Persistance

Once there was a man who woke up very early to go to Fajr prayer. He got dressed and started walking to the masjid when he triped and fell and got himself dirty. Then he went home to change his dirty clothes and wear fresh ones to pray. On his way to the masjid the second time he tripped and fell and dirtied his clothes. He was persistent to pray so he went home to change his clothes and get ready to go to prayer. The third time he went to the masjid a man with a lantern was standing and guided him to the masjid upon arriving to the masjid the man with the lantern was walking away when he was doing this the other man said why are you leaving come and pray. He said i cant i am a jinn. The righteous man was astonished at hearing this so he asked the man why did you help me come to the masjid. The man said that he made him fall the first time because he was certain that when he fell and got dirty he would certainly not come back to the masjid. But you did return to go to the masjid because of this Allah (swt) forgave all your sins. Then the second time i tripped you i was certain there was no way you would return to go to the masjid. But you did because of this Allah (swt) forgave all your family's sins. I was afraid that if you were to be tripped a third time that you would return and Allah (swt) would forgive the sins of your coming family as well. Upon hearing this the man was astonished.

Going Green

It seems nowadays that everyone everywhere is trying to go green to help the environment. Imagine climbing 276 steps to change a light bulb well that exactly what, operations mechanic, Rian Harford does. And it not just any light bulb it is a light bulb that belongs to air traffic control light that sits upon a wind turbine. The wind turbine is on the top of Jimmy Peak Mountain Resort in Massachusetts. The wind turbine was build after someone suggested to take advantage of the wind that blows during the winter and since the resort is most active during winter it was a win win. But this idea was not that simple to accomplish many factors were taken into consideration. I think the economy has pressured everyone to cut back and in a way that has helped the environment.

International Inflation

The economic crisis is not just in the US even once prosperous Japan has suffered from there greatest drop in industrial output ever. Its production fell about 10 percent in January since its importers cut back due to economic crisis they've been having too. Due to this demand for Japanese cars and electronics have gone done and the unemployment rate has gone up the numbers of jobless people rose from 210,000 to 2.77 million in January alone! Tent cities have been popping up everywhere to house the jobless and homeless. Such unemployment has made people homeless and lose hope people are just accepting defeat. If this isn't fixed fast people will start rebelling and other people might get hurt.



Here is a man who rented a net room as a temporary home so he won't become homeless.

Massive Grave

Around 40 people all wearing uniforms believed to be army officers were found in a mass grave inside the headquarters of the Bangladesh Rifles paramilitary in the capital, Dhaka, this Friday. At least 62 officers have been found dead since mutinous actions by paramilitary Bangladesh Rifles. The reason these troops rebelled was because of the many years grievances were being ignored. These rebellions have led to the death of around 62 officers. This was all because of the poor treatment they had to there troops. This prooves that poverty is the roots of all sorts of violence, if everyone was equal like in Islam there would be peace.

Bombers Intercepted

One day before U.S. President Barack Obama's Canadian visit last week, Canadian fighter jets intercepted two Russian bombers near Canadian air space. Canadian air space scrambled to set out f-18 fighters from NORAD, which is the North American Aerospace Defense Command,which is a joint U.S.-Canadian agency in charge of aerospace control for the North American continent. The Russian bombers were said to be in international waters the Russian Embassy claims that this was just a routine flight over international airspace. If you ask me a conspiracy theory will come soon and since America always has to hate someone. Don't get your hopes up but i think next on the hate list is Russia so we might get a break =).

The high-capacity hard drives that made up the bulk of MP3 players in 2005 have given way to the leaner, tougher, and more expensive flash memory modules found in today's mobile devices. The flash memory revolution gives slimmer more reliable devices, but the best part is that they give you 30 gigabytes or more of storage. People just seem to love extra space. One of these amazing new 32 GB MP3 players is the Apple iPod (second generation). It is thinner and more sturdy then the previous iPods and has been made more user friendly.
