'Muslims for Life' nasheed album

posted under by Mehedi
Came across this link when brother hoque sent the link by msn. All audio is 100% instrument free. Drum sounds are entirely vocal. That's shocking considering the state of the Ummah (Muslim Community).

Tracks:


# Qur'an
# Naseeha
# Mercy to Mankind
# The Search
# Tell me Why
# Repentance
# Cradle to the Grave
# Revert
# Salaat
# Supplication

Buy it or listen to sample, be careful of that site though, they sell haram "nasheeds" too.

'Muslims for Life' includes 10 tracks with nasheeds in English, Arabic, Bengali, French and Urdu.

Blogspot Dilemma

posted under by Mehedi
I am confused about weather to stick to my long names blogspot account or to host it on my server (same as aligraphy blog. I have my long named URL, I wanted something small like simplymuslim but that’s taken by an arab speaking blogger who last updated his blog back in 2005!!

Blogger should make blog domains available for others after certain time. It’s annoying to find inactive members hogging a perfect domain name.

Either that or they should get a fresh new domain, like blogspot2 or bloggger.

Anyways if you have any good blog names for me, please let me know hitting the comment button, would really appreciate it.

Divorce Sharia Style

posted under , , by Mehedi
Was just flicking through TV, waiting for Top Gear and MOTD, when I realised Channel 4 talking about those terrorists again, oh I mean Muslims. Anyways the program was called Divorce: Shariah Style.

They showed at Sharia council a Muslim legal institution, which offers Muslims advices about various matters, the program concentrated on couples and mainly women.

To me it seemed like they are trying to portray Shariah as something negative, they kept mentioning the punishment for thieves (hand to be cut) and adulterer (killed). Call me an extremist but I don't see anything wrong with that, Shariah solves a lot of inhuman deseases that exists in our lives, I mean seriously what is the point of keeping pedophiles, rapists, adulterers and murderers alive? As one of the Imam said Shariah law will make governments life easier and they don't have to worry about making new jails.

As usual the documentary had slightly dark underground look to it, a lot of shooting was done without any lights in the dark... wonder what that was about? also I thought they were trying to scare the Britons into thinking Islamic laws are creeping into British legal system.

sorry if bits of this post don't make sense, i'm half a sleep!
