| sis sofffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa!! he he this one's pretty rough, sis...... maybe your chances just got a lot better than mine to maintain a clean record of successful missions.... no, really, i think this is REALLY hard.....would you CHANGE anything? is it wrong to change anything? and that's not even giving consideration to the total disruption of the timeline that would ensue, just the question of changing your lot in life --would that EVER be a right thing to ask for, or to implement given that as a real option...? these are really tough considerations....at least for me.. same as saying something to someone that you know of but they don't.....is that sort of like the ethics of hypnosis? can it be right to attempt to alter an outcome? and of course the other part is would you ever alter an outcome for personal benefit, vs. altering an outcome for the good of humanity? and would either EVER be right??? wow, this mouse has a LOT to think about here...... he hee think i need a litle mouse snack to um keep my brain function up....so i don't get fried over this.... |

| As-salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullah Aak, this is tough…mwishka, I can see ur concern! A. If you could step into a time machine and go back and relive any day in your life [24 hours], which day would it be and why? (Would you relive the day in the same way or would you change it in some way?) I’d want to relive the 24-hour span in which I committed the most sins that were not forgiven, to avoid those sins. Why? Actually, it would take more than a 24-hour span to make any kind of dent, but I could use all of the bad-deeds-erased-from-my-record that I can get! Istighfaar, etc will have to do for now since this dare is just a dare. B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? Anyone living right now? See C. From the board, I’d have to say all of the sisters here that I have not yet met, here or abroad. Why? It’s nice to have a face for a name, and to get to know a person’s “quirks” or connotative style to get a better understanding of what they write (the “hidden meanings” that you can’t always get from just reading a stranger’s text). C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? -- ie you enter a second timeline [parallel universe] then you ask that person ....... and return back to your own timeline without the person knowing any better. I’d have to go with whoever’s running this country, whether it be Bush, Sharon, whoever. Why? Apparently, they/he/she/it is the most influential entity on this earth. Say what? Well, seeing as they wouldn’t remember (is that what’s meant by “without the person knowing any better”?), it doesn’t really matter. But if they did remember, I’d want to let them know that there’s a growing number of Americans (not just Muslims, either) who are on to them. This whole “police state” idea is no good and heading for the fascist state they’ve been setting up for some time now. We’re taking the power back to the people! Ok, that would get a little out of hand, but hey, this country is going downhill fast, and by it’s own doing. Historians have already predicted its downfall, so not much I can say or do about that, except warn. Reminds me of what Ralph Nader or someone said at ICNA recently. He described a brief trip to Sabrah/Shatilla. There was graffiti written by one of the survivors on the walls that roughly translated to: He who plunders, lives in terror. So maybe I’d just leave it to that quote. Stop plundering, for God’s sake, and maybe you and your people (most of whom are just as innocent as those who are plundered) wouldn’t live with the terror you’ve created. Another thing I’d have to do is take advantage of the da’wah opp, regardless of whether or not these types could stand for it. Even Musa, alayhis salama, tried to do da’wah to Pharown (not that I could do da’wah like Musa!). |

Walaikum asalam Wa rhamtuAllah, This gotta be the hardest mission :) A. If i could relive any day of life ( soo many days to choose from :)) well i think it would be 98' Isna convention. I was in highschool at that time and eveything in my life was floating around everywhere.. As we were driving back home there was this eeriee silence in our car. Everyone knew what the other person was thinking about. So here I am sitting in the car , staring hard at the clouds , I felt soo close to Allah(swt). It started raining really really really hard , it was as if some of my sins were being washed away.... B. If i could meet someone today, at this moment would be my tajweed teacher's , teacher :). subhan'Allah the way she speaks about her is amazing, the fact that her teacher was an american convert who studied in syria and practiced the pronunciation of the letter dhaad like hundreds of times until she articulated it perfectly is so inspirational ( i have major difficulties saying dhaad). I would love to sit with her and teach me how to articulate the letter dhaad :) and just observe what she does everyday. hmm from this board i would wanna meet ALL the sisters, i can't narrow it down to just one :) C. well i can hear my boss screaming right now in her room. I would definitely tell her to speak slowly and keep her door closed from time to time!!! :-X JazakumAllahu khair |

