Things in Ramadan that make you go mmmm….
During the day we are all quite relaxed, soaking up the ambient atmosphere, the mercy, the love and the solidarity between 1.3 billion people across the world
but come the last 5 mins to Iftar we seem to all go absolutely bananas.
I mean what comes over us people. All the reward that we have accumulated is then thrown down the drain with the cursing and shouting
Scenario
Radio On ....
Mum: Is that the athan?
Sister: No its an advert for something
Lil bro: Why do I have to set the table?
Other lil bro: When are we going to get our hair cut?
Me: Have you guys prayed your Asr
Dad: Going away on his beads trying for a new world record for the most subhanAllah said in 30 mins
Granddad: (Decides to do marriage pep talk just before Iftar with random quotes from Quran that have absolutely no relevance to marriage.. But bless)
Other bro: Why can't we have more somosas. Bro your putting on weight.
Mum: The somosas are burning, why don't you guys go to the living room, why are you all in the kitchen
MUM: AGHHHHHHH
2 mins into Iftar
Sister: silence
Lil bro:silence
Other lil bro: silence
Dad: silence
Other bro: silence
Mum: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
All you can hear is munch, much and gulp, gulp
(That's one way to shut the Rash family up)
Now you would normally think that people who have fasted all day would now sit and reflect on the day and how fortunate we are to have such a wonderful spread, family and generally how good it is to be Muslim and alive .. Instead its open license to slag everyone off that you normally would have done so during the course of the day.
Serial gossipers armed with their free call 7-7 tariffs push those numbers on their speed dials to catch up on who's been saying what to whom. Others begin to slowly introduce the 'shaytani' elements which would be a normal occurrence in the house having not been Ramadan.
Typical sequence of events
1. Telly goes on maybe CNN .. Catch up on what's happening in Iraq no probs
2. Then switched to CBBC ( children BBC). pop song ... okay fair enuf you try to ignore it
3. MTV- You start to raise your eye brows...... BUT
4. Before you know it its gone too B4U, strobe light have come out, smoke machine on the go and it's a fully fledged disco with yah Nan dancing around her hand bag.
*shakes his head*
SubhanAllah peeps we need to really reflect and focus on the last few day that we got left.
Warning this one is going to get everyone going
Typical scenario
You're walking down the street maybe doing a dhikr in your mind when yah come across an elderly uncle on his way to the local shops. You make eye contact with him followed by a smile and a salaam.
BUT ... Before he can even begin to speak to you he has to get rid of the contents of his mouth that he's been so carefully collecting for the last ½ hr.
So he begins to unleash a blend of flem and saliva the size of a tennis ball. ( YUKKKKKKKK) but the worse is yet to come.
Not only does he decide to gob all over the pavement but to follow on he decides to empty the contents of his noses at the same time. So he holds one nostril down and blows hard to release the fresh mucus shooting out like a harpoon to a whale.... Only then do you get your w'laikum Asalam returned. Was it worth it ??
Peeps keep it in yah mouth or swallow it. We don't want to see it ..plzzzzzz
Moral of the lesson ... If yah see an elderly uncle never under any circumstances make eye.
As explained earlier Ramadan is about self reflection and change. But one group of people seem to have this overwhelming sense of self righteousness come Ramadan. I call these people the PIETY POLICE !!!!!!!!
These are self appointed DIY sheikhs giving verdicts on things they have heard on the radio the previous night or may have read on seasonal Ramadan pizza menu's. These part timers ready and rearing to go with their new found imaan and sporting their new kool mini Qurans (of which the print is so small you will need a super bionic eye to read it with) are not only annoying but give the wrong vibes about Islam.
By the middle of Ramadan they consider them selves qualified to give verdicts on almost anything from the state of the Ummah to fashionable ways to wear your hijab.
They are Islamic crusaders championing the Islamic cause in the post 911 era.....
But just for the festive season hehehhee.
Every family has one and every family wishes they didn't.
They are always in the front rows for taraweh and patiently pray 20 rakat with the imam. Plus you get the looks just in case you sit longer than you should during the 4 rakat break.
But what these brothers have failed to grasp is the basic essence of Islam. Where is his daily prayers ? Where is his intention for hajj? Where is his zakat? Islam is not just fasting for one month of the year.
So someone has to remind them that Islam is not flavor of the month. Its a way of life.
Most of the time these guys are so concerned with sorting out other peoples problems that they forget that shah rukh khan is teaching his kids how to look kool and 'churps' the gals because hes left B4U to babysit.
Subhanallah this is becoming into a proper Ramadan moan .. (Rozay dori lese... for all those that understand sylheti)
My moan is not directed at the bros and sisters who are geniuingly trying to make a change in their lives and trying to find that balance....In actual fact is supporting you guys by saying you can dooooooo it. InshAllah all it takes is making those important steps and always being true to yourself.
Islam is so rich that it will feed your every hunger may it be for love, knowledge or peace.
Sometimes when you listen to some bollywood weed sing a track and you may think ahh that was written for me subhanAllah.......You wait till you read the quran now that's a book that will speak to you directly!!
So Come on guys lets all get with the program Islam is not just for Ramadan it's a way of life. Lets try and fit our life into Islam rather than fit Islam into our lives....
Make that change !!!! :)
W'laikum Asalam
Ps. This Blog is dedicated to all the mums on the world that work so hard during Ramadan. (Especially cooking us food) ... SubhanAllah i can hear my mum preparing for sahoor.
May Allah grant all Mums jannah for all their love and hard work ameeen.

