How much have you read?

jazakAllahu khayr for this, ima be doing a presentation on Muslims in Spain so could use it

Al Hamrawi saves the day...again...

What does Al-Hamrawi mean?

BUMP

I wanted to bump this thread for a long time, since Ramadhan, but I'm pretty sure you were all deeply involved in 'Ibaadah so I didn't want to disturb you...

al-Hamrawi doesn't really mean anything, I called myself al-Hamrawi because I love the al-Hamra palace in Andalus (or Alhambra as the westerners call it).

Just like Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi was from Zarqa in Jordan he was called Zarqawi (lit. the one from Zarqa).

Are you feeling alright?

Yes I am....why do you ask?

Cause u were replying to a question posted long ago..

Anyways, I finished reading the book last week. It does a very good job in connecting the past to the present.. alhumdulillah. Very very good book mashAllah.. Muslims should read it..

Tsk tsk you still haven't given me your list of recommended books. You promised you'd get back to me but you forgot! I'm still waiting for that list. Akhi I just looked up "The Ring of the Doves" I haven't read it but it seems to be talking a lot about love I didn't know you were a hopeless romantic (jokes aside) masha'Allah it looks pretty good! I'll defo be reading this one!

Quote :

If I perish of desire
As a martyr I'll expire,
But if thou art kind to me
I'll survive rejoicingly.

Men most worth our confidence
Have informed us in this sense,
Fathers who were true and wise,
Innocent of guile and lies.

The book has many lovely poems,

Recommend more book please!
