Shout Outs!!!

[slm]

After having created some popular threads in the Ikhwan folder, I thought I would try my hand at the bebsi stand.   :P  Here's your mission.  Pick out 5 people and say something nice about them.  Don't pick people that others have already picked, and don't write about someone that picked you.  This way (insha'Allah) everyone will get picked.  :)

Shout Outs

1).  Al-Basha for doing a great job in bringing the Hikhmah center, for keeping in touch and having patience with me, and being a really good brother overall,mashallah.  Not to mention you're the brother with all the high tech news and the one that introduced me to chunky monkey.  :D

2).  Bulwark of Islam  for being a good brother that I can joke around with on the boards, and for giving me the lowdown on the Karachi scene, especially all the places to eat.  ;)

3).  Madina Wrestler for being a good role model for the brothers.  You demonstrated how you were a good father, husband, a manly man, an outdoorsman, and a man well versed in the affairs of Muslims today.

4). Sophia  I look forward to reading your posts, they are filled with wisdom and are written very well and are very balanced, alhumdullilah.  

5). Mystic  Alhumdullilah I have really been impressed with the quality of your posts.  Mashallah, so much thought goes in them, and I have really been impressed with how much your knowledge has increased since you joined this board a few years ago.

1)Jannah for all your amazing work over  the years in bringing us the Madina community.  May Allah 'azza wa jall reward you handsomely for the joy you have brought, and may he enable you to continue your wonderful work.

2) Se7en for one so young - subhanallah you continually impress me with your knowledge, creativeness and articulate writing. :-*

3) Kathy - where to begin.  Allah swt has made you such an inspiration to all of us - born muslims, converts, non-muslims.  You speak with such hikma, and are truly the Mamma Mod ;D

4) Uncle Hanif for your wise and well considered posts - they are always worth reading.

5)Caraj - you're are an inspiring woman, and it is always a pleasure to  read your posts and catch up with you - may Allah make  things easy for you :-*

In no particular order....

1) strivinsista for making me laugh so hard that I literally had to get up and leave my desk on more than one occasion.

2) A_Stranger for posting such inspirational articles.

3) simply_sister because she kept track of my nonexistant absense...AND because I get the feeling I could really get along with her.  

4) mr. bean because he doesn't need an explanation.

5) UmmWafi because I look forward to her 3am posts.  It's like getting a present.

Wasalaam.

[wlm] and [slm] Here is my take.

1) sis a silverose : She mashAllah choses her words very nicely and really seems to be "strivinsister". Has a very calm nature and all.... mashAllah

2) Muhammad Ahmed : Although i've read few of his posts but they were so deep and thought provoking, i'm impressed big time :) and whenever i see that he is logged in, i'm like "HE is here... !" :) ... mashAllah nice work brother

3) Madina Wrestler : Oh the rules say we can't repeat names, oh well they can't ban me for repeating :P.....  
A guy who really knows how to lead by example, mashAllah :)

4) Abu_Hamza : My hero :P... okay seriously speaking, this brother really puts some effort in texting things and each word of his is worth reading, although sometimes there are so many words that i fail to catch up :P ... Keep it up brother :)

5) Asim Karim : Its just that i love practicing Muslims who are at the top :) not to mention his recent convincing points :)

PS: bro Arshad if we dont repeat then this thread wont be as popular as the cows.. oh i mean the cars one, an engineer can always count active users, no ? :P .... here is a failing example of a meant-to-be-popular thread :) http://www.jannah.org/cgi-bin/madina/YaBB.pl?board=british;action=display;num=1055174426

well here goes!!!!

Bhaloo That car thread was totally cool (not too sure abt the lady's parking though  >:( I genuinely look forward to what u will come up with next

Halima I always love her posts, and she shared so much experience and knowledge made me really want to go to kenya and meet the muslims there...

Abu Atheek Cricket fan..... (need i say more  ;))

Attia Always posts something different, knowledgeable, new...... those dua's from the Qur'an were a great idea

And last but not least

Anonymous -  :-/ well some of the anonymous posts have been really great and to be honest it lets us see views that people might be too shy to post if their names were on them....

