Power cuts are amazing!

On that same evening, in the same restaurant (Thurs 20.12)... Ismael, with his beautiful Ba Alawi turban, was feeling a bit down. I guess it is not always easy to reajust oneself when one have been amongst amasing people and scholars such as Omar bin Hafiz (make Allah give him long life and may we benefit from his teachings).


You see the restaurant appeared suddenly abit superficial, with all those people, showing up and showing off. Modernity has compelled us to go and eat outside on special occasions, as if the food from inside is only good enough for an ordinary day... So we were both seating in that restaurant, him from Hadramaut and me fromMauritania, semi-happy semi-deppressed, when a power cut occured! Subhanallah! I mean how are the chances to go out in England and you experience a powercut (very little!)?? Yet it happened. Bradford in a restaurant with no electricity! Of course it only happened to make us feel at home... ie in our adoptive countries, Mauritania and Yemen, where electricity is non-existent! God is Great! There were only the stars missing, and if you want to see the sky in UK as we both see it in our respective place of study, well, you need to go to the Planetarium near Tussaud's museum I'm afraid!

This is the Milky-Way for real!!

I'm afraid to tell you that the Planetarium in London closed a few years ago. So nowhere in England will you be able to see the starry skies because of light pollution,except maybe in remote rural areas.

Is that sky what you witnessed yourself?! SubhanAllah... You're very blessed to be able to travel and learn from such righteous people. Ma'shAllah.
