Peace be upon Prophet Muhammad. As-Salaamu 'alaykum bro and sis. Jazaak Allaah for the pointers and reminders. I had forgotten about the wudu thing and took no offense. Also, I appreciate the link and the info about suhba.org.<BR/>Umm Layth,<BR/>Inshaa'Allaah you are all doing better. Checked out the first shafi'i lesson! Also, I really love that got shafi'i thing, it looks so cool. Maybe you could do the same for "shadhili: you Nuh you love it" or "dhikr:you know you need it". silly silly and I'm still up...almost Fajr time, I did fall asleep around 9pm though, he he!Umm Muhammadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12785803431630087059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013791535407445419.post-13926768978160433472008-05-16T22:58:00.000-04:002008-05-16T22:58:00.000-04:00as salamu 'alaykum<BR/><BR/>Hey, have you read the articles by Shaykh Nuh on the suhba.org website under articles? I'm talking like about the adab of Islam and adab of the sunna, etc. Those are some articles that when I read really put everything I want to fix in my character into perspective.Umm Laythhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01029746353336269459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013791535407445419.post-59125227521463269252008-05-16T05:32:00.000-04:002008-05-16T05:32:00.000-04:00<I>Wa 'alaykumu as-salam wa rahmatullah</I>,<BR/><BR/>Well after posting my comment, I felt maybe that I shouldn't have mentioned the point about staying in wudu' since it seemed overly obvious. I then wondered if your list might consist of only NEW things that you want to put into practice, not more basic ones that you already are...so I apologize if it came across in an offensive manner.<BR/><BR/>As far as the name of my blog, what you've mentioned is essentially the reason behind the name. Additionally, I wanted to make it clear that I'm just a "mere Muslim" and not a scholar.

Peace be upon Prophet Muhammad. As-Salaamu 'alaykum, brother. Shukran and jazaak Allaah for your encouragement, advice and dua. Thanks for the reminder about wudu...I first learned how truly special it is to keep on it at my first suhba with Sh. Nuh this past January. It was a basic requirement for the murids who were able to do this.<BR/>Question: Why is it called mere islam? Are you suggesting an Islam untainted by false additions and ideologies, traditional Islam?Umm Muhammadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12785803431630087059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8013791535407445419.post-48953594026327903732008-05-15T09:30:00.000-04:002008-05-15T09:30:00.000-04:00As-salamu 'alaykum,<BR/><BR/>This is a beneficial list and I found some things on it that I need to add to a similar list that I keep for myself.<BR/><BR/>My only advice would be to take care to not overwhelm yourself, so you might try to work some of the more demanding tasks on the list into your life one at a time over time.<BR/><BR/>Off the top of my head, you might want to add "Make wudu' immediately upon losing it" (or simply "Stay in a state of wudu' as much as reasonably possible").<BR/><BR/>I pray that Allah gives you tawfiq to keep up the good work! <BR/><BR/>Wasalam,<BR/><BR/>Abdurrahman R.
