So, basically there's a difference of opinion. So we go back to the personal view bit... you don't think there's anything wrong with it, right?
So, do you carry a donor card?

wouldnt that be bucuz after the person dies, then they would be in great pain even by a slight touch ( i have heard that, but how true it is, i do not know)
no wonder Humza Yusuf is one of the most famous and respectable scholar in the world
the guy knows his stuff
When looking for info about Islam on Google you can come up with anything written by anyone.
You don't know the author's sectarian affilliation, you don't know whether the person is qualified to be saying what they are saying, etc etc.
Not a good idea to rely too much on Google for your Islam.
Pretty obvious stuff I would have thought.
Besides, it is better to learn at the feet of scholars rather than at the feet of Google™.
Did humza yusuf say that?
I've heard that saying being quoted many times
I don't know if Hamza Yusuf said it in relation to Google, but 'learning at the feet of scholars' is a common phrase.
LOL
i wasnt referring to the googly bit
What were you referring to?
Be specific. :roll:
OBVIOULSLY the first part of the quote :roll: :roll:
everyone knows that a great Sheikh wouldnt say sumin like "feet of google"
I didn't quote anyone or anything. No speech marks :roll: .
Besides, I don't know what Hamza Yusuf said in Leeds. Ask Admin for more details.
Well that would have been a sight to see!

[size=18][b]Airliner fakes emergency so passengers can watch soccer game[/b][/size]
Wednesday, September 21, 2005; Posted: 12:47 p.m. EDT (16:47 GMT)
[i]LIMA, Peru (AP) -- A chartered jet carrying 289 Gambian soccer fans pretended it needed to make an emergency landing so they could watch their team compete in the FIFA Under 17 World Championships, officials said Wednesday.
The plane, claiming to be low on fuel, landed Tuesday near the stadium in Peru's northern coast city of Piura.
"It truly was a scam," said Betty Maldonado, a spokeswoman for Peru's aviation authority, CORPAC. "They tricked the control tower, saying they were low on fuel."
Emergency crews were scrambled ahead of the unscheduled landing by the Lockhead L1011 Tri-Star, owned by Air Rum Ltd., Maldonado said.
The Air Rum plane, which she said was chartered by Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, should have made its approach to the capital, Lima, but instead flew directly to Piura, entering Peruvian air space "without permission."
The passengers were permitted to attend African team's 3-1 victory over Qatar on Tuesday night, she added, but the plane remained in Piura on Wednesday while authorities determined what penalty, if any, to levy against the airline.
Gambian newspaper Daily Observer reported on its Web page Wednesday that the group of fans had been delayed for a week in a hotel in the small West African nation and were forced Friday to watch their country's victory over Brazil on television.[/i]
Hijab doll ousts Barbie as Muslim favourite
Friday September 23, 2005
Fulla, a dark-eyed doll with a hijab and a prayer mat, has displaced Barbie throughout the Arab world.
Although not the first doll with "Muslim values" - there is a Moroccan Barbie, and a veiled doll called Sara in Iran, and one called Razanne for Muslims in Britain and the US - Fulla is now the market leader.
Fawaz Abidin, the brand manager for NewBoy Design Studio in Syria which produced the doll, said: "This isn't just about putting the hijab on a Barbie doll. You have to create a character that parents and children will want relate to. She's honest, loving, and caring, and she respects her father and mother."

The mystery of the Moon
No-one knows exactly when the new Moon appears as it changes in different parts of the world - particularly important if you want to know when Ramadan starts. So this month, scientists are asking the public to help refine the lunar calendar.
For thousands of years, man has looked to the heavens for spiritual solace. Many religions also rely on celestial bodies to determine the timings of their most important annual festivals.
None more so than the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which begins with the first sighting of the new crescent Moon. But for years it has been beset with debate over whether this first sighting can be accurately measured - and so for some it began on Tuesday night, for others Wednesday.
While the Ramadan cue in the West tends to come from Muslim nations in the East, in astronomical terms, the moon appears differently around the world.
Secondly, the very faint new Moon can be hard to spot in the UK and northern Europe because of the weather conditions and light pollution in cities.
Does this matter? For many, no. They follow Islam's holiest site, Mecca in Saudi Arabia. But for others it does.
Dr Khalil Roberts, of the Islamic Astronomical Society, said that some British Muslims have stopped taking the cue from the East.
"Islamic teachings encourage the use of technology to help establish Islamic dates, hence British Muslims feel it is important to reconcile the two and not feel pressured into following inaccurate decisions made in other parts of the world."
Those keen to take part can submit their postcode, weather conditions, date, time and orientation of the crescent to the Moon Watch website (see Internet links on right). The team will then incorporate this information into existing astronomical models, which are used to generate dates for the Islamic calendar.

[b]Rania al-Baz's popularity as a TV news presenter was always an implicit threat to Saudi Arabia's repressive, male-dominated culture. But it wasn't until her husband beat her so badly he thought he had killed her - and she decided to publish the photos of her injuries - that she really shook Saudi society. She talks to Ed Vulliamy about what happened when she dared to challenge the culture of violence against women[/b]

By the time she was in her early 20s, Rania al-Baz had become one of the best known and best loved faces in her home country of Saudi Arabia. As presenter of a programme called The Kingdom this Morning on state-owned television, her hair was always covered by a hijab, as is required, but her face remained uncovered, and she would choose headscarves of defiantly flamboyant colours to cover her immaculately styled hair.
Then, suddenly, on April 13 2004, Baz disappeared from the airwaves. When she emerged two weeks later, her face was all over the newspapers, but it was barely recognisable. Her husband had savagely assaulted her, slamming her face against the marble-tiled floor of their home until it suffered 13 fractures.
During the days in which Baz was in a coma, fighting for her life, her father took photographs of her grotesquely disfigured face. And after she recovered, she decided to permit the photographs to be published, thus doing what no woman in the Kingdom had ever done.
After 12 operations, Baz has recovered her beauty - if anything, the few scars that remain are cogent, rather than disfiguring. She sips a glass of St Emilion and emphasises that she is a devout Muslim - "but I do not think about who is Muslim or who is Christian - we all come from God." But, she adds, "none of this is about a religion, it is about society. What happened to me happens to women all over the world. But you can take what happens to women all over the world, and in Saudi Arabia, multiply it by ten.
u shouldnt post stuff like that-it makes me bitter towards men
^^^thats VERY depresing
:shock: did anyone else notice this line? kinda ironic...

hey did you not know that all moderate muslims drink alcohol? Its a sign o moderation.
whenever a newspaper says that a muslim is moderate, they also have he/she does not mind the ocasional drink...
Thus making the person not a moderate, but a poor muslim who is openly breaking Islamic law...

All I can say is drinking alcohol is haraam.

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

definitely - u shud know by now that i am not one to judge. the irony was just too heavy to ignore, thats all... and it got me wondering whether the journalist did it on purpose? :evil:

I noticed it as I was chopping bits off the story to post it on here.
I had to Google St Emilion to see wether it really was a wine.
My bad.
