The sahabah spent the whole year preparing for Ramadhan. We've only got about 2 and a half months so I thought I'd create a reminder for all of us to start preparing now! 🙂

We should starting creating goals and have our aims ready by the start of Ramadhan. And perhaps start trying to do things which we want to improve during Ramadhan, so it's that little bit easier.

Also, I had an idea. You know how Bilan blogged a chapter or so of 'Dua: the weapon of the believer'? Well I'm pretty sure everyone who read that really benefitted from it. (JazakAllah, again Bilan! 😃 ) So I was wondering if someone would like to do the same thing with another book. I thought all of us who are willing to do something like that could write down a title of a book or two which we might want to blog summaries of and then at the end everyone could sort of vote for which book they'd most like info on. 

I'll have to warn you -I'm really not great at summarising but I'm willing to try. sbf's topic on the Prophet ﷺ wives (ra) reminded me of a book I bought yearrrrrrs ago which I haven't actually read from cover-to-cover. It's about the Prophet ﷺ wives (ra) called something like "The women of paradise" (I'm gna have to find it too)

So yh, that's the title I'm putting forward.

Four men arrested in Luton last week have been charged with a number of terrorism offences.

Zahid Iqbal, 30, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, 24, Syed Hussain, 21, and Umar Arshad, 23, will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court later.

The men, who all live in Luton, are jointly charged with terrorism offences allegedly carried out between 1 January 2011 and 25 April 2012.

The old long debate for footy fanatics

messi or ronaldo... who is the best in the world?

last 3 years it has been messi.. this year it looks like ronaldo?

so who do you think is the best?

Messi is regarded best of all time?

Big match

Utd v city

winner takes all

so what do you think?

any united/city fans here?

who's watching it?

WOW! Really?

I give up, all i'm gonna say is "what a load of crap". Sorry but the least i can say is that Humza has lost my respect. 

Was just thinking when i was watching his response video again, that it seems very rehearsed from his choice of clothing and the nasheed at the end. Seems like he was pulling all the stops with it. Then i stumbled across the video above and...well i give up on defending him. 

Anyway i'm not gonna make this a big issue or put DOABM or Humza on any list of importance. That's why i didn't bother commenting anymore on the Jabbar/Humza issue. Just thought you guys may be interested in seeing this. P.S. i know others may not agree with me or understand where i'm coming from or think i'm blowing this out of proportion but to me it just seems like this is not in the muslims bests interests.

Are there any events that are highlighted in the Qu'ran related to any earthquakes, tsunamis etc that everyone knows were true events?

Just watching a documentary about the Moors.

Anyone got any knowledge about these guys? 

They were converted Muslims. So much info on them and so interesting.
