View Full Version : Ch4: 13 kids and wanting more
http://www.channel4.com/video/13-kids-and-wanting-more/catchup.html
Was on last night, I just watched it now on virgin tv on demand. It features a muslim family, from rochdale with 11 kids. The dads hilarious and the kids are WILD lool!!
Anyone watched it?
i thought it was brilliant :up: and that brother Muhammad may Allah reward him masha Allah, how they tried to degrade and humiliate him but masha Allah he kept to his belief and trust in almighty Allah, and he was firm on his deen in this matter alhamdulillah. he bought tears to my eyes how he spoke about the will of Allah, and the great love and affection he had with his children may Allah ta ala fill this ummah with many more amin. just beautiful masha Allah
I had a feeling this'd pop up on here somewhere :D MashAllah that family was happy! Althought I didn't get how he greeted that man on the street like they were old friends and then they were arguing? I mean, did they already know each other?

Poor Noreen. She bloody looks wasted. You'd think the husband would be understanding and put a cap on the pregnancies. Sheesh...the dude is :wacko: And the house looks a tip.

he's from rochdale. its normal for houses to look like that up there. :rotfl:
but then you understand later why he loves kids so much. his mum wanted a kid after him but she kept having miscarriages. finally she had a baby girl when he was 25. lol
What, writing on the wall? And 5 kids cramped in one bedroom is normal? :p

yes. he reminds me of my cousins. :coolbro:
Well he wasnt working so I guess its a council place.
I must admit, that a guy with 7 degrees, he could move some where nicer and get a job if liek he said, he cant find anythign suitable in Rochdale...
....I guess when you are paid more on benefits than working, why would you wanna work!!!
Poor wife did NOT look 35, more like 45. She was knackered.
Her hubby does have a kind heart though...unfortunately no common sense!

They are proper racist though up in rochdale. My cousins got made redudant and he's proper qualified for technical jobs but they wont give him a job. racists!! :torture:

True. He seemed like a nice chap, shame about him can't finding a job. He should move away elsewhere and try his luck. Better than living in a council fly tip and on benefits.

yeh, could really understand it when they said that. bc his dad wasnt there when he was small, and because he grew up as an only child he must have felt desperate to be a good dad himself and have alot of children.
he seems a nice person masha allah. atleast he was helping alot with all the kids, he hasnt left it all just to wife. its clear how much he loves them all.
may be difficult for the kids with so many and little room, but in other places conditions are worse. atleast they will be warm and comfy even when sharing. they seemed happy and okay..
and masha allah their little baby was cuteeee :inlove:

Bro
To be honest, if where your cousin lives is made difficult, why stay there; especially if there is that much racism.
Why dont ppl move and bring up their families somewhere less racist and at least that bit easier to get a job.
The guy on TV would have no problems in getting a job down south.
I dont understand why asians dont move. Our parents generation moved all the way from Pak/India....our generation seem like cowards they cant even relocate within country.

Russo you might be meeting with cowards but dont speak about my family like that. He aint moving cos he cant afford to move anywhere else, and he likes rochdale and he needs to be close to his parents to look after them. Not the whole of rochdale is racist, lol, they got half of dadyal walking around there. But still, about finding a decent job the white man in lancashire is supreme.

Well, attention needs to be divided between children. Maybe someone should consult the children an ask 'do you want less attention' aka mummy and daddy to have another child? People complain about parents getting child minders in, but... with 15 or so kids you'll certainly need some help!

k. gud gud. The reason I asked is because Abu Turab and Um Turab are not unknown titles amongst shi'tes.
