Umar ibn al-Khattab, a companion of the prophet, said:

"One day we were sitting in the company of Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) when there appeared before us a man dressed in pure white clothes, his hair extraordinarily black.

There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last he sat with the Apostle (peace be upon him).

He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs and said: Muhammad, inform me about Islam.

Well, ladies and Gentlemen, we are ina new era. One where we have a coalition government. and the sky is faaling. Faaaalling.

But thinking back a bit, I remember thinking that the outcome of the elections would not be all that bad no matter who won.

So lets see what the Con Dem alliance can do for us, the citizens.

1. Repeal plans for compulsory ID cards.


2. Repeal the Digital Economy Bill.


3. During the process of neutering the BBC and Ofcom that the conservatives probably promised to Monseur Murdoch, it could turn it into a fighting force - a fighting force that requires less of a tv licence fee.

Alhamdulillah the second issue of Mum & Muslim is out now. There are quite a lot of articles on issues related to pregnancy, birth, children, parenting, education, creativity. The e-mag also does reviews of books, products and venues. There is also a forum which is very young indeed. Do have a look insha-Allah and let us know your opinion. We need writers insha-Allah.

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...
