Pondering...
First of all I wanted to thank you all for the sweet comments you added on my last post. :) i love you all!
Anyways I was just talking to a friend on the phone yesterday when she told me she was "yuyu". Because she said something and then was like "Oh, I just made fun of Christians". After that I was like "Wait but aren't you christian?" and she told me that she actually wasn't, she was a religion called "yuyu." I asked her what it was and she explained to me. So apparently it is a group of people who don't believe in the strictness of their religion or believe in scientific evidence rather than having a God. But they also believe all reigions are correct/right/true. That's really all I could understand because she didn't seem like she wanted to tell me much about it. So I kinda kept quiet and didn't aske alot of questons because she said that once she told 2 of her friends that she was "yuyu" and they had stopped talking to her cuz they were strict christians and were mad at her for not believing there was a God.
But anyways after we hung up, questions came rushing to my head. This is what I was wondering:
1. If they believe that all religions are true, then why not take one up? I mean like instead of being religion-less.
2. And if they believe all religions are true and those religions believe in God, then how would they think they were true if they themselves didn't believe in God?
3. Why did they celebrate Christmas and all other christian holidays, if they weren't christian?
4. And since they're not christian why celebrate christian holidays and not other holidays of different religion?
5. Do they pray/go to church or something?
6. What kind of scientific evidence could they provide about the creation of the world and other miracles?
I don't know these are just some of my questions that I would be thinking of. If you know the answers to any of these please feel free to educate me! And by the way, I'm not sure if that's how you spell "yuyu" it might be a different spelling I'm not sure.
From your little sister in Islam (Moi)!!
I feel so much better now and I'm going to become a better person now. Ok so this is like a "New Years Resolution" almost 3 months into the New Year lol.
Anyways I'm going to try to smile when someone insults me and become less sensitive about things people say/do. Cuz I'm tired of caring about everything someone says about me/to me that is mean. Because you know what? They can just go suck it up, anything bad said about someone, comes bouncing back to whoever said it, so there. :p And another thing I want to work on, well it's something that's been going on in my head for forever, but I'm going to try to memorize the whole Quran and learn it by heart. I've decided on starting from Juzu' 30 and going backwards through the Quran, because obviously if i started to memorize the Quran from Surat ALbaqara, it'd probably ruin my whole "enthusiastic" mood, if you know what I mean lol. :)) So inshallah I want to start as soon as I can... :P
Anyways that was just a check up again. :) Hope you're all taking care of yourselves and haing a great time
Your little sister in Islam,
malekat_el7oriya :P

Just because i wear a hijab, doesn't mean I can't speak english.
So this is the breakdown of what happened today at school. We had a sub for our health/gym class. He was the most racist person I have ever known. First, when he was telling us to quiet down me and a couple friends were zoning out and daydreaming, but apparently he was talking to us and and telling us to pay attention. He was like "Do you guys understand me? Please listen!" and I was, like I said daydreaming like all the rest of my friends. But of course being the racist person he is, singles me out, in front of the whole class and asks me if I understood what he was saying. And he didn't mean the regular check over sorta "Do you understand" but the whole "Do you understand English?" wtf! I mean how unfair is that? Of course he doesn't single out any of my other friends, just me. WHY? Simple, I was wearing a hijab, and i didn't look like an american. So of course that gives him the green sign to ask if I understood english. Yea...that's happened to me twice. Twice. Just because I wear a scarf covering a bunch of dead cells on the top of my head that gives them so much reason to ask if I spoke english. But the funny thing is, I don't have any accent whatsoever, I (not bragging at all) write essays and poems amazingly and I speak BETTER english than that teacher that singled me out. And if that's not enough, I get better grades in English class than anyone I know. But of course that's not enough. I bet you 100 dollars, that if I had perfectly white, white skin and blond hair and blue eyes, he would not have even bothered to ask me. Or what was better, if I had been black and had perfect curly hair that I flung, he would have laughed with me and joked along. But of course, me with the dark brown eyes, some what tanned skin, and scarf on my head predominentley made me stop knowing how to speak english. That is racism, that is messed up racism.
And then, after this, he gave us a test/survey thing to answer. When we were done, he told us to get out ipods, phones, whatever, as long as we were quiet. So my friends and I got out our phones and texted eachother quietly. Key word: QUIETLY. And there were two students sitting in front of us (both black) chatting away and discussing their phones. Yet this teacher, looked at me and my friends(who all happened to be white) and yelled at us for getting out our cellphones. WHAT?! Then, he took them away and told us to pick them up at the office after school ends with an adult. Yet he clearly had seen the two students in front of us talking and using their phones, but he of course said NOTHING because they were the same race as he. Therefore that gives him all the reason to not confiscate their cellphones. How nice. So...after that, in my last period class, I was working along with a friend of mine and we were filling out a sheet on why we chose to do a project about Mother Teresa. Anyways, my friend was like "I read a book on her and thought it was interesting." And so I was teasing her around and I said, " So you do know how to read!" because this particular friend HATED HATED reading. And she knew I was teasing, and usually she would laugh along and think up of a good come back to keep me quiet. But for some reason, she was sort of sad today and didn't answer. But the student teacher who was there, came over just as I said that and started yelling at me about being mean to this girl. I was just kidding and my friend knew it. So after that, I just couldn't take it anymore, and broke down crying. I ran to the bathroom and started to cry really bad. But in the bathroom, I found the friend I was joking around with. She kept asking me what was wrong and everything just spilled out. I was sick of everything. I told her, I was just kidding when I said that she couldn't read, and she said she knew that but she was just sad and really didn't feel like joking around. And I couldn't control my crying.I just kept crying and then finally, I pulled myself together and went back to the classroom.It's just not fair how everyhting was anymore. Did I really need to go to the extent of making a shirt that said "Just because I wear a hijab, it doesn't mean I don't understand english"? Because if I had to do that I would.

