I've missed the dunya to be honest.
Maybe a bit of fitnah is good for this site. And my nafs.
Or maybe it isn't.
Especially when it comes packaged like this little baby here...
Yep, basically my 'hire' car give or take a litre or a half for my trip to London this weekend - the 535d Touring.
The best all-round car in the world?
Blatantly.

Disappointingly disappointed
as cars go, you're right, that has got to be the biggest fitnah ever!
I don't know whether to pray for one or to pray to avoid one!
eurgh.

about the choice of motor, or something else?
Easy old son,
a tuff ride. No harm in enjoying a small piece of the dunya once in a while dear boy. As long as there's balance.
At least you hired it and haven't sold your sole to the credit man as many humans have done.
What did you get out of it when pressed hard?
For anyone suffering from unswerving religiosity, then yes, yes, I'm very shallow aren't I.
D.C.
your inner being, not your feet ;-)
and, yes,yes spelling is a problem for me. Wicked child!

I hope this set of comments are chilled out and beneficial for us all. This blog mashAllah contains some excellent stuff but is sometimes ruined by us going 'un peu fou.' We are getting too personal...let's be nice to one another and have a jolly good day! Don't let the emotions get carried away and just be happy. Agree to disagree. It is all about the middle way dudes!
UmmHusamuddin:
A waste of time, irritating, lame, funny but most of all... REALLY GOOD!!!
JK for a laugh!

I have a quick question, which is totally nothing to do with this issue. There has been a lot of discussion recently with regards to the jilbab. I am still unaware of the ruling on it. Is it obligatory to
mufti muhammad ibn adam has written about the ruling on his website www.daruliftaa.com i think it is the "women" link.
Salams all
Let me educate you about the 535d folks, for as our teacher once told us, all the scholars should have one of these cars...
1. It's very quick.
2. It's very big.
3. It's very safe.
4. It's very reliable.
5. It's very solid.
6. It's very economical.
7. It's very nice.
It does everything you can think of, and so hence you don't need the wife anymore either.
In fact, it is becoming such a fitnah that I'm giving it back before I start planning for one in ten years time.
In fact, forget that - this is such a fitnah that I'm giving it back right now before I get desperate enough to take out an IBB Tawarruq jobby...
Now that is desperate.
;-)
Concerning jilbab then as long as the two conditions are fulfilled then it can take any fashion one wishes, namely:
1. It must be made of thick or opaque material that does not show what is underneath, and it should not cling to the body.
2. It should cover the entire body, and be loose enough so that it does not show the shape.
Different cultures can deal with these conditions in different ways and as long as their combination of hijab, top garment and bottom garment or ideally the above three with an over-garment fulfill the above conditions, then these different variations in dress are allowed insha'Allah.
The reality of course is that people do start to take liberties with the rules, hence designs get more extravagant, patterns become more wild, tops become tighter, sleeves become more open, the neck-line becomes apparent etc. All this pretty much renders invalid the jilbab and the obligation has not been met.
Sisters should be very careful that whatever dress they choose has indeed fulfilled these careful conditions and if not, then stick to the well-known 'classic' jilbab which is the long, baggy overthrow abayah that I of all people, least need to tell other good sisters about.
And Allah knows best.
Dear AE or anyone who knows,
Does the 'Shalwar Kameez' fulfill the requirements you have outlined? Or does it depend on what kind of Shalwar Kameez?
JZK.
Alakha, How can you be "braking" our true traditional values and bigging up a german motor im sure u realise our japanese roots unless the student has turned scholar?? im sure youll agree hats off to the japs for reliability if nothing else?
Assalamaleikum Wa Rahmatulah
IBB Tawarruq - did you have a discussion about this on your 2 week course?
My understanding was that it varied between being called mubah to haram with most saying it was makruh.
Hence the use of the Islamic Finance term of 'Shariah compliant' not 'halal' to mask the disagreement on certain types of contracts that are popularly used.
Discussions revolving around it being haram are it is Iynah if the commodity is sold back to the person who you bought the commodity from (the bank) in the first place.
Makruh because it is a kind of disguised way of obtaining an interest based loan, and you have no intent to use the commodity.
And permissible because the cash value of the commodity you have purchased is a permissible and valid usage of the commodity.
A summary of the various opinions on it being here:http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ds=qa&QR=45042&ln=eng
And Mahmud al-Gamal comments:
...this practice is called Tawarruq (literally, monetization – of the stapler in this example). Abu Hanifa contemplated this contract as a variation on the previous one, with a third party serving as ntermediary (muhallil). While he forbade the simple `inah (without a third party), he was more accommodative of Tawarruq. Most jurists considered Tawarruq invalid, defective or reprehensible.
However, there were two reports on ibn Hanbal’s opinion on this contract, thus allowing a faction of the Hanbali school to approve the contract, which is quickly
replacing Murabaha as the favorite mode of financing in the GCC

