EID MUBARAK to the Muslim Ummah
In this Hadith (which has multiple similar narrations, as quoted by Ibn Majjah and Al Mushkaat)
the Prophet (PBUH) said that Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala looks at his servants and forgives all
except for two categories of people: someone who is having Shirk (associating any partner with
Allah Almighty) or someone who is in a state of animosity with another believer (for nafs, ego or
personal issues, or for the Dunya)
Conclusion:
Ill start with myself and make you all witness that I have no animosity in my heart towards
any of the believers whatsoever. I have it only for shaitan or enemies of Allah (swt).
Today, I forgive anyone regardless of what he/she has ever done against me.
Secondly, I do hope that anyone forgives me in case I have done anything wrong. I make all of
you witness, and Allah is my witness that Im willing to go to anyone's house who
is upset with me and bow down to apologize for anything I have done wrong -
just let me know and I will be there.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala gather all of us in Jannnah. Ameeen.
Afaq Ahmed Khan

Don't Laugh
"Here is a free puppy"
The President is running down the street one
day, and he sees a little girl who is giving away
puppies that her dog just had.
He goes up to the girl and says, "Little girl, I
think that it's wonderful that you're doing such
a good thing."
The little girl says, "Thank you, Mr. Obama.
Would you like a puppy? They're Democrats."
Obama declines and jogs onward. The next
day Obama j ogs past the same gi rl and
decides to talk to her again. "You know what,
little girl? I think I'll take one of those puppies
after all, seeing as how they're Democrats."
The girl says, "I'm sorry Mr. Obama, but they're
not Democrats any more. They're Republican
now."
Obama says, "They are? How do you know?
As a matter of fact, how did you know that they
were Democrats at first to begin with?"
She says, "Well, just after they were born they
were Democrats, but now their eyes are
open."

Patel
By: M.A. Waheed
The "Patel" brand name is a big draw in the
US Hospi tal ity i ndustry. The Patel name
means a land owner in India but in the US it
means a motel owner. In every nook and
corner of the 50 states there is a Patel tilling
revenues by selling rooms and offering a
home away from home to road warriors.
Hailing from Gujarat it is widely believed that
the Patel s own 50-60% of the economy
segment in the US hotel operations. Backed
by a powerful Asian American Hotel Owners
Association (AAHOA), the Patels have found a
niche which is now a generational vocation.
According to PKF Hospitality Research the
Asian Americans properties are valued around
$128 billions. The first Indian immigrant motel
owner is said to have been Kanjibhai Desai
who managed to buy the Goldfield Hotel in
downtown San Francisco in the early 1940s.
In 70 plus years the Patels have a come a
long way straddling brands and independent
motels with a commanding influence amongst

core segment of motel -evangel i sts who

guest retention. Over a period of time the

How and Where the Khans of
Bollywood Celebrated Eid
While some of the stars celebrated the festival
out of the country, others spent the day in the
bylines of Old Delhi and their hometown.
Shah Rukh Khan: Ladakh, SRK, who i s
shooting for Yashrajs untitled film in Ladakh,
had to celebrate without family. He tweeted,
"All alone on Eid ... on a thin winding road.
Just gave myself a hug after a long time. Will
celebrate with happy winds. Look forward to
reading the Takbirat in an open space in
Ladakh."
Imran Khan: Old Delhi, Imran Khan decided
on saddi Dilli this year. The 29-year old actor
spent the festival gorging on paranthas in Old
Delhi. "We had a great time there when we
were shooting for Delhi Belly (2011). It was a
feast for us everyday in Paranthe Wali Gali.
Salman Khan: Mumbai, Sallu, who missed
the festival last year as he was undergoing
treatment for his nerve disorder in US at the
time, did not celebrate Eid this year as well.
Reason: the demise of his close friend Riteish
Deshmukhs father, Vilasrao Deshmukh. "My
good friend Riteish Deshmukh lost his dad ...
Ill therefore not celebrate," the 46-year-old
was quoted as saying.
Aamir Khan: Chicago, Actor Aamir Khan,
who after the successful closure of Satyamev
Jayate is currently shooting for Yashrajs film
Dhoom 3 in Chicago, celebrated the day with
filmmaker wife Kiran Rao and son Azad Rao
Khan. Thi s was a speci al Ei d f or t he
47-year-old actor-filmmaker, as it was his
eight-month-old babys first.
Saif Ali Khan: London, After celebrating his
birthday in a small private ceremony with
ladylove Kareena Kapoor in London last
week, Saif, 42, celebrated the festival with
Bebo in the British capital. After the Eid
couple return to India on Monday.

two American maintenance crew suffered

The attack posed no threat to the safety of
