oh there was an entrance fee? oops we parked far away n kinda came in through th side gate to avoid th sun... didn't kno.. :zip:

n 3 times? seems like u made up for ours missing it... thnx

Oh and we didnt get a donkey ride piskel

I dont think the segregation was that bad

It was GUD arrangements, even the tent had a covering seperating the sisters n brothers alhamdulillaah. m surprised no one mentioned tht. n outside was.. maaany moms n dads wid their young kids mostly. Family day...outside. It was difficult to segregate it completely.

best thing was meeting 5 LI sisters

tht sister with u...was she HumbleServant?

I'm slightly confused as to what you mean by a right answer. Aren't there different opinions with regards to whether neglecting Salaah makes one a kaafir or not? n I think due to the shortage of time, Jalal Ibn Sa'eed only gave a short n brief answer saying tht:

1. Those who believe prayer is not compulsory n it is enough to have a good heart, are not believers (because they are outrightly rejecting the verses of the Qur'aan)

2. Those who do not pray but they believe salaah to be compulsory (i.e they do not reject the verses of the Qur'aan) are faasiq and sinners.

nothin dodgy abt tht. hmm.

Secondly, towards the end, he way over did the Eid thing, and made it sound far more important than it was, and actually said that he believed having a unity on Eid was the solution to unifying the ummah - basically he was trying to sell his "1Eid" event.

I was not able to hear this lecture unfortunately, but don't you think it would be more better n more safer for us, if we gave 70 excuses before allowing ourselves to think that? :blind:

n by believing that having unity on Eid is the solution to unifying the Ummah is not really tht dodgy There are more than one solutions to unifying the Ummah, nothing toooo dodgy abt tht, right? hmm. Ask him how, maybe he'll explain. wa Allaahu a'lim.

Thirdly, he said it was halaal for us to live in this country so long as we pay a bit of money towards da'wah (now for anyone who has studied, or researched a little about hijrah they would know how stupid this sounds). Its not allowed to live in a non-muslim country save a few exceptions, and they are on a temporary basis.

He said it was not allowed for us to live in a non muslim country unless we gave Da'wah, n this is true. JazakAllaah Khayr for the recordings, I would like to listen to those lectures again insha'Allaah.

i actually enjoyed that part of the talk

from what i understood he said dawah is the thing that makes it allowed for us to live in this country, so we should give money and support dawah in any form we can or something like that

and your ahem didnt answer my question.
Was it a book stall? there were quite a few of them

and pixie jolie didnt even recognise me when she saw me

jolie where was the entrance fee? i didnt know there was one LOL

What is Ruqiah and Hujama? Where in the Sunnat is this mentioned? How come I've never heard of it before?

i wish we have like some islamic events in michigan... well i never know about em... but inshallah i look it up. welll good luck u guys..

Assalamau alaikum
What did you guys make of the event?
Did you watch the video presentation or did you just jump around on the bouncy castle eating barbequed chicken?

only kids were allowed on the jumping castle. not adults. even if youre someone elses kid and youre an adult.

i missed the vid presentation. well i was there but not in the tent.

Jolie... I'll be listening to wat u have to say to amani!

Segregation yeah of coursseee thats true HOWEVER.... it makes it a little uncomfortable. Personally, I didn't go to any of the stalls, or even have any food :| because it was quite queued up etc... it would have been good to have brothers on one side with their stalls, and sisters on another with their stalls - that includes books, etc, and food. So basically bros have their side for their things and you can have the same stalls they have - for women. Thats possible, is it not?

But again, a good sincere effort masha allah. I just wish the crowds were more interested in the talks than the rides and attraction outside. Allah make it so the next time anything like this happens..

Aameen. Maybe many of them were interested, but because they were parents with kids screaming to go on the rides, they couldn't attend the lectures. I myself missed the Eid Lecture because I had to take my younger cousin to the toilets and on a donkey ride.

No. If you miss out Salaah you are kaafir. That was the Sahaabahs opinions. Refer to my sig for more information.
