So lets begin with what the whole thing of the 'Foire musulmane de Bruxelles (FMB)' was about:
It was organised by young people of de 'Gedis' and the 'La ligue musulmane de Blegique' and it came for the first time here in Belgium from France (where it exists since 30 years now).
The reason of this Fare, why it took place are: I quote:
'Show the diversity of the Muslim creation in all its forms and aspects.
Highlight the originality and authenticity of Muslim productions and innovations.
Marvel visitors who will enjoy the many events, conferences and parties of the Fair.'
I was just amazed to the whole festivity thing, I mean I never sow a so beautiful scenery EVER before in my whole life, I mean not even during the festivities in the mosques :)
I'll try to explain how I felt and how I saw the Fare and all what I did during the weekend (because it were unfortunately the only two days that I could go there but it was still AMAAAA_Z_INGGg :)
{By the way it are all my pics ^^}
So let's begin from the start we are Saturday in the early afternoon so let the festivities beginn ^^
When we went to Tour en Taxis there were brothers standing at the entrance and distributing some flyers about a bit everything (like the tours to go to Mekka etc.) at the end of the two days I had that much flyers that I didn't wanted to look at them anymore :/ :s (but who cares anyway :)
The first thing we sow when we went inside were all the warm colors, it was beautiful and there were like I don't know 10-20 sisters and brothers standing there and ready to help you for ANY-thing and they were always smiling, always helpful, really liked their hospitality!
[at the same time I would like to thank all the persons that were behind this, it was just beautiful, insALlah Allah stw will grant you like you'd like to and even more for all your efforts!]
There were a lot of stands and the first one was something about introducing Arabic banking in Belgium (Adefi), because a lot of Muslims want that and actually also need that kind of banking you know (like for when we want to buy a house or a car or you know the expensive things :p).
The thing that also took my intention were the candy that they put there, it's in the culture :) 'Ikram'
who wants some candy?! ^^
Then we went to the next stand and I just sow the most beautiful thing on earth: a Koran written in Braille. I swear it is just beautiful, it comes from France (Institut Paris Eglantine) and that just 'opened my eyes' (I know but yes, I was completely amazed ^^ )
SubhanALlah, beautiful isn't it :) ^^
Afterwards we just, you know did the round of the stands, here are some:
So this brothers wrote a book in Dutch and French about what Islam really is and why we do some things that non-Muslim people could not understand. They gave it away for free and it's a beautiful book. They actually also did wrote this book (3 brothers) because of the fuss that was (is?!) going on about you know the movie about our Beloved pbuh and the hate that is be spreading. They hope people will stop with the 'Islamophobia'.
THIS IS THE PICTURE THAT SHOWS THE AMBIANCE that was there, for me this is the most beautiful picture that actually tells a lot.
For who wants to learn the Islamic sciences here in Brussels :) :
HELP SYRIA:
auhh momaa ^^
Ikram :) Syrian candies :) ^^
Random
Okay afterwards we went to a stand that took our attention: 1330
What is it about?! Well when we buy a shirt the money we give to it goes to rebuilt the University of Gaza. 1330 refers to the numbers of victims that were killed .. ^^
HALAL CANDYYYYYH!!!!! ^^
We were waiting for TARIQ RAMADAN, what a man!
when I'll have more time one day I'll take the time to explain a bit more about everything that was said during the speeches, because they were just VERY interesting ^^
Tariq Ramadan also autographed our books, so it was exciting you know :))
I also said (but I'm not sure he heard what I said because of all the noise) That I appreciated that he could combine 'Engagement' with 'Religion' because I went to a lot of debates about it but it was the first time I hear a combination of the two. ANd it was just a revelation :p

The next day I went on my own because I wanted to listen to the speeches and good I did because they were very interesting as I said before ^^
(oh yeah and if you wanted to visit all the stands and the shops I guaranty you that one day wasn't enough!)
Here are some speakers I listened to on Sunday,
Cheikh Saad Al Brik: 'The prophet Muhammed of mercy'
Henri Goldman + Someone of Amnesty International + a Jurist: 'A barely veiled discrimination'
Cheikh Abdelfattah Marou
Hassan Iquioussen: 'Being Muslim, an everyday engagement'
As I said , when I'll have more time I'll explain a bit about the themes^^
And of course what would be a Muslim without prayer ..
And food?!! :D ^^
And of indeed what would the Umma be without our Beloved Prophet pbuh, so there was a space dedicated for our Beloved pbuh, just watch and enjoy the pictures I will say ^^
So it's a beautiful place that's always full of visitors and that contains a lot of beautiful Korans and so on^^
Ouhoud war
Yes it was beautiful I also got a video that shows the house of our Beloved pbuh (for those who want to see it, just ask :) ^^
So here I ended those two fulfilling, beautiful, amazing (I don't know how to express it^^) days, I actually missed the Friday and the Monday, but Next year insALlah I'll be there :D
Love, Young SOul ^^