Run Forrest run !!!
Aslamu Alikum Peeps,
A few more days of Ramadan to go guys and I’m already calculating the damage that I’ve done to my self thru massive iftars and midnight raiding missions to the fridge :(
I need to get back into the gym and run like a dog for a few weeks.
Ramadan is supposed to be a month of mercy, contemplation and general reflection instead its one big food orgy.
All the delights of Ramadan …… The dates (the edible datesJ), the somosas and the Rasmalaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Sheesh I’ve made my self hungry.
*** Going to have meat and sag curry***

Better the devil you know...
Asalamu Alikum Guys,
Election time in the US and a dilema for Muslim voters in the states.
One one hand you have the Butcher Bush. A cowboy whos gonna 'smoke yah out' and on the other hand you have John kerry an ex soldier come hippy.
( Sheesh what a choice )
Okay the Rash pro and con test.
Bush:
1. Biggest idiot on the planet ( feel like poking him in the eye )
2. Cowboy ( i always hated westerns )
3. Looks like ventrilaqist doll
Kerry:
1. Hippy
2. Articulate
3. Ex Service man ( wouldnt want to send troops to fight unjust war ie vietnam.. maybe)
Both have pro Isralei opnions to the palestinian struggle.
Now you might think with this decisive and scientific study that Kerry is the ideal candiate for US muslims .... but I beg to differ.
No dobt Kerry is a more articulate man, Diplomatic, smart, has a decrotative service record (see above for relevance) , and generaly a more suitbale candidate for the white house and someone that you wont feel ashamed to call the leader of the free world.
Now imagine this scenario.... Aliens land on earth and they call for the most powerfull man on the planet ... and we send George W Bush. I think they wont hesitate to either inslave us into a race of 'Battery cells' (matrix stylee) or just obliterate us from existance.
But i'm still in two minds...
On the one hand you have this dynamic, fresh and outward looking cadidate and on the other you have good old predictable mudering barsteward Bush.
Hmmm (scratches head) at this point i think i would say .. 'better the devil you know...'
At least as muslim we know what hes capable of, at least we know the destruction and chaoes he has caused and is capable of doing, at least we can prepare for the onsalught ( Defensive Jihad ), at least we wont be fooled by our so called leaders and scholars into rallying around yet another non- muslim who wont have our interests at heart and at least we will know who we can relie on in the end .... Not Bush, Blair or Bin laden but ........ALLAH. ( sighhhh)
I promised my self that i'm gonna try my best to give up as much telly as i can especially during Ramadan .. but this i cant resist even though i know that the outcome for us is the same.
Kerry like most things is flavour of the month. If he gets into the white house i'm sure we will be chanting anti kerry slogans in the yrs to come........... so my message is clear ...... No man in the white house is going to do any muslims any favours.
Wa'laikum Asalam

