WMN

I've got a busy upcoming weekend, with lots of studying, travelling and a charity fundraiser all in the space of a few days.
For those of you who remember, WMN recently organised a 'Celebrating Muslim Women' event, all funds raised from this event were to be donated to the Imran Khan flood appeal. WMN have now been invited to the event shown below in Manchetser to present the money to Imran Khan himself, this is a brilliant opportunity for us at WMN who have worked very hard to bring together the Muslim and non- Muslim community.

The success and support we have achieved in a short period of time is just the start of what we at WMN would like to accomplish, we have a lot more work to do, many more misconceptions to break, and plenty of bridges to cross.

If any of you would like more information about WMN or would like to get involved please do contact any of the committee members, we are open and welcoming to new faces and new ideas and women of all faiths!

Thank God it's Friday!

Eid Mubarak

Salaam everyone,

Eid Mubarak to everyone, may you all have a blessed Eid. I pray Allah SWT brings peace, prosperity and harmony between the Muslims and non Muslims. Inshallah the coming year will bring with it the blessings of Allah SWT and His mercy on us all. Please remember all those who are no longer with us this year, those who are suffering and all those who are less fortunate. Also please make a special dua for sister Adila from High Wycombe who is in a coma fighting for her life. Pray that she returns from this critical state and is re united with her young daughters.

Mubarak to those who have completed their Hajj, a journey of a lifetime, may Allah accept their Hajj and accept their duas. May Allah also give us the chance to perform Hajj inshallah one day.

Ameen

I've gotta feeling.............

I've gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

I've gotta feeling (Woohoo) that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good good night

I'm really excited about tonight, we have sold over 150 tickets and are expecting a lot more people to turn up on the door! If you're in the area why don't you pop down to Wycombe High at 6pm for our Celebrating Muslim Womens event. Also remember the first fifty people to arrive get a Lush goody bag, so hurry on down! 



Lunch

Lunch time is fast approaching and like every other day I am confused as to what to eat. This is one of my daily dilemmas which requires alot of thought but by the time I finally decide what I feel like its three pm and I am so hungry I could devour a whole elephant! So people help me out,  these are the options or lack of ;

Pret- sandwiches have about 500 calories and the only nice soup is tomato soup but that's not very nice anymore, plus I can't eat soup without bread.

Giraffe- has weird wraps and burgers but only very limited vegetarian options.
Hare and Tortoise (halal)- had the noodles from there yesterday, don't think I should have them two days in a row.
Patisserie Valerie- will end up only eating cake and then feeling very very sick!
GBK- expensive and the burgers aren't even very tasty, better off going down to Holborn to Chicken Cottage.
Nandos (not halal)- don't see the point of having a veggie burger, burgers are not meant to be vegetarian.
Strada- they have limited veggie options, they have a sea food pasta but with wine sauce :( and their pizzas aren't great.
Yo Sushi -hate sushi
Waitrose- would end up buying everything BUT lunch!

Pizza Express- pizza is not healthy even though I try and kid myself to believe it is, but maybe i could have their Legara pizza, its a pizza with the centre cut out and filled with salad.

Pizza Hut- not healthy at all!

Subway- only healthy option is the veggie delight but that's bits of grass in a plain bap, I would rather chew my fingers off!

The problem the majority of these places aren't considered healthy eating and I need to watch what I eat. I end up eating alot of junk so am trying to be very careful.

Wouldn't it be amazing if every day Mr M could make me packed lunch, something different everyday. Mr M if you're reading this then HINT HINT HINT. (you think he got that??????)

Celebrating Muslim Women

Two days to go and the pressure is on, stress levels are high and its getting hot in here. On Wednesday 10th November the Wycombe Muslimah Network or WMN for short will be holding their second event for this year. This event entitled "Celebrating Muslim Women" is all about bringing together Muslim and Non Muslim women in order to acknowledge and celebrate Muslim Women and their achievements. We want to show the community that Muslim Women are just as talented, just as career minded and just as high achieving as their fellow Non Muslim Women. You will get the opportunity to hear about the journeys of some inspirational women who have come from within the community as well as hear the winning poems of a poetry competition held by Wycombe High School. The highlight of the evening will be a fashion show showcasing work from Muslim designers from around the world.Bellissima Scarves, Abaya Collection, Moroccon Kaftans as well as Islamic Design House are all sponsors of the fashion show with Samia from Hijablicious providing the styling for the evening. Make up artists Raheela and Hira Saeed will be showcasing their talent too. So if you still haven't got your ticket get in touch and book your place now. The evening promises to bring entertainment, fun and nice food so don't miss out!
