Caste and Trade

published by Medarris on 2 October, 2005 - 15:51

What do you think about the caste system? Are you totally against it or do you think it has some benefits. Where do you draw the line in its importance or lack thereof?

I am Qurayshi by clan and tailors by trade. I think the caste system is good for identification but I dont agree that one caste is superiour to another except the Sayyid, Siddiqi, Farooqi, Usmani/Ghani, Alawi, Abbasi castes.

I dont think Raja, Chaudhry, Jatt etc are better than us Qurayshis, nor do I think that us Qurayshis are better than Musallies and Naaies. We all equal but different.

The thirty days of Ramadan

Salaam

Ramadan is approaching.

just a couple or three days to go.

I was thinking that we all practice something new (and simple) every day of the month, that willmake us better people.

I'd say day 1: just make sure you read your prayers, and that you fast.
Day two: wake up earlier for sehri
day three: read some quran before going back to sleep.
day four: read fajr in Jamaah at your local mosque.

and yada yada.

So think of this as a community exercise.

who knows if it is good, and I can be bothered, I may add it to the site, updated every day!

[size=18]Muslim glossy goes mainstream to break down cultural borders[/size]
[b]By Will Pavia[/b]

IT IS shiny, there is a moody looking musician on the cover, and it rests beneath a rank of fashion magazines, but inside is something slightly different — this is Britain’s first glossy Muslim lifestyle monthly.

The magazine emel — the name references the initials ML, for Muslim Life, and an Arabic word meaning aspiration — has been running as a quarterly for two years.

Yesterday, in Borders bookstore on the Charing Cross Road, it officially went mainstream.