The Critics come out ..........
Asalamu Alikum guys,
SubhanAllah the weekend is almost over...
Back to work in the morrow.. :(
Mixed bag of reviews of my blog so far .. from inspirational ( tanks Maya) to 'huh whats a blog' (shak).
But so far i think its fab. Somewhere to voice my ideas, share my pictures and discuss issues of the day that effect us as muslims living in the uk in a post 9/11 era. InshAllah creating a forum from where we can discuss and dispell some of the myths sourouding islam.
(Sheesh i'm gonna acheive all this with one blog ... Allah help me!)
Also just to clarify to some peeps this is not a despeate attempt to draw attention from the opposite sex (you know who you are) or an advert for marriage proposals (BTW please send them to my PA hehehe). This is a genuine place to vent ideas, thoughts and maybe share some creativity through my photography.
O yeah i also got accused of being a tad too femenine with my baby pics .... hmm. These are just pics i took guys of when it was baby season... (subhanAllah so many kids). InshAllah gonna upload some more so hope you guys will be critical and gimme some pointers.
Congrats to all the people that are pregnant or have just had thir babies... subhanAllah too many to mention. But enjoy it while you can before they turn into teenage dirt bags. (flash back of me ... sheesh i was a moron). O' yeah and this is not a teen blog so i wont be writting about my deep dark secrets hoping some knight in shinning armour will come and save me hehehehehe. Its just an ordinary blog. ( phewww i hear most of you guys say)
To all those i met on the weekend ... i think i might knock the ifar party on the head and opt for an eid party ...lemme know what yah guys think inshAllah. Plus we can buy preesies for each other. Sheesh i sound like a little kid. Deprived.
Anyways did the usual rounds with the fams and got the usual pep talks about marriage .. especially now that im 27 ( rub it in why not). But what suprised me is that my gradmother got in the act hehehehehe. Normally she has a neutral stance on this topic but this time she was no holes barred ... she even went as far as to quote a bengali saying or as i like to call it 'Ghoru Basor' example. I didnt understand a word she said so politely nodded and laughed with her... hehehehe bless.
Cheers to the guys for giving me a massive wad of cash for my 'friendship day' towards a top of the range digital camera. You guys are kool. Reminds me to upload pics of you guys.... put yah objections in an email subejct: Do not bother reading
I think i left the window open last night .... now i feel terrible ... niagra falls in my nose and sore throat... woke up talking like darth vadar from star wars.
okay guys im absolulty starving and need to raid the kitchen so bee good and make dua for me especially since its ramadan.
cyah

Wake up ....
Asalamu Alikum,
Some may or may not have heard about the new book by Craig win.
Unfortunatly in this book he goes on to denigrate islam and the Prophet SAW.
Under no circumstances is this acceptable. Either he is extremly stupid or this is yet another tactical move to errode our imaan, strength and love for the deen.
Now normally I take no notice of trailer trash but this filthy dog has seem to have wondred off a little too far.
The beloved prophet of Allah has been slandred .... make your click count.
So please sign the petition to show your anger and disgust.
Lets stop moaning and do something.
Sign the petition
Jazak Allahu Kair
W'laikum Asalam

Mission Jummah...
Asalamu Alikum Peeps,
Hope everyone had a good Jummah.
Because i was close to home i had to go to my local masjid.
Now most people would say 'whats the big deal ?'.
well the big deal is that i know preety much everyone there. hmm again i hear people saying
'whats the prob dude'...
okay lemme try and explain ...
The Prophet (SAW) said ' .. the one who speaks during the khutbah has runied his Jummah'
(para phrase) Now when i go to my local mosque everyone wants to talk to me .... so its extremly difficult to uphold this principle. STILL CONFUSED? okay lets rewind and go back to old skool.
Jummah is a prayer that has to be prayed in congragation (Jammah/Jammat) on a friday at the normal time for Dohr/Zohr prayer and it replaces that prayer but only for friday.
The prayer is only 2 rakats (Units) but has to be prayed in congregation and you cant decide to do it at home. Also a very imprortant element is the Khutbah.
The Khutbah literally traslates NEWS. Now this is the oppotunity for the imam to relay and explain issues that are effecting us locally, gobally as muslims and to generally give us feedback of what is happening around the world or issues that are important at the time such as Ramadan. This is a fundamental part of the prayer. Now you are not allowed to speak during this speach. Even as to to say shhh to ur neighbour. If someone says salam then the Imam takes the responsibility to reply. No hand gestures or sign language.
Now because the prophet (saw) said you will 'ruin your Jummah' we cant take it lightly and must avoid speaking at all costs.
Savii... ? Kool
Tips
1. Go wearing camafalge clothing ( i went in my hooded top today)
2. Never make eye contact even with nod mates (note: explain nod mates)
3. Do not respond to any taps on shoulders or pats on the back
4. Do not have argument with donation collector about change from the fiver you just put in the bucket
InshAllah follow these rules and you should be alright .... but what ever happens pls do not speak during the khutbah.
Anyways peeps im off ......

