"Behind the Scenes" of IB

***charisma*** · 06-01-2006

Assalamu Alaikum

Alright, I sorta wrote this a long time ago...and was VERY hesitant about posting it, but I guess it distroys the whole purpose of writing it: to share it with all of you! Well, I've been here long enough to know many of the EXTRAORDINARY members that make LI unique and special Mashallah, including the nonmuslims who have had to deal with our craziness..

Anyways I wrote this on my free time *during class when it got soo boring*, and it's a bit outdated, but those of you who have been here for a few months, should know what is going on Inshallah..Alright, Imma shut up now and let you all read..

Characters in this Scene (so the newbies don't get lost):

Ofcoarse the Golden Title is given to the
Head Administrator of LI:

Kadafi : Creator of LI (Barak Allahu Feek!)

Administrators of LI (shades included ofcoarse):

Ansar: One of LI’s top refuter
Khaldun : The “Quiet” Mod, expresses himself with a raise of an eyebrow…amazing hafidh mashallah, also helped with the creation of LI

The SuperMods also referred to as
SM's of LI:

Far7an: Most sarcastic, and top SM at LI
zAk: Who doesn’t know him!
Muhammed: One of the more knowledgeable brothers…closes threads in peace
Ra'eesah:Mashallah, Very knowledgable, an amazing mod mashallah, but no longer with us *sigh*

Brownies a.k.a "the kids", but formally known as the
Moderators of LI:

Mamsoo- Is now known and referred to as Labiba..(sorry gal, mamsoo will always be stuck with me)
Ahmed-LI’sHalo addict!
Halima- LI’s Fatwa distributer
Rabi'ya- The "Quiet" sister mod
Fi- Very knowledgeable bro, mini version of Ansar, always has ahadith at the tip of his fingertips!

Full Members (majority of LI, we rule! 'cept when we get warnings :X)
czgibson- LI's nonmuslim refuter, english teacher, and excellent character *if you read this thread, please ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes..*

*disclaimer: characters based on real people, and real life events
**THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN TO OFFEND ANYONE!! IF MODS FEEL THAT IT IS SOMEWHAT OFFENDING OR PROVIDES A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR LI, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DELETE WITHOUT CONSENT**

Part - I

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Room
Everyone is sitting on a nice recliner chair sipping on their favorite drink, except the mods who sat at the trainee table (excluding mamsoo, cuz shes not a kid ) Mamsoo and Ra'eesah are discussing social frailities in ths world, while the brother SMs (supermods) are discussing the destruction of the marriage section.

zAk: it must go, too many kids

Far7an: I agree, there topics are childish

zAk: v must talk to kadafi about it

Muhammed: But, ppl would lose their (moderating) jobs

zAk: hmmmmmmm

far7an: well we can assign them to another section

zAk: ah

Muhammed: what about those that need real advice?

zAk: v have the counselling section

far7an: when will Kada---

All of a sudden Kadafi comes in with Ansar and khaldun behind him, both wearing shades.
Kadafi looks around then signals with his hand the SMs to the 'back office'

zAk and far7an slowly walk behind them whispering to eachother.

zAk: what's with ansar and khaldun wearing the shades? *raises eyebrow SS style*

far7an: Authority

zAk: ah.

Muhammed: I thought it was cuz its sunny today :confused:

All of them shrug and walk into the office.

BACK INTO THE MAIN ROOM

some gossip was going on between the "kids" about why the SM's were called back

Ahmad: I heard they were going to add another section

Mamsoo: I heard they were going to let someone go *shocked*

Fi: well whatever it is we shouldn't be talking about it, lets be patient and ask them when they return inshallah *insert hadith here*

Halima: I agree

All sit there in a moment of silence

Ahmad: So, anyone up for pizza?

