Seraphim

If anyone has any ideas about what to include in the magazine

any ideas for articles etc

then feel free to list them here.

Preferably something we havent already covered.

Baring in mind the nature and tone of the magazine.

Oh, and just because you've listed an idea dont mean we'll def write about it...

Oh and credit will be given where credit due.

[quote="mmm"][quote="Amal"]How about pieces on Islamic History?? Knowledge about their history (i.e. Mughal Empire, Andalusia, etc) will build a young person's self-confidence and play a role in defining their identity.

Youth are generally uncertain of themselves. Recognising their achievements of their peers in history (i.e. Muhammad bin Qassim) will encourage them to pursue education, investing in themselves, and striving towards success for their future dunya and akhira..

Or pieces of Muslim pioneers - historical and contemporary (i.e. Jalaluddin al-Rumi, Rabia al-Adawiyya, Muhammad Iqbal.. you could quote some of their poems as well.. )[/quote]

Ali G doesn't want to know about History so how can he teach to Muslims?[/quote]

Because every story must have a protagonist... someone people can relate to ... someone they can admire... someone to give them hope.

Well if Ali G gives the revival readers hope then hope isn't as wonderful as once thought.

Hope is hope no matter where it comes from.

And i was refering to characters from history.... not Ali G.

But my first point still stands

Perhaps Ali G went to 'study' with a member of the opposite sex in a museum.
She couldn't make it to 'study' and while he waited for well over two hours (he was quite eager to 'study') he found himself wandering around the museum and ironically, actually studied (albeit without realising).

Works? Yes? No?
