… whenever the leaf changes there’s got to be some reflection and thus I’m/we’re reflecting …
One of the first principles of what we’re taught in SunniPath is to make sure that we spell it right - it’s not sunnipath or Sunnipath but it’s SunniPath - in case you missed the point, there’s a capital “S” and a capital “P”. The next principal is to make sure that you serve others and in doing so you’ll be serving yourself. And another principal, if you’re in Shaykh AbdulKareems class, is to say “we” or “she/he” when referring to “me” rather than the nafsee me and nafsee I. Got it?
So based on these three principles you can imagine the shock and horror this British lass was subjected to when she found this mugshot:
OH MY GOSH>>>
a) there’s no capital “P” - 
b) hold on, you Jordanians had a cake without us?! Right where’s the British SP clan - let’s get together and make a huge cake and scoff it down ourselves.
c) there’s only 5 people in SunniPath?! Am wondering if they’ve all got multiple personality disorders cos I swear I was talking to Sidi Imran, Sidi Ismael, Sidi Besim, Sidi Abdullah, Sidi Mumen, Sidi Farid one day about creativity/IT/learning issues… or were they all just one CD but with different kuffis on?
And maybe Sister Muzlefa, Sister Saudah, Sister Khadija, Sister Naielah, Sister Danya, and Sister Huma are all one sister with different coloured hijabs… they all sound so similar 
And then that would leave the final “3″ - erm my calculations don’t sum up to “5″… we’re now left confused.
d) are we expecting the “SunniPath 5″ comic to come out? cos it kinda reminds me of Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five” and they went on boat trips and stuff which was pretty cool.
Ah well, whatever occurs us Brits will be ready for you… she and her currently non-existent army of loony Brit SunniPath’ers. In fact I’m going to start recruiting now - the first mission is to make a cake that is bigger than what SP made… who wants to join me?

assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah,
I confess, the “Sunnipath” was my fault because I assumed that everyone in the world MUST know that it’s SunniPath. So when putting in the order for the cake, I didn’t bother to specify.
The 5 is for the anniversary, not how many people. I assure you, we aren’t just 5 people masquerading as many.
But I think the “SunniPath 5″ comic is a great idea
And you’re welcome to fly me down for that big cake, so long as it’s chocolate

Insha’Allah that can be discussion for another post. We’re still in reflection and trying to get a cake baked…
