2009 Total Solar Eclipse China

Peace be upon you,

This is take from the NASA Website ~~>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.

NOTICE: Due to the time difference between China and the US, the on-line viewing time for the eclipse over Shanghai will be Tuesday, July 21 from 9:35pm to 9:41pm Eastern Daylight Time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is so cool! Supposedly the viewing will be live so that we can all watch. Whats even more interesting is that there are special prayer of 2 rakat nafil for an eclipse. During the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, an eclipse occurred on the same day the Prophet's, peace be upon him, son passed away. People gathered them together and informed them that the sun and moon are signs of Allah (swt) and do not eclipse because of someones birth or death. He, peace be upon him, then exhorted the people to offer prayers and charities during an eclipse.

I took this from Encyclopaedia of Islam
By Mufti M. Mukarram Ahmed, Muzaffar Husain Syed

Unite for Change!

Peace be upon you,

Who said Muslims don't have unity?



Vision:

United For Change has assumed an historic role as the lead body for eight prominent Muslim organizations. The uniqueness of United For Change is that it was created to respond to the suffering and utter despair of the Muslim family; and through a distinct strategic alliance United For Change is inspired to engage all national American Muslim organizations to work together under a united front to take on major issues no one group can handle effectively. Through this partnership and with compassion and empathy United For Change will prove capable of addressing issues that are well known, but rarely effectively engaged.

Mission:

United For Change is dedicated to increasing the awareness of and sympathy for issues requiring the attention and action of the Muslim community. United For Change will raise the level of consciousness within the Muslim community while simultaneously developing resolutions and creating an action oriented partnership between the public and United For Change.

The organization will methodically tackle the broadest and most consuming issues that require the motivation, dedication and resources of the united Muslim community.
