Although a light side topic, I had to add the following:

Quote:
REMOTE CONTROL 
Losing the remote control - Help line and support groups [/quote]

Considering TV is Haraam (no debate required) - losing the remote is always a good thing - Next step should however be, "How to lose the TV in 3 easy steps: 1) Lift - 2) Walk  - 3) Throw)

Quote:

Open forum [/quote]

This really is a common thing when the house has been cleaned. I shouldn't say any more but I'm sure many understand.

According to scientists, the tolerance of a human for listening and silence is 40 minutes.

Allah has prohibited three things: gossip, much questioning, and wasting money. (Bukhari, Muslim)

I agree (all the time)

 

 

As a final note, gender bashing is a western creation and a thing from the days of Jaahiliyyah (ignorance/pre-Islam). Just thought I'd add this here in case the above is taken seriously.

Nice one Mowlana Yasin. Whilst I was reading the first post, I was already thinking of my replies. Well, you've already done it.

I think 40 minutes is enough, next time round the best thing to do is get the misses to parkup whilst quickly grabing all the shopping and returning to the car before its parked, this will save one on getting a parking ticket and Pay & Display Charges. (Just kidding)

Bros V sis? Never!! Lol.

Yes naturally it is the western way. Islamically, non of the above SHOULD apply to us. Ahem.
Alhamdolillah, non of the above save 1 apply to my spouse. The exception being the clothes on the floor rather than in the laundry bin. But I carry on picking up after my husband for reward sake.

Ofcourse, the nature of this post was for the 'light side'.
Considering the above doesn't even apply to my husband, I found it rather amusing.

Non the less, good points mentioned.

Asslamo Allaikum,

I make a shopping list and then the location of the items are in my head, price comparisons are in my head (googled before) so I am in and out of shopping in like 5 minutes.


If I see something cheap, I look at the price and if I can google it I defer the shopping otherwise I use my phone to compare the deal.

My mother takes ages, all my Sisters etc take ages. My mother and other women REFUSE to take me shopping and if I go they tell me to sit in the car or go somewhere and pick them backup. Very rarely do I get taken they simply REFUSE to take me UNTIL they need me for bargain hunting or negotiating in Foreign lands etc. : - )

My wife makes a list and buys what she wants and from where she wants so no issues otherwise she asks me and I get it.

Women are just so annoying they have no system of making decisions and take forever!!!

The other places which I HATE are:

Weddings

Waleema

Iftaar Parties

Aqeeqahs etc.

Because in 5 minutes I am like "What do I do?" I am wasting my time here I could have done X Y Z

I went to a Masjid once (for Asar) and there was an old really Senior Alim from India and the whole Masjid was insisting on taking Hazrat to their house.

I walked through the Masjid and he said, “I will go with this boy...”

I said, “I can’t because I am busy”.

Hazrat said, “I will just drink a cup of tea...”

I said, “I don’t drink tea...”

I refused to take him and he kept insisting...

My brother in law and everybody else who was sitting there begging Hazrat (RA) looked at me like they were going to EAT ME ALIVE!

To this day the entire family remembers that and says, “He is the SHAMELESS person who refused an old Shaykh who kept  insisting on coming with him because that wasn’t part of his plan”

I was 17/18 at the time and it is sort of embarrasing but I told Hazrat (RA) point blank that I have an appointment and you don't fit in!

What is an Iftaar party? (off topic I know but it was mentioned above). I know they have events as Iftaar but a party? I can imagine how you'd hate to go to that.

Iftaar parties are common among pakistani brethren (no offence meant ok)...all the families i know have them in ramadhaan. Everyone invited to each other's homes for iftaar

As in Da'wah? But that's not a party, party is such an un-Islamic word for such a virtuous Islamic occasion that is Iftaar.

Not da'wah Mawlana Yasin...as in a party. All the people i know who have iftaar parties do not observe hijab and gathering are mixed with 20 or more people...loads of food (i often get sent some of it!) and thats all i know..

Maybe sometimes being slow helps, remember the tortoise did win the race.
