"If I worship You in fear of hell, burn me in it,
And if I worship You in hope of paradise, exclude me from it,
But if I worship You for Your own being, don't withhold from me your everlasting beauty."
'' I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed '' .......:)
This the a great site for books:
Two day back after work, i checked my mobile to find many missed calls from Algeria. Yesterday, i called home and my anut picked the phone.....I asked her:
Muti: Can i speak with a girl named xxxxx(my sister)
Anut: ok....wait...
Musti:.....laughed and then she realized who i am but before she didn't.
Then i spoke with and asked her to pass me my mom, but, before she did i told her i have changed my plan.
Mom: what did you told her(anut).
Muti: Oh, i am not coming anymore.....
Mom: by God...tell me you're just kidding!
Musti: The college said it's expensive to send me home and to the state.
GM in the background( hemmmmm, you throw the child of Btaila and find something to put under you hand), she told my mom.
and then i told my that i just kidding!!
I lied but only for fun!!!!
My GM didn't want me to go far from her, she takes me as her own child or even more.
Today i been to a trip with Kip, Baulina and Ali. At the very first somehow the subject of poligmy has arises. I asked the question: ''Kip, do you have a solution for the surpuls of women in the U.S.A and everywhere, other than the one that poligamy?'' i asked. He was honset and said no, people will find their way out.
Somehow, Ali interuptted us and said:'' Not only because you dick is feeling hard you can have a second wife!''. I am buzzled and didn't know what to say; never expected such saying from a well-educated person. But, it seems that everything is laright here in these socilities and i have to accept it all as its.
Once again the question arises, but this time about sodomites. Then, Ali said, when you go to NC go to gays and tell them you're sodomites. Ali seems he has some new thoughts or i would say something special as if he become an atheist!
I had a nice discussion with Kip about his faith and the concept of God. He said that he doesn't believe in God, acually that was something new to me. However, i started by saying how can you say i don't believe in God at time when you done't God? I asked what is your concept of God? He gave me no staight answer, therefore, i start quoting the Holy Quran chapter 112 and i read to him the touche stone of theology from that little chapter.
I said and candidate fits this cratiria th muslims are prepared to accept him as God, and i read'' Say he is God, the one and only, the absolute and enternal. he begt not, nor he is beggten and there is nothing like unto him'' he laughted and said sodomites fits only one of the five critiria of this coutche stone of yours. However, he said i ''don't beieve in God'' and i iteruptted him and said ''If i say this a pen, you wouldn't say that is not a pen if you didn't know the meaning of pen, similary you can't say i don't believe in God without knowing what is God. I said i congratulate you for saing there is no gods becasue that is the first part of the Islamic creed and i need to convince you about no gods but Allah. Now it's up to you, the definition of God is with you and you can tell me the name of any candidate that fits the most, i believe that it was too much for him.
Another occasian, i stated to quote the the Bibal and told him that gays and lesbian are a punchment from God according to the (Holy Bible, Romans 1:22-28), Ist? he asked.
I told him that the Muslims believe in Jesus Miraclous bith, that he is the Messaia(Christ), and many of the miracles he did by God's leave/permision, it was too nobel for him and he said i thought you believe that he is an imposter! He is not God, but a good guy! he said, I told him that if quoted me the Bible said i am God or worship me that i am ready to accept him as God, he wouldn't have made such statement! he said. So, we are not so different after all i said. Why, then not the Muslimand Chrisstian come togather? Kip asked me. I told him that the Christian unfortunatly don't follow the teaching of Jesus(PBUH) but the teaching all St.Paul. Paul was the real founder of Christianity! he said. However Kip posed the question, are you a Christian? i paused for quite long and rlpied and said unto him:'' Kip! I am not a christian if it means the followers of Christ, however i am a Muslim who follow the teaching Abrehim, Mosses and Jesus(peace be upon the all) because all those mighty prophets submitted their will to God and that is Islam and i reminded him of how Jesus(PBUH) prayed last night on the moutain of Oliv and that he submitted his will to God, when he asked God for help but not accoring to his will but the will of God. Kip was pleasenetly surprised and he said you know too much but i don't believe in God! what is your concept of God? i asked, he replied: ''Something that many people believe in''. people believe in Death and life does that means that Death and ife are Gods? i asked but no answer.
from that we went to What Jesus(PBUH) was doudling/writing on the ground when some Jews came with a women and claimed that she was found in the act. Actually i just told him what is in the Video attached.