Hopefully a discussion on this will be less emotionally charged than the explicit hadith language conversation - and you will not have to make good on your intention to being force to cause the bahth [being] restricted to those closed forums that it's been doing the rounds in for ages anyway and we miss[ing] out on extra benefits and insights of other people who might not have access to such forums.

Datsun Pick-up truck withblacked out windows all the way!
dear brother Fulaan
seeing as you are quite an active participant in these discussions, can we have a name behind the veil like the other students, so that we readers can have some kind of context?

just go with the desi choice guys: the toyota carina - u can't go wrong!
And talking about cookies, Tesco's do some quality plain and chocolate cookies; we go through loads of them at every team meeting we have at work :)
"It does everything you can think of, and so hence you don't need the wife anymore either."
Anyone want to try and give a commentary to this statement of Abu Easa?
Yeah definitely, bro.
First thing I thought of when I saw that car posted earlier was Shaikh Suhayb.
He used to have one of them for donkey years.
What a man Maasha'allah!
Why does everyone have beef with someone wanting to remain anonymous? Does it really matter who is behind there? Esp if someone is criticising AE, and AE doesn't know the person, then is it not safer that the person remain anonymous, lest AE feel the slightest of ill feeling towards the individual shold they meet?
And Fulan ibn Fulan is the only one who posts under this name, so even is his name were Dave or Manmohan, would it really make a difference? I'm not saying this solely in reply to Anon 5.52pm but some ppl seem to have beef with wanting to remain anonymous.
fair enough...dear anonymous
just go with the desi choice guys: the toyota carina - u can't go wrong!
Oh sooo true !!
Since the topic's been raised, how about this:
Suzuki GSXR-1000
with a 0-60 time of only 2.8-3s
Or if you're bore exotically inclined:
Ducati 999
Until you've ridden a bike, you've got no idea what acceleration means.
As for those "disappointed", there are a number of companions who had an interest in horses, no? And even some forms of racing. As people have said before, moderation.
what the heck..
I say go for it - enjoy some dunya.
Why not go the extra 10 yds..
And throw in a favourite CD and crank up the decibels, sitback and really enjoy LOL
As-Salaamu 'alaikum,
Today I had a Merc C-class to drive from Walton on Thames up to Knutsford in Cheshire, and an older one to bring back. It had quite a few weird features - like a cruise control, but without anywhere to rest one's right foot while using it. Both cars were well-upholstered and had enough buttons and must have been very comfortable for the passengers, but certainly wasn't for me. Why do people pay tens of thousands for these things? Did your BMW have such obvious design faults?
I have to agree with you Abu Eesa about BMW cars.
When I drove my brother's 3 series back in 2001, it changed my whole perception of cars.
I have driven Mercedes and Audis and the BMW is the "ultimate driving machine" in its handling and pace (u need to get one of the six cylinder engines i believe to appreaciate the power).
Driving a BMW take the chore aspect away of travel, it really is an enjoyable experience. Not to mention the quality of controls inside the car, they feel very tactile indeed.
Altogether this leads to a satisfying driving experience. For me driving has never been the same since I first drove one! ;-)
Also we should remember that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said that a man likes that he has a righteous wife, a spacious home and a good riding beast and he didnt criticise any of these things so can we not say that having a good car is one of the blessings and favours of this life as long as it does not go to excess?
