Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
 So I’m taking English over the summer, right? Our teacher has given us a project in which we are to make a blog and post continuously for a week. I was thinking about giving this blog link, but I don’t really like handing out my blog in real life to acquaintances. Ya3nee, if they find it, then ok. So yeah, I’m thinking of making a new blog on live journal. I thought it would be an awesome opportunity for da3wah. What should I talk about on my blog? We have to hand in journals every class meeting and I have talked about the 5 pillars of Islaam. So what should I talk about on my blog? I was thinking I could talk about: tawheed (even though I already talked about it), women in Islaam, the justice/prison system (Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo), the effects of depleted uranium (and other weapons of mass destruction)….hmmm I need 3 more topics please. I might have some light topics just for fun too. Help me please. jazakumAllaahu khairun.

In addition to my lack of posts, I’ve had a lack of beneficial posts in general. Ya3nee, all my recent posts (most of which really haven’t been recent, save for the last two) have been just random, “fun” stuff. Time to get serious, folks.
So, as  I have mentioned, I went to AlMaghrib’s class, “The Code Evolved, Evolution of Fiqh” taught by Shaykh Yaser Birjas.
And the students of Qabeelah Tayybah have generously compiled “super notes” for the class. There IS one mistake that I noticed in there (there may be more, but I noticed this one). On page 86, under “Categories of Khilaaf,” fourth line down where it says “Diverse Khilaaf” - it should not be right and valid. Shaykh Yaser explicitly said that he wants to emphasize that it may be valid, but not necessarily correct/right. I say our qabeelah should show ‘em up and make even better super notes. =D Competition for the sake of Allaah, eh.

If it expires and you want it again, inshaAllaah request it here. =]
P.S. This was the price to pay: “Many brothers and sisters put some serious work into this, please make duaa’ for them and pass the notes around!”
-So, please don’t forget to make du’aa for them. Seriously, they did an awesome job mashaAllaah and it really helped me a lot. May Allaah make this a sadaqah jariyyah for them and give them the best always. Ameen.
 PS…jazakeeAllaahu khairan to http://istiqaamah.wordpress.com/ for the following, permanent link with the same notes. =D

I am pleased:
1. When I know I did something for Allaah’s sake
2. Waking up at Fajr to watch the sunrise and at Maghrib to watch the sunset
3. When I feel like I’m actually learning something. Yesterday I was watching the History channel. omA, it was amazing. It was about the sun and subhanAllaah - it just put me in awe once more about how amazing Allaah is. Like, you know how in elementary school they put you through the dreadful, boring documentaries during which you pretend to be watching thoughtfully, but  instead you are daydreaming about how you’re going to go home? Well, this was 100 x better than that.
4. When my family and I are joyfully doing an activity that we don’t mind participating in. And it’s even better when ALL of our relatives are over (and get along with each other/us)
5. WHEN I SEE A KITTYYYYYY/HORSE
6. When I see da3wah being given & it’s a bigger bonus when the party that’s having da3wah given to is actually listening.
7. That I have such awesome friends (lets not even talk about family say mashaAllaah
8. When I hear unusually amazing recitations of the Qur’aan full of emotion
9. When someone accepts naseeha/gives me naseeha without getting upset.
10. When I can reflect on the day and not be upset that I didn’t accomplish anything at all.
I tag: whoever wants a go at this, I’m tired of copy and pasting blog links lol. But ok, anyone reading this: do this! PLEASE? And then post your link here. Kthanks.
And the rules are:
You have to use the picture in my post.
You have to list exactly 10 points.
You have to tag 3 bloggers when you are done.

Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
 Well, I thought I would be able to get stuff completed once the Spring semester was over, thus being able to update my blog. But right when it ended, I had a bunch of stuff to do. Lemme explain why I haven’t updated:
1.) School - SO much homework and, of course, can’t forget the studying
2.) Da3wah table - I was, at one point, officially obsessed with the days we had the da3wah table. I would sometimes not attend class just to be at the da3wah table. But, I learned from that mistake (ditching classes). Starting now, I’m going to limit my time away from class inshaAllaah
3.) I took the AlMaghrib class (I took The Code Evolved with Shaykh Yaser Birjas - I think he’s my favorite instructor from the institute thus far). It started the day after Spring Semester was over and pretty much kept us busy for two weeks.
4.) Barbeques/picnics
5.) Now I have wedding things (mehendi, bridal shower, shaadi, walima, etc) - let’s see…I have four different people’s “stuff” (some of which was mentioned in the previous parenthesis) to attend - two which are very far from where we live.
6.) Summer classes (which began last Wednesday for me).
7.) Halaqahs (and halaqah assignments)
And to be honest, I’m getting kind of sick of the online world. Well, at least, it seems way less appealing than it did before. I guess I have realized that wherever you go (be it online, real life, on the phone), you tend to run into people that stink (not literally). There’s drama in both worlds (real life and online), but in real life you have a better grasp of things. Allaahu Alam. It’s not to say that online people aren’t great (a lot of them are - some of my dearest friends are from the net). Anyways, whatever. Please du’aa for me. InshaAllaah I will update later on. Sorry for not updating (to the few that actually read my newest posts lol).
 Tc, Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
