*ahem* Let me re-introduce to you: Fauzia.
I've been so laaazyyy in updating this blog. But, never fear! I've found some AWESOME videos that made my jaws drop down soOoOO looOOOW!
I was just browsing through youtube.com (as you do) and found this:
I'd be giggling all day if I taught my little boy to play like that- 'cuz I too play the drums. But NOT as good as this seven-year-old:
And, for the grand royale; MIKE PORTNOY! Any dear fans of the progressive rock band: Dream Theater? In my personal opinion they're THE GREATEST rock band that had ever existed in the universe! Don't agree with me? Check out this video of Mike Portnoy kicking ass on the drums (song: New Millenium):
That's all for now, y'all. I'd probably come back laterz. Take care!

Saturday, September 09, 2006
It's a little weird when I face myself with a new post. It's like....I don't know what to type or i've forgotten what crept into my mind a minute ago. However, when i'm away from the laptop I have all these thoughts that I tell myself should go into this blog. I haven't blogged for a week, that's un-fauz-like.
Robbie, Abdurrahman and I usually go out together on Saturdays but today was an exception - 'cuz of the beautiful rain. I HATE staying inside on weekends- I mean, I spend every living, frikkin', misreable, minute of my life inside the house with no transportation - except my legs. I can't use my car to drive yet, can't wait until i'm allowed to drive. If I was living on my own I wouldn't be complaining about staying indoors all the time because it's MY HOUSE- but that's not the case here........i'm praying that Allah will provide us with wealth so we could purchase our own space (Allah willing).
On a much brighter note, Abdurrahman and I are going over to my mum's house for the whole day tommorrow!! OHH YEEHH!! One of my high school friends said she'll come down to see the baby- can't wait to see you Lou! --> damn, I haven't msg'd her about 2mro, I better get to that soon.
I'm quite surprised that I feel rather sad about Steve Irwin's death. Would've been better if he was a Muslim- he'd make an excellent Muslim though, so passionate and enthusiastic in his deeds.
I remember a time when Nafeesa, Gema & I got together (before Gema departed for Spain) @ Naf's house and just hung out, I brang my guitar along.....driving my van....LOL! remember that one Naf? LOL. And we walked to a nearby park going on the swings and the slippery-slides. During mid-year 12 I started to bring my video cam-corder to special school events such as; Athletics Carnival, Talent Quests (in which I competed in for yr11 & 12), our yr12 luncheon & graduation. And since I brang my vid-cam practically everywhere Naf, Gemz & I decided to create a random documentary (mainly the ideas of skecthes came from gem & naf, and I being the camera-woman for 99% of the documentary, LOL) to show @ the Luncheon.
ANYWAY.....the day we got together before Gemz left for Spain, I brang my vid-cam along and recorded EVERYTHING we did, including the crazy episodes @ the park where Nafeesa did an impersanation of Steve Irwin: "G'day! My name is Steve Irwin and this is my wife, Terry. And today, we're gonna look at the most beeeauuutiful crocodiless in the wooorrrrrldd!!"
And since then I couldn't get Steve and his crocodiles out of my system- I had to impersonate him every chance I got.
It's 10:45pm and i'm so psyched about going to my mum's tommorrow!! I'm gonna see my cousin's baby, Hamzah.
Can't wait to see mah momma, poppa & brodaass.
I'll catch y'all laterz.........sadly i've ran out of Hadiths to post in here. Hopefully i'll get some more next time.
~Peace.

CONVEYING THE MESSAGE
It's been 2 days since my last blog...hehehe. How've y'all been? I'm great! It just occured to me, while feeding my son, that he's 8 months today around 4:10pm. I LOVE being a mum to my boy. Among many things he's just the best thing that's ever happened to me. It just feels so rewarding having him around 24/7; I feel so needed (hahah) that my son needs me and such. Even me being my lame self- he laughs at anything I do, that's a bond that can NEVER be broken.
Didn't do much; did my son's laundry, hung it out to dry- 'twas a beautiful day for the laundry today! Had THE best nap ever! After feeding my son's lunch, we played together for abit and then it was down to the beginning signs of sleepy-head. I love it when I put my face up-close to his. Snuggling up to this little person next to you- snug as a bunny.
On a serious note, I found these videos encompassing the subject of the Islamic laws on Hijab. I, for one, am proud to represent Islam by covering my modesty. I do not care how people look at me in the streets. Instead of criticising and complain about this way of life called Islam, why not research about it? Why do these women have such passion in wearing the veil? Well, here's your chance to watch and find out.
There's three (3) parts to this documentary. So sit back and view the world of Islam from a different perspective - if you decide to watch it.
Reveilations: insights into the hijab part1
Reveilations: insights into the hijab part2
Reveilations: insights into the hijab part3

HADITH OF THE DAY
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred minus one.
Whoever guards them (i.e. memorises them, understands them,
uses them) shall enter Paradise."

To Integrate Or Not To Integrate, That Is The Question.
When I heard this morning, on the news, that Mr. Johnny Howard wants Muslim migrants to learn English and integrate with the Aussies and embrace aussie lifestyle/values, I felt outraged!
What the heck is he getting at now? Why is the spotlight always shone on us Muslims? Just leave us alone and let us speak if it's Freedom of Speech that you're preaching. I mean, learning english has great advantages; but if the old folks don't want to and it serves no benefit for them, why bother?? Don't push people into doing something they don't want to do.
Johnny wants us to INTEGRATE and embrace aussie values. Just what ARE aussie values?? If it entails Muslims going down to the local pub and surround themselves with alcohol, let alone DRINKING some too- that is not on! And if it entails Muslim women to let loose of their Hijabs and long dresses and reveal their beauty to the world- that is out of the question!
Speaking of EQUALITY, I cannnot be more ticked off @ the PM for stating: "And it means understanding that in certain areas, such as the equality of men and women ... people who come from societies where women are treated in an inferior fashion have got to learn very quickly that that is not the case in Australia." For those of you who are in darkness and don't know a thing about Islam you'd best keep your eyes glued to this blog for a little bit.
Our Creator, Allah Almighty, created us human beings under the shade of EQUALITY. Meaning that we are equal in our human instincts; survival, procreational, and worshipping instincts. What makes men & women different is our RESPONSIBILITIES.
For example: a married couple (man & woman) with kids maintaining their household. A Father has the role to financially support his family and therefore he seeks work. A Mother's number one priority is to look after her kids and the household and therefore she either stays home and look after the kids OR she can go out into the workforce and help her husband AND look after the kids. And behind every successful man is a woman who maintains that success.
If Johnny Howards thinks, even for one second, that Islamic culture inferiorates women and their values, then he's got no idea whatsoever. In the time of The Prophet (peace be upon him), as long as 1400 years ago, women were even allowed to vote, own properties, have their own businesses and you're calling us Muslims 'ancient', 'backward'?? (pfFt!).
According to Australian history (i'm not really good with Australian History, so I don't know the dates of the events occured) women were NOT allowed to vote until a later time! (see, told you I wasn't good at dates). They were treated like rubbish and men held the assumption that women had no souls. What kind of a society is THAT?! And yet Johnny Howard criticises Muslims to treat their women as equals. Johnny, your head is messed up!! Read the whole article: Learn English, PM Insults Muslims.

HADITH OF THE DAY
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Verily there is a piece of flesh in the body,
if it is good, then the whole body will become good.
But if it is corrupt, then the whole body will become corrupted.
Verily it is the heart."
[Muttafaqqun Alaih]
Everything you've read is my Islamic opinion and if you don't like it, fine, I don't care, it's my opinion. And if you've got opinions which I don't like, fine, I don't care, they're yours to keep.
Just remember this: Islam promotes peace and NOT hatred. Jihad and suicide bombing is another subject that I can go into, but not now.
~Peace.
