How do you truly argue something with conviction?

Say for example someone says to you,

'So, around the time when the Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) had the revelation of the Qu'ran sent to him, how do you truly know that it is the word of Allah (swt) and not because ideas of those certain facts mentioned in Qu'ran (that are always shown to be correct against the science now) are not ideas that people had at the time?'

That was very wordy. I apologise. But my eyes are tired.

Life of Pi, what did you think of it?

Pi, the son of an Indian zookeeper, decides to hitch a ride to Canada with a shipment of animals but when the ship goes down he’s forced to share the only lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a Bengal tiger. With hundreds of days stretching before them, they need to learn to trust each other if they are going to survive. Life of Pi is a lavish coming-of-age story with heart and spirit.

Who in History would you like to meet?

I was going to create this topic about the companions of the prophet sallAllahu'alaihiwassalaam. 

who from the companions would you really like to meet in Jannah inshaaAllah?

I really want to meet Ibn 'Umar and Anas ibn Malik. mainly because they were "youth" during the time of the prophet sallAllahu'alaihiwassalam and I read all these hadith reported by them as well. I would just love to get to know them and meet them!

this topic can also be used to talk about anybody else in History you'd like to meet. but thing is, with the sahabas radhiyAllahu'anhum, if we work hard enough, inshaaaAllah we WILL be able to meet them.

Anger Management

"The strong are not wrestlers or bodybuilder. The strong are those who can hold back their anger."

Over the course of the last year ive noticed im becoming an angry person. There have been times where i've been absolutely furious with someone. This often leads me to raise my voice and becoming argumentative. Even confrontational where i wont stop till ive had my say or decimated someone.

I dont like doing this. I dont like raising my voice. I dont like saying anything unkind. I dont like going all Bruce Banner on anyone (SEPHY SMASH!!).

The weird and wonderful ways we eat food

There are many foods in this world and most of us have done some strange combination, some weird mix and match for various reasons; sometimes it's because that's all there was at home left, sometimes its because you were cooking with the lights off, other times it cld have been because it looked nice together!

whatever your reasons, wld you like to share those weird and wonderful foods you've created?

i'll start with a couple.

pasta, fish fingers and ketchup. mash up the fishfingers, sauce up ketchup and there you go! totally unhealthy, totally delish! in recent times we've taken to putting half ketchup, half mayo. i went to a friend's house and she'd done something similar, except there wasnt fish fingers, there was sweet potato and eggs and carrots i think.
