Holidays - December 2007

Your christmas has its origins in northern European countries where they celebrated a festival at the "christmas" time long before the arrival of Christianity. It was the celebration of the winter solstice. The emperor Constantine hijacked youle i.e. the winter solstice and invented christmas to encourage a common religious festival between Pagans and Christians. It's easier to convert people If they have something in common.




Easter has nothing to do with Jesus or the Bible either. Is was also a pagan festival, a fertility festival for the saxon Goddess Eostre or Ostara, who symbolized new life. The festival involved virgin sacrifices and orgies. Have you ever wondered what eggs and bunnies could have to do.

I know this is the generic question or whatever, but I would love some help.
I do not know what to give my boyfriend this Christmas. We've been dating for about two months now.

He's a 19 year old freshman in college. He's double majoring in electrical engineering and computer science.
He's kind of geeky/dorky; he's really into computers & the Internet, Guitar Hero, Rockband, video games in general, WoW (World of Warcraft), the website Woot!.com, rock music, etc. (Typical "geeky/dorky" things).

I am kind of on a tight budget. The less money, the better.

I'm open to any suggestions! :]
Thanks in advance.

Does one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it.

Holy Quran

He who slanders has sinned in every instance. Slander is when you mention something about a person which is not a fault in's eye Gods, or when you censure what the people of knowledge praise.

As for discussing someone who is not present with regard to something which Allah censures, when that person is guilty of it, then this does not amount to slander, even if he dislikes it when he hears it; and you are free of any slight of that person. This is in order to make the truth clear from the false by the clarification of Allah and His Messenger. However, this has a precondition, in that the person who says it must seek only to clarify what is true and false, in the faith of Allah. If he means to deprecate the person of whom he talks without meaning to make things clear, then he is taken to task for his corrupt goal, even if he is correct in what he says.

If you really slander someone, then seek pardon from that person. If you do not go that far nor reach that point, then ask Allah's forgiveness for that. Slander eats up good deeds as fire eats up wood. As Allah revealed to Moses, 'The slanderer will be the last to enter the Garden, if he repents. If he does not repent, then he will be the first to enter the Fire.

The various aspects of slander occur when you mention a fault in someone's character, intellect, action, behaviour, belief, ignorance and so on.

The origin of slander may be one of ten types: venting one's anger, pleasing other people, suspicion, believing a report without investigating it, having a bad opinion, envy, mockery, astonishment at some action in another which one does not comprehend, dissatisfaction or impatience with others, and embellishment of oneself at the expense of others.

If you seek Islam, then remember the Creator and not the created; then the circumstances of slander will be a lesson for you, and a wrong action will be replaced by a reward.

She is a cafeteria worker and is a down to earth type of gal.

she's in her 40's has a husband and almost grown children.
when asked what she would like for christmas, she said Lottery Tickets.
I don't think that is a good gift, at least not from me, I bought her a candle but I like them and not sure she would. I have not decided whether or not I'll give it to her.
If you have any ideas of what would be a good gift, instead of the tickets, let me know please.
Thank you !
