full equality can never be achieved because we’ll never agree on what constitutes true equality.

(Essay) Explain why there are different understandings of the role of women in Islam.

There are many ‘misconceptions’, all over the world, about the Islamic understanding of women. Misconceptions is emphasised because the nature of the Qur’an and Sunnah is such that it is so complex and intricate that it is open to many interpretations. However, on certain things, the Qur’an or the Sunnah make it completely explicit, for instance that men and women are equal in the eyes of God because souls are without gender

Also, many people in ‘the west’ take the treatment of women in ‘Muslim’ countries to define how Islam commands women be treated, however some of this is more cultural than religious. In fact, Muslim women have had rights for over 1400 years that were only granted to Western women in the 19th and 20th centuries.
