Watch A Video: Win A Scholarship!

Via sisters Izzy Mo and Aaminah:

Umm Zakiyya is a mother of two, a Katrina survivor, an active community member and student of knowledge (Islamic and secular). She is currently enrolled for an MA in English, and refuses riba-based loans, so she and her husband are paying out-of-pocket for her education.

Umm Zakiyya has created a short video starring Zakiyya for a scholarship opportunity. The video that gets the most views gets the scholarship. So we can help simply by taking 2 minutes to go watch this sweet little video, and by sharing this with others inshaAllah.

“You can help me win a scholarship just by watching this
video. The entry that secures the most views will win a $5,000
scholarship. All you have to do is view the video, available at this
link.  If you want to help even more, you can forward this video to
everyone you know. Every view helps. If you have a blog, facebook,
myspace page or website, I would certainly appreciate a link.”

Video of the Week: If You Ask About Paradise…

Video of the week, brought to you by IslamicTube.net.

A video that describes Paradise with the words of Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah. The background picture is the Nile, Egypt. It was chosen because Allah’s messenger (sallalahu ‘alayhi wa salam) told us in numerous ahadith that the Nile is of the rivers of Paradise.
