Afterwards, my mom told me that I'm not supposed to eat or put anything in my mouth while I pray. I felt really stupid lol

hehehe.
Well, if it's not a fard prayer, ash-Shafi'i says it's ok to eat and drink.

Wa Allahu A'lam.

hahaha Nafsul-Awwaamah. I actually used to have five kittens at one time. Now THAT .... was insane!

so during ike last year we lost electricity and on one of the nights we were praying isha with minimum lights and most of the doors and windows open... it had to be the most humid night ever and the sheik had to recite for at least 20 mins in the first rakah.... by the time we got up for the second rakah... people were literally dropping sweat off of their faces like they just came out of the shower... everyone was drenched... when the salah ended... everyone was like wooooowww!!! i don't think anyone had any dry clothing left... it was really funny because a lot of us were just staying at the masjid the whole time and were used to it.. but some people were "new" to the experience and were freaking out

Just remembered the funniest night at the masjid ever

So the night that IKE hit houston we decided to stay at the masjid instead of going some where further north or west. There were about 15 people in total that stayed with us there. Probably had about 5 or 6 women staying as well. So it's about midnight and everyone is enjoying themselves in the AC and the internet(yea masjid abu bakr has like t1 internet.. go figure) and then all of a sudden the lights go out. So the AC is gone and the internet is gone and now people are bored and looking for things to do. So I'm in the musalah doing some reading and I hear loud voices coming from the cafateria. I'm just thinking its just guys being guys who are really bored. So about 5 minutes later they are still being really really loud and so i go out there to look. There were about five 40 yr olds that were about to throw down(texan term?) because some people wanted to go outside and "experience" Ike. There was this brother that swore to Allah that if we let him out he would drive to Galveston and "experience" Allah's might. So here I am trying to control this raucous and try not to literally roll on the ground laughing. Then we had this guy self proclaimed expert who was sure that the eye of ike was right outside. He was like this is the eye of the storm and if you open the door we are all done for. So this bro got about 4 people mad at him and those four people wanted to go outside even more. So with a fight about to break out we just let those guys go out. We turned on rotary radio(you know one of those radios you can crank up) and they are like the Ike is still 2 hours off of the coast... and everyone breaks out laughing uncontrolaby because the "expert" had no clue what he was talking about. At the same time the people that went outside came back in... completely drenched and saying "man I wish we never went outside"... which sent us into you know the "omg my stomach hurts and i'm crying from laughter" mode....

hahahah maybe the funniest night of my life

Lol, since we are talking about jokes, and since u`r talkin about names...

I heard from Sh. Idrees Zubair a story that he was telling us:

In a large market, some one started shouting, IBLEES, IBLEES, Come to me! And then when the person was asked, 'why on earth are you calling Iblees'. After finding out that Iblees was infact the name of their daughter, they asked, why would you name your daughter Iblees.

Lol, they replied, Because since her sister was Bilqees, they wanted the name to rhyme! Wow, the ignorance of some ppl! AllahuAkbar

wow.. ive never heard of a person called iblees.. wow.. they could have atleast rhymed wit sumthing else.. subhannallah

[iss ME! zahweee!]

why do people like to rhyme their kids names anyway?
after a while it's hard NOT to get them mixed up as it is.. so rhyming them will only make things worse for you!

and other people like to have their kids names start with the same letter.. i don't get that either.. and i don't know if it's ALL biharis or what but i know a family that only name kids with names that start with A.. uhhhhhhhhhh

Hey...if I ever have a girl it's gonna be YOUsra (goes with Yousuf), inshaAllah...but only because I can't think of many female names I actually like other then that. Then maybe Younis for another boy Of course I wanted Layth for my last son but I lost to Umar. I remember in my dad's old church one of the other ministers had only three kids and he named them: Trinity, Trice and Trixie...for the holy trinity (a'oudhu billah).

Which reminds me of a story. One of my kittens (back in the day) was messing with me while I was praying. [I was wearing the 2 piece salah outfit.] So I went down for rukoo3 and when I was coming back up, I see the cat flying past me. Apparently the top part (hijab) was fluttering alot when I was in rukoo3 and by the time he made his move and attacked, I was getting up and he COMPLETELY MISSED! LOL! I burst out laughing and had to take the cat out of the room before I re-did my salah.

LOL! That is so super cute, masha'Allah. This one should be sent to the Muslims funniest home videos or something, ha ha!
