Lunar Eclipse - Shooting Spy Satellite - MalcomX

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Approximately at 9.01 pm CT (Nashville time), we got the chance to see the total lunar eclipse eventhough it was cloudy (yet right now it is almost raining). Subhanallah... solat sunat gerhana tak??

US is about to shoot a damaged US spy satellite, supposedly early Wednesday (yesterday), but was shot at around 10.26 pm ET (Eastern time). One of a military spy device was shot.. is it going to slow them down? (some of the words at the FoxNews)

Tonight, Vandy students are invited to attend a lecture delivered by Dr. Amir Al-Hadid titled 'How Islam Affected the Movement: MalcomX'. Be sure to be at SC4309 at 8 pm if you are in Nashville area!

Istaghfiruu katheera~

"Truly, Allah loves those who repent, and He loves those who cleanse themselves."
[Al-Baqarah 2:222]

We need istighfar to constantly purify and cleanse our heart. We are not born in sin, but we are born in weakness...

O Allah! You are my Lord. There is no God except You. You created me and I am Your slave. To the best of my ability, I will abide by my covenant and pledge to You. I seek Your protection from the evil of my own creation. I acknowledge Your favors to me and I admit my sins. So please forgive me for no one can forgive sins except You."

La taghdhab, La tahzan... Syaitan is around when angriness and sadness are in the heart.

Penghulu Istighfar

Pengampunan Allah tetap lebih besar walau setinggi mana dosa-dosa sekalipun.
Allahumma rahmataka arju...

A poem

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

I don't remember whether I've already put this before (I'm too lazy to check all the entries back), but here it is for us to ponder... This poem was written 1-2 years ago.

This poem was written by HAFSA ABED, one of NAMY (Nashville Association of Muslim Youth) members.

Love is everything,
Yet hate is more?

Love is taken for granted,
While heart is forsaken?

War is right,
Yet peace is wrong?

Friends are first,
While family is last?

Rich are more,
While poor are less?

Friendship is everything,
Family is nothing?

Why?

Everyone hates,
But no one loves?

Life is cruel,
With no exceptions?

Why must we live,
When everything is dying?

Why must we take life for granted,
When really life takes us for granted?

Why must we live lies,
When truth is so much easier?

Why?

Do reflect to yourself every EACH of the question.. Why do the people seem to change the way the world goes round?
