News:-> 154 Injured in Balloon Explosion in Yerevan

Video footage of the accident at the political rally in Yerevan.
Gas-filled balloons exploded at a campaign rally in the Armenian
capital of Yerevan on Friday, injuring 154 people.
Armenian authorities are working to identify what gas was used to blow
up the balloons, RIA-Novosti reported, citing a statement by the
country's emergency services ministry. The balloons were apparently
not filled with helium or regular air, both of which are commonly used
for the purpose and neither of which are explosive.
As a result of the explosion,154 demonstrators standing near the
balloons at a rally of the Armenian Republican Party received burns
and were hospitalized. As of early Saturday, more than 70 people
remained in the hospital, Interfax reported.
The rally took place in a central square in Yerevan ahead of
parliamentary elections in Armenia scheduled for Sunday.
Armenian authorities are investigating whether the explosion was set
off by someone purposefully or was an accident, a police spokesman
told Interfax.

Story - :->Tonight! Tips to See Year’s Biggest Full Moon-If the full moon

'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.