| [wlm] Very tough. I had trouble thinking of only one person I would want to meet in the world now and one 24 hour period to relive, but here goes: [i]A. If you could step into a time machine and go back and relive any day in your life [24 hours], which day would it be and why? (Would you relive the day in the same way or would you change it in some way?)[/i] This is tough, because I have two places, but if I had to choose, I would pick the day I first saw the Haram. I was - it just still gives me chills. That day and those that have followed have brought me closer to my Lord. I wouldn't change a thing about that day and am still more grateful than I can describe. [i]B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? [/i] Queen Noor of Jordan. Just because I don't know a lot about her, but I do know she seemed to change her orientation as an American and lived publically in tune with the Jordanian people, learned Arabic and instituted many women's/children's/ family projects. [i]If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? [/i]On the board, Srs. Eleanor, Barr and so many others, so eloquent, so thoughtful. And last but not least, the "little mouse." ;) [i]C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? [/i] I would speak to the President of this country and his cabinet, and suggest that they take time out and travel abroad, without the SS (Secret Service ;) ) maybe with a pair of sunglasses and a hat and very little money. I would tell them to listen to what the rest of the world thinks, go to places and live like most of the people in the rest of the world live and compare it to how we live (most times at their expense.) (Too bad I couldn't "whisk" them all away for about 3 weeks, not letting them know if they are going to get out of the situations I would put them in...) Travel does indeed inform and expand! But not travel on Air Force One! My humble attempt. Whew! :-) Muneerah [] |

If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why?[/quote] If I could meet anyone in the world, hmmmm. That’s hard! I would’ve said Sheikh AlBaani, but he passed away last year. I’d love to meet all the sisters on the board.. But if I HAD to choose only one..I guess it would be sister Kathy. She is such a good listener and always makes me feel so welcome on the board. [quote]If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom?[/quote] Oh God, I’d love to go off on Ariel Shaitan… I’m not sure what I’d say, but it sure would be a lot! |

[/quote] there are two days i've thought of, but cause this is a time machine to relive only one day...erm...yea it would be the day before leaving for hajj, i would change it by learning lots about it and the supplications etc etc so that i'd be all prepared and know what i'm doing, cause i was 13 at the time i didn't know much.

| [wlm] A.This question has been going thru my mind all week. Unfortunately there are too many to choose from. Subhana Allah, even the most tempting torturous days in which I failed were a benefit and a mercy from Allah swt. As even after- when I was punished I learned humility, humbleness, and over bearing sorrow for displeasing my Creator. I would absolutely want to relive any day I may have created shirk..and relive it. B. I want to meet a Muslim that will give me advice that will increase my deen a million fold. My nickname is "Momma Mod"...it would be wrong for any mother to play favorites! I want them all at my dinner table! C. There are a few things I would love to say to my Husband... |