This experience of lake sampling was just wonderful and amazing to me, beside what Ali said which pis me of.
Nothing to do beside reading books and i am extremly tired so i am gonna spleen soon and tomorrw see what i can do.
I wanna by a PC, but it seem hard for me, becasue i haven't got the VISA so i can ask Hao Ran to bring me one from China, otherwise i will buy ine in Algeria or not important if there is no US. Istead of PC i will buy a camel and wait for Faeez or other to be slied for them:P
Here is Deedat's Theory which i discussed with Kip today.
Respect and Love.
Musti.( Praise be to Allah(SWT))
Because my facebook is no space where i can put my loved quotes i will save them and revise them later.
''search the truth and the truth shall free you'' ''Jesus''(PBUH) (I:'' Shasanka you're short sighted?'' Chris:'' You're the blind becasue you're circumcised'') ''Mr. X to Shasanka: My naime is Mr. X and i was admitted at Prinction; do you mind doing some self-intro? Shasanka: you're not a girl, get lost!'' ''Mohamed I can compensate my B to you for 1 n....'' Shasanka. ''Go by plane and come back by train, so, we experience both'' Shasa. ''You are full of beans'' Angie Life without a friend is death without a witness Outdoors situation encourage us to share ourselves and our resources: ''This cultural sharing was made all the more special by our location. It is such simple but rich experiences that provide the most memorable reminders of common humanity.'' From IBWorls magazine By Alistar. '' He is a D.D, I am a Deedat'' Ahmed Deedat ''If it is no longer fit for home consumption, then it is still good for experts'' Deedat. Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson rightly says, ’People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMED (pbuh) was born’ . ''Much of human life is wasted in waiting'' From a movie. ''No excuses now man. Straight to study! Maybe you are a bit homesick according to what you said. No worries man! If I have time, I may update you'' Shas1 '' Im your friend Didi you think of mi o no?'' Didi '' Are you saying that i should cover my head otherwise you will love me too?'' D '' Keep your self bussy, so, you won't think of unnecessaru things'' Shas1 ''Never look too far, for you sight is too short my child'' GM ''It seems that God has putted us in lab to experiement his expiriement and to see people fighting'' T(R) ''Smile and try to be happy and always walk only on the lines that only God can Read and bear in mind that, there is no greater happiness than making the Lord our God happy about every action and any every word we utture...'' Mahjuba. ''One day your mind will danage you!'' Didi ''Its sad that u/i read our scriptures in our own mother tongue, but, we are trained to understand exactly opposite of what we read. Unless we sacrify our pride and open sharp eyes for the truth, the Devil won't fail in decieing us'' ''The best single ingriedent in the formula of sucsses in knowing how to get along with friends.'' S-one Haixia: '' Mustapha is good at socializing. he has talent in learning chinese. But a bit less active than others........''(hem, is that right?). ''It is rightly said that that which comes from the brain (intellectually) tickles the brain, but that which comes from the heart and soul of a man, will move the heart'' "IF A BOOK COME FROM THE HEART. IT WILL CONTRIVE TO REACH OTHER HEARTS; ALL ART AND AUTHORCRAFT ARE SMALL AMOUNT TO THAT. ONE WOULD SAY THE PRIMARY CHARACTER OF THE KORAN IS THIS OF ITS GENUINENESS, OF ITS BEING A BONA-FIDE BOOK." |
fter my trip to Sweden, i came here to work. So far three days went well i believe. Sellery is very good as well. I am trying ot work at least five hours a day and of course i will try to work every day, so, i can make the most of it; always full of beans.
After i arrived i startd reading some card and the yearbook plus record of progress and i decided to upload what so every reflect what i might gogue.
Ali Math teacher: '' ...........He still has an unfortunate tedency to branch out and invastigate his own solutions, based on partially remembered work done prior to arriving at the college, but provided he can keep these urges at bay he could do surprisingly well in the exam..........''.
Angie English teacher: ''......He has a very long way with a positive, eager attitude which is second to none! this year his fluency has increased significantly............Always full of beans and eager to practice new idioms he has come across, Mustapha has been a simply wonderful, hugely appreciated member of our small group.''
