Thank you to the brasscrescent awards for nominating my blog and for those who voted for me!! I actually won!! I’ve noticed a spike in the amount of readers. Probably hundreds of new people. This really scares me. 
But hey, welcome aboard. Please click on the archive list of all posts down there on the left and read up on what you’ve missed. You’ll perhaps like to start with Islam op-eds. And comment!!
Jazaks.
Update: Adding the nice description by br wcoastbaba which is a good introduction & almost as good as an award
A blog that I’ve been following for the last year or so (I am a member of the author’s awesome website as well) won the award for Best Blog Design among Muslim blogs as per the 6th Annual Brass Crescent Awards. Aside from the very cool design that immediately pops out at you upon arriving on the homepage, the blog itself, entitled ‘Road To Jannah’.which is not to be out-done by the catchy avatar, contains many posts that are also outstanding; some sample blog posts include: Top 10 Advice for Single Muslim Sisters Wanting to Get Married, Muslim Etiquette Guide to Life, Money & Modern Dilemmas, Signs You’re Getting Old(er), and Advice for Muslims Guys (aka how not to be a jerk) just to name a few.
Entries also include poems written by the author and as well as her reflections on personal experiences ( well, each blog entry does reflect an experience or a part thereof that Sister Jannah has gone through at some point or another) and many have provided for lively debate amongst us members, especially the last one listed above.
So please stop by Sister Jannah’s blog if you have some free time; you’ll have a great read and perhaps enlighten us with some of your own input into the various subjects that have been addressed. Ma’salaam / Peace be with you.

Salam, I updated the blog with a new theme. Like it? LOL I modified the picture so it looks more like me!! Like the hijab pins and the henna on the nails? I thought that was a nice touch 
Anyways please send me ur blog links as I have to reupdate that section!! WS
Assalaam Alaikum,About a year ago I posted a note about creating a new matrimonial site. Alhamdulillah the feedback I got was amazing, with over 100+ comments.
There were so many good ideas and solutions, but I quickly realized I just don’t have the resources, money, time, people, etc to develop something like that as I should. Then over this last year I noticed people talking about marriage issues here and there, on a blog, on a forum, commenting on an article, in a note but there’s no real place where they can go and talk about the issues and problems single Muslims face. There’s no place to critique all these matrimonial sites or the actual root level problems that are leading to divorce and so many unmarried Muslims. So I thought it would be great to create an online interactive forum where Muslim singles who are practicing (iA) can discuss these issues. So here it is……..Announcing…
The first forum specifically for single Muslims. Please join and participate! Married/engaged people who have an interest in the subject, who can give good trusted advice and who wish to refer their good single friends can join too
EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS. Amazing how they do this stuff.

Watch how easy it is to trap ordinary Muslims. This is exactly how they do it. Poor Muslims invite them into their homes and serve them tea. This is exactly what my mom would do! 
Have to make her watch this!!
So I checked the logs and there’s 600 ppl feeding into this blog!!!!!!! Ahhh google reader is a wonderful thing isn’t it. (I’m addicted to it myself). Well, subtract out all the gov’t agencies, a reporter or two, my family (hi mom!) and the occasional freak stalker and I guess the 5 or 6 of you left can try these for some beneficial ramadan reading
