I think this feature by Amna Saad is a major boost

for all the women out there be they mothers,sisters or wives and this really encourages women to believe in themselves and ensures them that they are no way less than men in any field.....for that matter just makes one say..

.....WOMEN RULE!

Eklavya:

I`d rather listen to the song sung by two different singers in the same album. Please look into Notting Hill`s CD. You should hear # 5 and # 9. They are both beautifully sung. That`s all that I would like to say. You`ve got to hear it yourself.

Take Care.

re: Zahra # 44

It is the first time anyone has posted something here that I will actually print out and put up on my wall.

Thank you.

Regards,

EK

I think it is time that this sweet poem should have a board with sweet lyrics!

Ain`t No Sunshine
[Soundtrack: Notting Hill]
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Coffeehouse/1659/aintnosunshine.html

Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
It`s not warm when she`s away
Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
She`s gone much too long
Any time she goes away

Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
Wonder if she`s gone to stay
Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
And this house just ain`t no home
Anytime she goes away


I know
She`s gone to stay
It`s breakin` me up
Anytime she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone


Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
It`s not warm when she`s away
Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
And she`s gone much too long
Any time she goes away


Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
I wonder if she`s gone to stay
There ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
And this house just ain`t a home
Any time she goes away


I know
She`s gone to stay
It`s breaking me up
Any time she goes away
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone


Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
I wonder if she`s gone to stay
Ain`t no sunshine when she`s gone
And this house just ain`t no home
Any time she goes away
Any time she goes away


Written By: Bill Withers

AAmir - I dont know what to make out of that. See, such ASStounding logic i cannot argue against. However since you insist on acting like one, a big fat one at that - all I can say is this - GROW UP !!!

really sweet...

hmm...about the rib

its a myth, rooted in the Yahwist`s account of creation in Genesis....it has absolutley no base in the Quran but has become mainstream msulim culture [unfortunately]...think about it though, if man and woman are equal in God`s eyes [according to Quranic principles]...then why would woman be created FROM man?

``An analysis of the Quranic descriptions of human creation shows how the Quran evenhandedly uses both feminine and masculine terms and imagery to describe the creation of humanity from a single source. That God`s original creation was undifferentiated humanity and not either man or woman is implicit of Quranic passage`` [Riffat Hassan in ``Women`s Rights and Islam``]

read up on Riffat Hassan`s writing sometime, maybe it`ll help clear up misconceptions

AAmir - dont see the connection again

btw yes life is happily going in reverse order - started to run before I could walk, to walk before i could crawl and you know the rest. hmmm maybe taht explains why I can Understand and Respect a persons likes and dislikes without getting down to the ``you your`` etc bit : )

Welcome to CHOWK Amna Saad.
Enjoyed your writing here very much. Just
one question though.
Why just send this to the women.....?

Ras