Jele Bio teacher: ''...........Too many words new words and concepts thrown at him in each class was not easy to absorb and keep in mind in an orgnized fashion...............Mustapha has been a very sweet and engaged student, who often volunteerely help..............I appraciate his knoweldge of religion.....go well and have a happy future dear Mutsi.''
Big D D.S teacher: ''......reflected his understanding of the concept-rich subject...''
Pete Ballgame: '' Mustaphan can't miss his Friday football and is keen member of the ball game activity.''
Haixia: '' Mustapha is good at socializing. he has talent in learning chinese. But a bit less active than others........''
The is much more cooming soon.....
Musti.....always here and i know you that you are always with me Lord. Lord guide your people to the write path and don't let them go astary.
Again in Sweden, but this time Christoffer is with us. Indeed we are having a great time here, he is taking a good care of us. Only tomorrow left for us here in Sweden. I am waiting for MU to reply and say that they have paid for the VISA fees, otherwise it will be a great difficulty i face!!. Things are really cool the college (RCNUWC) is paying for my tickets to the state. I will be staying with Shasanka and Shanoz, Shasanka's mum aske him to take me with him otherwise he can't stay alone with Shanoz, this a typical cool family who caries about their child.
I am sure that i am pure and i will be able to survive in NC with my afroamerican family. Life will be stressing and unpleasant but we have to face it. I hope i can preserve my great love forever, but, i feel it's kind of hard to do so at a time when you don't have any big hope!!.
I was watching this Deedat, today he came with new riddles.
This is true story:
C-missionary: You have no excuse i am ready to debate you in your mother tongue.
Mola: all right, i accept the challenge
C-missionar: You start the debate
Molana: no, you are my older brother( Christianity was before Islam) and you are a guest so you start.
C-missionary: whne is Muhammad now?
Molana: in heaven with God.
C-missionary: When was Your prophet Muhammad when his grandson Husain was killed.
MOlana: in Heaven.
C-missionary: why didn't he ask God to help him( Molana got puzzled and took a long pause, the C-missionary start saying tell us come on tell us).
Molana: after a very long, C-missionary: what did God says?
Molana: GOd criend!
C-missionary: whad did he say??
Molana: he cried and said, i couldn't save my own Son, so how can save your grandson oh! Muhammad and the debate was over.
This how to deal with some certain sickness .
Another one is coming soon. And all this is because of you of Loving God!
Your promise should come fact!
Finally the IB is gone. I was Baptized and hopefully i will sin no more with the IB. Graduation is over by now, I did go; knowing that i would not enjoy it! I had to take that decision although many friends will be disappointed, they have no clue about how depressed i am nor did they know what is going in my head!. It's over, and i have to face the goodbyes!
Tomorrow is another day, Lord i have entire believe in your promise and i will never get brainwashed of any kind of false intention !
It is ok man, ''easy come easy go''
Just a few hours a ago, i came cross a very important decision which may will take my future to a totally different direction!
Lord!, thought are being and still considered variable. If what i have in my heart happened, then recalculation of future plan must be done. Give me strength in those harsh days oh lord!!
Lead me straight and through the path that you have planned and for which comes your reword to your righteous people.
Glory be to You oh God!, the best to create.
Shasanka sent me this article and i have read it. I seems very natural and realistic to me and that is how is life; we all have some thought on how we want our lives to be and when to start.
Singapore succeeds at managing everything - except dating

SINGAPORE: It was like a college mixer, a classroom full of young men and women seeking a recipe for romance.
They had assembled for the first class of "Love Relations for Life: A Journey of Romance, Love and Sexuality."
There was giggling and banter among the students, but that was all part of the course material as their teacher, Suki Tong, led them into the basics of dating, falling in love and staying together.
The course, which is in its second year at two polytechnic institutes, is the latest of many, mostly futile, campaigns by the government to get its citizens to mate and multiply. Its popularity last year has led to talk of expansion through the higher education system.
"We want to tell students: Don't wait until you have built up your career," Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, minister of state for community development, youth and sports, said at a news conference last month. "Sometimes, it is too late, especially for girls."
Today in Asia - Pacific
The courses are an extension of government matchmaking programs that try to address the twin challenges embodied in a falling birthrate: Too few people are having babies and too few of those who are belong to what Singapore considers the genetically desirable educated elite.
For 25 years, the mating rituals organized by the government - tea dances, wine tasting, cooking classes, cruises, screenings of romantic movies - have been among the country's least-successful social engineering programs.
