Prayer(Duwa) Of A Fasting Person

Once Hazrat Moosa (AS) asked Allah:
“O Allah ! You have granted me the honour and privilege of talking to you directly,
Have you given this privilege to any other person?”
Allah Ta’ala replied;
“O!! Moosa, during the last period, I am going to send an ummat, who will be the Ummat of Mohammed (SAW) with dry lips, parched tongues, emaciated body with eyes sunken deep into their sockets, with livers dry and stomachs suffering the pangs of hunger - will call out to me (in duwa, prayer) they will be much much closer to me than you.”
“O Moosa! while you speak to me there are 70000 veils between you and me but at the time of iftaar there will not be a single veil between me and the fasting Ummati of Mohammed (SAW).
O!! Moosa I have taken upon myself the responsibility that at the time of iftaar I will never refuse the duwa (prayer) of a fasting person!”

Gravatars - Global Avatars - Post Online Identity in Comments

logo Gravatars - Global Avatars - Post Online Identity in Comments

Wether you are a blogger or not, Sometimes you post comments for posts in websites. How about posting your personal or company identity avator with your posts.
It too easy and simple procedure to follow.

Go to the website.
http://site.gravatar.com
Create account. Confirm account by provided email. Upload 80×80 pixels avatar image. Assign avatar to email and you are done.
Now when you will post any comment anywhere online, if webmaster has that facility than your identity avator will appear besides your comment.
Avator is associated with your assigned email address. So you have to post same email address while posting comment.

For example:
http://javedkhalil.com/personalBlog/focused-cat/#comment-16

Cool eh!!

Global Avators

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?

An avatar or gravatar is an icon, or representation, of a user in a shared virtual reality, such as a forum, chat, website, or any other form of online community in which the user(s) wish to have something to distinguish themselves from other users. Gravatars make it possible for a person to have one avatar across the entire web. Avatars are usually an 80px by 80px image that the user will create themselves.

A Gravatar is essentially the same thing, but they are all hosted on a single server and are called up by encrypting the users’ email address via the MD5 algorithm. So instead of having one avatar on one forum you visit, and another at a blog you visit, you could have the same avatar at both.

Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE, and all that’s required is your email address. Once you’ve signed up you can upload your avatar image and soon after you’ll start seeing it on gravatar enabled weblogs!
