A spider crab removing its old shell.
This is so awesome. Does anyone know how it does this and why does it look like the shell is being removed from the inside?
oh wait, cause the pinkish one is the actual crab and the still one is the shell haha (mind blowing angle).
Do you really think Allah will leave you for even a blink of an eye?
“Those who attended the #FergusonOctober events heard “Palestine” mentioned many times from the podium, and perhaps saw a contingent of dozens of young people—Arab, Black, and Latino—marching with signs and banners in Arabic and English, as well as the ubiquitous presence of the Palestinian flag held not only by Arabs but also by many African Americans.”

An excerpt from the article:
The Bilali Document is thus probably the first book of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) ever written in the United States. And while Islam slowly died out among the African American community in the United States in the nineteenth century, it is important to recognize and appreciate the stories of the the first American Muslims. They were not a small, inconsequential group. They numbered hundreds of thousands and despite almost insurmountable difficulties, they struggled to preserve their Islamic heritage under the oppression of slavery. The story of Bilali Muhammad is a perfect example of the efforts of this early American Muslim community, one that could inspire American Muslims of the present, whether they be of African descent or not.