[wlm]

PS i admire many other people in my Madina family, but if i begin, this post will go on for pages.... though i don't post very often i have been lurking for ages since, the old board..... :-* :-* :-* so i have read soooo many wonderful posts and learnt sooo many things Alhamdulillah

As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah,
Not really a "shout-outer," but kind words are a good thing:

Saadia: For being my "translator." Not to mention my little sister (that's tough work). And for having a streak of my mom in her.
Chris: Because he submitted - after aaawwwlll that, very courageous, mashaa'Allah. Allah is the turner of hearts. May He keep you steadfast and help you help us.
deenb4dunya: For summarizing Ibn Qayyim's "Invocation of God" with Mystic (who's already been shouted out to), and also my way of hinting for more.
JustOne: For having the ability to tell any story in the most hilarious way.  
Barr: For being level-headed. And for actually wanting to come to Albany from overseas (wait - is that level headed? jk, the retreat/ppl will be well worth it at least, i'A). May Allah grant you (and anyone else) a safe trip.

Special mention to (ie, I could keep going):
Simply_Sister: Already been shouted out to, but I've meant to tell her she has the most encouraging posts. Never seems to offend anyone, mashaa'Allah, always says a kind word.
Panjul: For tellin it like it is. My guess is she packs a punch, too.
AyeshaZ: For suggesting so many good ideas and asking for them, too. I'm all about benefiting from someone else's experiences/tips.
Muslimah853: Similarly, for benefitting us with real-life experience and being so genuine.  
Yunus: Not sure what happened to him, but may Allah protect all those who carry out the struggle/jihaad of speaking the truth and rallying behind it.
Noera: Shout out for completing her grad degree, mA!
Etc: I really could keep going.

May Allah grant you [i]all[/i] good in this life and the aakhirah, aameen. If I've offended anyone in any way, please forgive me.  :)

Salaams,

Well I'll post tomorrow insha-Allah for my next five people.
But first:

Bhaloo, for inspiring many of the brothers and for his immense strength in Allah and having patience when he got laid off from his job.

Nomi, for being a good brother, where I have similiar qualites to him and above all sharing the Sharia dream. May Allah make it possible for us.

Humble Bumble ok thats Humble Muslim, for his support to the Muslims and being firm like a rock even when times are hard.

Mike, for his wit and for the love he has for his wife, kids and everyone on this board.

Sis Elenor, for being a truly remarkable sister.

Apologies to everyone else if I could carry on I would name every single one of you.

Good thing you put some rules on this Brother Bhaloo  ;)
(I would definitely be repeating all of thee above).

Masha’ Allah… I adore the whole Madina Family, I am very thankful. I enjoy the one time posters all the way through those increasing our knowledge & those confirming it.  I even enjoy those that challenge it.  It’s great how everyone is so supportive of one another, & support has so many definitions. I could write something on everyone here…including “Anon” But Brother Bhaloo said five :  :( (okay,I even like the rule breakers )

#1  Ameera……her posts are really inspiring to me.. Masha’ Allah …they always give me a hint of a smile, a refreshed perspective, & an inner confirmation…. Enjoyable… Subhan Allah.

#2  Solitude… just reading the name puts peace in my heart, like I feel a second of inner silence every time I read the name…. Masha’Allah

[s]#3  JustOne…. Masha’ Allah…. Anyone who could catch a train like that !! [/s]…  (oops wait she already said my name)   :-*

#3  M.u.s.a.f.i.r. …… For starting the most awesome marriage thread to date (have you read those posts in there)…..Subhan Allah.  And for his great poetry (when he feels inspired to share)… Masha’ Allah

#4  little._.sister…. for starting off in madina sharing her very nice poem with us... Masha’Allah (may more follow.... Insha Allah)

[s]#5  Lightningatnite… clean cut & to the point … Subhan Allah (well that’s how the posts come across)[/s]   (wait I’ve said that before, that doesn’t count does it?)  ;)

[s]#5  Sofia ….Subhan Allah…. [/s]  (wait I’ve said that before too)  :-*

#5  Missy …… for sharing her truly Enlightening dream with us & the prospects of conversion.… Insha Allah (it’s so heartfelt to read of the conversions) ….Subhan Allah

[quote] May Allah grant you all good in this life and the aakhirah, aameen. If I've offended anyone in any way, please forgive me.[/quote]

I guess we keep coming back because we enjoy it so much here  :-*

Assalaamu alaikum,

AbdulBasir: I always look forward to your posts. Mashallah, your knowledge and wisdom is inspiring, may Allah increase it further. I think we should have a rule on the board that in each thread hajj/umrah/makkah/madina be brought up to entice AbdulBasir to post more :)

Kashif: Where are thou? Your pithy posts are filled with knowledge and humor at the same time. Mashallah, the brother is always striving to learn and help the cause of Islam.

