60K for a funeral !

Is it normal for Australians to have such an expensive funeral? What is that waste of money for?

Why get engaged?

Two Australian women were talking loudly about their coming engagement party. They felt pressured as they have to spend a lot of money for the wine, etc. Why get engaged when you can get married straight away? What's the big difference between getting engaged and then getting married and getting married straight away?

Democracy?

Is there more to democracy than mere lobbying? It is the rich subtly influencing the poor with all the means that they have.

Al-Awlaki

Who is this guy who came up in the news yesterday? Is he really a Muslim scholar or he is just a normal preacher? To the ignorant Muslims every one who speaks a little bit of Arabic is a scholar. So, beware!

Meat in Non Muslim Countries

Nice article here:

Australia is not a Kitaabiyy country

It is quite clear that Australia is not a country which adheres to the teaching of Christianity or Judaism. It is very much a secular country with about 20 per cent of the population being atheists. Therefore it is only sensible to embrace the fact that meat slaughtered in Australia is generally not halal unless proven otherwise. Fellow Muslim, be wary of the meat that you eat. Are you sure that it is halal or you just don't care?



Note:
Kitaabiyy - Christians and Jews

How come no one told me about these websites?

Every Muslim newcomer to Adelaide should have been informed about these two websites! No one ever mentioned to me about this! This is a must-read for Muslims wanting to live a very basic Islamic life in SA.