| (oh why did i have to go after such a concise and to the point answer.......:( ) relive any day. eeeeeeekkkkkkk!!! man oh man if you'd been through my life you'd NEVER want to go through almost ANY of it again..... and i really have decided it would be wrong to change anything in my own life, just to benefit me now, though there are some very specific dumb things i did (not wrong ones, just, well, quite dumb) that tempt me REALLY REALLY bad to want to fix them...... but, actually, i learned from all of it, sooooooo if i changed anything, since i'm just a silly mouse, i wouldn't know what to touch and what to leave alone that would still put me ending up here at this madina, so i better just keep me little paws to meself. i can only think of one thing i'd go back to that i'm pretty sure wouldn't mess up anything else anywhere now.... one night, when i lived just outside oneonta, i was driving home from town in the middle of the night - i think i'd been to some long meeting (wow all the zillion kinds of meetings i've been to...ayyyyyyy), it was dead of winter. there was deep snow everywhere, and the road was well-packed and make that relaxing crunching sound as the tires passed over it. i lived on the side of what i called "glass mountain" - in winter you needed chains to get up from the bottom, but coming from town you came in from the top. he he then you just had to stay on the road to drive DOWN a steep very winding road through the woods with a ravine on one side. actually, i always kind of enjoyed both challenges.... so, this particular night - it was just about midnight, and sooooo clear and beautiful. it was about -20ºF, the air was so dry it seemed it would just shatter into ice crystals, or diamonds. i had my window open, as i usually do in winter when the air is so sweet and cold, especially in the deep of night, especially through hemlock forest. the road out of town is a long gentle climb, opening onto the flats at the top of my hill, at a lonely looking crossroads, with hay fiel`s on three corners and a farmhouse set back on the fourth. it was a very wide open place. in the night, with a clear sky, it always felt like driving into some vastness to come up to that flat. as i rounded the last curve before i came up the last slope of the hill leading to the flats, i saw a dull glow, so diffuse i could almost feel it. it was a little disturbing, but couldn't be the farm on fire because it wasn't orange, and i felt no heat through my open window. i was puzzled and confused, couldn't imagine what it was. as i drove up that hill, the instant the dense deep tall woods on both sides of the road ended, i gasped, my chin fell, and i coasted my car to the slowest halt ever seen, angled right across the middle of the road, in the intersection. i was dumbfounded. i stared, completely unable to believe what i saw.... i sat leaning over my steering wheel in a state of utter confusion, until i came to my senses and got out of the car. i stood there, looking at one of the most beautiful sights humans ever get to see. i was dwarfed, way less than a dot on that road. across the entire open sky was the greenness of the northern lights. the ripples and waves were huge, the million other colors coursing through it were nothing like i ever imagined - they didn't sparkle, they didn't flash, they weren't bright, i couldn't differentiate them or name them. i can't say how long i stood there, my head bent back until my neck was sore. i remember thinking i wish someone else could see this, a feeling i wanted to show everyone everywhere this phenomenal thing of such immense size and beauty. it was almost as if it couldn't be real, since i'd heard no warning on the radio of its visiblity that night, in that place. no one else i talked to the next day had seen it - i was at a very high open place..... he he um what were the other questions - wow i'm lost back there.... oh yeah... who in the woorld would i want to meet? well, i kind of go along the line of thought that no one is any more important than anyone else, so, even though i tried, i couldn't think of any well-known person who seemed significant to me. so i tried to just think of someone i'd wanted to meet, and the first person who popped into my mind is a woman whose name i don't even know (though kathy might). she was one of the strongest looking, most dignified, and beautiful women i've ever had the luck to encounter. i think she was the imam's wife's grandmother. she walked with a steadfastness, a sturdiness, her bare feet firmly planted with each step. the purposeful walk of a woman who has tended her own crops, milked her own goats - though i don't know that she did, i only know how strong she looked and how straight her back and how wide and firm her stride. she seemed so calm and graceful, with eyes so alive they made me wonder about her, about what she had seen in her many years, and what she knew, and about the sources of her strength and her dignity. she was really really lovely. if i EVER go visit kathy again, i won't hesitate this time, and i'll speak to her, even if her language is not the same as mine. who at the madina would i want to meet? well, i'd really MOST like a total madina gathering, so i could meet EVERYONE! i am getting to meet a few people, little by little.... (dawn's next - but shhhh..it's a secret!) and then i realized who i most need to meet. it's the person i am most NEGLIGENTLY tardy in replying to. not marcie, still waiting for her molecules. not aadam, waiting for the "specs" on lutein....hee heee brother abu khaled PLEASE PLEASE forgive me! i really meant to finish writing to you, and i still keep meaning to...... and i will, i do promise! you are more patient than i can imagine anyone being, and i hope you haven't given up all hope of ever hearing from me again...... ok, the no consequences. first, let me clarify that i understand this to mean no consequences to ME, not without consequence to that person, or in their mind. that's the way i'm answering this.... well, some particular dumb things i mentioned above come to mind, but those have the problem of potentially benefitting me quite personally if i fix them, and seem likely to have other negative impacts. but i realized there was a person in the past who i had read had wrestled with their conscience for a long time before making a devastating choice in the world. i decided this was something i was willing to mess with, silly mouse or not. i'd like to help that person come out on the other side of the struggle this time.....and there would definitely be tremendous impact on the world today, for which i alone would accept those consequences, and offer whatever was possible for me to offer to make up for any losses resulting from this person choosing a different path. how the world would be today is unknown, and who instead of him might take up the work he did, and with what positive and what negative result, is unknown. i'd go speak to robert oppenheimer, director of the manhattan project. he fought with himself about what they were doing, but he also convinced himself that they were creating the ultimate deterrent, that there would never be another war. i'd um kind of insert the thought into his mind that the greater weight must be given to the abuses which would result from that project. i think i might need to get to him long before he was struggling with his own thoughts during the project, and maybe intervene somewhere along the way so that they did not progress in the way they did. at the point at which he was deeply questioning it, it was much too far along to stop. and even now i wonder if i should even think of doing such a thing, or if there isn't a greater harm somewhere else in the past i should instead make it my mouse role to prevent or correct or alleviate.... considering i only have um two hours left to the deadline, i guess this will just have to do..... ;) mwishka (who wishes instead of just being garrulous she could somehow be....mellifluous :D ) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HONORABLE SECRETARY AND REGIS: it seems we've had a range of interpretations of this part of the mission: C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? -- ie you enter a second timeline [parallel universe] then you ask that person ....... and return back to your own timeline without the person knowing any better. did you, or did you not mean, there would be no consequences to the utterer? and, same, return to your timeline with the knowledge left inside their thoughts but wihout awareness on their part that you had been there to give it to them, or why their thoughts had changed? |