Oranges are red Violets are blue
Subhan allah, my mom and i went grocery shopping and we were at the fruit section. I looked around and stopped at a basket with oranges. These oranges were orange(duh!) but they were blotched red too. My mom told me they were usually somewhat reddish on the inside too. So of course I beg her to get them cuz i really want to try red oranges .lol. We get 4 oranges(and other stuff too) and go back home. At home, for some reason I'm really excited about trying the oranges. I ask my dad to peel the orange and cut it up because I really can't be trusted with sharp objects (mwahahhaha). My dad peels it and gives it to me to eat. But the color of it is AMAZING. It's like a really dark blood red on the inside. We've never seen anything like it. Mom says the oranges she's eaten before are usually red but not THIS red. Anyways, they are probably the BEST oranges I've ever eaten subhan allah. ANd they were special enough for me to take pictures of them! The pictures aren't really clear because the camera was having a mind of it's own but anyways...
Poetry1: The same wind
The same wind
I travel down the dust swept road
Calm, and anxious
And I feel like I’ve been here before
Gone down this old
Harmonious road
Apple picking
Handed that same ash-torn basket
Pressed against my darkened palm
With that same feeling
The peaceful contentment
That lay heavy against my heart
I walk into the darkened shed
Where I had stood
Some years ago
Waiting for my first lesson
On how to apple pick
I remember sitting on my dad’s shoulder
Waiting for him to stop
Under the shade of some huge tree
The same tree I’ve picked from, ever since
The branches bend down obediently
As I put my weight on one of the apples
I tug on the big, red fruit
And hold it in my hands
I wonder if it could be the same apple I had picked with my dad
Too bad we hadn’t taken pictures
I sit down on the old road
And take a bite of the apple
Why is it so quiet?
***
I take the apple and throw it into one of the big containers
That stand beside the tree
The core thumps against the bottom of the metal can
Alone
Now what?
***
I walk up the wooden steps
On to the platform
I can’t remember a time when I hadn’t stood on the platform
After a long day of apple picking,
What I’d give for my dad to be here
***
It still smells the same
That same misty, calm smell of October
Those same burnt gold trees decorate the outside of the field
***
Red and yellow Chrysanthemums circle the wooden platform
In fiery anger
They toss and turn
Raging at the world
***
It was just my imagination
***
The autumn wind whips my dark hair
In circles
I start to shiver
And hug myself tight against the powerful wind
***
I remember my dad’s jacket
And how he’d always let me wear it
When it got this cold
***
I’m pretty sure it’s the same wind
That blew years ago
Signs of The day of Judgment
One thing that I've always captured my attention when people (sheiks etc) talk about islam is the hereafter and the signs of the Day of Judgment. So I did a little bit of research on the subject.
First sign is the appearance of Imam Mahdi. The word "Mahdi" means the guided one. Hadhrat Ali (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "Even if only a day remains for Qiyamah to come, yet Allah will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression." (Abu Dawood. Imam Mahdi will be the first to be sent down to humans.
His Emergence and Rule
“Hadhrat Umme Salmah (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, “After the death of a Ruler there will be some dispute between the people. At that time a citizen of Medina will flee (from Medina) and go to Makkah. While in Makkah, certain people will approach him between Hajrul Aswad and Maqaame Ibraheem, and forcefully pledge their allegiance to him.
Thereafter a huge army will proceed from Syria to attack him but when they will be at Baida, which is between Makkah and Medina; they will be swallowed into the ground.