The one where i was late
Asalamu Alikum guys,
I did promise my self that I would go to sleep early and Alhumdulliah I did manage to get a few hours shut eye before Fajr. But by the time I got up for ‘fota’, prayed my Fajr and got into bed it was about 7am.
I was rudely awakened by my boss at 10am I say rudely but I was supposed to be meeting some new starters at 10 and I was already 5 Mins late and still bed. (BTW my boss is super kool moer like a friend than a boss)
So I ignored his call and jumped into my phone booth and got ready superman style (minus the tights and cape)
Another day in the gruelling world of work. Another day on the hard paddy fields, attending to the cows and baking under the midday sun.... well not exactly I’m in a warm office writing this blog as casual as casual can get.
Started the day with training some new rookies on the job. It’s nice when you can mentor new people. Makes me think I should go back to studies and become a teacher. On second thoughts I always wanted to be a journalist but I couldn’t explain it to my dad come careers option time so decided to do law instead.
Anyways 4 days to go until I kiss good bye to 26 and into 27. I can ‘t think of anything good about being 27 apart from being Muslim, alive, family, Friends ... okay there’s loads of things to be grateful for ... Lesson of the day ‘ Be grateful for what you have’
Okay this is me signing off ...

All this talk about mokeys made me think of this pic. This was taken in Gibralter (2003) or as we like to call it 'Jibrael Tarik' The Rock of Tariq. Poor Koysor he was only trying to be friendly

monkeying about .....
All i did today was play with this blog.
Plus i manged to get the fams involved too. The younger 2 def don't need any encouragemt from me anything that involves mokeying around their up for it. Even managed to rope me sister in. Had a right lauf.
Anyways on a serious note i did say i was gonna try and get some sleep early ... but feel as awake as a guy whose been hit over the head with a wet haddock. ( basiclly i feel alert )
But tmro i've got to be at work for 10am .. :(

That Monday Morn feeling
Asalamau Aikum
SubhanAllah before you know it another week started.
Another excruciating long 5 days until we hit the magic Friday feeling again.
How we all manage to get out of bed and hit our offices 9am in the morning is still a mystery to me.
I think it should be listed as one of those great achievements of mankind along side mastering the art of the ‘lungi’ tying.
But it’s that odd feeling that we all get Sunday afternoon about 3pm that almost brings about a wave of mass mourning.
My colleagues must think this guy never gets any sleep because he always looks like a zombie.....but I do. I’m usually that guy on the tube that sleeps right through his journey, snores and usually wakes right up on time to get off casually at his stop.
Anyways what have I planned for today..????
The usual planning meetings, meetings and more meetings. I’m trying to cram 6 weeks of meetings in 2.
Alhumdulliah still in Ramadan and its day 11 1/3 of the way there.
Unfortunately I don’t think my colleagues understand the essence of Ramadan I think some of them might even think that it’s an exotic curry. Can’t blame them really.
Thinking of planning an Iftar ‘party’ (before all you clubbers get in the grove there’s no music or disco)
Unfortunately this is a tricky one especially With bros from different ‘crews’. It can potentially turn into world war 3 :( .
I know we always talk about one nation one ‘Ummah’ but the reality is that in the UK we have wide spectrum of Muslims. From bradah Hook to the liberal we love you everyone tree huggers.
Well let’s see what happens InshAllah (Watch this space) but wanted to take this oppotunity to try out my culinary skills ‘what culinary skills' I hear u all scream. You will have to wait and see.
I just checked my b-day on Friday. Ahh who cares … because I don’t (actually I do … wish I had that crying smiley from msn)
Okay have to dash now and go and pray Dohr....
Smell yah later peeps

