What Did You learn Today?

MuslimSister —

Salaam

It is said that "knowledge is what you hear from the mouths of men as they only repeat the best of what they have heard"

I think it’d be useful to post tid-bits of invaluable information-religious/non religious here in this thread.

It can be stuff that you learnt in work/Uni/Mosque/in a talk/something a wise elder told you/a life experience or something that you suddenly realised.

It can be minor or major stuff. It has to be stuff that you never knew before.

Today I learnt…

1-Why I shouldn’t trust, join or think highly of the Sufi Muslim Council

2-It’s quicker for me to get to Uni by Car than public transport.

3-Rubicon Pomegranate juice is tasty and apparently very good for you.

4-Spending so much time typing on computers leads to illegible handwriting and poor spelling

5-Being in the spotlight on a regular basis results in a higher chance of insincerity in actions and can negate all good work.

Keep this thread updated regularly…

Wasalaam

nice topic MS. 🙂

beast congrats on your first job. may it be a means of happiness and success in this world and the hereafter inshaAllah.

over the past week i have learnt:

- just how incredibly narrow-minded some people can be :?

- one can only take so much crap before they snap 🙁

- sisterhood in Islam is a blessing, and backbiting destroys it completely 😢

- sleeping on the floor trains one to wake up as soon as one's alarm clock rings, not an hour later. 😉

- i talk too much :oops:

Todays very important lessons:

Church is not the place to criticize the Pope.
In front of my wife is not the place to criticize the Pope.
Criticizing the Pope in general means I am sleeping in another room.

MuslimSister — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 22:43

I learnt that one can most def feel the peace and happiness in the house where the Dhikr of Allah (swt) regularly takes place…and on the other hand one is more likely to feel depressed and uneasy amongst a family that is far away from Islam.

I learnt that one appreciates their own family a lot more when they spend a lot of time with other people’s families.

Also, it is possible to daydream your way into getting a 2.1 at undergraduate level, however, at postgraduate level even switching of for 10min results in failing exams.

MuslimSister — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 22:49

Lol. Thanks.

Its my course...their expectations are SO high. They expect teachers to be good at EVERYTHING.

I'm learning mathematical proof and theory at the moment just so I can teach a bunch of 8/9year olds subtraction and addition ??

Inshallah I'll get through this course.

Dave — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 22:50

Wow that is a graduate level course here... hey think how far you've come a couple months ago you were teaching yourself algebra through trig and calculus now you are doing graduate studies.

Hey did you ever try sushi/sashimi?

I haven't found a willing partner yet.

Most of my girlfriends do not possess a great love of food like I do. :?

lol wow... you're surrounded by culinary cowards!

Okay new strategy - trick em. Tell them you are taking everybody out for ice cream but insist they need to wear blindfolds for some elaborate reason (like its an exclusive ice cream party or you have it on good authority the ice cream may be blindingly shiny, I don't know ad lib here) then take them to a sushi restaurant and threaten to make a major scene if they try to leave.

You know, seeing spirits, speaking in tongues, exorcising demons out of nearby patrons - the works.

I submit that such a plan could never fail.

lol - at the very least can't you get sushi from grocery stores? It's not all that elaborate... usually just tuna rolls but its usually pretty good.

MuslimSister — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 23:07

Lol...you have a very intresting, active imagination.

I may just visit my local grocery stores...I think Marks and Spencers does them.

lol im being shunned right now due to some "insensitive" observations I thought I would share after mass today [img]http://ayttm.sourceforge.net/smileys/default/yahoo_doh.png[/img] I really amaze myself sometimes, so im bored and when im bored im restless and when im restless im weird (or self destructive)

Marks and Spencers is a good idea - at least that way you can get a nice intro into the things you like, get a tuna roll an eel (or if you prefer unagi) roll and some tuna sashimi - those are staples, really good intros.

Angel — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 - 22:06

Overdraft facilities are evil and just make u spend more
