Ramadan 2014

A great time is nearly upon us yet again; a time of introspection where one looks into their own self and reflects on current states of condition whether it be mental, physical or otherwise. A time to simultaneously think of others - those you know of and those you don't, those near and those far, in order to send out positivity for them all to enjoy. A time to acknowledge and be thankful for The One and Sole Source from which everything comes from. Although He gave us free will, without His permission will anything happen.

This time is Ramadan.

Where we can think of ourselves, others, the One Source all year round (and it is recommended we all do so as much as possible), it was within this time in which for the last time His World was set upon Muhammad (pbuh), the last prophet, being revealed to him little by little over 23 years during the 7th Century. His Word, The Qur'an is a message of knowledge, guidance, relief and mercy for us to follow as best we can, and so its during Ramadan where we show our thanks to Him for delivering this amazing gift to us.

In 2014, permitting the sighting of the moon, Ramadan commences on the 27th-29th of June (dependent upon your location on the planet). More info can be found over here.

AYTD wishes everyone a very happy Ramadan, and gives all thanks and praises to Allah - The One True Source of everything. Thank you.

Michelle Obama's "#BringBackOurGirls" Campaign Backfires

One of the biggest current affairs stories in recent weeks to grace news headlines across the world is that of the abduction of over 200 girls in Nigeria by the Islamic militant organisation Boko Haram. This currently ongoing situation has been condemned by political leaders from all corners of the globe (AYTD does also btw) - with a number of them offering to help the Nigerian government's efforts in finding the girls and bringing them back to freedom and safety.

Bringing them back... this segways superbly into the catchphrase that instantly became a viral mantra to further bring the story to the forefront and really put pressure on Boko Haram to relent. US First Lady Michelle Obama made her voice heard on this subject via venturing down the social media route. She tweeted:  "Our prayers are with the missing Nigerian girls and their families. It's time to #BringBackOurGirls. - mo", along with an accompanying photo of herself in the White House brandishing the hashtag on a piece of paper. Numerous famous figures both in and out of the political realm rushed to show their support; from David Cameron to Puff Daddy.

Despite gaining the level of momentum an advertising agency has wet dreams of, it took little more time than an acne-riddled basement-dwelling nerd losing his virginity for the #BringBackOurGirls campaign to take a turn for the worse. The same platform of social media was used when the Michelle Obama's original image was "shopped" - where her message was erased and replaced with various statements, many highlighting the US' own terrible record of foreign policy such as these below:

 

Never one to miss a chance at jumping on a bandwagon let alone wasting time talking about psuedo-political trends whilst more important things are going on. AYTD decided to participate in this mild diversion by coming up with some hashtags of our own which we'd like to see being brought back.
