As we're receiving some e-mails etc... We felt like sharing a video with you guys. JUST watch, observe, and then if you STILL feel like it... JUDGE!

28th October, Spinningfield, Manchester.

Today, City of Manchester came up with an idea how to get a touch of Marrakesh in the city.

I always wanted to ride one of these. I do remember my aunty or a close relative of mine having one in her farm back in Rawalphindi, Pakistan. Even though I was in the US and missed this lovely day, I hope any of you had the chance riding these great camels.

This is again one of them movies which you just have to see once in a while to get that feeling back of 1400 years ago. Everybody is shown except for the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The scholars and historians of the famous 'Al-Azhar University in Cairo' have approved the accuracy and fidelity of this film.

Full movie online. The famous Documentary 'The Message of Islam'. Enjoy

Celebrating? What exactly?
Alhamdulillah, Pakistan and India gained their independence in 1947 and to this day, the fireworks are crackling.

Firstly there is Mahathma Gandhi. The non-violent activist lawyer who succumbed to every power except defeat. As a revolutionary speaker he rescued India from the British Empire, keeping family values, local employment and cultural progress the keys to India's character. He was that person which said "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphan, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" The same question resonates heavily in today's climate.

If you haven't heard yet, Pakistan gained its independence from Britain 62 years ago on August 14th, 1947. We're all aware of Pakistan's current condition, and there are a few homeless people who give their thoughts on this national holiday:

The recent death of The King of Pop, Michael Jackson sent shock-waves across the globe. The fifty year old star collapsed and later died in his LA home on the 25th of June 2009.

Perhaps Rishad Mehmood, the sports editor of the Dawn Newspaper in Pakistan said it best, “Pakistan's victory in the Twenty20 cricket tournament has lifted the spirits of a beleaguered nation”.

He's called Prince Naz and attracts over 100 million people on TV. Before entering the boxing ring, whilst entering the ring and after leaving the ring, Prince Naseem Hamed's team reads Allah-u Akbar [Allah is The Greatest] in front of one million people...

The venue and time are changed due to several circumstances. Check out the following video from the powerful speaker and rhymer "Amir Sulaiman". Amazing poet and powerful delivery. To see him live in action, come and join the event, organized by Scoop (The Chief-Editor) and other Muslim Youth Work Student, this Friday in Manchester, at the Community Language College - Stretford High School, Great Stone Road, Manchester, M32 0XA. He will be joined by Mecca2Madina, Masikah AKA Fisabilallah, Poetry Pilgrimage, Poetic Pilgrimage, Muslim Belal and other Muslim Rapper's and Poets. Promises to be an amazing event, complete with workshops by the Muslim Youth Work students. Timings are 6pm to 10pm, more details to come soon...

A group of Americans, who just simply lost the plot. They convert well-known songs into its Halal-version. Recently, these guys, also known as Lota Pani crew, made a come-back: Halal Mixtape Vol 1 -Return of the Lota. They asked my brother Faisal Mirza to give them some fame in the EU, and I would love to do that as well. So here you go, the track: Gandaghee.
