Iran Leader: Hajj symbol of Monotheism

Mon Nov 15, 2010

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has described the annual Hajj pilgrimage as a symbol of monotheism and spirituality.

"During the Hajj season, the Ka'ba, which is the secret to unity and dignity, and the symbol of monotheism and spirituality, hosts enthusiastic and hopeful individuals, who converge on the birthplace of Islam, from across the world in response to God Almighty's invitation," said the Leader in a message on the occasion of the annual Hajj rituals.

Living on a Prayer

Heres a really good article someone sent me:

[quote]The dua can change our life, our outlook, and our fate. It is the most potent weapon of a believer.
By Khalid Baig

Once Prophet Muhammad passed by a people who were suffering from some affliction. "Why don't they make dua (pray ) to Allah for protection," he said. With all the suffering and disasters Muslims are facing in various parts of the world, the question can be directed to all of us today.

Explanation of Surah Ahqaf

“Our people, respond to the one who calls you to Allah. Believe in Him: He will forgive you your sins and protect you from a painful torment”
[Al Ahqaaf: 31]

Al Ahqaaf is the 46th chapter of the Qur’an, a Makkan surah revealed around the 10th year of Prophethood, during the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) return from his infamous journey to Ta’if, where he was rejected and abused by the people. It is in the context of the ‘year of sorrow’ where he (upon him be peace) was going through great personal difficulty that this surah was revealed by Allah, as a reassurance to him and the believers, and a warning to those who reject the message.

Toasty Marshmallow Milkshake

Are you one of those people who perfectly toasts their marshmallows to a golden brown?

How on earth do you do that!? I don’t get it. You must have the patience of a marshmallow saint.

I’m a burn-and-blow kind of guy. Turn the marshmallow into a torch… blow it out… repeat.

The patience technique baffles me. In fact… I secretly looooove to brush my marshmallow torch against the slow rollers and set their marshmallows on fire. They totally hate that.

Marshmallow meets open flame… it’s important in this recipe. I had no idea that this whole Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake was a thing. Amazing. Spike Mendelsohn… that dude from Top Chef invented this thing. Nice work. High five.
