got an email from farooq yesterday: supposedly to get to ISNA/chicago it is a 24-hour drive. such a friendly thought.

- "You can choose from either black, Asian, or white."
- and here I thought black and white were colours, not ethnic groups. and asian? there are many white asians...
- "In these days, lad, its hard to tell whats what. I'm going to check off the asian and white boxes."

Touche Wikipedia. Touche.

it was the touche of the heart. i wasn't sure if he was going to say it or not, so had to make sure it was said.
wikipedia is a communist plot.

SStudios said...
Wikipedia never lies.
Watch your words you insolent fool :@
~
Salwa said...
"gods of wikipedia"--that's soooooo haram
~
basit said...
taqa - my words are watched. i don't think you're wailing enough.
rooq - seventy excuses. anyways, when i come back iA we'll go through the khareedah and get all ash'ari-ified. but you sound like a teenage girl. and 786 is on the roll for the mpac concert. DO I SMELL A CONNECTION.

Salwa said...
'ash'ari?!?!
i knew they'd bid'ahfy you in shaaam
and i live for 786. my nsync wallet photo was replaced by their group pic.

SStudios said...
Apologies.
The "God of Wikipedia".
Basit, go twirl in a circle.
~
basit said...
ph-r-d - well technically ma'turidi because of hanafi pride. but bid'ah yourself :@ ps the world is ROUND.
"i live for 786"--that's soooooooo haram
the difference between people: some live to eat, others eat to...live. ie. see 786 LIVE.
living = A
eating = B
786 = C
A = B
A = C
B = C!!!!
muntaqs - (twirl) (twirl)
come on everybody
(twirl) (twirl)

Salwa said...
yeh? well technically ash'ari because of malaki pride.

basit said...

hamza yusuf mania :@
~
Salwa said...
shaykh hamza yusuf.
have some adab :@
~
basit said...
shaykh hamza yusuf hanson mania :@
someone here calls him hikmah yusuf, not hamza yusuf
what you are forgetting is that beoble from the subcontinent aren't supposed to be maliki ash'aris. you should be a braelvi rizvi :@
~
Salwa said...
i am not from ze subcontinent...i await the "you should be hanafi because your parents are hanafi and you can teach the rest of your family hanafi fiqh"...
yeah...if they would listen to me *rolls eyes*...
i think of myself as the shaykh al-albani type--predecessors hardcore hanafites and as a result...revolt!
so malakite ash'arite i am. hand over the risalah blease.
~
basit said...
you should be hanafi because your parents are hanafi and you can teach the rest of your family hanafi fiqh
but hey
i gots adab
i gots so much adab
i even went to the kulliyatul-aadaab
(balaghah on that extra consonents intensify the meaning. hence the double a's on the aadaab.)
on this risalah deal--yesterday went to a bookstore and asked for it, and they gave me a risalah by someone else which is actually a book of tasawwuf. so i said to myself tasawwuf and maliki fiqh are not the same thing, so thank you kindly i'll keep looking.