Fi: We're on a budget *sigh*

Ahmad: Anyone willing to donate :brother:

Mamsoo: Ok, Ok, I'll pay for the pizza this time

Halima: no no no dont pay for all of it, ill pay half

Rabiya: ok, lets all pitch in

Mamsoo: nonsense! I said i was going to pay for it

Halima: I said i was gonna pay half, rabiya dont worry bout it

Rabiya: well i wont eat if im not even gonna pitch in my part.

Mamsoo: ok that's enough, i said i was paying, so I'm paying, alright?

Halima: Well ok whatever, when the pizza man comes, I'll just pay half

Sisters continue to bicker over the pizza

Fi and Ahmad look at each other

Ahmad: We're never gonna get our pizza, are we...

Fi: not unless u start bringing in your own money

INSIDE THE BACK OFFICE

kadafi: so what is all this about?

Ansar: I was refuting czgibson...Inshallah this wont take long *ahem*

SuperMods get a bit nervous

Ra'essah: I have no clue whats going on, so dont ask me.

Far7an: well, zAk and i were discussing how it might be gud to close the marriage section for a bit.

zAk: more like forever.

Ansar: *sigh*

Khaldun: ah, let the kids have their fun

Kadafi: and how will the closure of this section help or benefit the forum?

zAk: *cough* *looks at farhan*

far7an looks back at zAk signaling him to say something. Kadafi raises his eyebrow, waiting patiently for a reply.
zAk: vell how does it help the forum if v dont close it?

:brother:

Far7an: *looks at zAk because of his response* well, the topics are getting useless and there is no benefit to them. If a member wants real help, they can look at past threads or use the counseling section.

TO BE CONTINUED . . . . . (don't worry, more members have already been added to the next scenes..just be patient Inshallah)

**Umm Safiya** · 09-01-2006

Where's the rest..? Moooore!

Al-Mu'minah, that was a really good part masha Allâh.. Jazak Allâhu khayr..

**- Qatada -** · 09-01-2006

Where is She?

They passed through the dark, narrow, quiet hallway..

azim: I think i just stood om something..

Muslim Knight: lol, that was my foot

Samee: Did anyone bring a torch? I can't even see anything. :enough!:

zAk: Why would any1 bring a torch to the park for

H4RUN: Wait up, i think i got a lighter insha'Allaah.

Shadow: How much you buy it for? I'll give you reps if u let he have it?

zAk: I'll give you more

let me have it.

Ahmed: Look brothers - do we do something for reps/honor/money if we going to die and leave it all anyway? Why not do it to please Allaah, this way - no matter what the outcome - you'll be rewarded because you did it to please Allaah alone, and your reward will be with Him in this life and the afterlife.

H4RUN: jazak Allaah for the advice bro.. I think you should hold it.

Ahmed: barak Allaahu feek (may Allaah Almighty bless you) brother.

H4RUN: i'll light it up for u insha'Allaah. *click* here you go..

As H4RUN passed the lighter to Ahmed, the flame touched zAk's hand by accident.

zAk: "Ow! subhan Allaah" out of shock - he pushed the lighter out of H4RUN's hand.

Brothers: Innaa lillaahi wa ina 'alayhi raji'oon! :eek:

The lighter hit the ground while it was still alight..

..A flame roared across the ground at speed.

... But nothing was destroyed.. the hallway was glowing now, as flickers of light spread across the living room. Tall shadows stretched across every wall.

sapphire: Huh? what just happened..

Umm_Shaheed: Who put the light on?

Sanobar: astaghfirullah.. what did i just stand on?

Pieces of bones and dung were scattered in differetn corners of the hallway.

Makkiyah: You better clean your shoes sis

amani: subhan Allaah! look at all those candles in rows :eek: i wonder who lit them up?

Al-Mu'minah: What if someone lives here?

Umm Omar18: Yeah, but we just gota get sis dARk cRyStAl out of here and quickly go back insha'Allaah.

Al-Zaara: Ok - where we supposed to look first?

Daffodil: Use your mind - where do you think a little drum kinda thing could roll off to?

