A very interesting talk Yasir Qadhi covering events that shaped our wrorld that took place a century ago.

A must watch for everyone.

This week there was meant to be a peace conference to try and solve the syrian situation. There has been much wrangling over who will attend. First the rebels said they wouldn't attend. then they said they would.

Then it transpired that Iran wasnt invited. Then it was. Then it confirmed that it will attend. Then the rebels said that they won't attend. Then the invitation to Iran was withdrawn. Now Assad may decide to withdraw.

Unconnected countries like Mexico are allowed to attend but not Iran...

While this was going on, Qatar, a major backer of regime change in Syria had commissioned a UK agency to prepare a report on attrocities commited by the regime. It decided that today was the right day to release the report (pdf).

Assalamu'alaikum y'all

i've been keeping a cursort interest in the "Australis" interface that is being developed as the new interface for firefox. It looks both interesting and different.

Recently I have not been too much a fan of different or change, so I was a little wary over this new interface.

The number 7 seems to appear numerous times in Islamic text. This recent realisation has made this association extremely fascinating.. 

1- 7 circumambulation (Ta’waf) around the Kaa’bah during Hajj

2- 7 walks (back and forth) between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah

3- 7 heavens

4- When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was taken to heaven during Miraj he reported to have seen an angel with 70 000 heads, each head having 70 000 mouths, each mouth having 70 000 tongues and each tongue speaking 70 000 languages; all involved in reciting the praises of Allah Almighty (can't remember the reference for this)

5- 7 pebbles to be used each time for stoning of the Jamarat’

6- 70 000 angels write good deeds for one who recites durood shareef

1- Try to identify the stressor

2- Take control

3- Have some 'me' time

4- Challenge yourself

5- Stay positive 

6- Connect with others

7- Avoid unhealthy habits (like tea and sleeping)

8- Work smarter, not harder

9- Accept the things you can't change

10- Manage your time effectively

Feel free to add to the list. Or not.
