I really love these two men for the sake of Allah!
China to build Mecca rail system
China has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia to build a new railway system linking the main sites of the annual Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj.
The new railway will connect the city of Mecca with the pilgrim destinations of Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah.
Saudi Arabia also plans to build a high-speed rail link to take pilgrims from Mecca to Medina, Islam’s two holiest cities, in 30 minutes.
The journey time by road can take anywhere between four and five hours.
Millions of Islamic faithful descend on Mecca during the annual mass pilgrimage.
The new network in Saudi Arabia is expected to be ready within three years, with one section of the line due to be completed in time for the 2010 Hajj, officials said.
The contract, worth almost $1.8bn (£1.24bn), was awarded to the China Railway Company and a French firm.
The project was announced during a three-day visit by the Chinese President, Hu Jintao, to Saudi Arabia.
China is becoming a key contractor on infrastructure projects in the oil-rich kingdom.
Even bad Muslims are more religious than other followers of different faiths.
At a recent event, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf presented a new paper, titled “Climbing Mount Purgatorio: Reflections from the Seventh Cornice”. The event was The Social Costs of Pornography, a consultation organized by the Witherspoon Institute at Princeton University. This event was held in December 2008…

British teenagers are working on army bases across Israel after being asked to help by the IDF.
The army approached the FZY youth movement, along with its American sister group Young Judea, to ask if participants on its year programme could volunteer. Teens from the religious Zionist movement, B’nei Akiva, also volunteered. Some IDF bases had been understaffed as soldiers were deployed to Gaza. The teenagers began working on eight bases across Israel on Sunday, packing kits for soldiers in Gaza, checking equipment for faults and monitoring stocks.
Gemma Geffin from London, 19, said: “We are spending our days packing the kits for the soldiers who are going into Gaza. Before we came I didn’t realise how much our presence here is directly helping the country.”
Sofia Lever, 19, from London, described it as “amazing”.
What happens when Muslims volunteer? Oh wait, nevermind.
Props to Ecuador:
The president of Ecuador has ordered a US embassy official to leave after accusing him of meddling in local police projects, a move likely to fray ties with Washington.
President Rafael Correa said during his weekly media address on Saturday: “Foreign minister, give this gentleman 48 hours to pack up his suitcases and get out of the country”.
How many US officials have been meddling in Muslim affairs and nothing has been done. It’s amazing how the countries in South America are stepping up to the big bully.
May Allah protect and help the innocent people!
The president said:
In Islam, there is a hadith that reads ‘None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.‘ And the same is true for Buddhists and Hindus; for followers of Confucius and for humanists.
It is, of course, the Golden Rule -– the call to love one another; to understand one another; to treat with dignity and respect those with whom we share a brief moment on this Earth.
Looks like Abu Obama did teach him something.
Urban Outfitters is selling a “Leather And Rope Bracelet” here. I really have no idea why the Allah in Arabic is on there nor do I even know why they fail to mention it in the products description. Shout out t0 Muslim in America for sharing this with me.
Here are some more pictures of it:
