Salam Alaikum All,

Here's a few announcementsfor this week.

Hadith of the week

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (ra), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (saw) took me by the shoulder and said,
Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer.
And Ibn Umar (ra) used to say,
In the evening do not expect [to live until] the morning, and in the morning do not expect [to live until] the evening. Take [advantage of] your health before times of sickness, and [take advantage of] your life before your death.

[Bukhari]
