Is Santa Clause Coming to Town?

During the Christmas season, Christians all over the country illuminate their houses with lights, put up Christmas trees, and exchange gifts. TV is full of jingle bells and all the stores are decorated for Christmas. All this is very tempting to small children; children love putting up lights and decorating for holidays.

Some Muslim families also put up Christmas trees and lights to keep their kids happy.

Following the one Shaykh?

I always found this a interesting subject and as there a discussion going on about it, it would be good to get some opinion on this.

I personally don't see the point of following one shaykh, maybe that say alot about me as a indivdual. But I think that it good to get alot of opinion on a certain subject before you make a decision. I never go on my own whims but i look to who IMO provides the strongest evidence. I also think that following one shaykh [b]could [/b] make someone rigid when they look at other groups and individual.

Hajji LilSis?

Daddy has this thing-he wants to take all his girls to Hajj

Does your heart rule your head?

My friend wrote this interesting article;

[quote]Jaime Sherman, a psychology student at Arizona State University, underwent a heart transplant at University Medical Center in 2002, after battling a heart defect since birth. For most of her life, this young woman hated sports. And though she was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, she never liked Mexican food. She craved Italian and was a pasta junkie. But, three years ago, all that changed ! "Now I love football, basketball, baseball, you name it, I follow it." Said Sherman.

Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus on the Iraqi city of Fallujah during the attack on the city in November 2004, killing insurgents and civilians with the appalling burns that are the signature of this weapon.

Ever since the assault, which went unreported by any Western journalists, rumours have swirled that the Americans used chemical weapons on the city.

Go On, Just Admit You’re Wrong…

Salaam

Admitting your wrong is one of the hardest things to do…

Many people are addicted to being right and love to get the last word…

I read the following in a psychology text book once…

“What is the reward of being right? Addicted to being right shows that the person has issues. One might be trying to save face or hold on to self esteem. What ever the reason is for you, next time you are caught being addicted to being right, try a new tact. Try seeing it as an opportunity to admit you're wrong. How is admitting you're wrong helpful? Admitting you are wrong shows you're human”.
