November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

A few months ago I saw a strange thing in the sky.  Something like a huge shining star, but I'm positive that it wasn't a star.  It also somehow didn't resemble one of those floating satellites, the movement of which can be observed and neither does it remain in the same location for more than a few minutes.  But this light stayed for hours.  When I went to bed around 12 a.m., it still stood there on the same spot.  

I wonder if any of you have ever seen anything similar, what may have seemed to you, a huge star in the sky shinning bright and big?  The common assumption of astronomers is that this is not a 'star.'   It's the planet Jupitor.  

A friend of mine, who isn't an astronomer, but is very interested in this subject and she's read plenty of books and webpages on it.  When I met her a few days later, I told her about it.  She said it surely must have been Jupitor.  She mentioned that for some reason, Jupitor is seen most clearly a little to the south of the globe.  With binoculars the color of this planet appears quite dull with no glitters and 4 small dots over it.  These are most likely 4 of Jupitor's many moons.  

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and the fifth planet from the Sun.  It takes 11.86 years to complete its orbit around the Sun.   While Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun which is considered a huge distance, the mean distance of Jupiter from the Sun is 483.7 million miles!  And, while the diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles, the diameter of Jupiter is 88,846 miles.  It is also surmised that Jupitor has a total of no less than 39 moons.  


The striped appearance of Jupiter is due to bands of clouds created by strong winds in the upper atmosphere.

Jupitor and Venus are said to rank among the brightest planets in the sky.  They appear bright and beautiful because of the cloud cover on them that helps to efficiently reflect sunlight.  The brightness of Venus is because, being the second planet outside the Sun, it's close to the Sun and the Earth.  Jupitor shines brightly in the sky because of its size .. it's very huge.

Praise be to Allah Almighty!  No one but Him alone can fill the heavens with such beauty.

wow!  Praise be to Allah!!  In this world we keep addressing every little artificial thing as 'beautiful.'  The real beauty lies in matters created by Allah all over the universe. 

Very interesting post.  I so much love reading or watching movies on astronomy.
