Please Help!

Even blogging isnt taking my mind off this whole earthquake thing. We've started collecting money in our university for the relief fund. Lets hope we can help in some way.

Ami always says that in Allah's 99 names, He has 98 names that depict beauty and mercy while there is only one name that says Al-Jabbar. And still Allah is Arrehman Arraheem, His love and mercy are no doubt greater than His anger. I pray for the maghfirat of the people who died. I pray that Allah makes it easy for the victims to get through this ordeal. I pray for our nation to have the strength to overcome this catastrophe. I pray.

I found some extremely useful info on Saba's blog:
