My Cyber HighSchool Rocks!?!?!
The GreatSchools/BusinessWeek Five Top-Performing High Schools initiative is based on both academic performance and parent opinion. GreatSchools identified the Top Academic Performance (overall and low-income) and Most Improved schools by analyzing publicly available school test information. GreatSchools also highlighted the Parents' Choice for both public and private schools by analyzing the Parent Ratings and Reviews on its Web site and selecting schools with the highest average parent rating that also had at least 10 parent reviews.

Virtues of Surahtal Baqarah & Surah Aali `Imraan
He kept silent for a while and then said,"(Learn Surat Al-Baqarah and Al `Imran because they are two lights and they shade their people on the Day of Resurrection, just as two clouds, two spaces of shade or two lines of (flying) birds. The Qur'an will meet its companion in the shape of a pale-faced man on the Day of Resurrection when his grave is opened. The Qur'an will ask him, 'Do you know me' The man will say, 'I do not know you.' The Qur'an will say, 'I am your companion, the Qur'an, which has brought you thirst during the heat and made you stay up during the night. Every merchant has his certain trade. But, this Day, you are behind all types of trade.' Kingship will then be given to him in his right hand, eternal life in his left hand and the crown of grace will be placed on his head. His parents will also be granted two garments that the people of this life could never afford. They will say, 'Why were we granted these garments' It will be said, 'Because your son was carrying the Qur'an.' It will be said (to the reader of the Qur'an), 'Read and ascend through the levels of Paradise.' He will go on ascending as long as he recites, whether reciting slowly or quickly.)''
Kuwaitian Towers (My Drawing)
Ok, So one day, My friend and I had made an agreement to draw the Kuwaitian towers to see who could draw them better. She wound up dropping out of the competition because I took too long to draw mine. As you can see i have very small flowers along the bottom, and that is what took the longest. I like to draw sometimes, but I rarely do because I run out of ideas of what to draw. I have a grandfather who is an artist and he gives artshows. Too bad I don't have contact with him because I'd like to go to his art shows and also so he could see a few of my drawings. Maybe someday.

Deutschland...Germany!
I've always been a big fan of Germany! Not because my older twin brothers are from there, but I've just always been fascinated. I've heard so many good things about the country. I know people that lived there, and they said it was like the most clean place to live ever! I was so amazed that I took up the German language the first 3 years of high school. No one in my area speaks German and I'm the only one out of my friends that have a high interest in it. I would also like to learn more about the muslim communities that are rapidly growing through-out. Learning the language was very fun! Memorizing the vocab was a breeze & it also was very easy for me to pronounce. Just last night I was online looking at the hotels that are there. Talk about BEAU TI FUL! I could go on & on, but to sum it all up. ICH LIEBE DEUTCHLAND!

Why Du'aat are not answered???
Al-Qurtubi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
It was said to Ibraaheem ibn Adham: Why is it that we supplicate and receive no response?
He said because you know Allaah but you do not obey Him, and you know the Messenger but you do not follow his Sunnah, and you know the Qur’aan but you do not act in accordance with it, and you eat from the blessings of Allaah but you do not give thanks for them, and you know Paradise but you do not seek it, and you know Hell but you do not flee from it, and you know the shaytaan but you do not fight him rather you agree with him, and you know death but you do not prepare for it, and you have buried the dead but you do not learn a lesson from that, and you ignore your own faults and are preoccupied with other people’s faults.
Tafseer al-Qurtubi (2/312).
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It was narrated that ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: By avoiding that which Allaah has forbidden, Allaah will accept du’aa’ and tasbeeh. And it was narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The amount of du’aa’ with righteousness that is sufficient is like the amount of salt that is sufficient with food.” And Muhammad ibn Waasi’ said: A little du’aa’ is sufficient with piety.
One of the salaf said: Do not expect a response when you have blocked the way with sins. One of the poets also commented on this by saying:
We call upon Allaah for every hardship, then we forget Him when the hardship is relieved.
How can we hope for an answer to our du’aa’s, when we have blocked its way with sins?
Jaami’ al-‘Uloom wa’l-Hukam (1/107, 108).
Islam Q&A
Surah Isra 17 verse 80 Say: "O my Lord! let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor; and grant me from Thy Presence an authority to aid (me)."
Ameen,Thumameen.
Transliteration :Wa qur rabbi adkhilni mudkhala sidqiw wa akhrijni mukhraja sidqiw wa-j'al li mil ladunka sulta_nan nasira_(n).
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 2482 Narrated by AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him)
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to say, " O Allah, grant me benefit in what Thou hast taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase my knowledge. Praise be to Allah in all circumstances. I seek refuge in Allah from the state of those who go to Hell."
Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a tradition whose isnad is gharib.

What a day!
Ok, so last night, I was up until 5 in the morning on the phonse with my two besties. I called them on the strength of us having a quick coversation, but it turned into a almost 5 hour one. haha, I love my friends! We talking about very beneficial things. We always find ways to keep each other striving toward the path of righteousness, yet still able to balance a teenage life, living the life of our inner child. We set goals for one another. Even when the task may seem tedious for one, we have faith in one another. Our plan is to have a blast this summer! Since we live in the city of Philadelphia, we want to take advantage of it to its fullest! There are tons of historical sites that we've yet to see. There are just so many things that we would like to do!! So meanwhile while we plan, I sit at the computer dead to the world tired, because lack of sleep! haha, but what the hey!

Denying Ressurection After Death is STRANGE!
Allah says to His Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him,"(And if you wonder.) at the rejection of the polytheists who deny Resurrection, even though they witness Allah's signs and evidences that He made in His creation which testify that He is able to do everything. Yet, they admit that Allah originated the creation of all things and brought them into existence after they were nothing. However, they deny Allah's claim that He will resurrect the world anew, even though they admit to what is more amazing than what they deny and reject. Therefore, it is amazing that they said,"(When we are dust, shall we indeed then be (raised) in a new creation) It is an obvious fact to every sane and knowledgeable person that creating the heavens and earth is a greater feat than creating men, and that He Who has originated creation is more able to resurrect it anew. (Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and was not wearied by their creation, is able to give life to the dead Yes, He surely is able to do all things)[46:33] Allah described those who deny Resurrection, (They are those who disbelieved in their Lord! They are those who will have iron chains linking their hands to their necks. ) They will be dragged in the Fire by these chains,(They will be dwellers of the Fire to abide therein forever.), for they will remain in Hell forever and will never escape it or be removed from it. (They ask you to hasten the evil before the good, while exemplary punishments have indeed occurred before them. But verily, your Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind, in spite of their wrongdoing. And verily, your Lord is (also) severe in punishment.)
