Yawm Al-Arbu'a

Assalam u alaikum,

I am typing to you from Al-Diwan about half an hour before my lesson, which is why my title for the post has to be in arabi (yawm al-arbu'a is Wednesday). Alhamdulillah everything is going well. I am going to find out about my test results today. Insha'allah they will be good. Yesterday I was worried about the test but today I am not because I realized that the test doesn't matter: it's whether I've learned more Arabic or not. I guess that's how it is for every test, but even more so for Arabic because we're not going to get a degree after this or any kind of recognition or anything. It's just Allah and me and the books and Arabic and Allah.

Intehaytu al-dars (I am done my lecture for today).

Today we bought a phone card from Vodafone. It wasn't hard to do in retrospect but it's very stressful at the time. You're mind has to be switched on to turbo to figure out what's going on. I don't have it the cellphone on right now because I would hate to see what would happen to me if the phone went off during the class, but I'll have it on insha'allah the rest of the time. The number is: 016-240-1963. I think you have to put the Cairo code in first (02). I am not sure, so try it. Farooq bhai any ideas?

Okay I have to go.

Ma'asalam,
