Narrated under the authority of Abi Horaira may Allah be pleased with him that the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him said "one who believes in Allah and the Day After would only say what is good or remain silent, one who believes in Allah and the Day After would be gracious to his neighbour, and one who believes in Allah and the Day After would be gracious to his guest" (reported by Bukhari and Muslim).

Narrated under the authority of Anas he said: the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him met Aba Dhar, and he said: O Aba Dhar, Wouldn't I inform you about two qualities?" he said: yes O Messenger of Allah, he said: adopt and embrace good and sound mannerism and long silence, in the name of the One in Whom Hands my soul is, creatures would not have been adorned with any other qualities".

Narrated the authority of Abi may Allah be pleased with him said: the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him said: You shall not be admitted to Jannah until you believe, and you shall not believe until you embrace inter love, shouldn't I inform you of something, if you do it you would love each other? Diffuse peace among yourselves" (reported by Muslim).

Narrated under the authority of Mu`adh Bin Jabal saying: last of which the Messenger of Allah told me to adopt when I inserted my foot into the saddle curve (translator's explanation: before going to Yemen) that he said: embrace good and kind mannerism with people O Mu`adh" (reported by Malek)

Narrated under the authority of Abdullah Ibn A`mr Bin al A`as he said: the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him said:" how would you be during a time about to come when people shall be seriously screened and filtered leaving from among people only scrap whose pledges and trusts had been mingled and corrupted to the extend that they became like this and like this and he tangled his fingers. The said: how should we behave O Messenger of Allah when this time comes?! he said: take (apply) what you know, leave (refrain from) what you reject, focus on your private and personal matters and leave off matters of your people". (reported by Bukhari, Muslim and Abi Daoud

WASHINGTON) — NASA's dead 6-ton satellite plunged to Earth early Saturday, but more than eight hours later, U.S. space officials didn't know just where it hit. They thought the fiery fall was largely over water and the debris probably hurt no one.

The bus-sized satellite first penetrated Earth's atmosphere somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, according to NASA and the U.S. Air Force's Joint Space Operations Center. But that doesn't necessarily mean it all fell into the sea.

NASA's earlier calculations had predicted that the 20-year-old former climate research satellite would fall over a 500-mile swath and could include land. Because the plummet began over the ocean and given the lack of any reports of people being hit, that "gives us a good feeling that no one was hurt," but officials didn't know for certain, NASA spokesman Steve Cole told The Associated Press.

(See TIME's complete astronomy coverage.)

The two government agencies said the 35-foot satellite fell sometime between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday and 1:09 a.m. EDT Saturday, but with no precise time or location. There was rampant speculation on the Internet and Twitter, much of it focusing on unconfirmed reports and even video of debris over Alberta, Canada.

Cole said that was possible because the last track for the satellite included Canada, starting north of Seattle and then in a large arc north then south. From there, the track continued through the Atlantic south toward Africa, but it was unlikely the satellite got that far if it started falling over the Pacific.

Cole said NASA was hoping for more details from the Air Force, which was responsible for tracking debris. But given where the satellite may have fallen, officials may never quite know precisely. "Most space debris is in the ocean. It'll be hard to confirm," Cole said.

Some 26 pieces of the satellite representing 1,200 pounds of heavy metal had been expected to rain down somewhere. The biggest surviving chunk should be no more than 300 pounds.

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is the biggest NASA spacecraft to crash back to Earth, uncontrolled, since the post-Apollo 75-ton Skylab space station and the more than 10-ton Pegasus 2 satellite, both in 1979. Russia's 135-ton Mir space station slammed through the atmosphere in 2001, but it was a controlled dive into the Pacific.

(See Skylab's fiery fall.)

Before UARS fell, no one had ever been hit by falling space junk and NASA expected that not to change.

NASA put the chances that somebody somewhere on Earth would get hurt at 1-in-3,200. But any one person's odds of being struck were estimated at 1-in-22 trillion, given there are 7 billion people on the planet.

The satellite ran out of fuel and died in 2005. UARS was built and launched before NASA and other nations started new programs that prevent this type of uncontrolled crashes of satellite.

Principle 1: Have a sincere, unwavering intention. Prophet Muhammad said, "each person will be rewarded for what he intended" (Muslim). This calls for determination in the heart to continuously act or to abstain from something only for God's sake. A sign of having sincere intentions is that one does not change his resolve for fleeting reasons; what is done for God, the Truth, should not be forsaken to please His creation.

