Friday's

Wen i wasnt as practising, i always went to friday prayers at mosque if i wasnt at school. When in college, id normally go home early on friday to make it in time for Prayer.

Now im in uni, cant remember the last jummah i missed. I always make it on tym. Either at uni mosque, or at the Manchester central mosque, or if im not at uni, like today, then i go to local Jamia Mosque.

Also i try to make it for the talk before prayer. I feel its important, even if its summin u already kno, its re-affirmation.

Also, on jummah u normally see everyone in the mosque for friday prayer, its nice to see the mosque half full at tyms.

?ggiD aYYa Digg?

my grandad was telling me that a guy collapsed in the Mosque today and the ambulance was called

the mosque lot made a great big song and dance about the fact that the ambulance crew came into the mosque with their shoes on

they put them take their shoes off before they entered and this just wasted valuable time

the guy died-he was destined to die that day

but even so such things shud be prevented

Salam

Friday is a muslim holy day.

It has so much power.

Even the non muslims gets the Friday feeling.

Intentionally missing two Friday prayers in a row is considered a huge sin…

Actually intentionally missing two Jummah's makes a person a kafir.

I heard it was three.

Intentions are important.

Jummah is not Fardh in a non Muslims country...but don't tell non-practising guys n gals that! 😃

So why go? I prefer to think that if I say okay fine then won't go, I'm saying I'm a would be kaafir or hypocrite except I don't live in a Muslim Country.

I always try to go jumma which is held in my college as the people who go there are around my age and the khutbah is said in english so I understand what is being said and man is it interesting when you actually understand what is being said.

The local mosque on the other hand which is in my area is mainly full of grumpy grown-ups and the khutbah is said in arabic and theres nothing wrong with that. Except you get people talking to each other as most people are not understanding what is being said and you see others picking their noses and stuff like that.

That reminds me, I see boys who are committing sins very blatantly in front of everyone and when it comes to fridays you see them coming to jumma prayers and doing prayer (or they pretend to anyway). Quite a few times I have seen boys who are wearing gold jewellery and ear rings and reading jumma....surely this can't be allowed.

So what, sinners can't pray now? Surely we should take the good things and highlight them and praise them for it and try to cover up the bad things and educate them further about islam.

But they should atleast take their ear ring off! It's like not smoking in front of your parents out of respect. If they wanna do something good then they should try their best.

Forgot to mention, after reading jumma you see them going into their cars blazing the latest tracks and with their gf's in the car....so much for hiding the bad stuff. People like them are impossible to talk to, what people say goes into one ear and out the other.

Juma Mubarak!

The apostrophe is unnecessary.

How do u know that them actually coming to Jummah is not them trying their best? You talk bout respect some people maybe aint taught that in their homes hence they don't realise it is disrespectful to wear a stud or ring in their ear whilst at Jummah.

The Holy Prophet ﷺ preached to such people but did he ﷺ say lets just give up on them coz they don't bother listening. Nope he ﷺ didn't, every aspect of the Sunnah is a lesson for the Ummah to learn from. Basically keep trying don't give up, one day they will feel ashamed of their sins and will repent inshallah.

Thats Bullshit. Its people like you that makes Islam full of self righteous people. So what if sinful people read their friday prayer? And who gives a shit if boys wear ear rings to prayer?
Why cant people concentrate on their own prayer?

That is the bit I agree with.

We are all sinful. If we do something right, we should not be lampooned, and scared of for life.

If you see people doing wrong, the worst approach you can take is that of a preacher. Its just offputting. Its better to just be friendly, and keep hammering at the issue slowly but surely instead of giving fatwa's.

Afterall, its not our place to judge.

Ok.....I didn't expect everyone to gang up on me.

Firstly I didn't say I just ignore what such people are doing. I do try my best to talk with them but I just get the feeling that I ain't being listened to but that doesn't mean I give up, ofcourse not.

Secondly people I know, clearly know that things like wearing gold jewellery is wrong but they still do it. But it's not like I was winging on and complaining about it, I was just talking about my experiences.

Thirdly I do concentrate when I'm doing prayer and don't let my eyes wonder off (as a sister has accused me of not concentrating on my own prayer) and look at what people are doing or wearing....I said I have noticed some brothers wearing ear rings (when I'm not reading prayer ofcourse).

Lastly I am not perfect and I do make mistakes, I was not saying anything bad like such people shouldn't pray or anything.

we are not ganging up on you. yet.

So no need to worry. :twisted:

My comment was in general, as a follow up not a personal attack or anything.

Thank you for pointing that out. Seriously.

I've been studying English grammar, word orgins, morphology, lexical knowledge etc for the past few weeks now....and punctuation, specifically Comma's/apostrophe's are my weak point.

Comma's, I can't really help.

Apostrophes are more simple:

Use it when denoting belonging. e.g.

"Beast's post" as in the post that belongs to beast.

"Beasts post" on the other hand means animals connect to the net and spam forums.

With "Don't/won't/can't" etc, use it where the letters are taken out. e.g.

"Can't" the 'o' between the 'n' and 't' is taken has an apostraphe slotted in. (lerant that particular lesson in year1 😃 .

Thats it, as a rule of thumb, check if the palce where the apostraphe is going in is to do with belonging of one thing to another; unless of course its of the "can't/won't Don't" variety.

Good Luck.

Girls Coats.

Where would I add the apostrophe?

[quote="MuslimSister"]Girls Coats.
[/quote]

If you were talking about coats for girls then it would be "Girls' Coats".

If you were talking about coats belonging to one particular girl then it would be "girl's coats".

[quote="Beast"][quote="MuslimSister"]Girls Coats.
[/quote]

If you were talking about coats for girls then it would be [b]"Girls' Coats". [/b]

[/quote]

That could also be written as 'Girls's Coats' its arbitary in that situation, whether or not you put the extra 's' after the apostraphe (because there is already an 's' before the apostraphe) but generally in this case, the extra 's' is left out.

btw its pronounced 'girlses' whether or not the extra 's' is used.

boys only one of u cant be right

i have a feeling the monster is right

i havent seen "girls's" ever being used

[quote="MuslimSisLilSis"]boys only one of u cant be right

Hey, I said both were valid and that " Girls' " is more commonly used, no conflict.

"Girls's" is not a word. The option "xyzs's" is available when a noun ends with the letter s but not when a letter s is used to pluralise, in which case an apostrophe indicating belonging goes after the word.

[quote="Dawud"]btw its pronounced 'girlses' whether or not the extra 's' is used.[/quote]
This is totally incorrect, again because the letter s is already addended to pluralise the word. That pronunciation would never be used. Only if an apostrophe indicating belonging goes at the end of a singular noun, an s can be pronounced when it sounds more natural. "Bess' coat" or "Bess's coat" are both acceptable and should both be pronounced as "Bess's", although you would get away with pronouncing the former just as it is written.

Before I posted to clean it up there were eight posts on the subject of grammar, Angel, and your post hasn't exactly brought us back on topic, it is just a gripe. You OK? Only you just complained about my being unfairly allowed to use bad language on another thread.

grammar.

First letter of a sentence is supposed to be capital, so should be 'Grammer'.

There is now a thread for discussing grammatical issues, even you Muslim Bro with the avatar of a Hamas guy with his face covered.
