    Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim: The Prophet said, "Protect yourself from the Fire." He then turned his face aside (as if he were looking at it) and said again, "Protect yourself from the Fire," and then turned his face aside (as if he were looking at it), and he said so for the third time till we thought he was looking at it. He then said, "Protect yourselves from the Fire, even if with one half of a date and he who hasn't got even this, (should do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.'



    Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights."Source URL: http://pukitattoo.blogspot.com/2010/01/

Museum of Islamic Art (Qatar)

Labels:

, ,
    This weekend, I took my dad along to the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) located in Doha, Qatar. It opened in December 2008 and has since been a great success. The islamic art collection is exquisite with art from all around the world dating between 7th and19th century. This institution was designed with a visionary of the Emir wanting Qatar to be a capital of culture; the building in deed has further instated his vision.





    The design of the building itself was designed by the famous architect, Mr. Pei, after taking his inspiration from visiting various islamic monuments in arab countries. I am always so taken away when entering this building with its glittering ambience and lighting. The building resides on Doha's famous corniche, emersed in water, with beautiful large glass windows that make you feel you standing on water. There are number of outdoor terraces, sitting places and a beautiful gift/memoir shop and ofcourse amazing art collections and exhibitions.

Best Airports in the world, 2009

Labels:

,
    Every year, sleepinginairports (http://www.sleepinginairports.net/bestof.htm)  does a review of airports to determine the best and worse airports. Here are the chart toppers for 2009:




    1. Singapore
    2. Seoul Incheon
    3  Hong Kong
    4. Amstedam Schipol
    5. Dubai

    6. Munich

    7. Kuala Lumpur

    8. Frankfurt Main

    9. Zurich

    10. Copenhagen

    I am really excited to see Dubai and Kuala Lumpur (KL) on the list. I love both these airports. They are, in my opinion, very beautifully designed and welcoming after a long flight. Dubai specifically has spent alot of money on the interior decor - I just love it.

    There are adequate seats and shopping outlets as well as WIFI to keep you busy. In the only criticism for Dubai International, it would be nice to see them work on an internal transport system as the airport stretches out quiet far in length. It can take you anywhere between 15-30 minutes walking to get to the other end. I have seen little buggies riding around but in my opinion, far too few and seems more reserved for the elder generation.:)  

    KL on the other hand has an efficient transport relay system between the gates and the airport. All operated by a train system and even an external train system that takes you into the city (as an option, available on exit only ofcourse:)). Only criticism of this airport, is you have to becareful for cheats who try to taxi you or sell you cellphone cards at higher prices (at the airport itself). Other than that, loved it:)
    Mental note: Visit Hong Kong and Singapore soon:) 
    I was rather delighted to see that even though Johannesburg International (OR Tambo) did not make the top 10, it certainly ranked up as No.1 best airport in Africa. Well done OR; it seems all the money going into the improvement of the airport for 2010 has paid off however I have to say OR still has a long way to go. Critically, getting off international carriers that are not South African Airways means you get off further away from passport control/exit and have to walk a marathon (with uphills even) which is a disaster. Airports are meant to be easily accessible - after a long trip you really tired and dont want to have to walk a far distance to get out of the airport. Again, like Dubai's departures, OR needs to look at more efficient transport logistics on its arrivals even though they have tried to accommodate with travelators (flat escalators). Commendably on my last two trips to SA, I noticed Passport control got a face lift and moved up a little closer however the walk between passport control and exit seemed to have grown...I hope by June 2010, we will see a difference. To its advantage however, it has really cool interior decorating...Take a look at these photos

the latest fashion trend of Anarkali Suits, Anarkali Design Patterns

Labels:
    Anarkali suits, the latest fashion trend to emerge in the market for traditional Indian attire, are today seen making their presence felt everywhere, right from wedding parties to jagrans to everyday wear. Madhubala in the song ‘Pyar kiya to darna kya’ from ‘Mughal-e-Azam’ or Madhuri in the song ‘Aaja Nachle’ from the movie ‘Aaja Nachle’ wore the same Anarkali dress or Anarkali suit. Anarkali suits are worn with churidars and the footwear usually comprises of Punjabi juttis. As far as the kameez is concerned, it is figure-hugging till the upper torso and below that, it turns into a frock and gets a lot of flare.









    Anarkali suits usually come in flowing materials like chiffons. Formal Occasions The Anarkali suits worn on formal occasions somewhat differ from those worn in everyday life. In case of formal suits, the shirt (kameez) is heavily embellished. The work done on the shirts includes use of sequins, embroideries, embellishments and wide borders. Sometimes, zardozi work is also done on the Anarkali suits. Materials like crepes, georgettes, silks and brocades are used to make such suits.

Weekly Hadith

    It's rather displeasing, and face reddenning, to read Islamic slander or come across blogs like this one: http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/?s=islam

    I am always so attempted to reply but often don't because of this hadith:Narrated 'Aisha: A man asked permission to enter upon Allah's Apostle. The Prophet said, "Admit him. What an evil brother of his people or a son of his people." But when the man entered, the Prophet spoke to him in a very polite manner. (And when that person left) I said, "O Allah's Apostle! You had said what you had said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner?" The Prophet said, "O 'Aisha! The worst people are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression." Muslim/Bukhari
