As Mary Pickford said: You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Although some of our dreams and ambitions do come true, for which we are forever grateful and appreciative of, there are times when we experience failure from time to time. It happens.

Things don't always go the way we want. We sometimes spend countless hours planning for them and they don't turn out to be like that. But it's what we do with that 'failure'.

have you ever thought that the scariest thing is yourself? have you ever been scared of yourself?

i get scared of myself sometimes, when i know something is bad for me but i still want to do it and i have to keep myself busy and tell myself why i shouldnt do it over and over again.

its like a battle of wills. inside of you. a tug-of-war. inside of you.

freaky.

Looks like anyone using Xbox One will have to pay an extra fee to play used games.
Not cool.

"Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him."

Hope everyone's well inshaaAllah

I'm looking to buy a Kindle because there's a PDF version available for almost any Islamic book but some PDF's are easier to read on the Kindle (or any other reader I'm guessing) from what I've read so did some digging and I came across this  how to geek article on converting PDF's to ebook format: http://www.howtogeek.com/69481/how-to-convert-pdf-files-for-easy-ebook-reading/

Pretty neat I must say. Anyone here have a Kindle?

If you have read or watched the news over the past few days, you will have read about protests in Turkey.

They started over an infrastructure project over a park but when the Police went in forcefully, they spread and became massive.

A lot of people have wondered if this is an extension of the "Arab Spring", and that this is "the voice of the people rising up against their authoritarian regimes".

As the protests have taken journalists by surprise, there has been some loose talk and weak attempts to understand what is happening in Turkey. Others have tried to give the normal voices to the protesters.

Hezbollah is a large millitant group mostly based in southern Lebanon with a goal to resist Israel.

It had large popular backing when until around 2000, Israel had occupied southern Lebanon. It got a lot of support from the people on the street, and the governments of Syria and Iran.

It has also been involved in two conflicts with Israel since the Israeli withdrawal, but still enjoyed widespread support as "Legitimate resistance" and also for being a thorn in Israel's side.

The people of Syria supported Hezbollah almost totally, and this was helped by the fact that the regime also supported Hezbollah as its trump card to hit Israel should any hostilities arise with Israel or its allies.

The people of Syria gave them shelter and support.

I'm just using this post to learn. 

You can stop reading if you like.

The aftermath of the brutal attack of Lee Rigby has led to many heated discussions and debates regarding the role that Islamic Institutes and Mosques have in tackling extremism. 

Many leaders and scholars have condemned this horrific and appalling attack and as David Cameron, rightly said, whilst standing outside Downing Street: 'This was not just an attack on Britain - and on our British way of life. It was also a betrayal of Islam and the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act...'.
