    1. The Qur'an > Hadith. ALWAYS. I do not know where you got the misconception that I had said anything otherwise. However, the ahadith are a valuable source of information regarding matters that which the Qur'an does not address. 2. Yes, I do believe that Aisha (RA) was 9 when their marriage...

    Tips for good exam creative writing

    Saudi Cleric urges Muslim women to cover all but one eye

    @omgd. I've also heard of something along those lines, that the punishment for those who do not wear the headscarf is that they will be hung by their hair in the Fire. HOWEVER, I do not know of the authenticity of this punishment, so I'll have to do some research for you. EDIT: After some...

    Saudi Cleric urges Muslim women to cover all but one eye

    I'm sorry, but if you have taken the above to mean that wearing the Hijab is not compulsory, you are severely mistaken. Being a muslim, I was quite disturbed to hear this sort of stuff thrown around, so I thought I would gather some stuff for you to read: - The people named below are far...

    What was the CSSA trial question?

    Ha, you guys are slack. The question for Telling the Truth was: "The medium is the message." Evaluate the significance of the medium in representing truth. In your response refer to your prescribed text and at least ONE other text of your choosing.

    Thoughts on Paper 1 of the CSSA Trial Exam

    My subjects for year 11+12

    .. -_- Most subjects will get you a high UAI, as long as YOU (not the scaling or aligning crap) can score a band 6. Question answered? (And, yes, those subjects will get you 99.9+ if you rock the ace out of 'em).

    Bad Math + Medical Career hopes = success?

    I think I can really ace the HSC if I do the subjects I like. At least, I hope so. I think that I can achieve a UAI of 96 or so +.. 96 minimum. And I've gone through the UMAT.. very briefly, and I think, well that, hopefully, God willing, 210+/300 is achievable. And I think that trying to...
