For the last couple of months I’ve been actively seeking work…. after being rejected left right and centre…I was advised to contact this agency that gets you into schools, now after they check my references out I should start working in a matter of weeks… Finally-Alhumdullilah!!

Why do I want to work?

Since I was a little girl I’ve wanted to teach, I used to play “school/school” with my brother and sisters and I was always the teacher….whenever I have spare time I work voluntary in different types of schools.

I just interesting to know who the people who post on the revival follow and why and if indeed you don't follow anyone why u don't.

I personally don't follow anyone at the mo, but I would find it interesting if people give their account on who they follow and why they follow him/them and what kind of benefit they gain from it. Hopefully we can do this without anyone attacking what the other person thinks. Also people who are looking, what quality are you looking for and whether you feel it necessary to follow someone, because at times I don't.

I know some people ain't going to like the fact I used the word kuffar, but that their problems. :twisted:

I always found this subject interesting. Where do we draw the line when we hear this statement, what does it exactly mean to imitate the kuffar. Is it by the clothes, food and entertainment we seek, or is it strictly a lifestyle question.

It is stated that, Whoever imitates a group, then he belongs to them." Abu Dawood, narrated by Hadhrat Ibn Umar (R.A).

taking photographs [b]HALAL OR HARAM?[/b]

alot of ppl have different opinions regarding the matter of taking pictures. some have a say its permissable no matter what.. some say its permissable as long as they arent displayed upon the walls of your homes and then u get ppl saying taking pictures is forbidden and deemed impermissable according to the sacred islamic law...
but due to complete necessity islam permits the act of taking pictures in any such circumstances where photographs are absolute essential e.g passports.

i came across a few hadiths regarding this matter:

An Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
The British Government is planning to make it easier to schools to “opt in” to the state sector. This would allow more minority faith schools to recieve state funding. The Association of Muslim schools received £100,000 from the British government to make the transition smoother for more of the 120 independent Muslim schools. Muslim children in state schools feel isolated and confused about who they are.

salaam

The biggest attack on Islam today is that it is out of date; it is behind date!
The questions asked are how can you follow a book 1400 years old?
how can you use barbaric punishment systems?
why cant women even wear short sleeve shirts but men can?
why cant islam deal with homosexuality?
why is islam homophobic?
why cant islam allow boy/girlfriends?
why not sex before marriage?
why cant muslim even drink?

All these questions try to argue that Islam is not up to touch with modern society...it needs updating and modernising.

Plan for new law over forced marriages

Families who force their daughters into marriage could face an appearance in court under controversial proposals to protect young British Asians from abuse.

Community elders who encourage parents or connive in their arrangements could also be prosecuted in a wide-ranging crackdown to be unveiled tomorrow.

The Home Office minister Baroness Scotland will launch a consultation on proposals to introduce a specific offence of 'forcing someone to marry'.

The Home Office recognises that there are concerns children forced into marriage will not wis
