Hello guys(:

Oh, I thought "uztaza" meant teacher, but then I thought if you are so fiesty and vehemently against it, how can you be propogating the exact same thing. I recently got offered a job, teaching English at an Islamic school (I did not apply,I was sought out), but I just don't understand how I would be able to separate teaching English from the overall ethos of the school, which is to indoctrinate those kids' heads with crap. I find it even more difficult to see how you would be able to do that in your position. I did think I should take up the position and lead them "astray" with The Truth. Perhaps, I will... >D Anyway sister, all the best.

OOps, my bad... i didnt explain properly. I am forced to teach in that madrasah (sunday classes). My mom teaches there too. I told my mom that i am quitting but she didnt let me becos there is a shortage of teachers. I teach toddlers how to read the Quran. I have stopped teaching hadiths and the other "nonsense" stuff. I do not make my students memorise any hadiths. It is only the upper level kids. Haha i pity them. I teach poems, tell storues (from Qur'an) and teach them Akhlaq (character building.) I do not and will not propogate hadiths or sunnah-tunnabi.
Hehe i like your evil thinking > rotfl Haha yes I can get very fierce too Thank you anyways, for your welcome post )

Yeah, sunnis. I've been disowned by some, threatened, called kaffir/infidel.

Wa Salamun Alayka Ariana95
welcome
Nice to know you're from Singapore..
There's a handful of Singaporeans here I believe..
You can reach out to them.... leh...
And in case you're wondering, no I'm not Singaporeans.. lived there for some time in the distant past...It's nice to know you're an 'uztasa' in a madrasa...
And yeah it's kind of sad how they (or should I say 'you' in this case.. ) intoxicate little kids with 'religion absurdity'..
I bet they're also telling those little kids 'if you don't do this or that Allah will be angry and put you to hell'... or other horrible things..Keeping children away from intoxication and indoctrination of religion absurdity will be among the little 'jihad' that we can do..
Salam / Peace
Hehe hello!! ( Thank you for your welcome post You still remeber you singlish! Not bad lah! Hehe actually, to be more precise, i live in singapore. I am actually from the land of bollywood. Thats right, the Incredible India! yes
I would LOVE to meet my fellow singaporeans! Feels great!
Haha dont worry, i do NOT and will NOT intoxicate my students with religious absurdities. I make lessons fun for them! I teach them how to read the Qur'an... abit of stories and poems... i also teach them character building. Thats all. I am innocent peace

welcome aboard!
noticed how people who question wanting to know the Truth, somehow come to see the Truth.
i just returned from my trip to India. came to the united states at age 10yo. am now 40 years. i remember as a child questioning and wondering about traditions, practices, rituals, etc. spent the past 20 some years reading/learning. i came to learn the Truth about islam and now see from the outside. wearing a burqa is a big deal back home and i took a stance. not only that but had my hair down. well, you can only imagine how i was looked upon and what was said. i asked show me where in the koran God says to wear a burqa? i asked my relatives what is hadith? that's the problem, people don't know what the koran says or know the history of hadiths.
it brought smiles to my face when my cousin leaned over whispering in my ears to send her english translation of the koran. only way to fight ignorance is with knowledge. at least one person in the crowd heard and wants to know the Truth. well, more than one person did. yay

Salaam Arifa,
You poor soul, you should come stay with me-it's a parents and family free zone! I have been extremely fortunate my mum has never been like that. I guess I was fortunate, in a sense, because she was an Atheist, hence never forced religion on me.
And mashAllah, is that you on your avatar? You are a beauty! I notice (if that is you) that you're wearing a sari with midrif showing. Does that mean your mum objects to the Qur'an Alone approach, but not with traditional Indian dress? I am also from the subcontinent, but I could never wear a traditional sari because from my understanding it doesn't conform to the dress code God has decreed for women. And besides, as "liberal" as my mother is, she would have my guts for garters too! (Sorry, I'm not telling you off! I apologise if I come across as doing so!)
Peace

Hehe hello!! ( Thank you for your welcome post You still remeber you singlish! Not bad lah! P

Aha namaste... I should greet you with Om Shanti Om... which was also a bollywood movie.. was it not? )
Haha dont worry, i do NOT and will NOT intoxicate my students with religious absurdities. I make lessons fun for them! I teach them how to read the Qur'an... abit of stories and poems... i also teach them character building. Thats all. I am innocent peace
Glad to hear it... teach them 'forgiveness', 'compassion' and 'empathy'..
All kids are moslems...
Let them all grow up to be true moslem don't turn them into sunnis, christians, jews and other sectarians...And here's one of my favorite quote from a jewish sage who lived 2000 years ago..
(which actually didn't started any religion)"Truly, I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven"
Matt 183Salam / Om Shanti Om / Peace

Salaam Arifa,
It's so funny that you mention this girl is a South Indian actress, because I had assumed it was you and thought you looked South Indian. I think South Indian women (and men P) are beautiful, mashAllah! ;D
I live in England. I am supposed to be moving to Morocco, but I did think about working in Singapore a year or two ago, perhaps we could do a house swap instead!
I am Punjabi with a teeny weeny bit of Gujerati mixed in for good measure.
I love 'Om Shanti Om'. It reminds me of driving on the G.T. Road, through the fertile land of the Punjab, listening to 'Dard'e-Disco'. I love the songs in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' too, but I can think of one in particular from there which I thought was a bit debateable 'Tujh Main Rab Dikhta Hai'-the title I thought was a little here and there and then he said "sajdeh main sarh juktha hai" and I thought, I'm sure this is not allowed. I did love that song though. It can be a little frustrating because my name is Sajda and I get people singing the same song to me from 'My Name Is Khan'- 'Tera Sajda'- saying they want to do sajda to me. I always tell them off! Haha, I've gone off on another rant with you-I feel like I keep telling you off! I'm turning into my mother, sorry! Who, by the way you will have the great pleasure of metting if we do this house swap!
Anyway, if you like 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and the actors, then you will like Anushka Sharma too. Chameli and I were discussing Anushka Sharma in Chameli's thread. We seem to have a bit of a Bollywood following going on here!
Jafar, yes, you are right. I am still debating taking this job at the Sunni school (if I do this, I would have to delay my job in Morocco), but at the same time, I feel like I should do it, plant a seed, save these children from indoctrination and from all that is wrong in that institution which they perceive Islam to be. !
Actually, I think we should start infiltration groups-act from within-best way to do it! voodoo pr
