Would You Reject a Proposal from someone like ummul mu'mineen Khadijah (ra)?

To my fellow young brothers seeking marriage, ask yourself an honest question. If a sister were to offer you a proposal, and she was wealthier, more educated, and more accomplished than you, but older as well and previously widowed (or divorced) with children, would you seriously consider that proposal? And would your family approve or be supportive of that kind of proposal?

It's not surprising if your answer is no – and perhaps you have some legitimate concerns, but I would wager that most brothers would probably reject that proposal in a heartbeat because that's not the kind of woman they or their parents envision when they think of the ideal spouse.

Why does a petition on the genocide of the Rohingya have trouble reaching 500 names?

I'm not one for petitions normally, but it is embarassing that there havent even been 500 signatories.

Let's get this moving - tell your friends, tweet, add to facebook. atleast make it respectable.

An interesting side note is that while this injustice has been happening, international aid to Burma/Myanmar has increased from around $1billion to around $4billion - outside voices can have an effect, but its not fashionable on this occasion.
