Not sure if I’m breaking any of your rules here Br Arshad but my Round One shout outs go to:

Sr Mona For her great sense of humour and for posting the relevant ayahs on Qu’ran word of the day.

Br HiMY For always being able to make me think, chuckle, chuckle and think, think and chuckle.

Sr Barr For being in “The Zone” at the moment in respect of her posts.

Br Asim For having the ability to control his addiction to the board.


I also want to make an honourable mention to someone who is always left out namely:

PSSSHHHHTTTT!  Whatever happened to that game between you and Saleema for the championship of Houston? ???  All talk and no game. ;)

I haven't been talking about my game (not recently at least), but have been talking about my Lakers who just won their 17th game in a row and haven't lost in 7 weeks.  woohoo

But getting back to the shout outs, let's see:

Shout Outs:

Saleema- for telling us about aliens and beating up a football player.
Asim- for posting some truly wonderful posts.
Arsalan- for being knowledgable about basketball (even though people diss his game big time).
Kashif- for being a jolly good sport.
Lisha- for giving a shout out to everyone.

[slm] Ok here are some of mine, sorry bhaloo for not following your rules :)

Given my one-track mind or one-dimensional tilt on this board, as many no doubt have noticed, my first few must be:

;-) aka BrKhalid-my virtual companion and adviser on the Hajj, who, like me, isn't shy about talking about it either. We should write a book someday. One of these days inshallah perhaps we'll bump into one another during the mad dash through the gates of Masjid ul-Nabi in the early morning.:)

Jannah-for giving ;-) and I some company on the Road to Makkah forum. Sometimes it seemed like our own little board. You can also help with the book. :)

eleanor-for her enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge, for her upcoming trip inshallah to Makkah which reminds me not only how I miss it but also about the lessons I learned there.

Moving on...

se7en-for being way too smart and knowledgable for her age and teaching us old people in every post she writes. And for not participating in WWTBAM to give the rest of us a chance at least. :)
bhaloo-for his service to this Board, his illuminating posts, and his constant attacks on the land of Albanyia, which have continuously backfired and only served to embolden and unite the defenders of Albanyia under one banner and prove their mettle to the rest of the world. What was the score of Islamic Jeopardy again? :)
Ali-for having the courage to condemn He-Man as a mushrik and give us the Islamic version. :)
Saleema-for her service as moderator, for being the first to 1000 posts (I think she was the first) :)
AbuKhaled-for being the elusive, eloquent genius of the board, for standing up to the "Alliance" and remaining firm to his principles, and for motivating us all to study more usul-ul-fiqh.
assing-for motivating us all to study more ulum-ul-hadith.
Arsalan-for his all-round excellence and consistency in posting (we can always count on him for a good post and a good response to anything), for taking the whole "sister arsalan" thing in stride, and for remaining dignified and restrained amidst all these statements being said about him not being as good a basketball player as he says he is. I believe you bro, really I do. :)
Asim-for his tireless commitment to posting Qur'anic references to the words in the Taqwa Masjid
princess-for making us :) and ;) and :) and ;) and :) and :)
meraj-for making us ;-D, for showing me that geeks can be proud of who they are
Mona-for her insightful posts, for correcting us on Arabic grammar, and for making me realize my own educational pursuits are in fact relatively easy and pleasurable in comparison to her "torture" to become a PHD
Kashif-for his long-standing service, for saving me from throwing away more than a hundred bucks on a set of tafseer, and (along with ;-), Ali, muhannad, haaris, humblemuslim,chachi and the rest of the UK) for teaching us some of your peculiar vernacular.

ok I'm losing my voice with all these shout outs so I'll have to stop here...but shout out to all the rest of ya who make the Madina a better place, its brotherhood and sisterhood reminding me of Madina al-Munawarrah.

told you guys I've got a one-track mind :)

1. Jannah - for doing all this in the first place.
2. Se7en - for her amazing maturity and wisdom for her age.  Are you really 17 ?
3. Kashif - maybe I'm biased 'cos he's from the UK, and is a "wise Salafi".
4. Bhaloo - 'cos he's the most prodigous poster.
5. Eleanor/Kathy/Serene/Ahlam - for the hardships they have gone thru as new muslims, without any loss of enthusiasm.

Sis Serena
For keeping strong :)

Sis Eleanor
For her spirit of inquiry, and a cool chat mate :)

Br Wahid
For his sense of humour... though... it can land him into trouble, sometimes :) and remembering my name back in 'ol WBS days

wow folks! take it easy! that's enough shout outs for me now! give someone else a chance.
Anyway here's round two from my side of the wathers

1) Sr. Barr...not only for ICQ-ing me everytime we're online together to say Assalamu Alaikum, but also for the wonderful posts she makes mashallah, intelligent and well-formulated

2) Br.Khalid...whose posts always make phrases like "old chap" or "jolly good fun" spring to mind, on a more serious note for always answering any confusing matters in a well thought out and researched way...and also for making me LOL ;-D  at loads of his posts

3) Sr.Serena...for facing the struggle she has with dignity, patience and acceptance, and also for making me see how informed and well-versed reverts can become and giving me something to aspire towards

4) Br. Abdullah (formerly known as Akim), for being so strong and courageous to face up to his parents because he knows in his heart "la Illaha Illah Allah" and for being patient enough to sit through discussions with some Hindu scholar who trys to convince him that Islam is wrong and Hinduism is right - Astafirullah

5) Collectively to all the Albanyians who stick together through thick and thin and defend each other against cow stories to the last. (moo)

Without speaking for the others I personally have had less time to surf since I got a PC at home.  Yeah, I know that it sounds weird but there's always something else to do at home than surf ...

I've been Muslim for four years now, Alhamdullilah, and like many four year olds, I'm going through a phase of listen lots, speak little.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu


My shout out today is going to the one and only Allah Ta'ala for :


Giving me the strength to endure my hardships.
Bringing my Mother back into my life.
Allowing me today to enjoy life.
Showing me the straight path.
Blessing me with some wonderful friends.
Guiding me to this board - without them I would be less of a Muslimah.
Protecting me.
Loving me.
Showing me the light at the end of the tunnel.

For everything!!


May Allah (swt) bless each and every one of you as I have been blessed these past couple of weeks.

Put your faith in Him(awj), no one else.

With tears in my eyes, I sit here saying with full conviction that I have *never* been prouder to be a Muslimah!


Allahu Akbar! :-)

Jazak Allahu Kairun once again, Allhumdulillah,

all the people on this board are wonderful and I would love to post more often!
