Salaam everyone!

[Linda Muslimah]

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

Alhamdulilah glad to have finally realised how to post a new thread lol.

This is the introduction section, so i guess i should insha'Allah try and introduce myself...
so linda's the name, from melbourne, studying social work. my favourite Hadith would have to be:
Allah's Messenger(SalAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said,"Allah the Exalted has said: 'O son of Adam, I shall go on forgiving you so long as you pray to Me and aspire for My forgiveness, whatever may be your defaults. O son of Adam, I do not care even if your sins should pile up to the sky; and should you beg pardon of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me, not associating anything with Me (in worship), I would come to you with an earthful of forgiveness." Narrated Anas, At-Tirmidhi.

Peace be to all, love you guys for the sake of Allah Subhana wa Ta'alaa

[Linda Muslimah]

Alhamdulilah its a profession where you get to help promote people's welfare and wellbeing, try and give disadvantaged people a fair go. its only my first year at uni so i'm not that updated atm, but insha'Allah i'll be able to give a better answer to that question in future

Wa alaykoum al salam wrb sister.
Welcome to the forum.
MashaAllah, we need more Muslim social workers.
May Allah swt place barakah in your studies, Ameen.

[Abdraheim]

seems to be a good area for a muslim to get into as we are lacking in muslim support systems. May Allah give you success and make you a benefit for the ummah

[Linda Muslimah]

Jazaqum Allahu Khayran, thanks guys! Ameen ya Rubb

[Abdraheim]

[knowledge_a_lost_treasure]

If I can be of any assistance please do let me know, in'shaAllah. I'm involved within the social/welfare sector, alhamdulillah.

welcome cuzzy

[Abdraheim]

working for say the DHS i can see how rewarding it could be in helping out the weak and powerless but it does seem that they have a negative image to many people. must be hard when bureaucracy gets in the way of helping people.

[Linda Muslimah]

@Abdraheim: No I'm not a revert, lol but i do get asked that quite often. Allah Alim why my parents chose to give me a western name.
@knowledge_a_lost_treasure: may Allah reward you for your sincere kindness, Ameen

@fatima_43: Assalamu Alaikum cuz! LOL as you can see, i just figured out how to post a thread woo!!

[Abdraheim]

F43 seems to be related to every second member on this forum :P

my sister inlaw is also called linda and she a leb so wasnt that but when u said

"Jazaqum Allahu Khayran" i didnt think an arab would write it that way

[fatima_43]

Linda is that your real name or is that what you tell Aussies? what's your real name huh? haha JK (someone actually asked her that)

[Abdraheim]

u think linda is bad...my father inlaw called one of his sons 'romeo' and was going to call his twin juliet until the mother flat out refused =\

[Linda Muslimah]

Yeah I think it's a lebanese thing, my brothers all have pure Muslim/Arab names, and then you have me... linda lol. Hmm sometimes i write it as 'Jazaq'Allahu Khayran', lol i guess my mood effects my writing. Fatima people always ask me that! far those my head in. " so whats your name?" "linda" nah your real name" "linda" "no your arab birth name" "LINDA!"

[Linda Muslimah]

LMAO! Romeo? nice
