Someone did die from that event, by Askia Talib-din

Someone did die from that event,
It just wasn’t me.
Having survived, now, I can look down and back
On the finite moment and see the reality.
You hoped I died, and you, and you, and you as well hope I died,
But this is bigger than me,
However, now, I realize it’s as big as I make it.
I decide.

5 Times A Day, by Shah Abdul Lateef Muhammad

5  TIMES  A  DAY

ALLAH
THE  ALMIGHTY  HAS  A  ROPE  AROUND   THE  BELIEVERS
NECK
AND  HE  PULLS  IT  5  TIMES  A  DAY,
AND
  ALL  THE  BELIEVERS  SAY  ALLAH-U-AKBAR 
AND
THEN  WE  PRAY,

Rules and Criteria for posting on Creative Corner

Due to a pleasantly positive response to the Creative Corner blog section, LVMuslim.com has placed the following rules and criteria in place for now. These rules will change over time so please check back often.

The intention is to give everyone equal opportunity to display their material on the Creative Corner. The submitted material should not be offensive or derogatory even with the artistic liberty granted. It is hard to define such general guidelines so please abide by the following rules.

1. LVMuslim.com holds COMPLETE discretion in what material gets published on the Creative Corner.

2. There is NO grantee that your submission will be posted. But if it is accepted, you will be informed.

3. The material MUST be your original work. LVMuslim.com takes no responsibility for plagiarized submissions and if determined, LVMuslim.com will permanently ban the submitter from the Creative Corner.

4. The creator or author of the submissions SHOULD have some sort of ties to Las Vegas. LVMuslim.com is a blog dedicated to the local Las Vegas Muslim community and it will be best to stay with the spirit of this blog in promoting and celebrating local talent.

I hope this becomes one of the venues for local Las Vegas Muslims to display their creative works. Share your art, poetry, photography, performances, writings, recitations, a software code you have created and other interesting and creative works with the whole community. Just send an email to CC@lvmuslim.com with any necessary attachments and your work will be displayed in the "Creative Corner" blog section of LVMuslim.com. Make sure to include your full name and the length of time you have lived in Las Vegas.

I would encourage the local youth to start contributing to this section on a regular basis. I know many of you have your works displayed on your own blogs and photo sites, I would encourage you to start sharing them on this blog as well. A later post will discuss the criteria for submissions.
