Congratulations!

'Congratulations'

Assalaamu 'alaikum

Sr Justjou's day of joy isn't quite yet...

I think the message she was trying to convey is somewhat ominous in nature.

Wassalaam.

AssalamuAlaikum,

Uhhh sis is right, the poem is of a melancholy nature. Nothing to be congratulated on.

btw, in case there are any unwarranted assumptions, I wrote this poem around a few months ago so it has nothing to do with current events :)

the title seems vaguely familiar:

"Tonight"
by Gillette

http://www.hidayaonline.com/archives/000025.html

I also hear that 'Tonight' is a word of the english language and is used by billions of people around the world...damn those thieves...

yeah, i was gonna add something later after I realized this had nothing to do with wedding and marriage but my post on the piece was so insanely funny because of my mistake...
yeah br. Gillette's title is Tonight, also. Imean we gotta avoid plageriasm. LOL!

When are you getting married and are you moving away from NJ?

Justoju, are you not answering your emails?

Assalaamu Alaikum Ya Muslimeen wa Muslimaat:

!!! J U M M A H --- M U B A R I K !!!

May Allah bring Glad tidings and Bless you with HIS Mercy today and for the rest of the coming week...Ameen

"(Quote: In this finite universe, everything is replacable!)"

YIKES!!!

Who said that? That is very debatable.

Nasihah, ISRU's newsletter, needs people to write articles for their da'wah issue. This issue is going to be distributed at our four-day long Islam Awareness Week, taking place on-campus. We need good articles.

Write about anything that you think a non-Muslim needs to hear about. Here's a list of suggestions:

· What is Islam?
· The Prophet sallalaahu alayhi wasallam as a mercy to the world
· Tawhid, The oneness of Allah
· Loyalty to one's deen
· Hayaa, the perfect mix of modesty and humility
· Expressing shukr, gratefulness to Allah
· The many forms of shirk
· Aiming for Jannah
· Saving oneself from the Hellfire
· Victory now, Victory later
· The Purest Jurisprudence
· To be an Honored Guest
· Growing up in an Islaamic household
· The Islaamic concept of holidays
· A book review of Maurice Bucaille's "Qur'an and modern scence"
· A book review of Maurice Bucalle's "The Bible, the Qur'aan, and science"
· A book review of Maurice Bucalle's "Origin of Man, Creation or Evolution."
· Muslims in the Media
· Dealing with Muslim Stereotypes
· Muslims: striving to be accepted
· Women in Islam
· Mixing of genders in Islaam
· What is Halaal Entertainment
· Sadaqah, investing in giving rather than taking

the deadline is

March 19th, 4 AM Cairo, London

(sorry, i'm trying to cover all the possibilities of locations that people might be in)

I'm asking Hidaya-folk because you can bring a UNIQUE insight to all of the topics that I've listed. HidayaOnline.com brings a modern perspective on what has been taught to us by the pious scholars of the past. Nasihah needs the same thing.

You'll need a word limit: 800 words.

Please e-mail me (hk2020@aol.com) and tell me if you'll be writing.

Salaam Akhi:

What is so debatable about the quote?

and Brother Hassan:

Who is the head of the selection commitee that decides what article is posted and what is not for this Dawah Issue of ISRU?

By the way, where are the deep blue sea articles that I used to read on this joint....there seems to be a drought nowadays...or should I say mental constipation!

Drama Queen,

I have access to my yahoo and hotmail accounts but not my aol...dont ask, long story...If anyone needs to contact me their best bet is to try Writing4Hidaya@yahoo.com.

Thank you come again.
WasalaamuAlaikum

btw, before Hidaya gets accused (once again) of writing too many marriage pieces, I wanted to state that this poem had nothing to do with marriage.

"Brother Hassan:

Who is the head of the selection commitee that decides what article is posted and what is not for this Dawah Issue of ISRU?"

selection committee...good idea.

I figured someone would have announced this on Hidaya already since its so big, but I guess it was overlooked. I really hope it was announced at ISRU...it could benefit a LOT of people inshaAllah...

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Starting March 14, 2005 insha'allah

for some reason this poem makes me think of julia roberts' character from that old movie "pretty woman" ..

wallahu alim... but i get the picture...

excellent poem...

... i think.

wow...reactions to my poetry are going from 'this sucks' to 'maybe its good, I cant tell'...I am moving on up!

alhamdulillah

and this poem was not inspired by julia robert's character...it is about a kind of spiritual prostitution...

woops - the "i think" was meant to refer to the "i get the picture" part

def an exc. poem.
