L_Oman’s ‘GAME OF TAG’!

September 15, 2008 · 21 Comments

 L_Oman is asking the following question on her blog: “Am I the only blogger out there that sometimes thinks of other bloggers?” She’s also asking if it is even healthy to wonder about our fellow bloggers… in answer to that, probably not but nevertheless I do!

So she came up with a new meme to keep us occupied and it is as follows:

I’m gonna tag all you guys and start up my own little game of tag. Post at least five blogs that you read and tell us what you wonder about with them! And that goes for everyone else not listed too

I wonder when Ammena is going to get on and tell her mum everything that needs to be said (about Islam, being engaged…)

I wonder why Itto’s comments on my blog always end up in spam and spam doesn’t find it’s way to spam. :x I also wonder how it is living in such a beautiful place as the Moroccan Atlas and if she ever misses Germany.

I wonder how our Kate manages to do such a fab job with her family masha’Allah Tabaarak Allah ~ homeschooling her brood, doing fab arty projects with the kids, knitting, crocheting and stitching things for the family and cooking yummy things! I also wonder when the time will be right for her hijra and pray that Allah allows it to be soon.

Like L_Oman, I also think of AlAjnabiya often. I too wonder about her safety and how an American Muslimah managed to adapt to life in the West Bank and am totally in awe of her.

I wonder where Farhana gets all her inspiration, imagination, time and ‘oomph’ for all the amazing fundraising projects she has on her blog. Kudos to you sister!

    Gaza?!? I am not is Gaza sister, I am in the West Bank, alhamdulillah, between Jerusalem and Ramallah. I am SO glad that I am not in Gaza, as I think that I couldn’t cope with all that they have to go through. Thanks for tagging me though, and for thinking about me. Will you think of me less knowing that I am a lot safer than you thought?

    LOL, I know you’re in West Bank – I was burning the midnight oil at both ends and posted that really late. I don’t know where that came from! I’ll edit it; silly me! :roll:

    Masha’Allah how sweet!

  • Umm Ibrahim // September 15, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    Assalaamu alaikum,

    Rainbow: To add a working link you copy the link you want to use > highlight a word in your text like ‘this link’ then click on the greenish icon next to ‘text colour’ and paste the link in the box and click ok. What you have then should look like this: thislink Does that make sense?!

    Itto: Yay, you were not spam! :D Look forward to seing your post; in fact I look forward to being able to access your blog again. Myminaret keeps doing weird things. :?

    UmmAbdullah: Nice to see you again! Insha’Allah you are having a good Ramadan!

  • Farhana // September 18, 2008 at 2:01 am

    As-salaamu’alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my very dear sister,

    Jazaki’Allahu khair for adding me to this lovely list of people.. I appreciate it. You are very sweet, tabarak’Allah.

    And to answer your question.. everything comes from Allah. And of course, you know that.. but it really, really does.. everytime a project is launched it only happen because Allah opened up some way or ‘pointed’ me in that direction. :D I hope makes sense. A lot of times I’m amazed at how everything just fell into place. AlhumduliLlah.

    Wa’alaykum as-salaam
    Lots of Love
    Farhana

    I finally did my tag, but I could not limit my self to 5. More like 55, lol. And I keep looking at your blog roll trying to to be tempted to fall in love with even more blogs. There just aren’t enough hours in the day for all the wonderful sisters online.

  • Umm Ibrahim // September 19, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    Assalaamu alaikum,

    UmAlmuhajid: I’m sure once you have been blogging a couple of months your blogroll will be as long your arm too! ;)

    Biscuitinabasket: LOL, I pinched a meme idea from you (My first…) so it’s your turn now!

    Farhana: Wa iyyaaki sis. And yes, everything is indeed from Allah swt. :)

    AlAjnabiya: LOL @ 55! I read it, you did include a lot masha’Allah and I want to read some of those blogs which are new to me insha’Allah.
