Subhanallah. I wanted to read Mayada becuase it looked like a truely good book. When I get the time insh'aAllah I'll read it. AS for the Princess Triology, I loved it so much that I've read it 3 times in like 1 week, and in addition to that, I even went to Jean Sasson's website to see if she have any books like that. MashaAllah she's a great author. Even though her stories are based on real-life.

I've read the DaVinci code and know how you feel bout some parts of the book but you've gotta keep reminding yourself that it is just fiction and although Brown claims to base a large part of the story on facts these are just claims and you've gotta take it with a pinch of salt cos the end is as good as the journey!

" The Basic Concepts in the Quran" by harun yahya.
Any thoughts about him?

His books are good but are sometimes way too deep.
He has this thing with evolution and mentions it in every book.
I really liked two books of his though:
Perished Nations and the animal one where it has loads of pictures of the uniqueness of different animals such as butterflies, giraffes etc (can't remember the name of it)

Has anyone ever read Chicken Licken?

The ending is so twisted and not suitable for children.

*SPOILERS*


Chicken Licken and all his mates are eaten by a fox. That's dark stuff man.


*END SPOILERS*

And Little Red Riding Hood. I mean, what's going on there? This wolf comes, murders her granny, and steals her CLOTHES?! There's some next-level Freud BS going on in that story that I don't even want to go into.

Peter Pan is mucked up too. Look how he corrupted Michael Jackson. I sure as heck don't want to know HIS happy thoughts.

Goldilocks is a burglar. Sleeping Beauty is inciting some highly questionable practices. Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz steals one witch's shoes, and then murders another. Alice in Wonderland is the product of some messed-up psychedelic binge.

And don't get me started on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

I was 26 when I met my wife first, but it was possible to marry her only when I was 32 and she was 31, AlhamduLillah.

….. as the saying goes “marriages are made in heaven” whether it is right or wrong I say aameen to the brothers and sisters who wish to marry in their younger ages. Do it and don’t lose the opportunities.

You know why?

I see so many Muslim women in their 40s and 50s never had chance of marrying, yet virgins, because can not afford to pay dowry. They too dreamt of marrying young. Contrary to this there are men in Arab world, in their 50s and 60s without wives, because they can not afford to pay the “Mahar” the women demand, many of them are seen in the “Red-Light” areas of Bangkok, Mumbai etc… What Allah made as halaal for men and women is now…?

Akhee, an islamic wedding doesn't have to cost a lot and the dowry should only be over around £150 or over because, the prophet s.a.w gave that much approx. But of course nowadays islam is out of the question, everyone wants to compete on who can spend the most on weddings. :rant: :rant:

I'd read that he was being sued because some people are saying that he copied their story about Jesus having a daughter and the family line still carrying on to this day and also about the Holy Grail.
I've read it and although I didnt believe (as it is against our beliefs or someof it is anyway :rollseyes ) I cant deny it was a good book.
i've been thinking about reading the others by Dan Brown coz I've heard they're really good.
At the moment I've been reading random books. Mostly by Anthony Horowitz. Have you heard of the Alex Rider series, read them all :happy: .

[Muezzin]

The people suing Dan Brown should fail as he is not infringing copyright - what he is being accused of is stealing these people's ideas. However, mere ideas cannot be copyrighted in the first place. Hopefully it'll get thrown out of court.

That said, I've not read the Da Vinci Code yet. I'm far too snobbish. :p

I am currently reading 'Ark Angel' by Antony Horowitz. The sixth book in the series. :D

I finished reading it, last night! It was okey i guess.. not the best out of all the 6 books in the series. But there was a happy ending to it all! (As always:giggling: )

Ma'assalama

'Ark Angel'.. seems like fiction, is it?

don't tell me the story plz, i think i'll read it. but it's a finished series or is it still progressing?

An excellent series of six books, read them in order, so you understand the characters. I mean the fifth book makes references to the previous books as do the others so if you havent read the first ones you'll be wondering....
I didnt like the Ark angel one because it was a bit boring and sciency (my made up word) but the beginning part is unbeatable!!
If you notice in all his Alex Rider books, Alex has a little adventure of his own before the actual big adventure to do with MI6.
You'll only understand if you've read them. :)

I dont think there are any books after Ark Angel, wish there were because they are sooo good.:happy:

At the moment I am reading a tajweed book about how to pray the qur'aan properly with makhraj etc.

i am currently reading a completely trashy and worthless novel (this is what i mainly read). so i won't even bother to name it.
but has anyone read "the kite runner"? a very beautiful and touching book. a boy growing up in afghanistan, later coming to u.s. (and the tremendous cultural transition) and even later, going back to afghanistan. i heartily recommend it.
i am also reading children's stories in urdu cuz i'm trying to learn the language.

I've read some of them like the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and another two whose name I cant remember but I think one is about an uncle.
Anyway the books are really good, if you read them in order. ;) You'll understand it better!

Yes. I read it and really enjoyed it. I think the author is coming out with a new book this year. That book started me on a 7 book excursion through Afghani history, politics, war, etc...
I am very curious as to what this trash you are reading is! :D Do tell.

Salaam.

I've just finished reading A Brother's Journey. It's a sad story, but well worth a read. And since the story is actually a life story of early years told by the author, it gets very personal.

Oh and if you find child abuse a horror to read about, then maybe you ought to give it a pass.

• Healey, John F 2000: The Religion of the Nabat&#230;ans (Religions in the Gr&#230;co-Roman World, 136), Boston: Brill

I know they're kinda weird, but it is all about the time of the Prophet and/or the Qur'&#226;nic story of the people of Tham&#251;d.

If you're over 18 (cos it's not for kids) read 'The Shining' by Stephen King. A masterpiece of modern horror. I'm almost completely desensitised to 'spooky' things, and I still found it scary as heck.

I'm not really reading any books right now, for me National Geographic and The Economist is all I have time for these days..anything else comes from wikipedia.

He got knocked down by a car a few years ago. Dunno about his heart. His older stuff is the better than his newer novels anyway, though all his books are excellent.
