I think they doing it early this year because they want to do it during the Summer Holidays, so the kids can come and enjoy as well.

[S_87]

[Aziaf]

There is not a site set up just yet, but some information on the islam channel website.

Isnt it worth it to see people like Dr zahkhir Naik, Sh khalid Yasin and Yasir Qadi ect ...

i know sisters get over excited..but thats sometin we ned to adres and work on, not boycott. If muslim sisters behaved themselves and brothers stopped oogling and loweredthere gaze it would be much better i agree. Bt doesnt mean we abandon it completely. Go to the talks and event that u want and lave out the concert and other stuf to avoid fitnah ect.

If we dont go and remind people and set a standard, more and more practcig muslims will remain at home and there will not be enough peolple to represent real islamic characteristics,whcih is dangerous especially since there are also many non-muslims that attend.

:w: :D :w:

its in November now the GPU Not August as advertised. Got told this from someone who works at Islam Channel :)

:peace:

[rushsjilbab]

:sl:

i want to go just for the lectures and the speeches by the sheikhs as i find them benefiting and helps me to increase my iman and knowledge. but then i dont want to go because i think instruments are totally haram and dont want to listen to some nasheeds. :rollseyes

Assalamu Alaikum,

you can always watch the lectures from home, and when the music comes on just turn the tv OFF.

[rushsjilbab]

yer i did that last year but coz i didnt know when the lectures where going to be on i missed most of them:cry: . do they have a timetable or sumthing?

[ummAbdillah]

:sl: ^ they had a timetable last year, but
they never stuck to it :giggling: There was more nasheeds and less lectures.
I will watch the lectures form home inshallah, :)
despite the musical intruments, it's still a great event. There is always room for improvement...I hope and pray that the muslims that do attend benifit greatly!
:w:

[farhan2]

I was there last year.. but i was very busy.. i had a stall, it was called Maniac Muslim.. we were very close to the Kiswah (cloth that covers the kaaba)..
But yea we were selling shirts with 'your mum....' at the front and 'has heaven beneath her feet' at the back..
And also I was selling my paintings.. alhamdulillah from that prospective it was cool.. otherwise i cant say.. didnt really get time to go around and have a look.. i was always at the stall.
And by the looks of it... its not going th happen this year.. as the cost is very very expensive.. regular size stall costs £780.. and i cant cover the cost just by selling my paintings.
iA next year :)

[Salaam]

so how much did it cost for a stall last year?

[farhan2]

about the same price.. but beacuse i wasnt doing it alone i.e. i was with three other bros.. we split the cost..
and unfortunatly not in that position this year..:(

[farhan2]

You was next to eachother and you didn't talk, :o|

We probably did talk, just that.. we didnt know who each other were.. like on here..
But no worries..

But I have good news peep.. I will have my work there :) yay..
its not my stall the stall will be called HIBAH the bro is seleing tailored jubbahs etcetc.. and im just on the side.. hes helping me out.. more news will come soon iA..
but its definate now.. i will be there.. so look out for the stall HIBAH..

ill tell you the story later iA

[farhan2]

Salaams..

iv put this in the art thread aswell.. but as its about GPU i added it in here aswell

BIG NEWS BIG NEWS BIG NEWS

some really amazing news i had to share with you peeps

Today a really good friend of mine came to my house while i was actually on my way to Seven Kings.. going to see family.. but anyway... he came to my house and wanted to take a few paintings which he was going to auction at St Georges Hospital/isoc etc UK so his intentions were to take around two or three and auction them and ended up taking 7 paintings of mine.. to use the rest for display..
So while that was going on.. I was meeting my mother at aunts house in Seven Kings to see the brother who is helping me out at GPU, he lived close by.. Gants Hill I think it was.. so alhamdulillah thats going all smoothly iA.. which is cool
Then about half an hour later I got the amazing news... the auction had gone on for around 2 hours and the brother from St Georges hospital rang me to tell me, well he goes the good news or the bad news., I say bad news first and he replies there is non.. then the good news..

Are you ready for this haha.. hold on to your seats.. hahaha cos i nearly fainted.. but i survived..

From the 7 paintings he took and originally only wanting to auction 2 or 3 of them.. in the end they auctioned all of them and i was ecstatic.. like wow omgosh... so subhanAllah i though wicked they must have made a few hundred pounds.. all money was for charity but i was wrong.. i was waaaaayyyyyy offf..

They raised (now take a deep breath) you ready.... £3000............ :blink: :blink: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... :wow: :wow: :wow:
you got that right.. THREE THOUSAND POUNDS.. and i was seriously in major shock.. :wow: :wow: and alhamdulillah.. from that he handed out a few of my cards and now I have another 10 orders or so.. :dance: :dance: :dance:
and honestly i dont have the time to do them :lol: .. but i will soon iA..

But thats the big news.. 7 paintings of mine were able to raise £3000 for charity.. unfortunately i couldn't be there.. but i would have loved to see it happen.. i had other business to attend to as you know..
But SubhannAllah all I can do is thank Allah for guiding me and giving me the opportunity to do something so small for something so big..
I am over the moon.. my hearts pumping like mad.. this is where I feel like becoming a full time artist haha.. but there you are peeps..
iA hope you liked the good news everyone..

And i have only ever auctioned a painting for charity once before and that was also good but it was a while ago..

But seriously peeps.. iA.. im going to be working on some more auction pieces iA. in the future.. when i told my family and parents.. they were like :blink: :blink: wow :D

[sevgi]

i voted no...

lol..im in Australia...:D

[sudais1]

any brothers going,

Im coming from Canada for the event so Im wondering if any bro's from here are going?

[*Maysun]

i went last year to GPU and i was like why did i go ..

there are some nasheeds with instruments..

espeically Sound of REason telling the truth i thought it was music

[S_87]

:sl:

the line up sucks, they having more and more women talking and from the looks theres gonna be music

[Al-Hanbali]

:salamext:

Sheikh Mishary Rashid el-Efasy, Muhammad al-Shareef, Usama al-Safi are going to be there.

[Isma'el]

Wate Of Money & Time..!!!!

[*Maysun]

Wate Of Money & Time..!!!!

TRUEEE!!!!!!!

[farhan2]

I was to busy to actually take in what was going around and on.. I was just on my stall was very busy my art sold out in two days. that was something.. the first time I did an art stall ever to sell my work.. i never thought it would be such a big hit.. alhamdulillah. but anyway I have a stall this year aswell. ok its not mine exactly but the bro im joining with he sells tailored abayas and my art will be in that stall and ill be around so look out for the stall peeps.. Its called HIBAH, we are going to be next to the qiswah.. as I was last time which was great.. but anyway so look out for the stall peeps.. HIBAH and then you see the art in there. it will all be my work. Ill be there aswell.. just loafing about.. any q's or queries about my work.. then youll be directed to me so you can ask...and meet me iA.
And if you want to buy a piece aswell.

[$tranger]

i knew it wouldn't be true, Sheikh Mishary Rashid al-Efasy is not longer going to be @ the GPU and can't blame him for that :-\
he is no longer on the list... http://www.theglobalunity.com/Speakers.php
