(especially when this post does not directly argue a case for the halaal/haraam status of music)..<BR/><BR/>time to quit preaching and mud-slinging from within our midst and engage positive and constructive debates such as these in making for better forums in our community. i vistied the al-ansaar souk for the first time ever, and in my opinion is a great community effort.. so any suggestions to sharpen its reach is well worth it. all the best, mj.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34662581.post-91243983459007169752008-01-16T08:39:00.000+02:002008-01-16T08:39:00.000+02:00First off, and i know anyone who attended this yea...First off, and i know anyone who attended this years souk would agree, you made the souk awesome. Your New Year medley thing rocked. Even though not many people clapped (cos perhaps its 'haram' to enjoy yourself), we clapped.<BR/><BR/>My main issue with the souk is, its billed as an Islamic fair, but is more of a shopping fair. There should be more promotion of Islam, and inviting people out of the fold of Islam to visit, and see what the real Islam is about.<BR/><BR/>Also agree with most of your points, especially the funds. In fact I'll go one better and say perhaps the funds should be bought to the forefront, perhaps like the auction thing you had, some of the sponsors and stalls can get together and help out the more deserving funds.<BR/><BR/>Only point I slightly disagree on is the posters you said which is a waste but this ties in with my point of promoting Islam, so I would accept the vigorous promotion campaign but not in Overport where they already know about it, but in the places they probably wouldnt hear about it, and it should be promoted in a less aggressive manner.<BR/><BR/>Also why are there so few mens islamic wear places? I found a small section in the Al Ameens stall, I saw one place with hats but not much else.<BR/><BR/>All in all though, this was a better souk than last year.<BR/><BR/>@ Anon- Remember Allah knows bestWaseemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875893438527568751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34662581.post-40856015576132655872008-01-16T07:22:00.001+02:002008-01-16T07:22:00.001+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.My dartboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603583492413600085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34662581.post-63661374374192983812008-01-16T07:22:00.000+02:002008-01-16T07:22:00.000+02:00commercial events are driven to find the quickest ...commercial events are driven to find the quickest route to success. events like the souk, are not exempt, but in their rush for success they tend to marginalise the very people who help build them. i think it's important to define goals and ambitions clearly so vendors, participating and importantly patrons know what they're supporting.My dartboardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603583492413600085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34662581.post-81233527767284849522008-01-16T00:06:00.000+02:002008-01-16T00:06:00.000+02:00music is haramthere is a difference in FATWA and H...music is haram<BR/>there is a difference in FATWA and HUKUM<BR/>fatwa is what we choose and hukum is Allahs command<BR/>Prophet Muhammed SAW said : MUSIC SOWS THE SEEDS OF HYPOCRISY ...
