Today is the First DAY of HAJJ

Assalamu Alaikum,
as we relax here in our country(-ies) hujjaj in makkah have begun their hajj. Make duaa' for them now. Yes NOW. :) Thank you.
I feel really bad because I want to be there. I am halal-ishly envious of all the hujjaj who are on the ready in their ihram right now. (Unless you're a haaj who has his iPhone with him right now and is checking his mail on the way! Psshhhtt I hope not!! Inna Lellah)

The flag of Egypt



As the above picture of the Egyptian Flag indicates the overall background is a tricolor consisting of Red, White and Black.



The description of the Eygyptian Flag is as follows:
1. Three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black
2. The national emblem (a shield superimposed on a golden eagle facing the hoist side above a scroll bearing the name of the country in Arabic) centered in the white band.



According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the Egyptian flag represent the following:
White - peace and honesty
Red - hardiness, bravery, strength & knightliness & valiancy
Black - Determination



The Meaning & History of the Egyptian Flag



1. The Egyptian National emblem represents the eagle of Salah ul-Deen
2. From 1923 Egypt adopted a green flag depicting three stars within the crescent representing the peoples living in Egypt - the Muslims, Christians and Jews
3. The NEW Egyptian flag (see above picture.. XD) was adopted on October 4, 1984

GO EGYPT!! (my country.. though I personally was made in the U.S.)

Kunya(s)

Assalamu Alaikum,
A kunya. What is a kunya? A kunya (Arabic: كنية‎) is an honorific widely used in place of given names through the Arab world and the medieval Muslim world. It is a component of an Arabic name, and a type of epithet(attribution) referring to the person's first-born son or daughter or parents. Men go by either:
  1. Abu ~ (the father of ~)
  2. Or Ibn ~ (the son of ~) .

Women go by either:

  1. Umm ~ (the mother of ~)
  2. Or Bint ~ (the daughter of ~).

For instance my personal Kunya is Bint Khaled...which differs from my webname: VeiledKnight. But my besties still call me by my first name (so do my sibs and family). In my opinion, it is best for people from the opposite gender to call each other by their Kunya rather than their first name. It is more respectful that way and less hinting towards anything.

What's your Kunya? Let us know...

-Bint Khaled.

For Allah. For Islam.
