['Abd al-Baari]

:sl:

answer questions...sure inshallah..why not!
poem/story..can't really do that :-[

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

Let's make it a story competition. Hopefully moderators can enter!

[Umar001]

No I think we should have a poetry competition. With a student of knowledge starter pack!! :D As prize.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

a poem is more realistic is it takes up less time so would result in more competitors, i dont mind stories tho, i got lots of time Alhamdulillah

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

That's not fair. I don't like poems. Well I do, I just don't like writing them. Let's make it a literature competition.

Oh, and ibn AbdulHakim... you didn't even finish that last story.

[IB-Staff]

Let's make it a story competition.

Coz you are good at it? :mmokay: Q & A sounds fair.

Hopefully moderators can enter!

He did say it's also for staff.

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

Well... how about we make it optional. Q & A or submit your own literature?

And thanks for the compliment, but I already knew that.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

:salamext:

That's not fair. I don't like poems. Well I do, I just don't like writing them. Let's make it a literature competition.

Oh, and ibn AbdulHakim... you didn't even finish that last story.

oh yeah... it wasnt all that anyway lol, i'll write another complete one if this competition agrees on stories.

i enjoy both equally, poetry and story telling, so inshaAllah i dont mind

[Far7an]

Sounds good! I'm in!

[-S-]

ok added in a poll u guys decide

and yeh open to mods too :D

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


How about loads of dif categories? :? So people can post in what they're more good at?

[piXie]

:sl:

U ppl choose whatever u want, im good at everything :p [eXcept eXmz]

nah...

hold on, who's the judge ? ^o)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

:salamext:

that seems inconsistent tho bro, best to stick to one, we can hold more later :) inshaAllah

[IbnAbdulHakim]

i feel like writing a story, done too many poems in rhymes thread already!

[The Ruler]

:sl:

+1 I'm in.

:w:

[jzcasejz]

Poems...? Maybe. To write up an essay is too much...which is why I chose Q 'n' A.

[piXie]

:sl:

Essays/Stories hv the most votes so far :offended:

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

No, actually it's tying with Q&A.

Just to let you know, next person who votes for other than essays/stories will receive an infraction and a -36 negative rep.:)

[piXie]

n the mod who gives it will get banned *inshaAllah* :p

now let me vote Q & A's :shade:

[afriend]

Coz you are good at it? :mmokay: Q & A sounds fair.
He did say it's also for staff.

And story idea sounds ok...:thumbs_up Good idea...Admin...:statisfie:statisfie:statisfie We love you now.

:w:

[The Ruler]

Just to let you know, next person who votes for other than essays/stories will receive an infraction and a -36 negative rep.:)

That'd be unfair for me...I can only write stories/essays these days...Can't be bothered with poems anymore. Please? C'mon... You're kind enough right? :D

- I have no idea what the Q & A is about :mmokay:

:w:

[IbnAbdulHakim]

people can easily cheat with questions and answers (google) but not so easily with stories!

[jzcasejz]

Then those 'Google Cheats' will be dealt accordingly.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

- I have no idea what the Q & A is about :mmokay:

:w:

a competition of how many questions we can answer correctly :)

im not sure how we can all equally get the same number of questions, setting up a system will be far harder then setting up a system for a story writing competition

[tomtomsmom]

We could all have the same questions that are sent to us by pm. then we would have 24 hours to reply. I think maybe we could have rounds. Like the top 15 off the first set of questions gets a second set and so on.

[Yanal]

Asalam alkum yes brother s i think it is a wonderful idea to make it questions and answers

[BlissfullyJaded]

:sl:

Just to let you know, next person who votes for other than essays/stories will receive an infraction and a -36 negative rep.:)

You just try it missy! (It would be -18 btw. ;) )

Ah well, I voted essays / stories anyways.

[syilla]

Not fair...i won't be getting any kind of prizes cause i don't have that kind of talent.

