Based on this hadith: <BR/>On the authority of Jaabir who said: "The Prophet said: "Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him not allow his wife to go to the Public baths. Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him not go to the baths except with a waist-cloth. <B> And whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day, let him never sit at a table at which intoxicants are being circulated.</B>" [Al-Haakim, at-Tirmidhee and others: Saheeh]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258.post-1134141443105364622005-12-09T10:17:00.000-05:002005-12-09T10:17:00.000-05:00j' aime les filles de minion, every last one of th...j' aime les filles de minion, every last one of them.

But I think attitudes are changing here. First gen immigrants haven't been exposed to other cultures, but their kids grow up with it. Sometimes I don't know which is bigger, the gap between diff cultures in Toronto, or the generation gap between desi parents and desi kids.<BR/><BR/>ExitOnly: Never read Humayun Ahmed, saw one of his dramas though, so I will take the compliment, thanx! I can understand not celebrating other religion's events (like I wudn't see any point in going to a mass), but office christmas parties are usually office parties.<BR/><BR/>Zainub: It does become a little uncomfortable to deal with drunks (as people become very honest about their <I>feeeeeeeelings</I>), so I leave as soon as I see signs of it. However our company gives free taxi rides home to workers (supposedly drunk). As for food, its Toronto. There's always something on the menu you can eat. Depends on how orthodox you are I guess. Some people 'Bismilliah' the meat, others stick to the Scallion, Sauteed Sea Conch, crab meat, Abalone and <I>fille de minion</I> (make face here).<BR/><BR/>Aisha: Never saw the Office but heard the original British one is better than the American one.<BR/><BR/>Shabina: Fancy party?

I have no time for people whose favorite past times it seems is declaring things haram , shirk, bidat etc. with no authentic proof, but I suppose it's a matter of what people are comfortable with, and what they aren't comfortable with. I wouldn't feel comfortable seeing people get drunk all around me for real, even though I see it happening all the time on telly, in cricket games, so I can imagine how it can be different with Muslims living in a non-Muslim country. On the free food offer, I'm just wondering, there can't be much on the free food menu that a Muslim can eat, can there be? I’m just asking out of curiosity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
