| [slm] I'm feeling pretty run down at the moment and feel like I need a bit of a break. Can any of you recommend any kind of retreat, whereby I can recharge my batteries from a deen point of view as well as physically. I basically just want to chill out but in a way that will refresh me spritiually as well as physically. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like an old hippie there but you know what I mean. Jazaka Allah Khair |

| hmm good question let me think a bit more. What kind of activity are you afer ? Walk in the lakes or something like wind surfing ? Or do you just wanna punch the bag, swim and lift weights ? Bro Harris I think theres a good market for this activity in the UK, I mean there isn't a special muslim/non muslim activity that lifts one spiritually and physically, well not that I know of. Maybe you could start something, I'd help in counting your profits :). Hmm H |

| Assalamu'alaikum :-) I'd say... go North. [color=red] SCOTLAND SCOTLAND SCOTLAND [/color] They have these cabins on the hills and highlands that you can rent during the weekend or for a week. Away from the busy bustling of the city. All you see is nature, mashaAllah. You can go hiking and horseback riding... go do some reflecting by a stream, read a book under the trees... it's like home away from home, since you don't have travel *that* far, and no foreign foods to adapt to... it's self catering too. OK, gotta go, take care, akhi... I can't wait for Ramadhan... inshaAllah, that will be another boost for us to inrease in strength for our ruh :) wassalam :::Barr::: |

| slm, i agree with sr. barr... i dont know much about whats near you in the UK, but one thing i would *highly* recommend is that you look into getting away for a few days in someplace in the mountains... a few years ago my family and i went on a vacation to the canadian rockes, and subhanallah.. its one of the most beautiful, serene, peaceful places i have ever been to... the scenery is just totally amazing.. just spend some time and relax amongst nature and just soak it all in (and take plenty of pictures :) ) |

| slm If your thinking of coming up to Scotland you better get ready soon, as its getting a bitty cold here now! Scotland is lovely up North in Summer (apart from the midges!!) I've been to a town called Banchory (near Aberdeen)a couple of years ago in Autumn, and subhanallah it was lovely. The colours of autumn I saw, of the leaves turning a different colour was beautiful. It's worth coming to see but just don't come in a rainy day! ;-D Or if you can't take a couple of days off, why don't you go near the sea somewhere, I've always found watching the waves going in and out relaxing & great to chill out too, esp if u get a quiet spot. :) Shella |

| Assalamu'alaikum :-) [quote]If your thinking of coming up to Scotland you better get ready soon, as its getting a bitty cold here now! [/quote] Oh yeah... When I went for a camp, in the middle of summer at a Scout's campsite up in Edinburgh... it was so chilly there, then already! Brrrrr... I wonder how those men during the olden Scottish time keep up with the cold with only kilts on! Subhanallah... Br Haaris... how about going for umrah during Ramadhan? I heard MAB may be orgajising a group to go over. Maybe you can check that out, inshaAllah? who, knows... we may meet, inshaAllah... and I can get to know the famous Mrs C :-) wassalam :-) :::Barr::: |
