A 29-year-old man has become the youngest grandfather in Britain after his 14-year-old daughter gave birth, a media report said.

Shem Davies - of Bridgend, Wales - was also 14 when he became a father for the first time, The Sun reported.

His schoolgirl daughter Tia now has had a girl before her 15th birthday, it said.

Davies - who split with Tia's mother Kelly three months after she was born - said he was 'absolutely delighted' at the news.

Davies was 'shocked' when his daughter told him she was pregnant by her 15-year-old boyfriend.

He also has a nine-month-old son with new girlfriend Robyn Thomas.

I'm sure there are many similar threads.

A girl near me was annoyed at someones mention of 72 virgins that men are allowed in the afterlife if they die a martyr?

Can someone clarify what the heck that even means?

This link has been described as a fair point on the topic: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2002/jan/12/books.guardianreview5

Just to emphasise this thread is to tend to all general questions.

Suhoor/Sehri/Pre Dawn Meal/Iftar

published by Lioness of Allah on 25 July, 2011 - 22:36

Assalamualykum,

So with Ramadan creeping closer day by day, i was just curious, wondering about what people eat at sehri.

I read something once about the Prophet's pre dawn meal, saying it's sunnah to eat at least a date and drink some water , but i'm not sure where its from. Please correct me if i'm wrong though.

Anyhoo, what do you guys normally eat for Suhoor?

I normally have a bowl of cereal, Coco Pops or Cheerios,:D but iknow people who eat Chappatis (Roti) with curry. (Personally i could probably not be able to stomach that, that early)

*EDIT*: We may as well talk about iftari too now... I normally break my fast with dates and water, a lil' bit of fruit and then... Stuff down all the fried stuff....and maybe eat roti too Blum 3

10 yr cousin comes down to get water for his 13yr old sis (after being already for bed)

me: Aww it's nice of you to come down for your sis

his mum: yeah, he comes all the time for her, she doesn't

me:You should make her come down for you too!

him: well I get sawab (reward) for it anyway

me: Smile aww, nice one! (ok I didn't say exactly that, did a typical paki reaction thing instead Blum 3 )
