Summer Blog #1 - a co-incidental miracle.

I've decided to start blogging again. Well actually I decided months ago, but only just getting around to it. I'd love you guys' opinions on my thoughts, even if you disagree. and if you think that your opinion doesn't matter, you're wrong :]  Tbh if no one comments on my blogs, I'll just lose heart and stop doing them cos I'll feel a bit stupid :L 

Towards a United Israel?

Israel has a population of 5.9 million (Israeli) Jews.

There are are also 1.6 million Israeli arabs.

The West Bank holds 2.6 million Arabs and Gaza hold 1.6 million Arrabs.

Total all that up and you get 5.8 million Arabs. They also are growing at a faster rate.

So what should be sought is 1 vote for 1 citizen there and if that was achieved, all would be golden.

Time for me to get married

So - it's about time I got married.

I found a woman who was willing to take me regardless of the mess I was.

So, I went to her to get married. Arranged everything (food, guests outfits etc etc)

Then came the day of the Nikkah. The Imam said "How much "Haq Mehr" you putting down?"

I thought "You what? what's one of those?"

So my dad said the amount while I still wondered what this was.

Sheepishly I asked "What is the Haq Mehr?"

So the Imam began to explain "It's a payment that a man makes to his wife before the Nikkah. It's purpose is to protect the woman. So that she has something to fall back on if the marriage fails. So she can get by for a bit until she sorts stuff out."

Because of YOU

Because of YOU, Islamic Relief has been able to make a difference to the lives of people around the world.

Food for thought

One day Bill Gates went to a restaurant. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal. When it was time to pay for it, he left a $10 dollar tip for the waiter.

The waiter, confused, asked "you're one of the richest men in the world and you only leave me a $10 tip. Your son came in last week and he left me $100"

Without thinking Bill replied "he's the son of one of the richest men in the world, i'm the son of a woodcutter"

the person in the yellow raincoat

today i met an amazing person. he wasnt quite a man, nor quite a boy. hr talked and talked and talked; everytime warming our hearts and defrosting our smiles. he makes the best train driver expressions and kept the carriage inforn on what the next station would be in the best manner. at first i thought he might get annoyed or angry if contradicted or not given the answers he'd like; but thinking abt it now, i dnt think he would have. he just ignores it and moves on. life is too short to.dwell on details. with his yellow raincoat and his amazing character i hope he makes a lot of people happy today and has a great time on his trip. and i.hope he makes it back in time home so he doesnt get in trouble. oh and i hope his brother's leg get bettrr soon

When Will You Be Prepared?

 

How do you know you’ll be alive tomorrow? How can you be so sure that you’ll take a second step? Most importantly, are you prepared for DEATH?

It’s not a theory or a threat. Rather it’s a FACT.

You will die one day.

Easy to say, complicated to prepare for.

You arrive in this world as a traveller. You breathe, eat, sleep, exercise, work…etc.  However, your destination will be your grave at the end of the day. How you get there, the actions you do and the ways you live your life-will determine your fate.

Life as we know it; is not easy. There comes a time where you will be tested. In fact, for a believer, this life is his prison, due to the fact its temporary and worthless, simply knowing the ‘bliss’ will not always last.

Blood Cancer

I never thought blood cancer was possible as blood cells are always refreshing themselves.

I don’t know much about blood cancer other than what I just Googled this morning.

It’s apparently known by people in the profession as Hematological Malignancies and once it’s in the blood it can also affect bone marrow and Lymph Nodes (whatever they are – haven’t had time to Google them yet).

I’m not a professional in this field, but it sounds serious as the blood and bone marrow are part of the immune system (I remember this from GCSE Biology). And once your imune system goes.....

Imagine going to the doctors and them telling you that blood cancer is what you have. Don’t know about you, but it would crush me to learn of such a thing.
