Side note: I decided to put both these things in one post because they're equally stupid...
More text messages from a random sender. I'm scared.
4:29pm Warning! From the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun. Now the hope lies with you! Stop that sun from its evil ways. Only you can save us all!
4:31pm Animal for thought: does having more humps make a camel feel more proud? How does a horse feel then for lacking humps? What about a donkey or a mule?
4:32pm Animal for thought: if dogs could talk would they complain about being leashed by their owners and the smell of their owners crotch?
4:35pm Relax. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind!
4:37pm When feeling down just remember that people have stood in your way long enough. That's when you need to go to clown college!
4:39pm The lesson is: our God is vengeful! O spiteful one, show me who to smite and they shall be smoten!!!
4:43pm animal for thought: being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep. In a giant blender

Now, some matrimonials that I came across while reading Horizons Magazine. They made me laugh. And then I stopped laughing and I was just plain annoyed:
Sunni Pakistani Punjabi parents, both physicians, invite correspondence for their 31 years old MD daughter in final year of residency at prestigious university hospital. Seeking MD of similar background.
Pakistani Sunni Parents invite correspondence from an MD/DO for their daughter who was born and raised in the U.S. and is in her final year of residency in family practise.
37 year old, good-looking Pakistani Muslim, Sunni, (physician, U.S. citizen) looking for a beautiful girl between 25-30 years, preferably a Doctor's/Master's degree.
Sunni Muslim Indian parents from California incite correspondence for their 26-year-old son (MD, 2nd year medical resident at a prestigious university hospital) from a well-educated, fair, 20-26 year old muslimah of Indo-Pakistani origin.
My questions:
1. why are they all doctors?
2. why are they all Sunni and from South Asia?
3. why do the female doctors need to marry male doctors and vice versa?
4. why do ugly guys want to marry pretty "fair" girls?

Assalaamu alaykum Asmaa'ish,
"Wanted really b'ful fair medico for h'some smart Doctor." -- Sound familiar?
Not too long ago, I asked a friend of mine why all the Bollywood actors look nothing like the Indians we all know ;)
Anyhow, she sent me this article explaining the Indian "fair fetish":

Be sure to read the section entitled "Fairness as an Asset"
It would explain Q #4.
* wAllahu 'alam for the rest
Assalamu aleikum,
Why do I get the feeling that those ads were all by the same person, trying to change it up to gain more attention :S
As for your text messages: wierd...:S
i think the more relevant question is why are doctors having such a hard time finding someone to marry?
on the last ad, did they want to incite correspondence? Sounds very violent
i'm sure rogers has a way of tracking what ip address was used to send the messages. once you have that, you have the internet servicer provider for the loser. If the ISP is nice enough they may even tell you who be sending these retard messages or atleast tell them to cease and decist
i'd say something witty, except that i can't think of anything at the moment.
oh no, wait, i have it. asmaa, i think you are perfect ;)
OMG...I read those matrimonial adds too and I had the same thoughts....why are they all doctors??? Crazy...
Meowmix, walaikum assalaam. Hey, when did I become "Asmaa'ish"? Hehe. Yes, the obsession with fairness is not...fair. (corny joke points!) Ahem, it's pretty ridiculous. I'm thinking of the cream "fair and lovely." Eww.
Olde, walaikum assalaam. I know eh :|
MTR, my theory is that doctors spend so much time studying, that once they're done, they no longer know how to communicate with other human beings. Oops, that was "invite" hehe. But incite sounds cooler anyways.
Pedagocial thoughts, the worst thing is that doctors only want to marry doctors...why? So they can breed more doctors?!
LISTEN UP EVERYONE: JUST FOR THE RECORD, HAJERA THINKS I'M PERFECT!
If you ever lived in Pakistan, you wouldn't have to ask those questions.....the people there are just like that.
kinda depressing
I've always had a problem with how people think the lighter your skin the prettier. That's just disgusting - actually it's just blatant racism to put it plain and simple.
A friend sent me this, it's funny to read, well I think it's supposed to be funny.. if it's not, then it's just really sad :S

Funny text messages. If Rogers tried to track messages sent from their website using IP addresses, it'd take them forever due to the usage of that website.. Besides, these text messages are hilarious - at least two of them are related to the Simpsons from what I can tell.
It's very possible that the guy in each of these advertisements isn't a doctor even. If he is, he must be incredibly ugly and looking for someone simply using his title and position as bait...
Assalaamu Alaikum :)
What a waste of texts. Some of those texts are mentioned in The Simpsons ... you've got yourself a Simpsons fanatic on your hands ... and no, it's not me :)(oh, Nauman already came to that conclusion ... good job!)
Slave of Allah, isn't that...generalizing?
Aaliya, it is pretty disturbing how people view skin colour :S I've read that article before...it's really disturbing.
Nauman, good to know that it's impossible to stop them. Oh well, they do provide entertainment :)
Squeeky, that makes me even more scared! Only freaks are obsessed with the Simpsons. hehe ;)
I dont necessarily think they are having trouble finding someone. It may well be the case that they were simply too wrapped up in their medschools and all that fun stuff to really have time to pursue marriage.
Secondly, they're all south asian cuz perhaps horizons is read by mostly asian people. And thats also how isna is i believe: predominantly south asian so im not surprised. And I wouldnt be if i were you :-)
Actually it's said that the inhabitants of janaat will have fair skin.
I'm not generalizing (maybe I am...who knows?)
Becuase i know how my parents are...it scares me that i might not get married just because i'm a Teacher and not a Doctor
And this happens a lot among Pakistanis by the way. Especially the ones that i know, for that matter.
AP- You should be careful with the words you use :)
It's also known that the inhabitants of jannah will wear thick garments of green silk with gold embroidery (surah al-Insaan ayah 21)
But do you think the silk Allah will provide them with can even compare to the silk of this world?
Jannah will contain that which no eye has ever seen and no person has ever imagined.
Allahu 'alam if the inhabitants of Jannah will have fair skin per se, but from I know they will have *Bright Faces* and in some cases, like the first group of people to EVER enter Jannah, will have faces as *Radiant* as the Moon.
Similarly, the skin of the people of Hellfire will be burnt black from their punishment, but we wouldn't say the inhabitants of Jahanam are black (or have black skin)!
This is knowledge of the Unseen, so maybe we're meant to take it as is.
Asmaa, why don't you ask Shaykh Waleed Basyouni (for clarification) on the Aqeedah 3 section of the AlMaghrib Forums? I know it's really not all that beneficial, but if anything, it would help our understanding of the matter (plus I'm rather curious now!).
wAllahu ta'ala 'alam
thank you meowmix.
sorry, just to clarify.
the first person to *ever* enter jannah, in both spirit and body, will be the P(SAS) and the first *group* of people to enter jannah will be as radiant as the moon.
