'Supermoon' Tonight! Tips to See Year's Biggest Full Moon-If the full
moon looks a bit bigger and brighter in tonight's sky, you're not
seeing things: It's just the "supermoon" — the biggest moon of 2012.
And there's a meteorshower from Halley's comet peaking tonight, too,
adding to the sky show.
The full moon of May will hit its peak overnight tonight and early
Sunday (May 5 and 6) just one minute after the moon makes its closest
approach to Earth. The timing means the moon, weather permitting,
could appear up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than the
average full moon, an event scientists have nicknamed the "supermoon."
The moon will be at its fullest at 11:35 p.m. EDT (0335 Sunday GMT)
just after hitting perigee, the point in its orbit that brings the
moon closest to Earth. The technical name for the event is a "perigee
moon," though NASA and other scientists have dubbed May's full moon as
the supermoon of 2012.
The moon will be about 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometers) from Earth,
about 12.2 percent closer to our planet than when the moon is at
apogee, its farthest point. The average Earth-moon distance is about
230,000 miles (384,400 km).
The last time a supermoon occurred was in March 2011. That supermoon
wasactually closer to Earth than the moon will be tonight by about 248
miles(400 km)

Story - Past Event:-/ :-> 'Subhanallah'

If His benevolence, reward, blessing and goodness has no end when all
of these are a consequence and result of His pleasure, whatthen of
this attribute of His pleasure? It is related in a tradition, 'If I
bless, there is no end to my blessing.' What then of the quality from
where this blessing emanated? Pleasure necessitates love, benevolence,
generosity, kindness, pardon, ṣafḥ, forgiveness and mercy.
Juwayriyyah, the mother ofthe believers, may Allāh pleased with her,
related that the Prophet, may Allāhsend peace and blessings upon him,
left her sitting inher place of prayer one morning after having prayed
Fajr. On his return during the forenoon he found her still sitting as
he had left her, he asked
, 'Are you still in the same state as when I left you?' She replied,
'Yes'. The Prophet said, 'I said after leaving you four sentences
three times - if you were toweigh them against what you have said
today up until now, they would outweigh them: Subḥānallāh wa biḥamdihi
'adada khalqihi wa riḍā nafsihi wa zinata 'arshihi wa midāda
kalimātihi'."[ [1]
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, provided a commentary
onthese words of remembrance in one of his works, al-Manār al-Munīf
fi'l-Ṣaḥīḥ wa'l-Ḍa'īf [2] He says:
In regards to the multifold excellence of, "How perfect Allāh is and I
praise him by the number of His creation;by the pleasure of His self;
by the weight of His throneand by the ink of His words," over simply
saying,"How perfect Allāh is," a praiser's knowledge of Allāh and the
exaltation and veneration of Him thatoccurs in his heart is far
greater. This is known as intensified remembrance (dhikr muḍā'af) and
is a superior form of praise than simple remembrance (dhikr mufrad),
and as suchthe former is preferred to the latter. This really takes
affect once one has awareness and understanding of these words of
remembrance.

Qur'an Ayath - Explanation :-/:-> ECONOMIC RIGHTS for MUSLIM WOMEN

The Qur'an states: "by the creation of the male and female: Verily
[the ends] ye strive for are diverse"(92:3-4)
In these verses, God declares that he created men and women to be
different, with unique roles, functions and skills. As in society,
where there is a division of labor so too in a family, each member has
different responsibilities. Generally, Islam upholds that woman are
entrusted with the nurturing role, and men, with the guardian role.
Therefore woman are given the right of financial support.
The Qur'an states: "Men arethe maintainers of woman because Allah has
made some of them to excel others and because they spend of their
wealth (for the support of woman" (4:34)
This guardianship and greater financial responsibility is given to men
requires that they provide women with not only monetary support
butalso physical protection and kind and respectful treatment.
Muslim woman have the privilege to earn money, the right to own
property, to enter into legal contracts and to manage all of her
assets in any way she pleases. She can run her own business and no one
has any claim on her earnings including her husband. The Quran states:
"and in no wise covet those things in which Allah hath bestowed his
gifts more freely on someof you than on others: to men is allotted
what theyearn and to woman whatthey earn: but ask Allah of his bounty
for Allah hath full knowledge of allthings." (4:32)
