So I have this tiny little problem.. I'm not very good when it comes to coming up with usernames/nicknames.
I see a lot of the members here have very interesting usernames and I was wondering if you don't mind maybe you can share how you came up with it, perhaps there could be a meaning behind it?
My username is Hulk because I can't think of any other username for myself and I just thought it would be funny to imagine Hulk using a computer to go on forums and all.
Your username says Hulk, rather funny.
My username Shadows and dust its a quote from the Greek poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus .
He coined the term "We are all but shadows and dust" referring to the short time of humanity and our accomplishments. Its a very negative and cynical name which fits my personality . But it has a deep meaning and i thought of it without even remembering his name, i am very in tune with ancient Greek culture and philosophy that it pours out of me.
We come we work and we leave, its the life of humans pure and simple. Our lives leave as quick as they come and we are but "shadow and dust".

Al-Bint = The Girl. The first time I ever joined any forum of this kind was when I had recently started learning Arabic. So when I was asked to enter a username, it just clicked as bint was one among the first arabic words I learnt! well yeah there is no interesting story behind this one...
All i wanted really was a short simple User ID. I really dont know how i came up with 'Vision', think i may have nicked it off 'television'.. i dont know
Qurratul Ayn - an Arabic name for a girl (one of my favourite girl's names), meaning "apple of the eye", also it begins with 'Q', for me it's an unusual letter for a name to begin with, that was what most appealed to me
So that'd what your suppose to behead kafir's with? I was doing it all wrong using a pencil , no wonder it took so long
no, I have a folded 440 X katana for that one bro... Nyehs!
I'm surprised no one noticed the effort I took in placing my avatar/logo on the sword (bummer)... but then again, the pic got resized so it's much smaller now. Here's a link: http://oi48.tinypic.com/33as5d5.jpg Yeah, I'm showing off

I have a 13 inch tactical knife with a 8 inch 440 steel, black tainted blade, excellent for a close shave . The irony is i bought it on Christmas lol, the bigger irony is i didn'y know it had a sister blade and i could have bought 2 blades instead of one.
No idea why it looks small i the pic, incase your wondering about the paper its for me to right my rakats on and i intend on doing some artwork regarding the shahadah

I've had all my weapons confiscated by the police... long story short, i was coming back from MA practice, and they did a stop and search and found my chakus... next thing I know, I'm being asked to prove that I was in a class. I couldn't, since the place had closed for the night and I never take my mobile to class. Lost it once there already. Anyway, I gets myself arrested, charged for possession of an offensive weapon. And then given a court date for 6 months time... a week passes and I get a knock on my door. Police have a warrant to search the premises. So they search, find and confiscate... but they can't charge me, because I claim that they hold souvenir value
Wa alaykum salam wrwb to those who greeted. MashaAllah you all have very interesting stories behind your username.
And bro scimitar good work on implanting your logo on the sword lol, the lighting looks right
That's a nice knife you got bro shads what do you use it for? Do you bring it hunting? Eversince a classmate accidentally cut my hand with a penknife I don't play with sharp objects.

Qurratul Ayn liked this post
I'm Samiun becuz there's an arabic word that goes with one of the verse in the Qur'an 'As-Samiun Alim' or something like that..
