All praise to Allah and peace and blessings upon Rasulullah Muhammad (s).

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf- A living example of the pious

A city, famous in history for its sweet onions and agriculture, gave birth to a little boy who had a great future ahead for him which compensated for his great efforts and struggle for mankind.
In the year 1960, in a Greek orthodox family, Mark Hanson was born to a US academic world war two veteran father and an activist mother in Walla Walla, Washington which is in the southeastern region of Washington, approximately five hours by car from Seattle, Washington and thirteen miles from the Oregon border.

Was just reading the artical, "RIP: Rest in peace or ripped into pieces?" from issue 10 and it reminded me a little of this poem that I wrote.

[b]5 Minutes Left To Live [/b]

You have 5 minutes left to live
Says the whisper, I wish was a lie
You were fatally wounded
And now its time for you to die......

I slowly turn my head up towards the sky
Keep asking one question, why god why?...
But God doesnt reply.

I lay still in the darkness
Never have I felt so hopeless
No matter how much I try
No one comes to the call of my cry

I feel alot weaker now,
Not long left to go,
My vision becomes a blur
And slowly my mind begins to stir

I watch as my whole life
Flashes before my eyes,
Highlighting all the good deeds and the bad

Who writes the articles for this magazine?
How old are they (on average)?
How old is the target audience for this magazine?

Yawning is fascinating
Besides all those weird things that people say about how a million devils go in ur mouth or how the devil sucks out ur soul if you don't cover your mouth and other things like that...

I always wondered, Why do people yawn when they see other people yawn (including me)
Well its because Your body is subconsciously empathising with that other person's tiredness- how weird is that
you don't even know them, and you feel bad for them- so you yawn! lolz

And another thing, you don't just yawn to show that you're tired
It's your body's way of tryna make you wake up, like, refreshing you i guess ( although that doesn't work for me, i still feel sleepy even after i yawn)

Hey everyone
I'm new here so be nice, lolz
I read a copy of "the revival" magazine today and i really enjoyed it
I was wondering if anyone knew how to subscribe to it?
Is it published monthly or weekly?
Please message me the detes
Maybe it'll count as a good deed
lolz you may feel free to thank me, lolz i'm only joking- i shall be forever in your debt lolzzz x
tc all
ciao x[b][/b]

That is precisely the question which [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk]The Register[/url] asks in a piece of the same name:

Is Europe's war on Islamist terror running out of terrorists?

The terror threat to Europe - Islamist or otherwise - may not be all it's cracked up to be, statistics published by Europol this week indicate. Europol, a criminal intelligence support service for European law enforcement agencies, maintains that the Islamist terror threat remains high despite a 22 per cent drop in arrest numbers, but as was the case with last year's report, very few actual incidents of, or attempts at, Islamist terror attacks were reported.

This was gonna be a forum topic [url=http://www.therevival.co.uk/node/3572]reply to this topic[/url], but I had second thoughts, thought it would be better as a blog.

I have been holding a reply to this topic for a while... but I will put it here now...

Been doing a little reading lately.

Some people suggest that the triumph of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash%27ari]Ashari[/url] school of [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalam] islamic philosophy[/url] is to blame for the lack of pondering in the Muslim Community, and maybe even its fall from grace.

This must surely be an April fools joke:

Turkish leaders face court case

Turkey's constitutional court has decided unanimously that it can hear a case aimed at closing down the country's governing AK Party.

The chief prosecutor earlier filed a petition calling for the party to be banned for "anti-secular activities".

He also wants 71 AKP officials, including the prime minister and president, to be banned from politics.

The case revives a battle between Turkey's secularist establishment and the AK Party of devout Muslims...

Apparently not.

A little bit of recent history... a whole lot of perspective

I think it is about time I got back to my driving lessons... after a hiatus of erm... 7 years? (which was a single lesson after my previous hiatus of a year when I had taken three... The first time the Driving instructors uncle died, I never bothered with a replacement, the second time the (different) instructor never bothered to turn up for the second lesson. I never bothered to rearrange.)

So first things first, I Googled (is it still capitals when used as a verb?) for "driving lessons oldham". Got me some good hits. It seems lessons are around £20+ these days.