Friendship Day..
Asalamu Alikum peeps,
[2:41 am !!! I know and on a work night SubhanAllah gonna be like a zombie at work tmro ..opps not tmro in a few hrs. Sheesh I really need to get my sleeping pattern sorted out]
Anyways just thinking about later on this month :(
Its gonna be my b-day or fondly known as 'friendship day' amongst the guys. (After I refused to take part)
But I'm gonna be 27 :(
I reaslise that I cant do anything about it but moan .... So hear goes moaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. ( that felt better )
so gimme some advice all you 27 year olds ...
whats it feel like to be over the hill ?
How does it feel when kids make fun of you ?
and where do I get one of those trolleys? U know the ones with the tartan print that so many elders have. (Quite handy u know)
You never know it might come into fashion all it would take is that idiot David Bekham to walk down to his local post office with one. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time talking about him ... So I wont. Anyways going back to me becoming 27.
I guess deep down inside they prepare you for it ... Cause as soon as you hit 25 you have to tick the 25-30 box. So I think that lessen the blow because what their trying to tell you is you could be anything between 25-30 and no one would care :(
Help guys I think I'm having a post teen crisis. Aghhhhhhh. ( if there is such a thing )
SubahnAllah I remember talking the 'Michael' out of my uncle. How the tides turn.
But Alhumdulliah hes married and now is a proud father. She is so gorgeous her names Zahrah but I call her Zala.
I might put her pics up but will have to ask her pops for permission.
***sidetracking***
Alhumdulliah I feel better already.
I would love a warm milk with some cookies. But don't have the energy to go to the kitchen.
Or better still some strawberry cheese cake Hagen daz yummmmmmm.
There I go couldn't go 15 mins without mentioning food.
Okay guys I'm off.... gonna try and get some sleep before fajr InshAllah. And if I call you guys from A and E tmro you know I've fallen asleep and walked into a lamp post.
adios ...
walikaum Aslalam

Blogger who ?
Asalamu Alikum to all those that already know me and to those that might not.
But hey i finaly done it. Got my blog so inshAllah ur gonna be hearing much more of me. I know most of you guys proberbally thinking 'sheesh not him' and cries of 'nooooooo muje bachawwww' bollywoos style but i dont care.
I guess this is gonna be fab especially when i go on my Far east Mission ...(opps did i just call it a mission) *looks over his shoulder for the feds*
InshAllah in a few weeks ill be swimming in the turquoise ocean and listening to the sea brush agaisnt the sand ahhhhhhhhhhh i'm already there. i'll be sippin my dab water and thinking of you guys.
Some have called me sad for going alone but to be honest i dont care cause i'm going to the Far east :) Yipeeeee.
In the last few years i realised that if you wanna do something for yourself then 'just doooooo it' inshAllah. Stop talking about it and make the dream a reality.
Our ( 'The Guys') recent trip to switzerland was ace .. just what the doc ordered even though some peeps did call it 'wales' (no names mentioned)... funny enough i dont remember seeing any sheep.
But i loved it. Those mountains were just breathtaking. But i have to say it was the most expensive country i have ever been to. I mean who in thier right mind would pay the equivalent of £2 for a loaf of bread.... yes you heard me £2. If yah ask me i'd get in a car and nip to my local tescos for the buy one get one free offers.
o yeah a quick appolgy to the guys that went sorry bros i didnt know it was gonna be that expensive. Next time i'll make sure that we dont go on a bread and water diet.
But def one to do with the Mrs.
But my fav was Chamonix,France. I loved that place ..... such a beautiful valley. something straight out of a post card. Its such a shame that sham and my self own decent cameras and we didnt take either ...(camera episode- we forgot to take the digital camera. left it in the car)
and the water .......ahhhh tastes soooooo nice ( by the way i do consoder my self a coniseuer of water). Another place to take the Mrs.
i think all in all this would have been a real 'Romance in the stone' trip except we had 5 guys and def no romance. unless u count the occassion when Boss rolled over a bit to close to sham hehehehehehe enuf said their.
Anyways this is really addcitive i could never have imagined talking to yourself would be so enjoyable. (weirdo alert)
o' yeah before i go ... congrats to Shams and Sarah who are getting married March 6th 2005 wish you all the best guys. (Sarahs dads chick tikka is to die for yummmmm)
Anyways peeps already nearly 1:30am so i have to sign off siyonara.
