  • By Aamir Ashraf 24 minutes ago ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - An undersea cable carrying data between Pakistan and the outside world has developed a serious fault, virtually crippling data feeds, including the Internet, telecommunications officials said Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT The system crashed late Monday and was still down on Tuesday evening. Many offices across the country ground to a halt as people realized it was not one of Pakistan's regular, but usually brief, technical hitches. "It's a worst-case scenar... Read More

 
  • Assalaam 'alaykum, UMKC Grads. Most of you have probably not met me before as I started practicing Islam only a few months before I left K.C. to move to Michigan to begin my Ph.D. studies in literature at the University of Michigan. I graduated in 2002 and took a few semesters of graduate courses and worked at the Writing Center for six months last year. I've been in Ann Arbor now for about a year. Fatimeh invited me to join this village. I hope everyone is finding their post-graduate life to be rewarding a... Read More

  • Being a very good copycat, i am copying the village 'surveys' tradition to start this JE for all those who cannot read each other's comments and would like to connect to each other. I know it would have made a lot more sense if it was started by someone with a premium membership but in the absence of any such help, i am giving it a try. I myself cannot read some of the comments and would like to be added by someone who is connected to many people or a premium member. I hope somebody will be nice enough to help.

    I'm in love, met him here, but can't say who he is. It can happen. But I don't think most guys here are seriously looking for someone other than to fornicate with.

  • Before mankind lived upon this earth. Adam was created without father or birth. Allah made him from different colored clay. So that is why our skins are colored in this way. Some of us are dark and others a kind of white. But it is only our belief that separates us in His Sight. He made us all to know one another. To become sisters and brothers each to the other. But satan has worked hard to disrupt this perfect plan. by scheming, devising and then separating man. So forget about the reflecti... Read More

SInce then, 900 american soldiers died, 500 car bombings, 2221 deaths from those bombings over the past year, and over 8,000 iraqis died. what was supposed to be a "cakewalk" is turning the US to have to negotiate with the insurgents. how come nobody mentioned the news that the US is holding talks with the enemy? shocking indeed innit? www.arabnews.com section=0& article=65980& ...

  • The miracle, the Quran. So brothers and sisters, to increase your iman. Here's a fact for the ones who are keener. 92 surahs revealed in Mecca, 22 in Medinah. Read it every day and to read it be proud. The word Quran means to read it aloud. Read the book from the Lord of the worlds. Over 6,000 verses and 77,000 words. Read with respect, no disturbance, no laughters. From Al Fatiha to An Naas, all 114 chapters. And in it 14 times you need to prostrate. And say Allah ho Akbar, meaning Allah is... Read More

  • Dune in Books

    I was interested in people's thoughts on the Dune novels- meaning the original 6 by Frank Herbert, and not the lame prequels written by his son and Anderson. I first read the original Dune several years ago, and only recently (in the past 2 years) read the others, and I think they're a great set of science fiction literature. Sure, they each have some low points and a strange premise, but make up for what they lack in characterization, plot, and just great story-telling. And the first novel is definitely my f...

    June 27, 2005 at 11:25pm
    Great books! Although I wish Frank would have written novels just about the Butlerian Jihad, the Navigators Guild, and the Bene Gesserit.
 
  • All praises are for you Allah, how I hope that you are there. For sinful though I know I am, your displeasure I can not bear. Never, till this moment, did I realize how much I've strayed. Never, till now, was I more conscious of all those times when I should have prayed. For sins are like heavy baggage, that one carries through Life, the airport. Why didn't I realize sooner, that Earth is but a place of sport? Ya Allah ! Forgive me. Save me from the fire of Hell. Forgive me as you did my parents, fr... Read More

 
  • Salah is a basic pillar of Islam. It is mentioned again and again in the Quran. The importance of prayer is in seven hundred places. But in the mosque,do you see many young faces? Praying in the mosque gives 27 times the reward. Pray with the intention that you're pleasing your Lord. When you walk to the mosque,just remember within. You gain a reward and you're losing a sin. For every step towards your destination. This is a blessing from Allah(swt) to his creation. The Quran has foretold, th... Read More

  • Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) When truth was lost and hearts frozen. From you, Allah came a Prophet, chosen. Blessed Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), obedient to you. Taught us the things we ought to do. He taught us for certain that you are one. And that you have neither a daughter nor son. He taught us to be good to our mother and father. And that Paradise lies under the feet of our mother. I love you my Prophet and sing your praise. And follow your Sunnah(way), prophetic ways. One day I will come t... Read More

 
  • I was wondering, at what age should parents teach thier kids about sexual abuse or harrassment? Not only by an adult but also by other kids. Sometimes kids between the ages of 9-12 ask thier younger siblings/friends to show thier private parts, so I was wondering when should we start teaching our kids about this. What is the appropriate age and how to do this?
