If you happen to be in Mpls this weekend this is your chance to increase your Iman by attending a Muxadara in Masjid Ummatu Muxamad on 315 E.Lake St. It is going to be this coming Saturday 3/25/06 from 4:30-10:30. A wide range of topics will be covered InshaAllah by at least five different sheikhs. Dinner will also be served. I attended the one they did last year and it was well worth the time as it really touched my soul. Even if you can't make it for whatever reason do invite others to come and take part in the ajar.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-Roseville Qur’an Trashing Incident UPDATE (Minneapolis, MN - March 21st, 2006) A prominent national & Minnesota based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group met with Roseville Area High School and Roseville Area School District officials on Monday, March 20th to discuss recent Islamophobic remarks by school librarian Gregory Martinson, who claimed last Thursday that the Quran “encourages terrorism,†and therefore belonged in the trash. The Muslim American Society-Freedom Foundation (MAS-FF) Civil and Legal Rights Department spoke with Roseville Area High School Principal Connie Nicholson, the Roseville Area School District Superintendent, and school librarian Gregory Martinson and reached a tentative agreement on how to address the offensive conduct. All participants from the Roseville Area School District, including the school principal and librarian, immediately apologized for their conduct and stressed that the actions did not reflect the vision of the Roseville School District. The school officials indicated a sincere desire to work with the Muslim community to insure that there are no further incidents of this nature in the future. School officials recognized the misconduct and have pledged to take internal steps to address any problems that continue to exist. A formal agreement including diversity and sensitivity training for staff members is in the process of being finalized. MAS-FF would like to thank the entire Muslim community for their support in addressing this incident. Thanks to the overwhelming response from the Muslim community and the tentative agreement and apology, MAS-FF requests that the community no longer contact the school by phone regarding the incident. MAS-FF will issue an update to the community when a finalized resolution has been reached. Once again, MAS-FF would like to sincerely thank the community for their efforts.

JZK for sharing this. Please let everyone take a minute to either call or e-mail. Let your voice make a difference. How irresponsible and insensitive that teacher is! :mad:

Often while running around in our busy lives we hardly pay any attention of how much we need Allah (S.W). Imagine when someone asks you for something and you give it to them. A little while later they ask you for something else and you oblige them....third or fourth time comes and you give while gritting you teeth. How about the 5th or 6th time? You would be hard pressed not to explode in frustration right? Today while at work something happened to me that threw me off balance for a while, fortunately it was resolved in a little bit and it turned out to be not as bad as I thought but it got me thinking about these verses that I have read/heard countless times in a new way Surah Rahman [29] Of Him seeks (its need) every creature in the heavens and on earth: every day in (new) Splendour doth He (shine)! How overwhelming it is to think of all the things that we ask of Allah each day even when we don't ask verbally but hope/wish for something to happen or not. Now add that to all the other blessings that we get for free like a simple breath we take or the steady beating of our hearts. Adding every living creature in the heavens and Earth is mind blowing to say the least. I know everyone knows this but how often do we pause in our busy schedules to reflect on this. May Allah give us this awareness IA. What better way to do this than reflect on the verses of this wonderful book that never ceases to amaze.
