.........So don't click them too hard. Absolutely Priceless

Officially Forgotten

2006-01-15T14:03:00.000-08:00

Your officially forgotten, your out of my mind
I can't befriend people of your kind

Dude its over, its official
And to me its mutually beneficial

I dont care, deny aaaaalll u want
Winning me over is definitely a can't
And really all you can do is flaunt

Im happy that you made new friends
They'll come in handy cuz were at an end

I'm sorry that this is what it has to be
But I can no longer consider you a friend to me

Check out Myspace!!!

NEW POEM: Who Cares?

2005-12-29T14:04:00.000-08:00

The rollercoasters
the flies
the trees
the lies
Dont mean anything to me

the cars
the grass
the bars
the UN
Dont mean anything to me

So what who cares
Peace Keeping Who dares
Dreams lost bonds broken
lost of words yet outspoken

lying liers
lying friends
strong relationships
come to an end

People cry
People Die
All this why?
Cause no one cares

NEW POEM: UMCP, O UMCP!!!

2005-12-29T14:02:00.000-08:00

UMCP, O UMCP
I bestow upon you my love for thee

The Union, the Terp, and the MSA
Going down route 1 marks an exciting day

I love walking down Mckeldin mall
To observe the Testudo that supposedly knows all

O UMCP my acceptance I await
And to your classes I shall never be late

Engineering is my dream to be
Civil is intense, but I won’t flee

UMCP, O UMCP
How ur large “M” fills me with glee
Red, yellow, or however it might be

The Diverse Community that enriches you
You have Muslims, Chinese, and Egyptians too

UMCP, O UMCP
You’ll see me next Fall
I take an oath to study, care, and be courteous to all.

NEW POEM: this chance

2005-12-29T13:59:00.000-08:00

One chance is all your getting
That’s what the said in the beginning

i thought u would take its advantage
from lying u took a large dosage

a dosage that killed this friendship thing,
the memories however will continue to ring

man i cant believe u lost it
now for this friendship your not fit

sometimes i wonder why
and while i wonder i cry

why do people take chances for granted
after the words “I’m sorry” they’ve chanted

i believed u and ur fake tear
but now everything to me is clear

you’ve took the route of no return
u bought a 1 way ticket, and there you’ll learn

you’ll learn ur true mistake,
the chance that u drowned in ur own lake

before i leave you i must say
our friendship just died, and there it lays

A friend like me is very rare,
someone you talked to, someone who cared

your heart is hard like ice frost,
indeed a valuable thing you’ve lost,

this chance.

10 things we waste

2005-10-23T18:02:00.000-07:00

1. Our Knowledge: Wasted by not taking action with it

2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them without sincerity.

3. Our Wealth: Wasted by using on things that will not bring us ajr (reward from Allah). We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no benefit in this life or in akhirah (hereafter).

4. Our Hearts: Wasted because they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone else.

5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.

6. Our Love: Our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards something/someone else.

7. Our Time: Wasted, not used properly, to compensate for that which has passed, by doing what is righteous to make up for past deeds.

8. Our Intellect: Wasted on things that are not beneficial, that are detrimental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

9. Our Service: Wasted in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in dunyaa.

10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah) : Wasted, because it does not effect us or our hearts.

From Br. Mukhtar, based on a lesson of Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

4 things 2 keep in mind

2005-10-23T17:58:00.001-07:00

To Remember

1. You should always remember Allah (that he is always watching you)
2. You should always remember death (that you will die soon and meet your Lord

To Forget

3. And you should always forget the harm people have done towards you (because it will build up rancor and ill feeling in your heart)
4. And you should always forget your good deeds (so that you don't feel pride or arrogance)."--

Ali Bin Abi Talib
(May Allah be pleased with him)

You know ur egyptian when...

2005-10-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

- You call any older person you've never met before: uncle "Ammo" or "Khalu".
- Getting a visa to Europe or the States is like getting a baby,everybody tells you "mabrook"
-Every time you fly back home you meet relatives you never knew existed, and they look nothing like your family.
-You always curse at Egyptians when you are back home, but when you live abroad you make many Egyptian friends, and say how wonderful are the ones back home.
-Everyone is a family friend.
- If you graduated from school they'll tell you "Oqbal el Shahadeh el kebeerah", and when u get that "Oqbal el Aroosa orAreees", and when you get that "Oqbal ma nefrah be Aoulad-kum", and when you get that "Oqbal ma tefrahu bi! ! shahadit-hum", etc...
- You fight over who pays the dinner bill.
- If you are 25 and not married yet, your parents make you feel that you are getting too old
- You keep on saying Kol Sanna Wa Inta Tayeb left, right and center
- You always say "Open the light" instead of "Turn on the light " or" get down from the car" instead of "get out of the car."
- You pronounce your p's as b's (bebsi and bolice) unless you were raised also speaking a western language, a rare breed in present Egypt
-You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.
- Your parents were ranked first in school

Oh. I JUST LOVE EGYPT !!!

Senior Week and Inauguration

2005-09-29T20:42:00.000-07:00

Well this is it, this week was senior week, the days were:
Monday: Mardi Gras Day (They gave us beads)
Tuesday: International Day (My favorite out of all of them cuz i dressed up Shami style)
Wednesday: I love music/celebrity day (Uhh... I wore normal people clothes)
Thursday: Senior T-shirt day ( Our shirt said "Graduation 2006 The day i realized i just spent 113,880 hours of my life to receive a piece of paper and a handshake)
FRIDAY: SENIOR INAUGURATION: thats right underclassmen watch out cuz here we come. Alright enough of that stuff, the main point is we are OFFICIALLY SENIORS which = we can mug anyone in the hallway we want, oh yea and this is an inside joke we dont get shoved into mini-corners.

Mabrouk to me and everybody from the class of 2006, I'll try to post pics up about tommorow's inauguration.

Arab Pride

2005-09-27T19:30:00.000-07:00

I saw this flag map of most of the Arab world, which i wanted to share with u guys cuz i thought it was unique, creative, and cool. However, they are missing countries like Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan. Those countries may not have a place on this map, but they surely have a place in our hearts.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND COLLEGE PARK YAAAAY

2005-09-23T19:30:00.000-07:00

Umm yea Cya Salam

2005-09-23T19:13:00.000-07:00

Once, the people of The City invited Mulla Nasruddin to deliver a khutba. When he got on the minbar (pulpit), he found theaudience was not very enthusiastic, so he asked "Do you know what I am going to say?" The audience replied "NO", so he announced "I have no desire to speak to people who don't even know what I will be talking about" and he left.

The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time when he asked the same question, the peoplereplied "YES" So Mullah Nasruddin said, "Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won't waste any more of your time" and he left.

Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mullah to speak thefollowing week. Once again he asked the same question - "Do you know what I am going to say?" Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered "YES" while the other half replied "NO". So Mullah Nasruddin said "The half who know what I amgoing to say, tell it to the other half" and he left!

Joke - Media Slant

2005-09-13T21:50:00.000-07:00

A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog . He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl" The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves life of little girl'" – the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" – says the man. "Oh, what are you then? " The man says: - "I am a Saudi !" The next day the newspapers says: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.

A Typical Stereotype

2005-08-30T17:28:00.000-07:00

You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,
You know me not for what's inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,
My body's not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mold,
I'm an individual, I'm no mans slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,
I have a voice so I will be heard, For in my heart I carry His word,
"O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk,"
Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's a Law from God that I obey,
Oppressed is something I'm truly NOT,
For liberation is what I've got,
It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,
I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,
For God Himself gave us LIB-ER-TY,
When He sent Islam, To You and Me!

Over and Over Again

2005-08-18T18:35:00.000-07:00

Over and Over Again
I make these mistakes

Over and Over Again
I wonder how do I stop
How many tawbahs is it gonna take

Over and Over Again
While I’m praying in Congregation
I sit here confessing my sins in sujud to Allah
Because indeed he is the most compassionate
And forgives all

Over and Over Again
I think to myself that there are many sins by me committed
Can really take one tawbah to have them omitted
For some reason to me it feels like it’s out of the question
And that asking forgiveness is merely a transgression

Over and Over Again
The prophet says its ok to repent
In order to renew your relationship with Allah
Because indeed your bond with him needs to grow stronger
But I just feel as if my Angels can erase my deeds no longer

Over and Over Again
I go to these funerals and wonder if the deceased
Had time to say sorry
Because if he didn’t his entrance to Heaven may vary

Over and Over Again
Islam tells you “Wait turn back”
Go Pray and make tawbah because your record with Allah is black

Over and Over Again
You think about the things you owe people
The tower is now so tall that you can see its steeple
You sit here thinking about all these debts that you owe them
While Satin is screaming in your ear
“Come on lets go you should have no regrets”

Over and Over Again
You’re slowed down by the Allah’s words
“The Jannah doors will always be wide open”
But you think to yourself that with every tawbah they’ve now become ajar.

Finally the sheik says allahu akbar and you rise from sujud
And you say to yourself Over and Over Again
My God, offenses have clothed me in the garment of my lowliness; separation from Thee has wrapped me in the clothing of my misery! My dreadful crimes have deadened my heart, so bring it to life by a repentance from Thee!
Over and Over Again you say Amen

Salamos, hey i dont know if u guys know about this site or not but you should definitely check it out : www.maniacmuslim.com. However if u are not a muslim wanting to learn about Islam this isnt really a good start, but it is a good start for you if you wanna see how cool muslims can be. The site basically covers common misconceptions about muslims in a funny cool way, and also a whole bunch of other stuff.

Peace

2005-07-31T14:39:00.000-07:00

Peace is a dream that the world longs for and it shall only be acquired if we come together, and unite. I hope u like this poem and comment on it.

P-E-A-C-E

P-E-A-C-E, the five-letter word that humanity needs so much
Since 9-11 and peace has lost its luminous touch

Peace has been stolen and they cannot find the thief
Authorities have been searching, while people die with grief

It’s hard to sleep when fear coats your eyes
It’s hard to think when death buries you alive
It’s hard to breathe when all you can take in is gunpowder
It’s hard to see your newborn scream louder and louder
The newborn came to this life kicking and screaming because in his mother’s womb he felt safe

He now comes to this world and expects peace
All he wants is for the gunshots to cease

Peace shall be regained
Even though our hearts are with distress stained
Hand in Hand we shall help peace prosper
Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrowBut one-day inshallah we shall help peace step out of her sorrow