(Would you relive the day in the same way or would you change it in some way?)[/color] I kept on thinking and thinking about this... and I found that I couldn't and wouldn't want to re-live any day of my life. I wish I could say going to hajj or umrah and see the kaa'bah and do ibadah there, but I've never been there. There are many happy and peaceful moments, and there are many regretful and sad moments... but I don't think I would want to re-live it.. I don't know.... I have a great feeling that the moment when I would want to re-live again and again, has not happened yet. Allahua'lam. [color=Maroon]B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? [/color] There are so many whom I would wanna meet. Yesterday, I missed my Malaysian sisters (whom I met while in UK) terribly, when I saw their photos at a website... they organised a picnic... I was close to tears. I missed my Brit sisters terribly too. So, I would want to meet them in person. However, there's another great lady whom I would wanna meet... and that is [color=blue]Zainab Al-Ghazali[/color]. She is my role model, and someone whom I look up too.. the sacrifices that she made, the time and energy that she has spent in the path of da'wah and jihad. I admire her strength and patience. And I would want to learn this spirit and vigour that she has, to remain steadfast on this path. (Though I do hope she can speak English ;)) A peek on what she is like...this is the promise that she asked of her husband... [color=blue]...Let trust, be full between us. A full trust between a man and a woman, a woman, who at the age of 18, gave her whole life to Allah and da'wah. In the event of any clash between the marriage contract's interest and da'wah, our marriage will end, but da'wah would always remain rooted in me... I know that it is your right to command me and that it is my duty to obey you, but [i]God in our souls is greater than our souls, and His da'wah is dearer to us than ourselves[/i]... "The Return of the Pharoah" Zainab Al Ghazali[/color] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=Maroon]If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why?[/color] I would want to meet everyone! I'm so touched that Jannah, A_Stranger, Muneerah, Eleanor.. mentioned me.. for I would love to meet you too. Just a special mention...I would also want to meet my sisters whom I've spoken on the phone :-* coz, the relationship of the ruh yearns for their persons in physical presence. [color=Maroon]C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? -- ie you enter a second timeline [parallel universe] then you ask that person ....... and return back to your own timeline without the person knowing any better.[/color] Another.. "I don't know" answer... I would like it if my words have impacted a person.. and if it doesn't.. then, I'd rather remain silent. Allahua'lam :-) |

