15 things you shouldn't do on Facebook!
Got these from a Facebook group: click here
1. Do not abuse the Facebook status feature. It specifically says "What's on your mind?"...not "What are you currently doing every five minutes of your life".2. Do not become a fan of Facebook pages that don't apply to you. 3. Do not like your own statuses or photos otherwise I think people are going to think you're a little bit sad. Although, that's my opinion.4. Do not send silly gifts on Facebook applications. Yes...we are very grateful you considered sending us a kitten or a hug...but how about sending me something in real life?5. Do not post attention seeking statuses. This includes making up stories such as your grandmother falling down the stairs to get people to comment and like your status.6. Do not post indirect, subliminal statuses. If you are in love with 'him' and 'he' is constantly on your mind, do us all a freaking favour and tell him for heaven's sake! This includes b***hing about someone without writing the person's name. We all want to know who the d**khead is thank you very much.7. Do not, if you have Facebook on your mobile, post a photo of everything you eat during your daily adventures.8. Do not add someone, then post "Sorry...random add!" on the wall. You clearly thought that person was nice looking...but you shouldn't be adding people you don't know anyway.9. Do not have false middle names. You are not 'James Bedrock Goldstone' or 'Mandy JustinBieber Riddles'.10. Do not put an apostrophe in your name (such as 'George Harrold') just to appear first on your friend's chat list.11. Do not tag all your friends in a 'supposedly funny' photo you discovered on Google Images.12. Do not have false profile pictures. It's an insult to make us think you're a Pokémon.13. Do not ask people to comment or 'like' your photos of yourself. I refuse to explain myself with this one.14. Do not have your relationship status set to "It's complicated". If your relationship is so damned complicated that you have to identify it as such on your Facebook profile, get the hell off Facebook and go fix your relationship.15. Do not import your 'tweets' from Twitter. If we wanted to read your tweets...we would have Twitter accounts wouldn't we?NOTES:- The only reason you have to become a fan to see the '15 things' is to make it easy to show your friends about the page- If you don't like the page, you don't need to tell us...leave silently (especially if you got offended or took it too seriously, it was already suggested to give this page a skip)- You can't have the word 'Facebook' in the title of pages/groups (which explains 'FACEBÒÓK')...it's a joke- If you have any additonal things in minds (to add on to the '15 THINGS'), leave a wall post

Twenty Characteristics of Faith
A member of a delegation from the tribe of Azd Suwayd ibn Al-Harith reports:
I was one of the seven men who were sent as a delegation from our tribe to the Prophet, peace be upon him. When we entered the mosque and spoke to him, he was pleased with our appearance. He asked us what we were. We said: "We are believers." The Prophet smiled and said: "Every statement must have a substance. What is the substance of your statement and your beliefs?" Our answer was: "Fifteen characteristics, five of which we were ordered to believe in by your messengers, and five we were ordered by them to implement, and five were part of our moral code, prior to Islam, which we still maintain unless you reject any of them."
The Prophet asked: "What are the five in which my messengers have ordered you to believe?" We said: "They have ordered us to believe in
1) God,
2) His angels,
3) His books,
4) His messengers and
5) Resurrection after death."
The Prophet asked: "What are the five that my messengers have ordered you to implement?" We said:
1) "They have ordered us to declare that there is no deity other than God,
2) to attend regularly to our prayers,
3) to pay Zakat,
4) to fast in the month of Ramadan and
5) offer pilgrimage to the House if we are able to do so."
The Prophet then asked us: "And what are the five which you have adopted in pre-Islamic days?" Our answer was:
1) To be thankful in times of plenty and
2) to be patient in times of trial, and
3) to accept the turns of fate, and
4) to show our commitment and dedication when we meet the enemy, and
5) not to express pleasure at misfortunes befalling our enemy."
The Prophet commented: "These people are wise and learned. Indeed, they are so wise that they approach the degree of Prophets." He then said: "I am adding five more qualities so that you have 20 in all. If
you are truly as you have described, then
1) do not accumulate what you cannot eat,
2) do not build houses you shall not use for living,
3) do not compete for something you are leaving behind tomorrow,
4) have fear of God, to Whom you shall return and be accountable,
5) and look forward to what you are certainly facing and that in which you shall remain forever."
[Ibn Kathir, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah]
