Meeting cancelled
Found an interesting article about the U.S. Presbyterian church divesting in companies that support Israel. It was interesting to read the reaction because 13 congressmen and various powerful jewish organizations are preparing to strike back. I just hope the church stands by its decision. Its amazing how any kind of criticism of Israel draws such a strong reaction compared to the feeble responses to the death of hundres of muslims. http://arabnews.com/?page=4§ion=0&article=54745&d=20&m=11&y=2004
It was nice to hear that Sudan rebels came to a truce but then again is this just a formality that is going to be ignored on the ground. UN observers should be placed to ensure proper implementataion.
MAC meeting got cancelled. It would have really helped to finalize things for tommorrow but Allah willed it this way. I just hope there is no confusion or disorganization tommorrow at the event. I hate having disorganization at islamic events because it comes off as looking bad for the whole community and especially in a dawa'h oriented event like the boyle st. dinner.
Read a beautiful hadeeth yesterday:

Read a beautiful hadeeth yesterday:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions (i.e. a superior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the West on the horizon; all that is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards)." On that the people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which nobody else can reach? The Prophet replied," No! "By Allah in whose Hands my life is, these are for the men who believed in Allah and also believed in the Apostles."
