"I'll do my isya' later, after sahur."
How can you be so sure that you'll wake up the next morning?
I was taken aback. It became clear to me that she's suffering from an illness so familiar.

The cashier at DC shop greeted me with 'Assalamu'alaikum' just now. I was surprised taken aback! You see, as i was queuing, i noticed that é cashier on duty was a Malay guy with goatee. I immediately made a mental check note not to look at him when i reached the counter.
So there i was, lightly pushing my 4 paper bags of Red Bean Bun to the cashier counter. I was looking somewhere else when that brother said his Salam. Wa'alaikumussalam, i answered, giving him a small, awkward smile.
The first thing that crossed my mind was, 'okayyy..'. Not wanting to have su'uzzhon. Maybe he gives Salam to every customer who he sees/thinks is a Muslim.
And then a new thought popped,'wow..wouldnt that be a gracious, courteous thing to do: giving salam to every Muslim customer he encounters? He would be fulfilling sunnah, easily, many times everyday!'
So, yeah, i hope and pray that this person, whoever he is, continue this good act. And may he do well in his job.

1 item off my wishlist!
A second purchase frm amazon.com. ^_^
I am really grateful to my colleague who consented to using his address and then brought it back to Sg.
And the one-month wait.. it was worth it!
p.s. I also bought my first very own portable USB speaker together with those shoes. That makes 2 items off the List.

Saw this in Aisyah Tajudeen's FB timeline..
Allah...
And I am reminded of a particular sentence that formed in my head when I saw nenek Hasnah's lifeless body on the hospital bed and occasionally rings in my thoughts ever since:
"The body is nothing but a (empty) vessel"

CANADA: Canada’s Midnight Sun Mosque
By The Halal Journal Newsdesk (Source: OnIslam.net) published 3 months ago
Original Article Source: Islam Online
Filed Under: Entertainment
The fascinating story of the Midnight Sun Mosque, the world's northernmost mosque, is now being made into a documentary film by Canadian filmmakers, Saira and Nilufer Rahman.
The film, to be called Arctic Mosque, will tell the story of the 4,000 km journey the mosque took in 2010 from the prairie city of Winnipeg in the province of Manitoba where it was built, to Inuvik, the most northern town in Canada's Arctic.
The documentary will also offer a revealing portrait of Islamic life in the far north.
When we heard about the story of the mosque project, we immediately thought it was unusual and would definitely make a great story for a documentary, ” Saira Rahman told OnIslam.net.
Actually, two days before the mosque set out on its 4,000 km journey, Hussain Guisti, the general manager of the Zubaidah Tallab Foundation (the Canadian charity that sponsored the mosquebuilding), asked us if we'd be interested in making a film about the “Arctic Mosque”.
The small Muslim community in Inuvik could not afford to build a new mosque as prices for labour and materials in the arctic region are much higher than in southern parts of Canada.
The Zubaidah Tallab Foundation, a Manitoba-based Islamic charity, stepped in, raised funds and found a supplier of prefabricated buildings in Manitoba that said it could ship the building to Inuvik for half theprice of building a mosque from scratch in the town.
The epic journey of small prefabricated mosque grabbed international attention as it slowly made its way, by road and on a river barge, to its final destination.
Inuvik is in Canada's Northwest Territories and has a population of 3,600 people, about a hundred of who are Muslims.
Muslims have been migrating to smaller resource towns such as Inuvik in search of jobs and hoping for a better quality of life.
According the latest census numbers, the Muslim population of the Northwest Territories is growing at a rate of 300 per cent every decade,
Due to its northern location, Inuvik is called the ‘Light of the Midnight Sun' as it experiences an average of 56 days of continuous sunlight every summer and ,for almost 30 days, it is blanketed in complete darkness every winter.
The Muslims of Inuvik follow the prayer and fasting times of the city of Edmonton.
New Perception
The filmmakers are hoping to capture the drama of the mosque's odyssey and change the perception about Muslims in a world that often responds to mosques with fear and controversy.
We hope that people who watch the film will discover that this documentary is so much more than a story about the building of a mosque, ” Saira Rahman told OnIslam.net. “It's about the forging of a unique community- and we're not just talking about a unique Muslim community.”
Rahman says that the film will show the impact the mosque has made on the small town.
The Midnight Sun Mosque as it's been named has impacted the entire town of Inuvik and put it on the map, so to speak. We hope viewers will be inspired by the positive energy and community spirit that we witnessed while filming the documentary.”
The documentary is being co-produced by Buffalo Gal Pictures and Snow Angel Films, which is owned by the two sisters, Nilufer and Saira Rahman.
The sisters are currently in post production, going through 120 hours of footage, while seeking funding for the documentary.
They have launched an online campaign and the response has been encouraging.
After only three days of posting our trailer on YouTube, we got over 10,000 views, ” said Saira Rahman. “It's evident from the comments we get that people really want to see this film
