Am I suppose to take this serious?

Yesterday on my way home from a lovely din din with my uni friends I came across the following billboard at the station.

For my non-dutchi readers I’ll explain what’s said on the billboard. It says that the Big Day will be on the 21th of May this year !!! Yes people I’m talking about The Day…The Judgment Day… The Day when everything and anything will come to an end.

As a Muslim I believe in the Judgment day so I deffo believe it will happen but will it be on 21 May 2011? According to the Islamic point of view it’s only God who knows when it will happen.

“They ask you (Muhammad), “when will the Dag of Judgment be?” Tell them, “My lord knows best. It is He who has appointed its time…” (Q. 7:187)

So to be honest I don’t know when it will happen, just like I don’t know when I’ll die. So it makes me wonder how the billboard maker came to idea that it will be on 21 May 2011. Has it been written in the bible? As far as my knowledge goes even the Christians and Jews believe like the Muslims in the Judgment day but that the exact day was a mystery…. Well God knows!!!

Maxi dresses in or out!!!

I so heart maxi dresses… They are such a perfect outfit for a hijabi. I find them very fashion forward and forget not very comfy in hot weathers. For I while I thought they would be out but I´m getting the feeling that they´ll keep coming back every summer and won´t be out of fashion like the jeans. And if they do get out of fashion then I’ll be a sucker in fashion because I´ll keep wearing them. I don’t know about you girls but in my country the sun has finally come out and the maxi dresses have made their appearance from my closet… Although recycling and re-using is very good, a girl should always make space for more. So here are some of the dresses I purchased and some that I’m drooling over…

This really cracked me up !!!!

Catholic Nun Forcibly Removed From Plane for Wearing "Muslim Garb"

April 5, 2011 DAYTON, OH - Sister Cora-Ann, a Catholic nun from the Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Dayton, Ohio got the surprise of her life yesterday, when she was asked to leave the plane she had just boarded at the Omaha International Airport. "I had just sat down in my seat, and started to thank God for our blessings and recite a prayer in Latin", she recalled, when one of the passengers sitting next to me called the flight attendant. The passenger was Elizabeth Bennet, who later stated: "It is not that we were prejudiced, but she did seem very suspicious. She was dressed in Muslim garb and just before we were about to take off, she started mumbling something in an Arabian or Talibani-sounding language. What was I supposed to do?" Damien Thorn was a passenger seated in the adjacent row and said: "I knew there was something sinister about her, the moment she stepped into the plane. She was wearing those burqa clothes that you see the Iranian women wearing, and she only had a very small carry-on bag." The flight attendant responded to the call and asked Sister Cora-Ann for her name, boarding pass and a photo ID.

Blanche Dubois was another passenger sitting close to Sister Cora-Ann and explained: "Once I heard that her name sounded like Koran, I got worried. That does not mean that there is anything wrong with me, does it? I just did not want to die. I was so scared, that I just yelled out her name to all passengers." Mr. Okonkwo was a passenger seated a few rows behind and stated: "Once we all heard that the passenger's name was Koran, things started falling apart." Frodo Baggins, a frequent traveler, said he had heard that Muslims do not eat beef. "I did not think that she was Muslim, and to help her out, I took out some of my beef jerky and asked the lady to eat it to prove that she was not a Muslim."

However, Sister Cora-Ann politely refused the beef jerky and reminded the other passengers that it was the time of Lent, during which Catholics often abstain from eating meat. The unrest in the plane kept growing, because most passengers were now convinced that Sister Cora-Ann was indeed Muslim and they demanded that Sister Cora-Ann leave the plane. "I did not want to cause my fellow humans any distress, so I left the plane", she said.

"We were so happy that we could continue our journey", said Frodo Baggins. "Once she de-boarded, it felt like a huge burden was lifted from us." Apparently, there was indeed a Muslim on the plane, by the name of Abdullah Abdullah the 23rd, sitting in the last row. "Of course I knew that she was a Catholic nun and not a Muslim, because I went to a Catholic school and my favorite teachers were Catholic nuns." Abdullah Abdullah went on to say "But let us face it: If you are a Muslim on a plane and someone else is being asked to leave the plane, the best thing is to be quiet and enjoy the show!"