Last year Singapore's fertility rate fell to a record low of 1.24 children per woman of childbearing age, one of the lowest in the world and the 28th year in a row it has stayed below the rate of 2.5 children needed to maintain the population.
But even a replacement-level rate would not be enough for today's planners. The government recently announced that it was aiming to increase the population by 40 percent over the next half century, to 6.5 million from the current 4.5 million.
"Teaching our youth in school how to fall in love" is a good solution, wrote Andy Ho, a senior writer at The Straits Times, a government-friendly newspaper that does its best to help out in Singapore's many campaigns.
In 1991, for example, when the government began offering cash bonuses to couples with more than two children, the newspaper printed tips for having sex in the back seat of a car, including directions to some of the "darkest, most secluded and most romantic spots" for parking.
It suggested covering the windows with newspapers for privacy.
Singapore is a topiary nation, constantly trimming and pruning itself into shapes that it believes improve on nature.
As the modern world weakens traditional family ties, for example, families are given financial incentives to care for their elderly parents - or taken to court for neglecting them.
Singapore is known for its campaigns to get residents to be polite, to smile, to be tidy, to speak proper English and not to chew gum.
In 1984, the country's master planner, then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, declared that too few of the country's most eligible women - the ones with college degrees - were marrying and having children.
He set up the Social Development Unit to address the problem and since then the government has been Singapore's principal matchmaker.
In addition to its tea dances and moonlight cruises, the agency also acts as a lonely hearts adviser, with an online counselor named Dr. Love and a menu of boy-meets-girl suggestions on its Web site, www.lovebyte.org.sg.
"Guys, girls notice everything!" the Web site offers in one of its dating tips. "Comb your hair differently and they notice. Change your watch and they notice! Skipped your morning shower and sprayed on deodorant to cover the smell - they notice! What does this mean? Well, bathe regularly, change something about yourself, be observant and compliment the lady."
Lee himself acknowledged how silly some of this may seem.
"Never mind the hullabaloo in the press - all the foreign correspondents writing that a crackpot government is trying to interfere in people's lives," he said when he inaugurated the Social Development Unit.
"If we continue to reproduce ourselves in this lopsided way we will be unable to maintain our present standards," he said.
In other words, said Annie Chan, director of a matchmaking agency, "Our government wants smart ladies to meet smart guys to get smart children."
But in Singapore it is impossible to get very far from thoughts of money and the workplace. These guys may have other things on their minds besides romance and babies.
"Some people say if you're a smart guy you should marry a smart woman who can help you with your finances and career," said Chan, whose agency is called Club2040 and who has worked under contract for the Social Development Unit.
Singaporeans quite seriously describe their society as being driven by a local concept called "kiasu," a desire not so much to get ahead as, rather, not to lose out. That concept might be applied, for example, to a person who pushes ahead of everybody else to get into an elevator.
This single-mindedness, in life as in elevators, seems to leave little room for social graces or for romance or procreation. "The E.Q. here can be appalling," said Chan, referring to an "emotional quotient" of social skills.
But even while working on the solution, Chan seems to be part of the problem. She is 39 and has been married for four years, but said she does not have the time or energy to have children.
"Me and my husband are both busy now running our own businesses," she said. "When he's back home he's tired out, and I bring home work to do. At the end of the day, business does interfere."
It is a lot to ask of a college course to break attitudes like this. Three 20-year-old graduates from last year's inaugural course at Singapore Polytechnic still seemed imbued more with "kiasu" than romance.
Despite everything their teachers had told them about multitasking work and love, none was in a relationship. And nothing they had heard in class seemed to have dented their stereotypes about the opposite sex.
"I'm not open to relationships in school," said Wei Shan Koh, a former student who works as a teacher's aide. "Boys in school are not my cup of tea. They are male chauvinist pigs. They're annoying and childish. And they won't give in to you. They're just not mature."
Another former student, Tian Xi Tang, was quick to respond.
"I think girls' ideas are a bit childish, or you might say girlie," said Tian, who hopes to become an engineer. "It's a matter of pride. Guys are more outspoken. We don't like a girl to be more outspoken."
Kamal Prakash, who hopes to be a lecturer in mathematics, gave voice to what appears to be the common theme here, both among young people and their elders.
"I am not interested now in love relations because I want to continue my studies," he said. "If I concentrate on love relations, I won't be able to concentrate on my studies."