On seeing this, the Abdaals of Shaam as well as large numbers of people from Iraq will come to him and pledge their allegiance to him. Then a person from the Quraish, whose uncle will be from the Bani Kalb tribe, will send an army to attack him, only to be overpowered, by the will of Allah. This (defeated) army will be that of the Bani Kalb. Unfortunate indeed is he who does not receive a share from the booty of the Kalb. This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the battle. He will lead the people according to the Sunnat and during his reign Islam will spread throughout the world. He will remain till seven years (since his emergence). He will pass away and the Muslims will perform his Janazah salaat." (Abu Dawood) …
While the people will be pledging their allegiance to Imam Mahdi, a voice from the unseen will call out:
"This is the representative of Allah,
The Mahdi, listen to him and obey him"
Imam Mahdi is said to come when the world and people are very confused, and there will be so much death and turmoil, that a person won’t be able to find a place to stay from all the oppressiveness and fear. There will be many battles and fitnaas and the people will be so scared that they only wish they could die. This is when Imam Mahdi will appear and help the people. But before his appearance there will be many tribal fights, and the people going to Hajj will be “looted” and a battle in Mina will take place where tons of people will be killed and murdered. A man; known as the Sufyani, will appear before Imam Mahdi, and will be a tyrant who spreads evil and corrupts the people and earth. He will murder children and women and kill many, many people. When he hears that Imam Mahdi is coming, The Sufyani will try to send his army to capture and kill him, but the earth will swallow up his army before they even reach Imam Mahdi.
Abu Huraira (R.A.) has narrated that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, ''A man will emerge from the depth of Damascus. He will be called Suffyani. Most of those who follow him will be from the tribe of Kalb. He will kill by ripping the stomachs of women and even kill the children. A man from my family will appear in Haram, the news of his advent will reach the Suffyani and he will send forth one of his armies. He (referring to Imam Mahdi) will defeat them. They will then travel with whoever remains until they come to a desert and they will be swallowed. None will be saved except the one who had informed the others about them. '' (Mustadarak).
So first, Imam Mahdi appears in Makah and then goes to Medina. An army (The army of Mansour) will go to Makah to help Imam Mahdi. On their way they win many, many battles and no one can stop them. The Suffyanis (army sent by Sufyan to kill Imam Mahdi) are then swallowed by the earth on their way to Mekah. Then, Imam Mahdi and his Muslim army go to “confront” the Christians. There will be a battle, but before that, the Christians will ask the Muslims to return their prisoners of war, but the muslims will refuse. They start to fight and A third of Imam Mahdi’s army will flee (their repentance will not be accepted), one-third will be martyred, and one-third will gain victory over the Christians. The Muslim army and Imam Mahdi will then conquer Palestine. Imam Mahdi goes back to Syria and re-establishes Muslim rule after the Christians have taken over it. But at this time, many Muslims are weak and the righteous and pious will be very little in number.
Then there will be signs of the appearance of Dajjal. Before he appears, there will be three years of drought. And then Dajjal will appear and claim to be Prophet Jesus (Peace be Upon him), and will spread much hatred and corruption. The yahudis; his followers will be very fancily dressed in silk and carry expensive swords. He will go around the world telling people he is the prophet. Then the true Prophet Jesus will appear in Imam Mahdi’s lifetime and Dajjal will lead his army in a war against Prophet Jesus and his followers. Prophet Jesus and Imam Mahdi will defeat Dajjal at the Gate of Hudd, near an Israeli airport in ‘Ifiq’. The muslims are therefore victorious, and at the death of Dajjal, there is going to be total peace and harmony on earth. The earth will be rich in crops and the people will follow Islam. Prophet Jesus (A.S.) will then receive a revelation that tells him that Yajooj and Majooj (two tribes existing even now but are imprisoned) will be released, and create much trouble on the earth, but the believers will be taken to Mt. Toor. Yajooj and Majooj will reach Jerusalem and say that they have conquered the world. It is said that they will shoot arrow into the sky to conquer the heavens, but their arrows will come back blood-stained. At Mt. Toor, where the believers are, there will be a lot of hardships and there will not be enough provisions and food. Prophet Jesus and the rest of the Muslims will pray for the removal of the calamite. Their prayers are answered and Yajooj and Majooj will develop an infection and die. The muslims again pray that birds come down and dispose of Yajooj and Majooj in the ocean. After this, it will rain for forty days and the earth will be fresh and rich in crops, and there will be a peace on earth, while Prophet Jesus (A.S.) is alive for 19 years after marriage. Prophet Jesus will then pass away, and be buried beside Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). There will be many leaders after Prophet Jesus (A.S.) and the earth will start to decay and again infidelity will set in.
The final signs of the Day of Judgment:
The ground will start to cave in, in three places, then there will be 40 days where the skies will be covered in smoke and fog, where the non-believers become unconscious and the Muslims will become sick. Then the skies will clear up, but a night, three nights long will follow the fog and cause a lot of restlessness of people. After the night of three nights, the sun will miraculously rise from the west. After this incident, the repentance of people will never be accepted. A day later, the beast of the earth will appear, breaking the ground in half. This beast will talk to people and mark faces of the believers in glitter and the non-believers faces become dark. Thereafter, will be a breeze coming from the south that will make sores in the armpits of the believers and casue them to die. After this, the destruction of Kabah and Hajj will stop, and the Quran will be lifted from the people’s hearts. The final sign of the Day of Judgment is a fire in Yemen that will follow people to Syria, where it will stop. A couple years later, a trumpet will be blown marking the beginning of The Day of Judgment. These are all the Major signs of The Day of Judgment.
