Prayer
Do you do prayer 5 times a day? I was just wondering, as I find it very hard to remember. And all the negative energy that surrounds me doesn't help; for eg TV, PS3, Laptop.
Mother's Day
what do you think i should get my mum for mothers day.
i know its still two months till mothers day, but i've been saving up and i need to be sure of what to buy so i can save up the right amount of money.
so what sgould i get for a woman who wants nothing except for her daughter to get A* for her GCSEs? she has done so much for me she brought me up on her own, she practically looks after the whole family including my dad. i feel that i haven't done enough for her in return, but she doesnt want anything from me.
p.s please pray for me GCSEs are too stressing 🙁
Music
What kind of punishments would you get listening to music?

Hi Everyone, How are you? Hope you're well and happy,
If not then hopefully that's counting towards more happiness in the afterlife.
About 4 months into the university term now and I have to admit the socialising aspect appeals to me a lot more than the academic, and it's pretty easy to push everything to the side.
So I'm glad for the revival, where now and then I can just come back and refresh things, it's useful to revive me in terms of Islamic News etc. (Don't pardon the pun, I meant to make it)
So yeah...Times are hard, and a lot of us are incredibly privileged.
Not to seem ungrateful, but sometimes that can be a bad thing...

Mubarak Falls
Well, not yet, but it is only a matter of time.
EDIT - You read it here first! - END EDIT
The army has been called into quell the protests and he was supposed to make a speech on Egyptian TV - a speech that has been postponed.
It seems that Mubarak's primary backer has pulled out - Brian Whittaker from The Guardian describes his view of the US position, which if true more or less means they no longer think Mubarak will be in power for long:
Confused?
Salaam to everyone
I'm in a very big dilemma. My friend loves a boy to death and wants to get married to him when she gets older. She's only in year 9 like me. But her family is very strict, if they find out that she likes that person, they'll move to another place with her. What should I tell her to do? And also, is it wrong in Islam to tell your parents that you want to get married to a certain person?
Egypt Rises
Today was a day of protest in Egypt (and other places most notably Lebanon) - something sparked off by the success of the protests in Tunisia.
From the pictures and videos I have seen they seem pretty crappy, but they are still the largest disturbance against the regime in like a generation. Some things start small I guess - let's see where this goes.
Back in the day people used to use words like "may you live in interesting times" as a curse but its good to see despotic dictators and leaders in the arab world quake in their boots.
