I am happy to announce that Ruqqaya Waris Maqsood is happy to work with The Revival as an Agony Aunt. Her answers will be posted on the site and also in every issue of the magazine.
So ppl, get the word out....and send any problems, queries, general questions, sticky situations, moral dilemmas to:
editor@therevival.co.uk
These will be passed on to Sr Ruqayyah inshallah.
So what do you think ppl?

Cool,
Heres the first question... im driving down a road and come to a 'Y' junction, where the road splits in 2. Im not sure which way to go. Just off the 'Y' junction is a house where a pair of twins live.
One always lies and the other always tells the truth.
If i can only ask one of them one question, what do i ask?
Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees me there
And still I'll sings
Till everything burns.

Ask them if they're actually twins?

i guess it aint 2 bad of an idea, but make sure the peoples problems u put in there are common amongst the youth. not the typical asian agonay aunts.....i married this man forcefully, hea beat me, i stole his money, the kid killed us both etc etc etc
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

Actually it’s good to have “typical” problems answered by Sr Ruqqaya…cos in most situations what stresses out one Muslim Youth is also stressing out another Muslim youth as well…
It’ll be great to have her on board.

i think its a brilliant idea
IMO it will attract more youth 2 read the mag - there can never be too much advice going around so ppl are always gona want 2 read the 'problems page'
plus sister Ruqaiya is great in relating to youth...i mentioned the book written by her in the 'bookworm' thread...so yeh its all good!!!

I just want to know two things from Maqsood.
1. Why has she got a male name.
2. And is she a Wahhabi.
Everything else will depend on the answers to these questions.

Dont you think MrEd will read her replies first before publishing it?

Can you imagine if she turns out to be one of those. In that case, I need to get my blades out. We cant have blunt knives for such people.
We need to be ready for her. Never get caught with your pants down. Especially by a woman with a male name.
Now you know why it is relevant.

Adoption ? She was not thinking was she.
Can you imagine me calling her: Hey Maqsood. How are you ?
