Its unacceptable in my opinion for people to go around calling it QM College when it is QMW college. Quite annoying too.

ha ha, lol,  I happen to be VERY CLOSE to a QM graduate, and myself was told that these days QMW is too much of a mouthful so it is no longer in vogue.

hmm, are you showing your age kashif ??

Look brother - you're going the way of the Americans, i.e. being a lazy bum and starting to drop off letters.

;) ha ha, kashif and the sisters crew! ;) that was funny!

i have a question...some days ago, dad was reading something on the web..about the salah timings in the UK...during the summer, it listed fajr to be at 2am or something??? and isha at 10pm? and then i forgot what it was like for the other seasons...but i was curious..do you feel it's any different? the timings? or is it just normal?? ;)

and...
Eid mubaaarrrrriiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkk!!!! :)

wa salaamu alaikum wrwb

wa alaikum us-salaam PacificBreeze,

Its almost true. At the height of summer Isha starts at around 10.37pm at its latest, while Fajr starts at about 2.57am at its earliest.

Perhaps the hour adjustment for British Summer Time have something to do with it?!

Anyhow, alot of the online salah time calculators are really bad when it comes to the UK. There was one that went way off scale listing Isha at about 2am in the summer?! I stick to the printed ones now.

That's probably spot on

GMT is an hour behind so in the summer the GMT times would be 9:37pm for Isha and 1:57am for Fajr

Any brothers or sisters in Scotland will pray Isha even later and Fajr even earlier because of the latitude (or is that longtitude???)

hmm americans pronounce a 'z' (zed) as a 'zee'..thats because when they were kicked out of england along with the aussies..they found the only other people in america with them who were on a par albeit better educated were the french...which is where they picked up their appalling spelling from...*lol*

I take it the Hearts of Darkness title is taken from the book by Conrad?...(which itself has been brilliantly re-interpreted in 'Exterminate the brutes'

I think it's time to clear up the mess.
I phoned the president of the Islamic society at QM or QMW and he clearly stated that it was QM (for those in London you'll get to see this on the poster).  So Kash, sort it out geezer !!

p.s. Americans are slackers

Zara, as for the hotline I just copied it off the poster, you can try e-mailing them.
check: [url]http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~islam/islamic.html[/url]
I wouldn't advise getting it on the day as you'll be charged more money (£6).  I'll see if I can get a working number.

American Humour = The Jerry Springer Show (laa HAwla wa la quwwata illa Billa) ; or should that be spelled humor !?

p.s. Phil Cheadle - May Allah give that cunning Kafir what he deserves, AAAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEEEN

Just to clear up some misconceptions:

1) There have been some rumours that Abu Usamah is not coming.  I have contacted the Islamic Society and these are unfounded.  He has confirmed that he is coming as planned.

2) The telephone number that is printed on the poster is working and has been for the last few weeks

3) There is a current shortage of tickets so reservations are being taken.  The society is endeavouring to allocate more tickets to meet the demand

When I walked out of the train station I said to my the sisters that I know it is left from here and that's about it.....Then I saw 3-4 bro's with signs in their hands pointing left.... :D I thought that was pretty cool....the signs leading to the venue were really good. Jazahkhallah.

I give the Qm Dinner 7-8 out of 10....it ran a bit late and the bros didn't have time 4 dinner because we would have missed the last train home.
however we got the sisters to pack the food for the bro's...so in short it was a good evening and masha'allah nice turnout....
