We've heard some great tongue twisters in our youth, a great time pass with the kids too.

See if you can come up with some too.

Hazrat Google can be used to copy and paste, try not to repeat themand keep them halal and clean, suitable for children too.



I love the iPhone

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the most difficult tongue twister in the English language is this one:

"The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick."

For all you gardeners who like to preserve your harvest:

CAN YOU CAN A CAN AS A CANNER CAN CAN A CAN?

Hmmm? Can you?

I like this one... I can imagine a tiny flea and a fly in a flue! Can you?

A flea and a fly in a flue
were imprisoned,
so what could they do?
Said the flea, "Let us fly!"
Said the fly, "Let us flee!"
So, they flew
Through a flaw in the flue.

A tongue twister is a sequence of words or sounds, typically of an alliterative kind, that are difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly.

Accordingly, there is one sentence that should be a tongue twister yet it's the most easy sentence that flows even from children that cannot speak. You can say it a million times as fast as possible (when one knows the sentence) and it will not "twist"

A Question: Can non-members see spoilers? If children visit as guests, will they be able to view the spoilers?

Some may find this one (in Arabic) hard at first but once you get the flow, it just goes smooth insha'Allah:



Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee

O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.

~~~

Ameen. May He accept. Ameen.
