Books & Toys To Buy (for me)
Birth-day gift 1 | Birth-day gift(s) 2.
Books I need:
- Copybook: Ethical Sayings of The Prophet, Sandala Productions.
- My Life Story, it could be the beginning of an legendary Muslim memoir.
- The Autobiography of Malcolm X. I had one, I gave it away.
- What The Seeker Needs, by ibn 'Arabi.
- Traveled Roads, by Kim Hopson.
- Footnotes in Gaza, by Joe Sacco.
- Is It Just Me Or Is Everything Just Sh*t? ...
- The Burda of al Busiri, £40-ish, Sandala Productions.
- Legends of Islam, £3, Qadimoon.
- Salaah, £3, Qadimoon.
- Thugs in the Masjid, £3, Qadimoon.
- Love Thyself, $13, Sandala Productions.
- Shady Grove, $.99, Dawud Wharnsby. I know it's under a quid, but I'm adding it to this mammoth list so you can prove you read it.
- Anything by Hamza Yusuf in his younger days and Raphael Saadiq would also be received with du`a and eternal love.
Gadgets I seek:
- Magnetic Sculpture, £6, Hawkin's Bazaar.
- LED Book light, £4, Hawkin's Bazaar.
- iPhone 4 (an upgrade would be mucho appreciated).
- Stylophone, £13, Hawkin's Bazaar.
- Doodle A Clock, £3.91, Redsave. Or, a black wall clock, £7, Argos. I need a clock.
- Um... a Chocolate Machine... £6.
So that totals to round-about £160 minus the phone (!) HOWEVER, as in previous years I do not expect you to buy all the birthday-gifts listed here... Perhaps you could divide them amongst family abroad. Or ask your children to buy one each. (= I'm flexible like that. Your favourite daughter, niece, sister, granddaughter and cousin, Zaufishan.
...cartwheels away into fields of daisies...
Do you have a previous iPhone model or are you looking to join the rest of the world? Ugh! they're everywhere. (All my cuzins back home have one, me is making sure I get anything except that phone in Dec).
ReplyDeleteHmm, awesome list. Don't think I can find any of the items here though :-(
lol @ My Mother :: I've got a clock now, thank you very much. (:
ReplyDelete@MF, oye, I'm not asking you to partake in anything, this is a strictly family-list for execution! Make du`a for me man.
ReplyDeleteHan-ji! Samajgaya. Zaroor mere taraf se du'a - hamesha.
