Thankyou, Little things do make a difference

Salaamz everyone how are you all , my fave blog people's :)

this post is just a little update about what ive been up to if anything and how little things make a big difference so yeah, reasonfor post is .because i have been kinda ill for the last week and i didnt even manage to go to school and then when i did try to go some teacher got mad that my folder wasnt organised "ohh how dreadful" im sure the world is going to end now, i was too sick to get out of my bed and come to school surely in between being SICK ill organise my folder as if that gets u A's . (ohh how did this turn into a rant), anyways thats an example of how little things can irritate sick people who are trying to learn dont be like that be erm, more understanding?

anyways because i was ill for the week and then one day i miraculously felt better lol, alhamdulilah , i went to school today and had like a practical exam today, alhamdulilah i was there for the preparations before hand and everything and i knew what i was going to do up until i let a supply give me "advice" which ruined my entire thing and i had to start again like 3 times, and then suddenly my eyes hurt the room went hot in my opinion my head hurt i felt faint and screwed up my exam paper thing (had to do a practical and then graphs and crap), i was so out of it that i handed in the worst piece of "work" you can imagine which was meant to be for an exam, and a guy in my class saw it and he was like ":O naz whats this?" and he came over and told me to calm down and helped fix my table and graph and written crap, and i managed to do my exam and not write nonsense and do it perfectly well, and he kinda saved my life and another friend waited for me while i took my time , meanwhile a random supposed friend just left me (im not usually a dumb student who doesnt know what they are doing during exams) i dont even know what happened to me because afterwards i was perfectly fine :S, anyways helping me didnt seem to bother the guy so much and it made such a big difference to my day, exam result life etc :), thatwe should all try to do little things to help people inshallah.

The rest of today went perfectly well it was my cousins birthday and we went shopping and had cake and stuff and like a mini party and everyone else came to visit , also my grandma came back from her forever long holiday, :) so i had a nice time going out in weird snow (its snowing heavily yet theres nothing on the floor, they said itll snow properly over night), catching up with my cuzins and becoming fat eating cakes,then i did an essay question :S, ohh also its my birthday soon and my sisters birthday lol (on the same day) spread the love <3
wish you guys all the best
loads of love

Have You Heard of.. Leila and Majnun

"I pass by these walls, the walls of Layla

And I kiss this wall and that wall
It’s not Love of the houses that has taken my heart
But of the One who dwells in those houses"

The tale tells of Layla and Majnu meeting in school. Majnu fell in love with Layla and was captivated by her. The school master would beat Majnu for paying attention to Layla instead of his school work. But some sort of magic happened. Majnu was beaten but Laila would bleed for his wounds. Word reached their households and their families feuded. Separated at childhood, Layla and Majnu met again in their youth. Layla's brother, Tabrez, would not let Layla shame the family name by marrying Majnu. Tabrez and Majnu quarreled; stricken with madness over Layla, Majnu murdered Tabrez. Word reached the village and Majnu was arrested. He was sentenced to be stoned to death by the villagers. Layla could not bear it and agreed to marry another man if Majnu would be kept safe from harm in exile. Layla got married but her heart longed for Majnu. Hearing this, Layla's husband rode with his men to the desert towards Majnu. He challenged Majnu to the death. It is said that the instant Layla's husband's sword pierced Majnu's heart, Layla collapsed in her home. Layla and Majnu were said to be buried next to each other as her husband and their fathers prayed to their afterlife. Myth has it, Layla and Majnu met again in heaven, where they loved forever.

The Facts

Qays ibn al-Mulawwah ibn Muzahim, was a Bedouin He fell in love with Layla bint Mahdi ibn Sa’d from the same tribe, better known as Layla Al-Aamiriya. He soon began composing poems about his love for her, mentioning her name often. When he asked for her hand in marriage her father refused as this would mean a scandal for Layla according to Arab traditions. Soon after, Layla married another man.

When Qays heard of her marriage, he fled the tribe camp and began wandering the surrounding desert. His family eventually gave up on his return and left food for him in the wilderness. He could sometimes be seen reciting poetry to himself or writing in the sand with a stick.

