Salams everyone -- AMILA is looking for hosts for its Sunday Iftar series. This is a great opportunity to share the blessing of Ramadan with the AMILA community. It is a fun experience as previous hosts can tell you. The Iftars are a great way for members of the community that may have smaller homes to participate. Iftar attendance is normally about 10-25, include both iftar and dinner, of which the dinner part is entirely potluck. If you would like to be a host for a Sunday Iftar, please email me at your ...

Someone made this wonderful spinach dip for my walimah and I've been craving for it since. Can someone post a simple recipe on how to make one? I saw one on line, but not sure whether I should use fresh spinach or can I use frozen ones or can I use the stalk or just the leaves. PS. I can't cook very well but then my first attempt in everything isn't that much of a disaster.

Dear villagers, I am back from Lebanon. It was an amazing trip. 1 week is never enough though. For some strange reason it was much harder to leave the country (emotionally) this time. I thought it took 3 weeks to get attached to a place/people. sigh. Back to WORK!
October 5, 2005 at 8:15pmsometimes decisions are made for political goals and those who make them don't hesitate to use religion as a tool sad but true.

Insha'Allah the Vikings will do us proud...poor Twins, they just aren't doing quite so well.... ma3salaama

While I look forward to the Holy and Special Month of Ramadan, I 'fess...I dread at the thought of not having my morning caffeine in the morning right before work. You see, there have been many rapid changes in my company and in recent months, I've been peppifying myself in the morning with caffeine to ensure alertness. No, I dont perform brain surgery, but it is still very important for me to stay wide awake at work, especially these days. So, I ask my fabulous fellow fasting friends, how do you stay... Read More

As Salaamu Alaikum Everyone. This simple yet warm hadith displays the immense compassion that Allah has for us all during the holy month of Ramadan. Thought I would share. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31, Number 122: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened."
September 25, 2005 at 8:27pmAssalam Aliekum, SubhanAllah. Allah's mercy has no boundaries!
September 25, 2005 at 6:30pmand the Shaitans and devils are chained... is that just during fasting? or throughout the whole month?i remember coming across some confusion with that every now and then.

The Light of the Prophet by Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi Numbers appearing in Brackets are references and are included below. "Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth . . . " The Light is one of the ninety-nine Beautiful Names of Allah. Light is that by which things become known. Things may exist in the dark, but they cannot be seen. Light may be physical, such as the light of the sun or the moon, or intelligible, like the light of the intellect. The latter is that which illuminates the darkness of i... Read More

MINIMIZING TIME ON NASEEB DURING RAMADAN? My opinion is that Ramadan is a time for worship or ibadah. It is a golden unique opportunity to get as many blessings as we can in this finite time. Naseeb, despite being a great resource to meet other Muslims, can take up a lot of time without us realizing it. Ramadan is not just about going hungry, but about submitting ourselves to Allah by abstaining from wordly desires during the day and in the few hours left after iftar, we can get extra blessings through wor...

October 1, 2005 at 10:04amLike Humanitarian said, "this may be the only place I come to during ramadan on naseeb." (although my naseeb usage has already been minimized.. sheesh)
October 1, 2005 at 10:01amI think everyone's going to meet up here before sehri. Yes it may sound weird but its happend so much before and may happen again this time :)
September 30, 2005 at 1:56pmlast year almost every JE was about ramadan which was awesome, and i think this VE idea will consolidate them and therefore 'waste' less time. so thanks for the idea lvely. i ca...

I am obsessed with Hayden Christensen, the actor who played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. I dream about him, and I don't find any other HOLLYWOOD male celebrities attractive other than him. My being so smitten with Anakin/Hayden is starting to get to me. What can I do? Sincerely, Smitten Star Wars Geek
September 30, 2005 at 2:28amI heard about Serenity...I definitely want to go see that.
September 30, 2005 at 2:28amI loathe Jar Jar Binks with all my heart. I think George Lucas was high when he decided to make him a major character in Star Wars Episode I.
September 29, 2005 at 10:23pmSerenity is based on JOss Whedon's series, Firefly. That series was kick a$$. If the movie is anything like the series, it will be great. Also Joss was the writer behind Ange...
