SubhanAllah Sis, You know how many times I searched for it on Google earth, but it would never come up.

MashaAllah, it looks so beautiful from a birdseye view. I was even able to locate our house.

Jazaakillah khayr.

^

I saw our house tooooooooooo Masha'allah Masha'allah And Ahmad Dammaji still has that land behind our house empty!!

and I see they are growing stuff in it Masha'allah. And I see our big field we had next to our house!!

It's still there Masha'allah, I missed going there and picnicking with Dalaal between the wheat

Can't wait to go back

**Abu Sayyad** · **Re: Yemen -** 05-01-2007

^ Where's the great white building? There's two white buildings I think

amirah_87 · **Re: Yemen -** 05-01-2007

I doubt that's the current way it looks right now Maw!! lol It's more packed apparently!

But hey, subhanAllah they even got the big old school bus on there!

And hey you see our Waadii! and the fields we used to go to!

Aaaah!

And then there's that Dawm tree we used to go picking dawm from..

And 'amm Misfir's shop!

Mawaddah · **Re: Yemen -** 05-01-2007

^ Erm, dont you see two wide white buildings ? Those are the Masjid, the other smaller white/silverish long buildings scattered around are chicken farms

Are you serious kay???

Because when I saw it I was like Ya Subhanallah!! it hasn't changed much after all!! I was so happy!!

You say it's more crowded than that? I"m sad all over again now

I'm so afraid of all my fields being wiped away and replace by houses

I see the dawm tree kay

and you see the Mountains we used to climb

remember when we saw Shaheedah walking down the road and we yelled down to her from the top of the mountain and everyone who was on the road going to the Sheikhs class looked around and stared?

If someone is planning to buy land, then how do I make sure noone takes it away from me. Like say I leave the country for abit?

Mawaddah · **Re: Yemen -** 05-01-2007

^ YOu would have to make an agreement with the landlord.

Like my dad he bought loads of land, and he paid for it, but when we left, the landlords confiscated the land again....except for one that is.

And besides, in Dammaj , land never becomes truly 'yours' you just pay for it and it becoems yours for the amount of time that you stay there, and if you leave it goes back to the original owners.

amirah_87 · **Re: Yemen -** 05-01-2007

Lol.. shush man! I remember that!

I'm trying to locate the Jinn Mountain.

I never got to go up there!

I gotta take you on a tour of all the new bits sometime inshaAllah ;)

There's still plenty of fields still there, don't worry!

I had a chance to go up the Jinn Mountain but I was too scared

They say that if you go up there you can hear the Jinns whispering and all of that, is it true

and Kay, I dont think Dammaj needs a tourguide, but still, it'll be so fun if we can scour it top to bottom like we used to do together innit

And when your buying land, make sure your land owner is a trustworthy one!!

There are a few who aren't students of knowldge who con people real bad.
Wallahul musta'aan.

And also watch out for the new landowner trend!

"The land is yours! but the roof is mine.." (meaning he's gonna sell the roof so other people could build on top

)

Hehehe nooo course it's not!

We were told: No one's made it to the top alive!

& u see the people dropping off like flies before they make it to the top..

But that's just A Dammaaji Myth.. *I hope*
