678, Sexual harassment


(This was the poster used for the film )
I'm just going to start of with- SALAAAAAAAAAAAM (fouseyTube style :p) Also, I just wanted to jump in and say this is going to be a relatively useless post if you have got no care in the world about girls getting harassed and raped. So ignore this if so.

Getting to the point I watched 678 which is actually a really great film based upon sexual harassment in Egypt particularly but it literally has a bigger meaning than just that so you can watch it here (click on the word here, lol) Basically, I get annoyed when people say a girl who wears tight clothes brings rape and harassment upon herself- no , this is NOT the case. Yes, she pretty much just sold her body out there but no one deserves this type of treatment.

ON A TOTALLY ADD SEPARATE NOTE:
I'm just  really really overwhelmed with school and stuff so if you can make du3aa i get good grades, I'd love you all even more than I already do.


Salaamoaleikhum take care of yourselves and spread your beautiful souls and smiles for the world to see :)

Inter-religious relationships my Moon to your Cross

Salaamu3alaykum,


I hope you guys had an amazing Eid! I know, I kinda did...lol..not really. I mostly did stuff my brothers wanted to do...so annoying! A while back someone asked me about a Muslim girl falling in love with a non-muslim guy. Personally, I never really thought about it personally. But, I guess it's really common. A lot of people do it, as a matter of fact some of my friends' fathers aren't Muslim. I know it's Haraam (forbidden) But would any of you think of it? I saw this video on youtube made by a Christian-Palestinian short film-maker. He's brilliant, honestly. Personally, I liked the short film...sheds light on a new perspective. So, I don't know, comment and tell me what you think.
Again 100000000000000 hugs XX,
Kouthar.

Whatever used to be beautiful

Salamu3alaykum,

Today is the 3rd day of the sacred month of Dhul Hijjah! I wanted to make a post for the first day- but that's out of line now- isn't it? So thirds a charm ;-)
I have to make up fasting days :'( but it feels so easy fasting in the cold- yes, you heard me right, Egypt is cold. In this month we observe yawm el-arafah which is on I believe Saturday 8th Nov. (Save the date!!) and fast, because it's a free card to getting all those overbearing sins out of your way! I myself NEED to fast it, mostly because I've done some stuff I'm not proud of. So insha2Allah may allah forgive all of our bad deeds and give us the chance to make 7ajj (Hajj) at least once in our lifetime, ameen ya rab.

Also, in case I don't post Eid Moubarak! Insha2Allah your holidays are filled with family, friends, and joy! Every Eid I have the same problem- I get bored and want to go home (because my father drags me to some weird place with my brothers) but this Eid I have bio (I've never been so happy about science in my life!) The more I work the more this world begins to freak me out--seriously. I just can't wait for a sort-of break :P it'd really get me off of my rocker. Plus, I don't have Eid clothes- not a surprise judging by the fact regardless I get my stuff last minute and I sort of pull it off- lucky me! Although, for the most part it can be tedious looking for stuff that match :'( All in all this Eid I'm spending it (most likely) with cousins, and then probably with my laptop (party hard) and then Ill sleep, it's the paradigm of Kouthar Sciences (a new study on the life of a weird muslim girl)

Lastly, a brief congratulations to our brothers and sisters in Libya! May Allah grant them peace in their country, and let it prosper :)

Who knows where the road ends, who knew where it started?


Salaams!

This happens to be my second post, the last one wasn't even a personal one. This one is though, my random ramblings. I have this weds. grades coming up *PRESSURE* and here I am on blogger, lol. My wishlist has gotten so long (I need to get an iPhone isA I will!!). And I've been immersed in myself- not in a egotistical way, but more of a self-journey. I'm not sure what i'd be if I wasn't happy, if I didn't have my amazing family & friends who stick by me- I'd be really bored and upset and depressed. Alhamdulilah also a random thing: Thank you Allah for adding to my set of amazing friends : Rahma & Menna  these girls are amazing (click on both their names and follow- you will NOT regret it at all). I seriously don't know what I'm doing for my future...I wonder. I've always wanted to be a pro-bono doctor in (impoverished countries), oh Allah please guide me and make everything easy for me and all Muslims. Also, I miss my Mama so much, you have got no idea and my grandmother--who is the funniest Habouba (grandmother) in the world, seriously she can keep you laughing for hours about her youth days back in home. And how she was convinced a guy could never take her down- she used to fight grown men, lol. I'm just sitting here wasting my time now, GAH. Okay off to Arabic Grammar- which hates me, why isn't everything taught in 3amiyya (slang)?! I leave you all with a song I've been playing on repeat (btw it's in Nubian and some arabic):


 
Take care & stay BEAUTIFL,
Kouthar

This world is just a phase , a cage, and temporary







Salamualaykum wara7mutallahi wabarakatuhu,

I hope you are all in the best of health. Me, I'm just having a bit of twitter obession lately--as well as tumblr, mashed in with a side of 'Doctor who' aspirations (I'm going to watch it ALL) Insha2Allah. Another thing is, I really, really want you all to subscribe to an amazing magazine insha2Allah (depending on your age it's directed towards a more tween-teen audience) it's Muslimah Girl magazine, and insha2Allah you won't regret subscribing to it!

Really, I made this post, to remind us about how this world is just a phase and it's the Akhirah we seek. Simple as it sounds it takes FOREVER, to realize this, and I myself admit to doing all these wrongs in this life I'm not too proud of. But I love that Allah is El-Rahman and El-Raheem and he forgives and gives, he takes to replace, and reminds us of his power everyday.  I want everyone to be reminded- myself included of Allah's amazing power and blessing upon us.

This is a amazing clip by Sheikh Hassan Al-Soomalee  (Please listen to it just don't skip it)

Al-Fudhayl ibn Iyyâdh said,
"A believer in this life is worried and sad. His worry is the objective of preparing himself. So whoever's condition in this life is such, then he has no concern other than taking provisions from what will benefit him during the return to his homeland. So he does not compete with the people of the land, among whom he is merely a stranger, in what they consider honorable. And he does not become worried if he seems insignificant among them."


Alî ibn Abi Tâlib used to say,

"Certainly this life has begun travelling away, and the hereafter has begun travelling forward, and each has its children. So be from the children of the hereafter, and don't be from the children of this life. For indeed today there is action with no account, and tomorrow there will be account with no action."


All of these photos are from tumblr which by the way you lot should get

insha'2Allah these are my views, these are things that I believe. Allah swt says not to force religion on anyone and I will not push any views of mine on you. All of these are sound and the source is very trusted (abdurrahman. org)

Salamu3alaykum, I love you ALL.
