    From Occupied Palestine:

    We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

    Re: LI Writing Contest 2014: Discussion Thread

    Alhamdulillah all the writers have done a great job. But I didn't expect that we would have just 3 entries. I was waiting for the stories so I had to read them as soon as possible and this time the stories were not too many.

    Voice from within : The story was short but meaningful. The descriptions in the beginning were really good and created a good imrwssion. I liked the story.

    Is life a struggle : It was a sort of ordinary story. Descriptions weren't adequate.

    Trail of Snowden : The twists were really good. It created a good suspence and the end was unexpected.

    I liked the first story too but the 3rd story got my vote. I could easily guess the writers. .

    In keeping with the previous years, and to ensure that as many members get a chance to read and vote for the stories (which Im sure took a lot of time, care and effort) - the deadline for voting is in 2 weeks: 22 Feb 2014.

    So dear members, please do read the submissions made by our talented members, and provide them with your thoughts, comments and feedback....and don't forget to vote!

    Jazak-Allaho khairan to the talented IB writers. You've worked hard and provided excellent reading material (stories and poems). In time I will comment on the entries and give constructive feedback in-sha-Allah.

    Now it's time to read and vote.

    Asalaam O Alaikum...

    Thank you for initiating this contest.

    Do we have to be the author? Can the author be someone else and we share it over here?

    walakum salaam bro Syed

    The stories have to be your own, no one elses. Unfortunately the competition time is now over and votes are taking place in the other thread.

    I've been meaning to enter this comp for a few years now, but haven't done so far...

    ...maybe one day in sha Allah

    Assalaamu Alaykum,

    Apologies for the disruption to the competition. In sha Allah we will make a new poll and everyone will need to re-cast their vote. We will also make a new deadline for the voting In sha Allah. Jazakumullahu khayran for your patience.

    As there is still some maintenance work going on, perhaps we should wait until it's finished to avoid losing any posts. In sha Allah it will be done soon and then we can continue with the competition. Apologies for the delay and Jazakumullahu khayran for your continued patience.

    Re: LI Writing Contest 2014: Discussion Thread

    dear brothers and sisters,

    Alhamdulillah, 1st Muharram 1436 is upon us in shaa Allah.

    As we look forward towards a new year, we also look back at what has passed - what has been accomplished by the will of Allah, and what remains to be.

    Our last Writing Contest was held earlier this year, and unfortunately due to technical difficulties, our winners are still to be finalized.

    We will be re-opening the polls to enable you to vote for your favorite story.

    Please support our writers, who have placed immense time and effort into their work - by reading their entries and participating in the vote here: http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...4-entries.html, and, sharing your constructive feedback in this thread.

    Polls close in a month in shaa Allah: 24 November 2014

    Looking forward to hearing from everyone in shaa Allah
