How many times has this happened to you? The stories remain the same, from the first note you passed in grammar school, to the woman you met through a mutual friend in college: ? You meet a girl who is everything you ever wanted in a life-partner: attractive, funny, smart, great personality, laughs at your jokes, understands who you are as a human being, etc. You talk to her briefly, and find out that she is even more attractive now that you've spoken to her. You ask her out. She says to you: "I J... Read More

Oooo ... I know I?m gonna get a beating for this. But that?s ok, cuz our community needs to understand the points here. This is for all those girls who want ?an awesome guy.? In other words, this is for most girls. Remember, I?m ONLY trying to help. You can take it or leave it ? your choice. One thing I?ve never understood is why almost all desi girls want guys who are better than them at just about everything. Guy?s gotta be financially better, more educated (at leeeeast as educated), physically stronger an... Read More
May 20, 2005 at 10:56ammomo.....i think the whole idea of 'loosing respect' for someone CAN go either way. Mostly it was girls who used to loose respect in the eyes of their husbands, just like you sa...
May 20, 2005 at 10:44amWow! Hmm, momo, you have definitely given alot of girls something to think about:) I don't have the time right now to go back and read all the comments. I think that most girls ...
May 13, 2005 at 6:35pmHOWEVER, it must be kept in mind that alot of these standards we create for our significant other have to do w/ nature and genetic programming. Women are the child-bearers and ...

If Prophet Muhammad visited you just for a day or two If he comes unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do! Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room To such an honoured guest And all the food you serve to him would be the very best And you would keep assuming him You are glad to have him there That serving him in your own home Is a joy beyond compare But...when u saw him coming would u meet him at the door with arms outstretched in welcome To ur heavenly visitor? Or...would u have to change ur clothes ... Read More

Salaam all! I work with a volunteer group called Chicago Cares. The agency is hosting its annual service day on June 11. They expect about 10,000 volunteers--mostly corporate groups--to come out and work on community projects. I signed up as a project site manager (PSM) and went to the orientation tonight, where they mentioned that they are 100 PSMs short for this year. So I thought I should put the word out there to you guys...hoping that some of you amazing souls will step up and sign up :) Please check o... Read More
April 29, 2005 at 3:09amcool. i'll check out the camp site. along with more volunteers, the group is still looking for Project Site Managers (PSMs)to be "in charge" of approximately 20-30 volunteers ...

I'm moving to DC in a few weeks for a new job. The job is in Tysons Corner but I think I'd like to live in DC. I'm finding how hard it is to find apts that have parking in DC. Does anyone live in the Tysons Corner/McLean area? Is it really suburban (quiet) or is it ok for a single professional? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks, Arfa
May 28, 2005 at 10:31pmi live in dc and love it...although my rent is kinda high. I live in NW DC and pay 1215/month (for a 1 bdrm) + 150/month for parking in the garage downstairs. I live a block awa...
May 27, 2005 at 8:08pmhey, thank you to laila for posting this and to everyone for their comments... i'm moving there too (in a few months) and this has been really helpful for me :)
May 27, 2005 at 4:45pmArfa: For a single person I would say that Tysons is more quiet. You'd be better off in Arlington, or DC if you want to socialize and limit your commute in the morning. If ...

I have many that I could mention here. However, I will only mention the newest one that I love. "Imagine having to choose between the one you love and your fam. It's like having to cut off your right or left hand." It might seem childish on the surface. But there is much depth there that many could relate to.
May 30, 2005 at 4:22pmMy fav quote is ... "I always wept for a pair of shoes, until I found a man with no feet."

I am curious about this celebration. I am not very learned about sufism, and so have joined this village to try and gain more knowledge, as I am intrigued. My question is this: If the prophet did not celebrate his own birthday and it was not celebrated by those that loved him most after his death (i.e, Beebi Aisha, Ali, etc.) then what makes it permissible for us to commemorate this day now? I mean, why this certain day of all days? I thought birth date has no real significance in Islam and was actually d... Read More
April 28, 2005 at 4:39amOne who knows love needs no calling to celebrate the purpose of his love. The "dedicated celebration" merely serves to facilitate the sharing of this love with all others, whet...
April 27, 2005 at 6:04amLike I said, it is only one example out of many Qur'anic and hadith verses that scholars have used to determine that celebrating the birth of our Beloved Prophet (saws) is ...
April 27, 2005 at 6:00amDear Superman, I am ignorant of correct pronounciation unfortunately, so I've always used that transliteration since a Qur'an teacher I had as a child drilled it into ...

I've been recently pondering about the guidelines of halaal/haraam meat. I've grown up in a family where my parents always told me to eat Zabiha meat and nothing else. I was never allowed to eat any meat from restaurants or any products that had that kind of stuff. Recently I came into contact with someone that said that Zabiha is purely a Sunnah, but it is not haraam to eat meat that has not been slaughtered the Zabiha way. Does anyone know what exactly Muslims are supposed to be eating in terms of meat?
April 27, 2005 at 10:38pmI wanted to ask the same question. However, since I don't have the answer so I only eat zabiha meat. Here in Canada there is a certificate issued by some Muslim organizatio...
April 27, 2005 at 1:17pmYou should check the stamp or seal on their box of meat (and hope they haven't just shown you a box they keep for such purposes).... in the UK they are supposed to have a h...
April 27, 2005 at 4:21amAll I know is that more halal meat is consumed in England than is produced!!..

Rania al-Baz said her husband, Mohammed al-Fallatta, beat her so hard earlier this week that he broke her nose and fractured her face in 13 places. She is recovering in hospital.

First graders can be really cute - the majority of them at least! But there's one thing I really get bothered by...Any single opportunity they get - the children must come up to me and tell me every single detail of what happened to them every second at recess, lunch and before school. After trying to look interested and amused for about 1.5 months....I just can't fake it any longer. How do I get kids to stop hounding me to tell me every detail of their lives without hurting their feelings?? Help!
July 11, 2005 at 7:12pmSalaam! I know exactly what you mean - my grade threes also had the need to share every single detail. And, as much as I loved them, there wasn't enough time in the day to hea...
April 28, 2005 at 11:37pmi tell my kids to tell a friend or tell the person beside them if they are sitting in the center.. they just love to share and need to feel validated.. if they come to u to tell...

Inshallah, my dad and I will be visiting Washingtion DC from May 30th to June 10. My sister just moved there after getting married last year. Has anyone visited The Cheese Factory in Washington DC? I watched a show on this restaurant chain and the food and service seemed amazing. Need to know what are the key places to visit and when is the best time to visit them. Do Washington DC Naseebers get together often? Perhaps we can all meet up while I am in town. Update: ================================... Read More

No not the baby biological clock that women are supposed to be working to.. but the desire to settle down.. Is it there for men, as it is for women Is it significant / urgent or easily ignored And what form does it take ( I want to be young enough to play with my kids or .. some other) I have heard a few men, sorry, loafers, describe life and the marriage question as 'There's no hurry, I don't have a biological clock, I don't worry about it, it'll happen.. at some point..'

Bangalore is battling it out with Hyderabad to become the Silicon Valley of India. This is pretty cool for me since I was born and raised in Bangalore, India but my family is from Hyderabad, India and I had lived in Hyderabad a few months before moving to Toronto, Canada. What do I end up doing in Toronto, Canada? Working in IT! Leaving future Silicon Valleys to work in IT in Canada! I think this is quite ironic! Whenever there is outsourcing talk about jobs going to India, I smile and say I am happy ... Read More
