and what would u want us to cover in the ali wannabe and jamal issue this time round...
also ppl like urself shud start to write articls for us...

wasalaam[/quote]

i cant write articles

I'm only good for ideas- 8)

or as some may say I'm all talk ๐Ÿ˜‰

u can interview me if u want but it'd be boring-no joke

I dont do anything positive or negative in life-I'm not a good girl nor am I a bad girl

I go school come home and watch TV-very uneventful

I dont have any high aims for life-(dads forcing me to attend Uni :evil: )

BUT the people I associate with have drama filled lives

I can easily find u somenone astray and someone who's a v good Muslim

I'll think about Ali Wannabe and let u know if I comeup with any ideas

MuslimSisLilSis โ€” Mon, 8 Aug 2005 - 17:40

for the religioulsy "active" people bit...I could get u an interview with one of the young MPAC lot

for the astray people bit I know BEARS....

I can help u write the Q too

(people u interview can not be over 25)

btw Ali Wannabe and Jamal should discuss fraud/scams "patta"-....importace of not giving parents lip....not loafing aimlessly in the streets and driving round blocks all day long..... not being so foul mouthed....etc

u've covered most of it in the past issues

Sirus โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 09:48

so no article on Eid/Ramadhan Ed? it should be covered, how to do it properly and how it should be all year round and not 1 month, IMO.

about the people lives..........dont salam, emel etc do that? c'mon man, be diffrent! ive read countless lives of muslims, and seen em on that TV prog as well. not sayin it isnt good, just not new.

oh and the 'patta' topic, defo has 2 be covered. 90% of Glodwick's GDP is patta job ๐Ÿ˜›

Sirus โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 09:51

Salaam Ed, have u posted the new issue to that guy at the convention? if not, i'll do it from work. its free ๐Ÿ˜‚ ive got his address and the mag here.

any news on the 1400 lost revival magazines?

....a few hundred years down the line they may be discovered and cherished as an important part of history, and u never knw.....they may just open a new park in the Ed's name ๐Ÿ™‚

MuslimSister โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 10:02

[quote="irfghan"]Is 'patta' Northern-lingo?

What does it mean?[/quote]

Credit card scams.

This word is used here too...not sure if its an Asian or English word.

Sajid Iqbal โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 10:27

salaam

'patta'..ive not heard that term before....

credit card scams is a good issue...do u think we shud fit that in with ali wannabe and jamal or a sepearte more serious article?

ok ppl, need more ideas for next issue.....so time for a brain storming session ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

wasalaam

Sirus โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 11:22

u never heard of it Ed? and your supposed 2 be the main dude for a youth mag! just take a trip 2 the other side of town and u'll see how bad it is.

yeah, cedit card scams (asian lingo). loadz of asian lads do it and justify it by saying theyre 'having-off' a kaffir, a goraa so its ok. loada cobblers.

should be covered in ali wanabee, he seems the type. plus its the article most of the fraudsters are likely to read for a laugh.

one guy came oustide our 6th form last year in his car (new 1 everyday) selling 2 Sony state of the art laptops for 800 quid ๐Ÿ˜‚

There's only so much you can say about this issue.

It'll be better if Ali Wannabe discusses it with Jamal....its doesnt need a whole seperate article.

Seraphim โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 13:10

They could prob also go into stealing etc just a bit.

Dnt want it turning into a lecture.

I think we should have like a quick fire facts bit aswell. Every issue you give'em like 10 quick Islamic facts, basicly about things muslims should know about e.g. the holy prophet(pbuh)'s family, friends, certain important events that took place. but just bullet point them.

clubbing - im obviously gona say yes
marriage - its good, but its been coevered a kazillion tymes and which youth nowadays is thinking about marriage? it may just be a put off IMO
fashion - ur gona hav 2 ask my brother why he mentioned that to you!
credit card - just as a few points in Ali wannabee article
interviews - you have my opinion somewher here
fasting and eid - its ramadhan, time to renew our faith for some! and the youth cause the shor-sharabaa on eid day, and give us all a bad name.

unique....thats where your editorial skills come into play!

What about the relative importance of money?

Alot of people think money everything. But where does materialism stand in relation to Islam?

not sure about the money one...

Sajid Iqbal โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 16:31

salaam
yep, u cud be right there...money article was gonna be on the issue that money is everything, ppl worship money, life passes by earning money, we live for dunya and ignore akhira..but i will try to join the article with the credit card scam one.
wasalaam

Sirus โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 16:36

money, like the ed mentioned above, is a diff article. the importance of money in several aspects in relation to our lives.

the credit card scams should just be something Ali wannabee duz and Bro Jamal educates him on. everyone knows its morally wrong, weheras the issue with money deludes many people.

Sirus โ€” Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:35

ur interpration of the issues with money probably differ from mine then. i didnt say scams should be a topic, jus sumat they briefly discuss in the ali wannabee convo.

money - how important is it, how we should spend it, how the religious people in history used money maybe (not all movi's are on the dole) and im sure theres other stuff. one of my mate works 2 jobs now n then whislt studying just coz money makes the world go round, and [banned phrase]. 1 other guy jus works 4 purely 4 the sake of money. how important should it be? cmon, most of the youth only dream of benjamin. the effects money has had on people. how the rich and famous are still not happy despite endless money. also IMO, why abrahimovic's money shouldnt be allowed in footy ๐Ÿ˜‚

last one was a joke

Angel โ€” Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 00:13

ok i had a proper look at the comic strip again, where bouts exacly are those cartoons flirtin????? :? :? :?

p.s. goin with the money theme, it should also be outlined the importance of givin charity and its benefits etc

Angel โ€” Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 00:45

[quote="Admin"]All articles are now up (except one - the profile of that sameer alam); including comic strip.

http://www.therevival.co.uk/magazine/august2005/

From the comic; some people may call it as flirting as they are talking.[/quote]

:roll:
did u have any complaints sayin that it was flirtin i knw lilsis had some ppl sayin that to her...its always some wacko ppl that have issues with anythin and everythin wich dont even make sense...

You โ€” Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 00:50

No I have not had any complaints.

However I would expect some pointless murmurs.

I am surprised no one has said its haraam to have pics. I would have expected that.

MuslimSisLilSis โ€” Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 10:00

LOL

they ARE flirting-she's trying it on with him and he's teasing her

no wonder its got a few people uptight-

p.s Mr Ed mum just received a phone call from some lady whose son was bigging up ur mag...he said it was MUCH better then the last one and his fav articles was the Weed and the Friends one

the LOVED the "link" u made between the two articles

God knows what link he's chatting about? - :?

Sajid Iqbal โ€” Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 10:08

salaam

well, the feedback is getting better all the time...

im glad someone spotted the link...it was there on purpose....

in the weed article, everyone stated they do weed and got involved due to FRIENDS, we also added there that to stop get rid of your dodgy friends...and in the Friends article we wrote you need to have good friends and not dealers, dodgy geezers....

so both articles were included ON PURPOSE....we do think deeply about what we include in the mag and why...