But I guess mistakes can be learned from right… so I wanted to think of a day that I really enjoyed that I would like to go back to. And that day definitely had to have been during the last MYNA conference I went to in Dearborn…. It was a day that I really became enlightened and subhanallah felt like my heart was opened up to my deen. And since then I’ve had a whole new outlook on things. But if I could have that feeling I had that day everyday, I definitely would not be complaining. ·B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? ~~~Umm I would definitely like to meet Ariel Sharon just to give him a piece of my mind…. And I would like to meet anyone and everyone on the board because I really haven’t gotten to know any of you, and you all mashallah seem like very interesting people! ·C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? -- ie you enter a second timeline [parallel universe] then you ask that person ....... and return back to your own timeline without the person knowing any better. ~~~[color=Green][/color]Actually I know this is pretty lame, but I would like to go to my sister and tell her how much I love her, no matter what we say to each other and how much we argue, I love her to death and I really don’t tell her enough, probably because I don’t like to come off as a softy…hehe |

(Would you relive the day in the same way or would you change it in some way?) [/quote] I would like to go back to the day of the retreat when me and a friend were sitting by the shore on the rocks. It was almost sunset and the sun was reflecting so beautifully on the waves, SubhanAllah. I was sitting on the rocks and the reflection of the sun's rays made a path on the water. The path extended all the way to my feet and was so clear and wide. The path was so clear and straight, that it reminded me of Sirat al mustaqiym, the straight path to Allahu SubhanaHu Wata'ala. The feeling that filled my heart during those moments I will cherish forever and InshaAllah will be able to live them again. [quote] B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? [/quote] I don't think I can choose from all the scholars/shuyookh/teachers that I admire so much. I'd like to meet them and ask them to teach me and acquire more knowledge, InshaAllah. Anyone from the board? Well, I met Mohja at the retreat, alhamdulillah. I'd like to meet everyone, particularly the sisters, inshaAllah. But, i've felt a deep connection with Maliha, i don't know why, but inshaAllah i'd def like to meet her. [quote] C.

[/quote] When I was in middle school, my great-grandmother passed away. My relationship with her was close, alhamdulillah, and I loved her a lot. Wednesday morning, we got a phone call around 7 am telling us that she had passed away. That morning, subhanAllah, had seen her in my dream and she was dying/had died, and after the phone call, I told my mom about it. SubhanAllah, i was a little freaked out, to be honest. The point is........I would have liked to tell her that I loved her before she passed away that morning. May Allahu SubhanaHu Wata'ala have Mercy on her soul and grant her Jannah as her final abode, ameen. [wlm] Betul |

| as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllah, [quote]A. If you could step into a time machine and go back and relive any day in your life [24 hours], which day would it be and why? (Would you relive the day in the same way or would you change it in some way?) [/quote] I think I would re-live the day I came back from the ALIM program (an islamic studies program in michigan). I spent an entire month in an environment that was meant to teach me how to be a better human being and Muslim, and the day I returned to "normal life" was the first real test I had as to whether I would live my life in accordance to the lessons I learned there, or simply house that knowledge in my head. I think that first day back was an opening for me to make a huge and serious change in my life, and that if I did right on that day I would be a very very *very* different (and better) person than I am today. [quote]B. If you could meet any one living person in the world today, who would it be and why? [/quote] Sad to say I can't think of any living person I would love to meet. I have to think about it some more. [quote]If you could meet any person on the board who would it be and why? [/quote] maliha. she rocks. :) [quote]C. If you could say anything to anyone, without any consequences, what would you say and to whom? -- ie you enter a second timeline [parallel universe] then you ask that person ....... and return back to your own timeline without the person knowing any better. [/quote] hmm.. well there are certain people to whom I'd like to say: not everything is about you. I'd like to say to them to please just *stop the drama* and understand that what people say and do is not necessarily directly related to you, or about you, or in response to something you've said/done. People live their lives outside the context of your existence, you know. And you need to critically re-assess yourself if you think otherwise. (man, thanks for letting me get that off my chest :)) take care wasalaamu alaykum :-) |
