Fahd al Kanderi–Surah Hajj Verses 63-78

Another beautiful recitation by Sheikh/Imam Fahd al Kanderi. I think next to Qiyamah, this is my favorite recitation-video. You’ll be left speechless afterwards—and of course like me you will become addicted to it, and will watch it 100 times a day….

Don’t mind me I am just a lover of the Quran.

If you wish to do so, leave comments. Or a rating..

Wa’salaam

P.S. You’ll see a glimpse of Mishary too.

Global Report - 16-October-2008

Aravind Adiga wins Man Booker Prize 2008

This years Man Booker Prize 2008 Britains best known and most generous literary award has been won by a 33 year old first time Indian novelist Aravind Adiga for his novel White Tiger. The work is based upon vivid exploration of Indias class struggle told through the story of a village boy who becomes the chauffeur to a rich man. The awards administrators emphasized, “The White Tiger is the ninth winning novel to take its inspiration from India or Indian identity. The £50,000 prize, announced in London, makes Adiga the fifth Booker winner of Indian ethnicity and the second youngest winner in the award’s 40-year history, Ben Okri was 32 when he won for The Famished Road in 1991. He is also only the third winner to triumph with a debut novel. The first debut novelist to win the Booker was Arundhati Roy. Aravind Adiga joins V S Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai in the Booker hall of fame.

OFW beheaded in Jeddah

The beheading by sword of an Overseas Filipino Worker convicted of killing a Saudi national is utterly horrendous. This despite appeals made by the lawyer hired by the Philippine consulate general in Jeddah and the requests sent twice by President Arroyo to the Saudi king asking clemency for Bidoya. The Saudi king refused clemency to Bidoya on the grounds that the victim’s family was adamant in refusing to forgive Bidoya, and insisted on their right to the imposition of equivalent penalty. Our condolences to the bereaved family. However, at the same time, it needs to be pointed out that death penalty is a symptom of a culture of violence. By refusing to pardon the offender, the family has failed to show mercy of which Prophet Mohammad was an embodiment. How can such cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and a violation of the right to life be compatible with faith and Islam? One fails to understand.

Malawi drops HIV cash handouts

Malawian government has reviewed its HIV AIDS policy. Under the revamped strategy the Malawian civil servants with HIV, who used to receive an extra $35 a month to help them buy more food, are now to get a food handout instead. The step is intended to prevent the misuse of money. Malawi is among the countries worst affected by Aids, with about 7% of the 13m population affected. The recommendation is to give them cooking oil, some eggs as support. HIV-positive employees will also be educated about the virus and get advice about safe sex. According to the UN World Health Organization, about 35% of those infected with HIV in Malawi are now taking ARV drugs. Last year, the government called on all sexually active people in the country to take an Aids test. Surely such measures apart from ensuring best usage of already meager state funds will also help in improving the health of Malawians suffering from AIDS.

Nepali Muslims Performing Hajj to drop this year

Nepali Muslims might not make it this year to the traditional Hajj Pilgrimage to Makkah. In 2007 405 of them left Kathmandu for the holy city. This year that number might drop to only 33.The gates to the city might be closed after Saudi authorities decided to shut down the more dilapidated buildings in Kawasaripha, accommodation hub for visiting pilgrims, in order to build new ones. The decision is aimed at improving crowd controls for the millions of pilgrims who come, but it has a negative impact on low-income pilgrims who can only afford cheap accommodations. For would-be hajjis the cost of finding lodgings in the holy city would top US$ 800. Accustomed to spending US$ 200 at most, not all Nepali Muslims can afford to live in five star hotels. The Saudis have already rejected a Nepali proposal to house Nepali pilgrims in accommodations her from Makkah. Nepals domestic situation is also complicating matters. Members of the Nepali Hajj committee are unhappy with secular policies of the Maoist government which according to them do not adhere to Muslim guidelines.