Layla moved to present-day Iraq with her husband, where she became ill and eventually died. Qays was later found dead in the wilderness in 688 A.D. near an unknown woman’s grave. He had carved three verses of poetry on a rock near the grave, which are the last three verses attributed to him.

this famous story of love originated in Northern Arabia, and went on until Iraq, made its way to persia and India , Turkey,North Africa and even to Somalia, because its a beautiful tale of true love, i think its beautiful because people can learn a simple message from it, like nezami said whatever difficulties you go through if its for love, its allright (i mean any kind of love)

2010 has started off with a very cold,start and with lots of snow causing "disruptions",maybe for the goverment but i dont see anyone else complaining, anyways this means that we sorta get an extra long christmas/New years holiday since this country cant function with so much snow, and therefore schools and stuff are closed because roads are too icy and dangerous meaning Snow Ball fights and Snow men and Women and (the first Muslim Snowman and Snowoman :D) and i have been sitting home eating ice cream next to the radiator and drinking cappucino (you know the homemade ones?) whilst watching the Hills and One Tree Hill and eating biscuits for breakfast and watching the snow amaze me by getting heavier and heavier i MIGHT attempt to go outside later,inshallah

Snow Day-*later*- Went out and visited my best friend , did talked did our nails, watched mean girls and ordered pizza and then went out and played in the snow and took lovely pictures (like lil kids) and went shopping in the snow :S? weird i know and just kept laughing and catching up and then later her dad brought me home and we had so much fun and now everyone at home i watching mean girls so i get to be on the computer? im really excited about my mum coming back tommorrow too and schools will be closed tomorrow too and probably for the rest of the week *huuge smiile* inshallah hope you all brits and europeans are enjoying the snow coz schools closing in scandinavia too :)

Weddings? How would you like yours?

(Random Somali Couple, most somali weddings have the bride in a white wedding dress and she will have her hands and elsewhere decorated with Henna just like the bride above but with maybe less make-up :P)

So anyways Salaamz Everybody

this post is all about weddings, i think weddings are interesting as every culture plus religion etc has different very interesting customs, that i enjoy finding out about, so ill post about Somali weddings and maybe you guys can share info on weddings worldwide, :) (post inspired by something i attended last night)

Party number 1)

In the Typical somali wedding (typical depends on whatever is considered fashionable at the time) there is a islamic Nikaah and the men are like given their own sort of nikah party (that means given money from the groom and loads of food) sometimes people hold the ceremony in homes inviting a sheikh/imaam to do the neccesary ritual stuff , and the women wait in another room until someone tells them when the rituals have been completed then the grooms family hand over the dowry to someone of the brides family and give money to everybody in the place so to all the men, and then one of the men takes some money and gives it to all the women and kids and stuff, then after loads of eating of halwa and traiditional sweets and food they all go away, some families then rent a hotel or a hall and hold a party and some dont.

Party Number 2-Wedding Party

Some people throw their wedding party obviously after their nikaah , this is obviously a big occasion the bride wears a white wedding dress, and then later changes maybe to a dirac a somali thing and then a really traditional thing later a guntiino (looks sorta like a sari but its always red) , they get their hair done and decorate their arms and feet with Henna and the bride will be wearing lots of gold because somalis love gold, the party will be ina hotel decorated and everything food will come from a resturaunt and their is Music, hired people to sing, sometimes weddings are "segregated" theres no men there but the singer is a man and so is the camera man and the groom might be there and some of the brides brothers and stuff so not very segregated so i would cover if your invited to a "segregated" somali wedding. at the wedding theres a traditional thing called "baranbur" done its a fun sort of dance percussion is used and its like someone singing poetry which praises the bride and the groom and their families and stuff and then there is dancing to normal "pop" somali music and "Niiko" (whre you shake your ass youtube it) and depending on where from somalia the brides family are there may be other dances, its normally a lot of fun somali weddings start around 8 everybody turns up at 9 or 10 pm and the wedding ends at around 3 or 4 am the next morning.

Party Number 3

7 days after every wedding there is a tradition mostly from south somalia though everyone else follows it now too, called "todobo" which means seven, you knw seven days after a wedding etc, its basicaly when everyone brings this thing called a "shaash" you use to cover your hair with, because before in somalia they only covered their hair after hey got married, its sorta like a bandana or something but people still bring it for tradition , and the bride is showered with gifts from friends, given gold from the grooms family from her own family from her friends, and people give gifts of money and all the guests who are related to the bride or groom also give money this by the end adds up to thousands they are also given household apliances , duvets bed stuff etc

Last night i went to my Cousins wife's "todobo" and it was amazing there was music and dancing and live band and food and cameras and everything there was dances baranbur niiko and some traiditonal dances for south somaliz and traditional dances and songs for somalis from north, there was the gifts and the gold and money and stuff and this todobo was intresting because there was practiced a tradition for north somaliz which has been sorta changed now, there is absicaly this thing called a heedho and it was like a box and they fill it with gold and money and incense and candles and perfumes and jewelry and evrything they want and give it to the bride and some to the grooms sisters, and the bride last night got 8 of those (lucky her) , and at 3am everyone went home after a lot of fun.

how are weddings where you are from?
