Twilight

This images were taken in January (yep, 2 months ago) at the back of my house. The same time I was shooting for the Cirrus cloud image if I'm not mistaken. As usual it was using my 1.3MP camera. This is during twilight (at dusk). Twilight marks the transition between day time and night time. I thought I want to capture the beauty and share it with the rest of the world. Err..eventhough the images are actually quite blurry (thanks to my low resolution camera). But whatever..Allah truly is Great.

Some interesting fact on twilight:

• It is refer to as "blue hour" by photographer or painter due to the quality of light at the time.
• Twilight on Mars is longer than Earth (last up to 2 hours)
• It is sacred in Hinduism where many rituals are held.
• It is called 'cow dust time' in Hindi.

He created the heavens and the earth truthfully. He rolls the night over the day, and rolls the day over the night.* He committed the sun and the moon, each running for a finite period. Absolutely, He is the Almighty, the Forgiving. (Az-Zumar, 39:5)

Horseshoe Crab

So last month when I was doing some course project at the nearby beach, I get to see horseshoe crabs which was released by some of the final year students there. They're using them for a final year project earlier. This is my first time seeing an alive one, so I was very excited. I'd like to share some info on horseshoe crab with all of you,

Kingdom: Animalia.

Phylum: Arthropoda (joint-legged animals)

Class: Merostomata (mouth surrounded by legs)

Order: Xiphosurida (sword-tailed animals)

Famili: Limulidae (from Latin Limulus: somewhat odd, oblique)

Interesting Facts on Horseshoe Crab:

• They have blue blood.
• One of the primitive animals that haven't extinct.
• Earliest fossils found are 45 million years old. 
• Has changed remarkably little in the last 250 million years.
• Reach sexual maturity between 9 to 12 years of age.

  I'd the chance to record the event, below is the video (forgive the noise..)

**All images and video is taken using 1.3MP camera which explain their lack of sharpness and clearity.

I want the world to know these words from the daughter of a Martyr.

http://www.abna.ir/data.asp?lang=3&id=232802


ALLAH IS GREAT.
ALLAH IS GREAT.
ALLAH IS GREAT.

[Qasas 28:50] So if they do not accept your challenge, then know that they only follow their desires; and who is more astray than one who follows his desires away from the guidance of Allah? Indeed Allah does not guide the unjust.


[Qasas 28:58] And how many towns did We destroy which had stooped to self indulgence! So here lie their dwellings, uninhabited after them except a little; and only We are the Inheritors.


[Qasas 28:77] “And seek the abode of the Hereafter with the wealth that Allah has given you, and do not forget your part in this world, and do favours (to others) the way Allah has favoured you, and do not seek to cause turmoil in the earth; indeed Allah does not like the mischievous.”

Lesson from Quran.


Recently, I came across some verses from Quran which I felt the message are really close to what's happening in our world and which we can relate to them. They are from Surah Al-Qasas,



Pharaoh



"But if they answer you not (i.e. do not believe in your doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, nor follow you), then know that they only follow their own lusts. And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, without guidance from Allah? Verily! Allah guides not the people who are Zalimun (wrong-doers, disobedient to Allah, and polytheists)."

-Al-Qasas, 28: 50-



Pompeii



and another one,



"And never will your Lord destroy the towns (populations) until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses. And never would We destroy the towns unless the people thereof are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, oppressors and tyrants)."

-Al-Qasas, 28:59-



Regarding to the chaos our world is in right now, maybe we should go back to what Quran teach us and re-learn the lesson and warning taught by Allah.

The truth on what is happening in Bahrain.

Wanna find out what happen to the protester in Bahrain? See the photo here: http://tehranifaisal.blogspot.com/2011/03/jenazah-ahmad-farhan.html and here: http://tehranifaisal.blogspot.com/2011/03/jenazah-ahmed-abdullah-hassan.html.

You know what, sadly, yes sadly, even Muslims themselves don't want to help their brothers and sisters who are suffering there, barely alive to keep the justice uphold. They are neglected. Be it by the mainstream media nor the Muslim leader in other countries. Up until now, only Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkey Prime Minister had voice his support to the oppressed people of Bahrain. The rest of the Muslim leaders? None. Know what the reason? Because of some stupid lame excuse such as sectarian differences. I'm asking you, SINCE WHEN THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD ACKNOWLEDGE DIFFERENCES/ DISCRIMINATION IN FIGHTING AGAINST INJUSTICE AND OPPRESSION???

Seriously, all this time those Shiite in Iran and Lebanon whose whole-heartly fighting and undividedly supporting the oppressed people in Palestine/ Egypt/ Libya, have it ever crossed their mind that those people are Sunni?? Those millions of dollar provided by Iranian people for the Palestine movement, have they ever raise any secretarian issue in  helping those people -whom, may I remind you, are mostly Sunni -?? Some people, or should I say lots of people, are so dumb to see a far bigger issue here. They rather divide among themselves because of their ego than to realize that Zionist & co. are laughing their heart out when Muslims divide among themselves. PLEASE, ENOUGH ALREADY. FORGET THOSE SECRETARIAN DIFFERENCES, LET US COME HAND IN HAND, BE IT SUNNI OR SHIITE OR ANYTHING AS LONG AS YOU"RE MUSLIM, WE ARE ONE, UNITE INTO ONE ENTITY - ISLAM. DON'T LET THE ENEMY FOOL YOU. Remember, remember, remember, our destruction is their winning. Our unity is their doom.
