There once was an Indian who had only one testicle [ no names please] and who was given the name was 'Onestone'.
He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
After years and years of torment, Onestone finally
cracked and said, 'If anyone calls me Onestone
again, I will kill them!'
The word got around and nobody called
him that any more.
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird
forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.'
He jumped up, grabbed her and beat her,
until Blue Bird died.
The word got around that Onestone meant what
he promised he would do.
Years went by and no
one dared call him by his given name until a woman
named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being
away. Yellow Bird, who was Blue Bird's cousin, was
overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged hi and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest,
then he beat her and beat her and beat , but Yellow Bird wouldn't die!
WHY you may ask?
… coz you cant kill two birds with one stone…hehehehehaha lolJ

SAMI YUSUF&the most AMAZING NEW SUPERCHARGED KFC ZINGER BURGER...
yes... u guessed it... i had a bite of the new zinger. WOW! its hot... burning hot.. with a delicate taste of ' OHmy gosh" delicious. its a normal zinger... but with more bite. What i liked about it though is the factthat they did not compromise on the taste. the substance of their traditonal 12herbs and spices remains.. but coated in a differenet contexxt. it certainly did leave an indellible impression on me. it stung arite.. but boi... the memory has been created... and the mark has been left.... my tongue felt alive... and important.
As we appraoch the coming days of Dhull Hijja... i cant help but reminincse... and reflect... and all that have stood on the sacred plains of Arafaat will tell.. and all those who return... will undoubtedly inform that the day of Arafaat... is unquestionably one of the most memorable days in a persons life. It is a day when you feel Allah swt's Mercy descending upon you... when one is left speechless... and humbled... for being given the oppertunity to seek out from your Lord his forgiveness and Bounties. the awe inspiring reality of it all is that ... on Arafaat... you realise the simplicity of our Dean. You see its beauty.. and you feel conforted by the fact that out of billions of people... their you stand... their you stand.
ALLAH Hu AKbar!!!
It is commonplace that Allah swt has many names... they our often reffered to as the 99 names of Allah. They are attributes which descirbe the unique qualities of Allah SWt... and allow us in our limited human faculties to try and understand who our RABB is... through these attributes we gain a greater appreciation of Allah SWt... which will hopefully make us better muslims... and attributes which we will attempt to inculcate into our lives... our behaviur. our character.
in the coming days of HAJJ... let us all try to draw a greater understanding of Allah swt and His divine Attributes... after all as someone posed the question to me... How can we say we trully love Him if we do not know him?
... by understanding the attributes of Allah swt perhaps... we could develop within us a greater sense of moral purpose... which will ultimately increase our imaan... and may Allah Swt increase us all in our imaan...
Al Malik ... the only powerful authority on whose support every thing of the universe is completly dependent... refer to sura al muminum: 116
Ar RAzzaq... is the one who allocates and disburses resources for existence .. refer to surah al hashr: 23
Al fatagh ... He who opens the solution to all problems and eliminates obstacles.
The day of Arafaat confirmed these attributes for me ... and gave it a context. it made everything real... This is a special day and a special feeling. For those who'v expereince it... it is a wonderful time... and for those wanting to expereince it... please fast the day... praise Allah SWt... and do good... for those are the things that will obtain Allah swt's pleasure...
ARAFAh...is a day when you realise yuor place in the world and sumbit. You are humbled bythe sheer power of the expereince taking control over you... when the time of wuqoof hits... OH My gosh ... ALLAh hu akbar... u can hear a pin drop... millions of people and yet you can hear a pin drop...!!!!
in those moments your belief in the Kalima... grows and stregnthens...
and if you didnt know it before... Allah is One... Allah is all powerful and in control of everything... and thats when you feel the most alive... yet prepared to die.
Laa illah ha illalaa mugumad urasoolulaah...
And may Allah swt... give strenght to our brothers and sisters and May he accept thier hajj and their sacrifice for His Cause, Ameen.
think. reflect. ponder.
Fluit fluit ...
