TTFM # 1


Greetings,

Today I decided to talk about one thing that frustrates me.
Seeing litter on the ground.

I don't get it, do people think it's cool to trash their country.. Is that it?

I see people throwing their litter all over the place except in the garbage!
I mean, they could be inches away from the rubbish bin but they prefer to throw their litter on the ground. What's up with that?!@

Islam encourages us to be clean and keep the places we go to spotless.
So why not take a couple of seconds to dispose of your rubbish correctly?
You won't lose anything, on the contrary, doing that is considered as a good deed if you're doing it for Allah SWT.

What disappoints me the most is when I see a teacher who's supposed to set a good example to the students, roles down the bus's window and simply throws a Pepsi can or wrapper on the street! And you can imagine a second ago she/he in class was telling the students not to do so!

wait, this is very normal, when a person advises you on something, they don't necessarily do it themselves :) ... What great examples our teachers set.

Ummah Films


I was checking some videos on Youtube and I came across a video called "Distractions During Prayer by Baba Ali" and liked it, so then watched all his other videos which were very true and funny.

Baba Ali started off taping videos in a place with some of his friends, uploaded them in Youtube and now he's known all over the world and his videos are viewed by MILLIONS of people!

The thing about Ummahfilms is that Baba Ali makes videos of what he experienced and thinks about. And he has a good sense of humor which attracts people and makes them want to watch all his videos.

There are two seasons for the Reminder videos and Inshallah Baba Ali will make a third.
Too bad it's going to be the last season.
He wants to start on another project after this last season.
Inshallah it'll be as good as the Reminder or even better.

In his third season he's hoping to talk about these topics and more:
-Complaining Muslims
-Boyfriend/Girlfriend issue
-Unity
-Ritual Islam
-Communication between Men and Women (what are they really saying)
-Women in Islam

Skateboards.

Picture

My brother came up with an idea to design skateboard decks, and I decided to join.
So with our artistic skills we will draw designs on a skateboard you're going to give us.

If anyone wants a certain design on their skateboard deck they could send us their skateboard with the design and we would do it.

Until now we got five requests on designing their skateboards.
It's working out great.

If anyone is willing to send their skateboard to us contact me on:
Skateboard_decks@hotmail.com

Oh, and we expect to get paid after the job!
And If you don't own a skateboard we could buy you one and design in.
^ *Will cost more.*

Later
Fay.