Principle 2: Work purely for God, (the One) without partners or associates. Prophet Muhammad said: "worship God as though you see Him, but if you do not see Him (know that) He sees you" (Muslim). A sign of working purely for God is to not accept anything except the truth, and to see everything else besides the truth as vain and fleeting. As the prophet said, "Let the slave of the dinar perish" (Bukhari). One should also beware of falling into doubtful matters. As Prophet Muhammad : "Leave what is doubtful for what is not doubtful" (Tirmidhi and Nasa'i).

Principle 3: Align one's desires with the guidelines and rulings of the Shari`ah (Islamic law). Be patient in times of hardship and difficulty, when struggling with personal desires, and in avoiding sinful acts and pleasures. Whoever practices this regularly reaches a state whereby he is in his sleep as if he were awake [worshipping], in his mixing with people as if he were in seclusion, in his fulfillment as if he were hungry, in his pride as if he were humiliated, and in talking to others as if he were silent.

Principle 4: Base one's actions on following [the prophet's way and scholarly opinions], and not on innovation. This prevents the following of one's own desires and becoming proud of one's own opinion. Surely, a person who takes himself as his own ruler will not succeed.

Principe 5: Have high ambitions, and do not procrastinate. It is said: "do not leave today's work until tomorrow," because actions are built on each another; and whoever is content with a lower [status] will be deprived of a higher one.

Principle 6: Be aware of one's incapability and insignificance. This is not referring to laziness in worship or lack of productivity in work. It is about realizing that one is not capable of doing any action without support from God, the Most Capable, and Most Generous. This awareness is also manifested in viewing other people with respect and reverence, for people are means and helpers of one another on the path to God, the Exalted and Most Bountiful.

Principle 7: Have fear and hope, and do not be sure that your good deeds are accepted until you have witnessed this [on the day of Judgment]. One should have hope not because of the good deeds themselves, but because God Himself is the Most Benevolent and Generous.

Principle 8: Be consistent in one's wird (regular litany of worship), for the one without a wird does not have additional source of support from God. With a wird, the soul opens up in public and private; it becomes more mindful of the rights of others; it increases in loving and hating for others what it loves or hates for itself. Also, having that wird makes one work more for God in order to please Him, just as a person would love that God does for him what he finds pleasing.

Principle 9: Be constantly observant of your actions and do not stray away from the remembrance of God even the blink of an eye. For the one who is always observant of his heart for the sake of God, and does not let other than God enter his heart besides, is one who has truly found God, experienced His Benevolence, and has reached 'ilm al-yaqeen (certain knowledge). This is manifested in seeing God as the Enabler or Mover of everything that remains still or in motion around us. One's mindfulness then increases from there until he recognizes that God is the Sustainer of everything, so His interaction with the creation is characterized by the best of manners. (Exemplifying this), the Prophet said: "My Lord taught me good manners, and He gave me the best of manners."

Principle 10: Know what one should be occupied with, both internally and externally for whoever thinks that he is not in need of obeying [God and His messenger] is a broke man who is in opposition to God's words:

"...Say 'If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you' " (3:31)

This is the foundation upon which have been built castles like no other.

The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place in the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon between September 16 and September 18, 1982, during the Lebanese civil war. Palestinian and Lebanese civilians were massacred in the camps by Christian Lebanese Phalangists while the camp was surrounded by the Israel Defense Force. In that period of time, Israel was at war with the PLO in Lebanon. Israeli forces occupied Beirut, dominated the refugee camps of Palestinians and controlled the entrance to the city. After the assassination of Bachir Gemayel, leader and president-elect of the Lebanese Kataeb Party, a Maronite group, also called Lebanese Forces militia group, entered the camp and murdered inhabitants during the night. The exact number of victims is disputed, from 700–800 to 3,500 (depending on the source).

Israeli forces enabled the entrance of the angry Kataeb Party group to the refugee camps, by providing them transportation[citation needed] from outside Beirut and firing illuminating flares over the camps.[citation needed] The Phalangists were under the direct command of Elie Hobeika, who later became a long-serving Member of the Parliament of Lebanon and, in the 1990s, a Lebanese cabinet minister.

In 1982, an independent commission chaired by Sean MacBride concluded that the Israeli authorities or forces were, directly or indirectly, responsible.[2] The Israeli government established the Kahan Commission to investigate, and in early 1983 it found that Israeli military personnel were aware that a massacre was in progress without taking serious steps to stop it. It therefore regarded Israel as bearing part of the "indirect responsibility." The commission held Ariel Sharon personally responsible for having disregarded the prospect of acts of bloodshed by the Phalangists against the population of the refugee camps and not preventing their entry[3].
