[Re.TiReD]

[Güven]

[The Ruler]

[Re.TiReD]

Somebody suggested chocolate :D

[Güven]

yeah ! I was just gonna say books!!!!!!!!

[The Ruler]

You could either have Islamic books, fiction or biographies. You could tell me which category is preferred and I could suggest some.

[Güven]

well you could suggest from each one and then the member chooses ?

[Re.TiReD]

Islamic, Ideally.

I was thinking of the ones I preferred. Namely:

A book titled 'Comfort after calamity'

And:

This is also fab:

[Re.TiReD]

I was thinking that too.

Just wanted a general idea now though. Just so that we can go scouting.

[FatimaAsSideqah]

As Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

How about to put the poll in? So the members can vote which is better prizes for winning? :-[

:wasalamex

True, I just dont have enough ideas atm to make a poll

[The Ruler]

Hmm... Yah. Raheeq al-makhtuum is an excellent one. And then there is the 'Companions of the Prophet I & II... There's also one regarding the lives of the Prophet's (saw) wives. I'll try to find the book and the exact title. There's also the a book called 'Fatwas for a Muslim Woman' or something like that.

[Muezzin]

If you won the writing contest what would be an ideal prize?

MONEY!

...or books, books are good.

So are they solely Islamic books, or is there sort of an option with general fiction as well?

[Re.TiReD]

JazakAllah khayr.

At the last two....If a bro wins I dont think they'd be too happy.

Also with my happiest woman in the world suggestion also.

I think Bro Sajid might want to give Nasheed CD's, what do you guys think? Do you collect CD's or just get them from the internet?

[FatimaAsSideqah]

:wasalamex

True, I just dont have enough ideas atm to make a poll

Insha'Allah, some of members might give some of ideas. Don't worry huni.

I thought the Islamic books is very good idea, how about Islamic CD or tapes or Islamic ornaments?
:)

[Re.TiReD]

Somebody suggested a cheque. Depends how much you're asking, I is a student :exhausted but if you're a sis I'll take you out for a bite to eat ;p

Ok...if we decide at books, I'd give the member a choice....Don't have to be solely Islamic. Although being an Islamic forum, I guess it would make more sense for them to be.

[Güven]

Well its a WRITING contest , so the best thing would be a BOOK innit ?

[Re.TiReD]

I guess, Innit (Please dont use that word in ur submissions people) ;p

[The Ruler]

I think I was a bit sexist hoping a female would win. Hmm.

I think most people just download the nasheeds from the internet.

What if the person decides to leave the forum immediately after the competition?

[Re.TiReD]

Lol if you want reps you'd have to discuss that with the powers that be. Although I'm sure they cant edit your actual reps, just the rep power. But looks like books are the favourite atm

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

:sl:

How about like an AlMaghrib seminar seat, expenses paid? Though that might be beyond the budget..

[crayon]

Perhaps a download-able e-book would be the easiest and financially wisest choice?

[Re.TiReD]

:wasalamex

:ooh: Now that....would be a dream come true :ooh:

Cept I live too far away atm...If I was a city sis that'd be kool :coolious:

[Muezzin]

Would a book voucher be too boring?

[Re.TiReD]

Would a book voucher be too boring?

Yeah...Coz you might not be able to use them at Islamic Bookstores, well not the one's up my end anyway. Although, I guess it is an okay idea.

[Güven]

and remember......not everyone lives in the uk :X

[Muezzin]

Ah. Okay then.

Well, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts!

...yeah, right, taking part didn't win that sodding sack-race...

Sorry, just reminiscing.

[Re.TiReD]

and remember......not everyone lives in the uk :X

True true...What I think is best is to actually wait for a winner and just pick according to what we think they'd like....*shrugs* we'll see insha'Allah

JazakAllah khayr for ideas people

[Re.TiReD]

Ah. Okay then.

Well, it's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts!

Lol it's the taking part.

For all you know, this prize thing might just be a lie....a good incentive though huh :p

[Na7lah]

a giftcard for one of the islamic online stores :D that would be kool or a book *muslim novel or something like that* but no cash!

[Re.TiReD]

[Re.TiReD]

What people could do is actually post what they'd want if they won. Something realistic please.

[Cabdullahi]

i would want a prayer mat,a nice book and lastly ps3:)

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

I'd like this book:

By the same author of 'From My Sisters' Lips'

Mind you, I'm not sure if I'm actually going to enter. I haven't even thought of an idea for a story yet.

I think it should be a book of the winner's choice, but the book should be under a certain price.

[Re.TiReD]
