Some people play this game on other forums where they make up a story in arabic, like i'll give a sentence in arabic and the next poster carries on the story, i found it to be quite nice, especially since you get a chance to put your arabic to use, which in turn stregthens your arabic.

You can type in arabic text or transliteration if you don't have arabic font support, but just make your transliteration is readable or you can type both arabic and transliteration if you want, and do add the translation as well for those people whose arabic is not so fluent

And if you see any mistakes in mine or anyone elses arabic then feel free to correct it.

I'll start off Insha Allah.

So he said to himself: what is with me and this ingratitude? while Allaah has favoured me above many of His believing servants. so oh Allaah forgive me when i whine.
