  • Salam alaikom, I think Fajr could be the most difficult for many of us to stick to, especially in the summer months when it comes so early. Yet the benefits for praying Fajr regularly and on time are great. Sometimes we need help to get up... it's nice to have someone who will give you a wake up call. For awhile I tried this trick: I set the alarm on my cell phone, and put a touch lamp by my bed. I leaned the cell phone against the touch lamp, so that when I grabbed the phone to turn off the alarm, I would... Read More

  • I want to compare mental health to physical health: If my bicep muscles are weak and I have to lift heavy objects, I can workout my biceps and body to gain muscle strenght so I can finally lift the object I want to to lift. Some people are natually strong, some are not, but everyone can get stronger if they exercise. To live contented lives and have healthy relationships, we need to have "well defined" mental muscles. We need those muscles to know our feelings and needs and respond to them positively. We have... Read More

  • Has anyone seen Chronicles of Narnia?! My goodness...it was like experiencing a slow torture. Just when you think you might find some relief in dosing off during the movie you are rudely jarred by this strange soundtrack they've (they as in the movie people) chosen. It was just queasy. Anyway mind you I haven't even compared it to the book yet... positive....the girl playing Lucy was like watching a 75 year old trying to get away with trying to come across as a little girl. Old soul anyone!? But still cute enou... Read More

  • Hey Guys, In reading over past journals I notice the wealth of knowledge among the group. Would anyone be interested in attending a weekend retreat where we can all learn and share experiences with one another? I think it would be cool to have people who have expertise in certain areas present to the rest of us. Share equipment knowledge, dig vs film discussions, studio lighting etc. Or - just go out and shoot in different environments or locations for the weekend. Im in Chicago so if there are eno...

  • Do you think that you shall enter the Garden of Bliss without such trials as came to those who passed before you? --al Quran do we learn from the ones before us? do you think we really take comfort and share the pain in the ways our ancestors did not? why does history repeat and none of us take heed in what the truth is? how can we expect to better ourselves if we dont learn from the past.

  • Salaamua laikum, I want to learn how to read urdu, the problem is I can't find any place to take a course (for adults that is). So I thought I'd learn on my own so I bought some basic books. But I'm finding that it would really help if I had materials that had the urdu with English transliteration and meaning. Does anyone know where I can get those types of books? wa-salaam
