Hello Malik,
The last part of your posting is very interesting but I think Sister Jabou
will try and enlighting us with what you refer to hear and now, which I
personally think it will make a very good reading and enlightingment for non
muslims, so that they can also learn that this life is as equally important
to Mankind as the hearafter or whether it is 6 as to 9, any side you turn
gives you the other. Sister Jabou I think you should ignore this comment
until you finish what you started because I do not want malik to deviate
people from the ongoing discussion which is a masterpiece keep it up sister.
I will be happy to contribute on malik request but for later.
Koto Faal.
