This is a must read. One of the most funniest articles I have ever read. It had me in stitches and if you've got a good sense of humour, you will laugh at this too... and even if you don't have a good sense of humour.. you will still laugh, trust me!

Lota AKA Bodhana? AKA Chumbo? AKA Boundroo? I don't think I know any other names for it.

The lota has torn apart relationships and embarrassed first-generation kids like me. So what is it? Let me explain - Written by WAJAHAT ALI

Hi everyone and Asalaamu Alaikum.

I've created a survey for a project I'm doing and would really appreciate it if you could take some time out to fill it in. The aim of the survey is to explore the extent to which religion and/or belief systems influence a woman’s view on abortion.

It should take approximately 15-30 minutes to complete and is designed for females aged 16 or over. All the information you provide will be treated with confidentiality. Please be honest and answer to the best of your ability. If at any stage, you feel uncomfortable and wish to stop answering any of the questions then you are free to do so.

Big news from bangladesh today: they have executed someone! (link to BBC News article).

Abdul Kader Mullah was a senior leader in the Jamaat-e-islami party which back at the time of independence in fought for unity against independence... and lost. For context, tThe current PM calls the guy who led the independence movement daddy (and the former PM and leader of the opposition calls the man who executed him daddy).

Either way, there was never any process to reconcile the different factions in Bangladesh following independence, and everything was sort of hoofed away as there were many immediate issues to deal with straight away followed by many political upheavals and political coups.

The Last sermon of the beloved Prophet, peace be upon him.

“O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.

....but sometimes perhaps it would be nice to look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we need to be awesome before we think we can help others become awesome. 

I saw this video a while ago. Some people think they look better than they actually do. Some people think they look worse than they do. 

Sometimes it might be a good idea to get a picture of yourself and be realistic about your qualities for self improvement.

"Ilm (knowledge) is not memorization of lines from a book or storing mass information in memory, a computer can hold masses and masses of information, rather knowledge is internalization of the sacred texts, knowledge is presence of Rūh (soul) and Hāl (state), information that is not internalized and practiced is just information, not real Ilm and has no benefit, the whole purpose is to be transformed."

- Sayyidi Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni al-Ninowy

I'm using the laptop in my lap fully aware that there is a very high possibility it might just explode and catch fire.

A while ago, I realised that when i plugged the laptop charger into my laptop it wouldn't charge and that I needed to position it perfectly for it to work.

There was also a time when I tried pulling the charger out and screamed OUCH because of how hot it had become. I had to use my sleeve to pull it out because I thought I would burn my fingers.

I've even had occassions when I pull out the plug from the extension lead and I can see some sparks, but I just pretend that I'm seeing things and continue with what i'm doing.
