I only have Christian neighbors and believe me we are as close as veins on the neck...

Just served them with plates of rice and grasscutter with bottles of Valeta wine.

One love.

Aro Okigbo:
Don't be carried away by the name RAMadan. This is not one they kill RAM.
Moving a motion for a change of name.

1. The name cannot change because it's the name of an Islamic month, the 9th called RAMADAN.

2. Some arabic words when translated to English may seem funny, weird or have you. That's the diversity of language. Some English words seem ridiculous when it appears to others. Where "Nike" may be dear here, "Nike" is simply a brand name there.

3. The one where Rams,cows etc are killed is in commemoration of Eid-l-Kabir or Eud-l-Adha symbolising the lessons learnt by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

4. As I have said in 2, languages are diverse. Learn and respect the diversity. However, your move is a waste of time. If you want to change the name of May because it "may" mean many things, good luck! smiley
If you've understood the reason why the names are so, you'll UNDO your move.

1. I want to use this opportunity to wish my muslim brothers happy Ramadhan.
2. Islam is a religion practised by those who profess it. How it is practised is entirely the decision of those involved in it.
3. The killings, shedding of blood , which seem almost to characterise Islamic religion is by the choice of those who have sold their hearts to the devil in the name of religion. There are many good muslims around us today whose piousness is not doubt.
4. Let those muslims who stand for the truth about the sanctity of human lives never get weary of condemning the evils of the day, especially the shedding of blood in d name of fighting for Allah. Let us stand for the truth at all times.
5. Let us not forget the lessons leant during the fasting period.
May Allah bless you all!

Tunjman: In the name of Allah, the generally merciful and the especially merciful.

Salam Alaekum dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

The past 29/30 days have taught many of us how a prudent low income salary earner manages his meagre salary and tries to stay debt-free for the month.

In the cause of upholding one of the 5 tenets of Islam, we all have managed to deprive ourselves certain comforts to get closer to our God and still went about our businesses without one hindering the other. In other words, the 24 hours most of us complained not enough to combine business and prayer have been more than enough even to add some supplications.

However, this could not have been possible without self discipline and determination. A low income salary earner would always complain about his ridiculous remuneration if the token is not properly planned upon at least, pending the time he gets a better offer.

Ramadan on the other hand, has served has a template upon which a believing muslim should draw a schedule of engagement with his creator and still go about his normal business without the two clashing. During Ramadhan, I saw bank tellers leaving the counter for congregation prayers and yet, they were not fired and the reason is that we've portrayed ramadhan to be the only period God answers our prayers as muslim.

Ramadhan has come and about to go, five daily prayers still remain, alms giving is still an act of Ibbada, supplication through nawafil still remains, weekly fasting (tatawah) still remains, good deeds are not going with ramadhan, immodest dressing isn't only 'unramadhanic' but also unislamic, Allah frowns at violence, back bitting and taking advantage of the feeble are still sinful acts before God. Let us utilize every minute of our lives to get closer to our God after ramadhan because, only Him knows those who would witness the next one...Eid-ul-mubaraq in advance!
tanw, may Allah reward u abundantly
