A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat.


On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit.


She died on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis.


This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass.


Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.


Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances.


It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda cans before drinking out of them.


The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.


A study at a New York University showed that the tops of soda cans are


more contaminated than public toilets (i.e.) full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.


Please forward this message to all the people you care about.

By the way things like this are true, there have been many other stories similiar to this one.

Islamic Circles Presents:


KEY TO THE SAINTLY PATH


by Sidi Abu Aaliyah (Jawziyyah Institute)*


Date: Saturday 27th May 2006


Time: 9.00 am - 6.00 pm


Venue: Birkbeck College, University of London, Malet Street,


Bloomsbury, London, WC1E 7HX


A course based on the book "Miftah Tariq al-Awliyâ" by Shaykh Ahmad


bin Ibrahim al-Wasiti (d. 711 AH). It can be described as a Blueprint


for the Believer with regards to his or her religious and spiritual


growth. It brings together, in a succinct but profound manner, the


inward and outwards duties a person is required to know and fulfil


in their worship of Allah and service to humanity. This classical


text lays out a simple schema for Muslims as to how they can live


an ethical, God-conscious life in this age of spiritual turmoil


and socio-political upheaval.


Both Ibn Hajr al-'Asqalani and al-Dhahabi describe Shaykh Ahmad


bin Ibrahim al-Wasiti as a "master", "gnostic - 'arif" and "of


great standing". Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali describes him as espousing


"al-tasawwuf al-sahih", i.e. the sound form of Sufism or Islamic


spirituality. Ibn Taymiyyah considered him to be the Junayd


al-Baghdadi of his age; and personally addressed him as "our


shaykh, the gnostic, the exemplar, the wayfarer to Allah."


Course objective: To understand the text's overall life-schema,


so as to begin internalising its invitation.


The course will cover all the eight brief chapters of the book, a


complete translation of which will be provided. The themes to be


discussed will include: Remembering the Awesome Ordeal of Judgement


Day; Preparing the Essential Provisions - learning and carrying out


the basic requirements of the Sacred Law, as well as the rights and


responsibilities we owe to Allah and to others; Being attached to


Prophetic guidance, conduct and character - inwardly and outwardly,


in one's day to day life; How to instill and nurture love for the


Prophet (pbuh); Sincerity, Sacred Knowledge and Divine Remembrance;


Love, awe, fear and intimacy with Allah; The role and influence of


friends and the company we keep; Prayer - its importance and inner


dimensions.


* Entry is by prior booking only. Deadline: Wednesday 24th May 2006


* Places are limited so please book early to guarantee a place


* Notes and refreshments will be provided

non-Muslims from amongst them, its upto us to see that they are insha'Allah


placed in a Muslim foster home where their Islamic needs are tended to as well as


their upbringing.


Below is the advert from The Metro, Thurs 4th May 2006:

Quote:Iran eyes badges for Jews
Law would require non-Muslim insignia


Chris Wattie


National Post


Friday, May 19, 2006


Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.


"This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."


Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this week setting a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear almost identical "standard Islamic garments."


The law, which must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.


Iran's roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.


"There's no reason to believe they won't pass this," said Rabbi Hier. "It will certainly pass unless there's some sort of international outcry over this."


Bernie Farber, the chief executive of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said he was "stunned" by the measure. "We thought this had gone the way of the dodo bird, but clearly in Iran everything old and bad is new again," he said. "It's state-sponsored religious discrimination."


Ali Behroozian, an Iranian exile living in Toronto, said the law could come into force as early as next year.


It would make religious minorities immediately identifiable and allow Muslims to avoid contact with non-Muslims.


Mr. Behroozian said it will make life even more difficult for Iran's small pockets of Jewish, Christian and other religious minorities -- the country is overwhelmingly Shi'ite Muslim. "They have all been persecuted for a while, but these new dress rules are going to make things worse for them," he said.


The new law was drafted two years ago, but was stuck in the Iranian parliament until recently when it was revived at the behest of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.


A spokesman for the Iranian Embassy in Ottawa refused to comment on the measures. "This is nothing to do with anything here," said a press secretary who identified himself as Mr. Gharmani.


"We are not here to answer such questions."


The Simon Wiesenthal Centre has written to Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, protesting the Iranian law and calling on the international community to bring pressure on Iran to drop the measure.


"The world should not ignore this," said Rabbi Hier. "The world ignored Hitler for many years -- he was dismissed as a demagogue, they said he'd never come to power -- and we were all wrong."


Mr. Farber said Canada and other nations should take action to isolate Mr. Ahmadinejad in light of the new law, which he called "chilling," and his previous string of anti-Semitic statements.


"There are some very frightening parallels here," he said. "It's time to start considering how we're going to deal with this person."


Mr. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly described the Holocaust as a myth and earlier this year announced Iran would host a conference to re-examine the history of the Nazis' "Final Solution."


He has caused international outrage by publicly calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."


Iran does not yet have nuclear weapons, but Tehran believed by Western nations to be developing its own nuclear military capability, in defiance of international protocols and peace treaties.


The United States, France and Israel accuse Iran of using a civilian nuclear program to secretly build a weapon. Iran denies this, saying its program is confined to generating electricity.