BrKhalid: He is the analyzer, who looks at posts and finds new twists and correlations. And, he is the peacemaker. "Only queen's english understood, no slang please":)

meraj: hope all is well with you inshallah. I miss your wise and gentle words mixed in with the geekiness which proved the fact that geeks are the coolest ppl! :)

'Uthman: Another brother who has a thirst for knowledge. I wish you posted more frequently.

hmm, that is five already...
Ikani, sorry man for not keeping in touch with you. Hope you are not mad :)
HiMY: an interesting and multi-talented brother mashallah.
others: all madinan brothers and sisters, you have enriched us all in many ways. May Allah guide and protect us all.

Where are you...
Abu Khaled: the mystery man has deserted us :(
PacificBreeze hope all is well with you, inshallah.

The purpose of this thread was to be sort of an ice breaker.  To let others know about  other people (that's why i didn't want people repeated, i wanted to go through everyone on the board).  THere's a lot of newbies on the board, so it would be good for them, and plus it would encourage others that aren't   It also gives me an idea of what kind of stuff you guys like, so I can take some of the discussions in those directions or develop new ones.

I have been away for a few,  We went camping,  busy at work, and doing a home remodel and I didn't want this to slip by and i hope I do  not mess it up by forgetting people and if I have forgotten someone , sorry but here goes:

hamayoun,  has a good heart for people and you can tell from his posts that he wants this to be a better world.

Abu Fatimah (for some of you newer people you can try to figure who it is , but fatherhood is one of the greatest aspirations you can do).  for the many kind words and honesty he has shown me over the last year and a half.

maliha,  i like her posts

Jannah,  for allowing me to stay as long as i have.

a sliver rose,  again for many kind words.

panjul,  even though we are worlds apart politically, i like to read her posts because it reminds me of me 25 years ago.

mujy,  well he is banned, but i had the greatest time talking with him.  Even though he was very opinionated (and wrong) it did not get in the way of being friends.

there are a few more Yunus,  Umm wafi, Abu Hamza etc. and sorry about the others who  i did not mention

Not to switch the subject here but has anyone even heard from Mujy? He is my sons age and I felt like he was a lil bro. We emailed once or twice in regular email and then he disappeared. I always wondered what happen to him and if he is ok.

As to my list in this post bhaloo asked us to use ones who have not been mentioned.

And I can't. But here goes.

Bro Hanif,  His wisdom and compassion absolutly impresses me.

Simply_Sister and Mystic and Silverose,  their kindness and and caring are great. They also know how to stand up to a bro giving them an arguement in a post.

Jannah, she is so cool and so wise for her age. and what an undertaking she has with this board and all of us and our different quirks and personalitites. I wonder if in paradise Allah will make her the paradise social worker  :P

Mujy, even though you are not here on the board, was fun being your big sis and was even cool arguing with you  here's to you wherever you are  []

Sal, The best friend and brother a sister could have.    :)

Kathy, her sense of humor all with her compassion and momma mod stlye is precious.

Dawn, she is a compassionate lady, very kind who although not arguementative (unlike a few of us) knows how to quietly get her point across.

There are many more and forgive me for not including all, but it would take a whole thread to mention everyone.
All of you certainly have your own gifts that make so so unique and special.

awwwwwwwwwwww Kathy me too. I went through my old emails yesterday and can't find his last email address. I think I offended him without meaning to during our last emails. He started his own forum or yahoo group or something and he sent me an artical he knew he shouldn't be sending to me (due to my hubbys employ, was not cool) I asked him not to send such things to me again. I never heard back from him. Before that we emailed back and forth.
I always called him Lil' Bro   :)
If I remember correctly he is my youngest sons age. I sure hope wherever he is that he is ok and well.

I waited a week to respond to this post thinking it over carefully, so regardless of what you brought up, it was a week ago I was thinking of Bro Mujy.
