Wrong Imam, right outcome

I know it’s not really safe. But there’s not many cars about. From glancing down I noticed it’s  a text message from Shabeer, I haven’t heard from him a long while. He always made time for me while I was going through my depressed stage in 6th form. I know what, I’ll just pull up on the side of the road and check the text.

SHABEERS TEXT: Salams bro, can you please call me when you have a minute, I need to discuss a concern I have about a mutual friend of ours.

Oh dear, it sounded serious, so I was glad I’d pulled my car to the side of the road. Now I could safely call him, So I switched off my engine and dialled his number.

“Hello” he answered

“Salams Shabeer, it’s been a long time. Hope you’re well.”

A guy called "Ment"

When I first saw him I recall thinking I don't want to be seen within 100 miles of this dirty tramp.

I asked my cousin what this guys name is. "They call him Ment"

What a stupid name. What's Ment ment to mean?

"His real name is Moazam" my cousin explained "they call him Ment because he's Mental"

"Oh right, so he's actually mental is he?" he sure looked it.

"I don't no, no one ever takes him seriously or gives him the time of day, he's just Mental"

It seemed the whole village was in on this. All 14 people in his household called him Ment (even his 2 year old sister - she did sound cute when she said it), the neighbours all called him Ment, even the shopkeepers and the policeman called him Ment.

The Final Destination..

You only live twice?! Something for you to all watch! It acts as a reminder to always think twice about the choices we make in life and to choose the better options! Remember where you've come from and where your heading..

(Oooo, kind of scared me, a quarter of the way through, when something unexpected popped up! And the fake 'red' paint is not of my liking..)

Beautiful Muslim Buildings

I heard there's a place called The Alhambra Palace, and another place called The Cordoba Mosque. Both are architectural gems that can found Spain.

Spain - ruled my Muslims for a good number of years. There are other improvements to the way of life for the people of that region that were made by the Muslim rulers. The Mosque and Palace was not their only contributions.

I hear they greatly improved the education and infrastructure of this place.

The Public Bath House was another of the great works of these Muslim rulers. I hear some of these bath houses have been restored to their former glory and are being used for the purpose they were created even today.
