3. What are you watching?
Don’t watch TV. But I took my kids to see the movie Thor recently.

4. What technology are you rocking?
Oh boy…PC laptop, iPad when away from the laptop, and Blackberry all the time.

Seriously, best advice I’ve got is “Put your trust in Allah, and do your best.”

  Do you mean Thor ‘the God of Thunder’ ?
  Are we, the people of Tawheed, allowed to watch such a movie? Does not the title blatantly tell us what it’s about?
  
  The rest of the things you are doing,as listed, are great – mA!
  
  Especially from hollywood – please can you tell us about any good halal movies we can watch? Would love to watch them with my kids.
  
  Some brothers and sisters on this website (different threads) share things that they are doing which are commendable and halal, but at the same time, they seem to broadcast doubtful, disliked or maybe haram things that they are involved in, is this a good thing?

The Shaykh seems very uncomfortable and unfocused. I’m not sure if it was because he was interviewed by a woman or had to squeeze in this interview on a very busy day. However he doesn’t seem like his usual self.
