For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

Unknown. I hate that feeling that people are talking about me or looking at me. Curse you, anxiety and depression!!!

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

Being "famous" is pretty damn amusing, anyone saying otherwise is lying.

However with fame comes special treatment which you don't really deserve, and with special treatment comes poorly treated, which you also might not deserve.

While "fame" is fun, I don't think it's really worth it. So I'd rather be unknown.

I wish I knew Arabic. :( I've read the Qur'an in Arabic but I can't understand it - I just know how to read the alphabet.

My dad has a pretty strong Pakistani accent, though he was educated at English-speaking schools in his home country, and my mother has a very faint Turkish one. I was born and raised in Australia and both my parents spoke English at home, so I don't really have an accent at all. If anything, my accent is faintly English because of all the TV I watch. :P


I have like 40 chapters of the Quran memorized. You don't read the Quran like you read normal Arabic. Like the Quran in Arabic has the word AlRahman. That's the writing but when you say it you say ArRahman. You get rid of the L sound and just go straight to the R sound. That's just one example.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

Wow, that's really cool.

I do know how to pronounce Qur'anic Arabic, because like most kids, I learned how to pray from being taught aurally before I ever read the book for myself. Because I don't know how to speak modern Arabic, the only pronunciations I know are the Qur'anic ones. I have a pretty strong Urdu accent, however, because my dad taught me how to pray, so I learned his accent.

I learned basic Arabic first and pronouncations of words before I got seriously into the Quran. If you know the vowel points then the Quran is easy to read. But Quran is all about the recital because the English for Quran is "the recitation" lol.

I just learned the alphabet and pronunciation of vowels at first, then the different punctuation marks before I started reading the Qur'an. I was about five when I learned the alphabet, then I got lazy for a few years and started reading the Qur'an in Arabic when I was twelve. I'd read it in English before that, though.