What about islamic games? (erm...but not quiz)

[Khayal]

:sl:

hmmmm well I'll be the judge....:blind:

btw Brother, excellent Idea...:thumbs_up


:w:

[S_87]

:sl:

im in inshaAllah

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

I'll just have to pass some reps around and neg rep them again in future then.:p

I can't believe Q&A is beating stories by twice as much.:blind:

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ yeah... we already got tons of Q&A threads, if people like it so much why dont they use it lol

[Woodrow]

I voted for Essays and stories, but to be honest Q&A would be the fairest to judge.

[...]

^Yeh i agree and for essays/stories you need a limited number of topics to be able to judge fairly because anyone could write anything, whereas for Q&A its the same for everyone because everyone gets the same question

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

^ We could make it on one topic. Like... a story about death.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

to be honest everyone is intelligent on different levels, and everyone might know the answers to one topic better then the other. in the same way people might be better in writing on one field then the other.

so honestly i think both are the same when it comes to judging.

also we can make the judging factor not how enjoyable the story is, but how much of islam the story teaches.

A strong structured story built around one ayyat could teach a lesson which can benefit someone for life... sadaqah jaariyah right there...

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


How about two different competitions or something? Those who want stories can have stories? And those who want Q/A's can have them?


And i don't want the story thing to be limited to one topic only.. but it would have to be anything related to Islam maybe.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

:salamext:
but it would have to be anything related to Islam maybe.

not maybe bro lol it HAS to be islamic, whats the point of writing a story which takes someone away from the remembrance of ALlah right? :)

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:


lol i meant i don't want it to be limited to death only.. obviously it has to be sutin islamic lol..

[IbnAbdulHakim]

:salamext:


lol i meant i don't want it to be limited to death only.. obviously it has to be sutin islamic lol..

lol sry my mistake :hiding:

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

There should be a word limit. Maybe 500 words? And no less than 250 words. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair. Someone could write a 2000 word story, which can't be compared to a 200 word story.

Plus, if it's too long, it would take the judges too long to read through it and thus waste time.

[MuhammadRizan]

Salam.

wat about islamic riddle?

[Muhammad]

:sl:

I think stories or poems would be more interesting as a competition theme, where other members could get to see some of the entries later. It's something that everyone can have a go at, even if they don't feel confident in doing so. However, it does depend on how it is going to be judged and who will be judging it.

[Yanal]

proberly the adminstrators

[syilla]

I'm not good with essays and poems but i wanna win too :(

[Tania]

I'm not good with essays and poems but i wanna win too :(

I think then it would be much better an question and answer competition:)

[Silver Pearl]

:wasalamex

Personally I think stories/poems and essays would be the best to judge. Question and answer means you'll get 300 people who get all questions right out of 400 competitors, if you're rich, Go for it. However, personally I think stories and poems would be more interesting.

[lyesh]

^^ I agree with u sis! stories and poems wud be more interesting! :)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

so i just have to make 8 new users and vote story lol


i dont really wanna do QnA... it seems like it wont be fair. allahu a'lam how its gnna b judged..

[Have Faith]

:sl:

Personally I think stories/poems and essays would be the best to judge.

;D haha! question and answers got my vote :D
How come your leaving the forum? :?

[abu abdurrahman]

:sl:

I said questions and answers, but it would be too easy to win prizes based on one question only....


could be like "first to 5... :happy:


or 50" :muddlehea


...What am I saying?!

Decide already

[AmarFaisal]

I think the only competition left in this forum is that of Stories and essays..if I am not wrong.

There are many threads on questions and answers, and quiet a few threads on poetry competitions as well. We should have some on short Islamic stories as well.

I vote for Islamic story.

[Periwinkle18]

i'm not gud at essays but i can try to write a story anyways i chose ques and ans.

[Al-Zaara]

Selam aleykum,

I vote for essays.

[Danah]

I vote for Q & A
