Water. Its so pure and clean and it occupies about 60% of every one of us. I've always been told that i'm supposed to be drinking about 8 glasses of water a day.

As i was looking around, i happened to read a few sentences which said that men should be having about 13 cups of beverages a day, and women should be having a total of 9 cups of beverages a day.

Apparently, this 'idea of having 8 cups a day' isn't supported by hard evidence but it remains 'popular' because its easy to remember.

Now for someone like me, who drinks about 3 cups a fortnight, how will i ever get to 9 x 14 = 126 cups. Okay, i think i should make it much easier for myself... how will i ever get to 8 x 14 = 112 cups of water in two weeks?!

because if i die, it'd be stupid way to go. i didnt even do anything. just fell off the sky because of some technical mishap.

borrrrrrring.

inshaaAllah i'll have time to read my shahada.

Abū Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allāh sallAllahu'alaihiwassalam said: “A person may speak a word, not realizing what he is saying, and he will fall because of it into the Fire further than the distance between the East and West.” (Reported by
Bukhaaree 5996, and Muslim 5304)

beautiful.

Revising and thinking of exams being around the corner can get extremely gloomy, tiring and boring, so while i was looking through handouts for Psychology, i came across this and it just made me laugh.

How do you write a discussion in an essay?

A discussion is a sort of argument. The key feature of a discussion is that at least two different points of view are represented. In a good discussion, each side makes its points clearly, and offers evidence to support its views. Here is an example:

Cat: Cats are brilliant. They are intelligent pets and very loving to their owners. Everyone should have a cat.

Sisters, girlies, ladies!

where do you store your handbags?! i just dont know where to put them.

they're not ALL mine. i only have like 1 big bag for lessons, a smaller bag for well..when the big one isnt needed and a side sporty type of bag for when you just need your bus pass, moneyz and phone. (and sometimes a book can fit as well (Y) ) so im okay, these bags are just around doing their own thing.

but there's FOUR females in our house! (ok, the last one is 5 but shes the one with the MOST stuff)

so there's 3 females in this household with a multitude of bags. theres school bag, madrassah bag, going out bag, etc...

so there's about 9/10 bags in different colours and shapes that need to be stored somewhere.

reported Abu Umaamah:

“I guarantee a house in

Jannah (Paradise) for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the

right; and I guarantee a house in the middle of Jannah for one who

abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the

highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners”

Just watching a documentary on the pyramids of Egypt.

Amazing and mindblowing stuff.

any Islamic text on pyramids or Egyptian architecture?

So far, the Syrian conflict has resulted in a reported 40,000 lives being lost.

There are some estimates that 100,000 lives will be lost over the following year.

Hopefully though the deaths and suffering will be far less than what is expected, and will result in an improvement for the people in Syria, but some of the fighting groups may not please the locals too much.

We need to give greater focus to this (and other conflicts) and not focus just on Palestine (but that also does not mean that the focus on there should be reduced).

It is sometimes easier to focus on other conflicts where Muslims are being oppressed by Non Muslims, but solely focussing on them leaves us open to arguments of bias which belittle out focus on those opressions.