Fatimab: It couldn't be too far, not like it can roll upstairs?

F.Y: yeah, but the one who found it could?

*A silence filled the room*

Tania: .. footsteps...? did anyone hear that...

khadija: No, where?

*A sudden sound of thunder echoed across the room*

Tania: It was.. upstairs.. the noise...

Rabi'ya: Look - let's find her quick and get out of here!

kadafi: Sisters, wait. Everyone has to pray the maghrib salaah, it's about to finish soon.

Alpha Dude: Have we got enough water to do wudhu with?

Muhammad: Erm.. i'm not sure. Has everyone actually got their wudhu? Brothers?

Brothers: Yeah alhamdulillah..

Muhammad: Sisters?

Sisters: We got ours alhamdulillah..

Muhammad: That means we can perform it anyway, alhamdulillah.. by the way - anyone who's got any dirt on their shoes or anything, then please clean your shoes.

Everyone got ready to perform salah. The brothers stood at the front, while the sisters stood near the back. Just like at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) and the companions/sahabah.

"Allaahu akbar"

kadafi had been reciting all the Qur'an surahs in order for the past few days in jamaa'ah (congregational prayer.) Today he would recite:

Media Tags are no longer supported

Surah Jinn [72]

The flames on the candles flickered, as tall shadows on the walls made slow bowing movements, then gradually standing up once again..

A wind blew past.. almost like a whisper. Which made the flames roar once again...

..this continued.. slowly the flames passed out.. one by one - each flicker died like it had never been born, like it never had tasted life...

Verily, you will die and verily, they (too) will die. (39:30)

*The room was in total darkness now.. total silence...*

"Asalaamu 'alykum warahmatulah" (peace be upon you and Allaah's Mercy)

"Asalaamu 'alykum warahmatulah" (peace be upon you and Allaah's Mercy)

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgghhhhh"

*charisma*: What was that!? :eek:

Tayyaba: I think it was from the stairs, let's go insha'Allaah.

Everyone quickly ran towards the stairs.

umm-sulaim: I think i heard it from that room..

syilla: which room sister?

Tania: lol - we need a light, insha'Allaah

Far7an: Listen brothers, get a few candles and light them up again.

H4RUN: Well, well.. guess what? I got a whole box of 'em in the ol' van, and i got a lighter in ma back pocket.. knew it' would come in handy sometime

Alhamdulillah.

i_m_tipu: Light them up quick insha'Allaah. brother akulion, pass them to the sisters insha'Allaah.

akulion: Hana_Aku - here, pass them onto the sisters insha'Allaah.

The brothers ran to one room while the sisters went to the other.

dARk cRyStAl: hu izit? audhubillah (i seek refuge in Allaah) i jus wna go home

Mawaddah: Was that her? I can hear someone talking.

*The sisters walked towards the whispers..*

Hajar: Are you here sis dARk cRyStAl?

*Slowly, they crept towards the corner of the dark room.*

dARk cRyStAl: My foots stook

R U sistas sstill ere?

hidaayah: Yeah, we're here now alhamdulillah.

dARk cRyStAl: Alhamdulillah

can you help?

nazia: Sure insha'Allaah, what happened by the way?

dARk cRyStAl: I went to get Abdullah's little duff, but when i went in - i saw a little cat which was meowing, i thought it needed help, so i followed it, but when i came in this room - my foot got stuck in the wooden floor. And the cat jumped out of those boarded up windows. So i put ma trust in Allaah, and waited for you sisters to come back.

I knew that Allaah would remember me, because i was remembering Allaah:

Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying, etc.). I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to Me. (Qur'an Surah Baqarah [2] : 152)

And i wasn't worried or stressed out alhamdulillah

"Those who believe (in the Oneness of God - Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the rememberance of Allah. Verily, in the rememberance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Quran Ar-Ra'd 13:28)

Umm Hamza: masha'Allaah that's really good sister.. let's go back now insha'Allaah.

C'mon..
