WASHINGTON –

Astronomers have finally found a place outside our solar system where there's a firm place to stand — if only it weren't so broiling hot.

As scientists search the skies for life elsewhere, they have found more than 300 planets outside our solar system. But they all have been gas balls or can't be proven to be solid. Now a team of European astronomers has confirmed the first rocky extrasolar planet.

Scientists have long figured that if life begins on a planet, it needs a solid surface to rest on, so finding one elsewhere is a big deal.

"We basically live on a rock ourselves," said co-discoverer Artie Hatzes, director of the Thuringer observatory in Germany. "It's as close to something like the Earth that we've found so far. It's just a little too close to its sun."

So close that its surface temperature is more than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit, too toasty to sustain life. It circles its star in just 20 hours, zipping around at 466,000 mph. By comparison, Mercury, the planet nearest our sun, completes its solar orbit in 88 days.

"It's hot, they're calling it the lava planet," Hatzes said.

This is a major discovery in the field of trying to find life elsewhere in the universe, said outside expert Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution. It was the buzz of a conference on finding an Earth-like planet outside our solar system, held in Barcelona, Spain, where the discovery was presented Wednesday morning. The find is also being published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

The planet is called Corot-7b. It was first discovered earlier this year. European scientists then watched it dozens of times to measure its density to prove that it is rocky like Earth. It's in our general neighborhood, circling a star in the winter sky about 500 light-years away. Each light-year is about 6 trillion miles.

Four planets in our solar system are rocky: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

In addition, the planet is about as close to Earth in size as any other planet found outside our solar system. Its radius is only one-and-a-half times bigger than Earth's and it has a mass about five times the Earth's.

Now that another rocky planet has been found so close to its own star, it gives scientists more confidence that they'll find more Earth-like planets farther away, where the conditions could be more favorable to life, Boss said.

"The evidence is becoming overwhelming that we live in a crowded universe," Boss said.

Mawlana Shaykh al-Islam al-Hajj Ibrahim Niyass (RA) Dua

As-Salam Alaykum dear beloved ones,



This is the Dua that Mawlana Shaykh al-Islam al-Hajj Ibrahim Niyass (RA) used to advise the Tijanis to recite in the nights of this blessed Month of Ramadan on a regular basis:


اللهم إني أسئلك بك و بخاتم أنبيائك و بخاتم أوليائك أن تؤيدنا في أداء حقوق شهر رمضان و ألهمنا فيه الرشد في سائر احكامه و وفقنا لسنة نبيك و ارزقنا فيه تعظيم ما عظمت و اعصمنا فيه عن كل غائل من دسائس النفس و رعوناتها حتى لا يصدر منا إلا ما فيه رضاك و اقطعنا عن كل ما سواك و املأ قلوبنا من حبك و معرفتك و خوفك و التشوق إليك و طهرنا بالتقوى يا أرحم الراحمين يا حنان يا منان يا بديع السماوات و الأرض يا ذا الجلال و الإكرام يا حي يا قيوم اصلح شؤوننا ظاهرها و باطنها حقيرها و جليلها و آخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين


Transliteration:

Allahumma inni As’aluka bika
wa bi-Khatami Anbiya’ika

wa bi-Khatami Awliya’ika

An Tu’ayyidna fi Adaa’i Huquqi Shahri Ramadan

Wa Alhimna fihi r-Rushda fi Sa’iri Ahkamihi

Wa waffiqna li-Sunnati Nabiyyika

Wa Arzuqna fihi Ta’zima Ma Azzamta

Wa’simna fihi an kulli Gha’ilin min Dasa’isi n-Nafsi wa Ra’unatiha

Hatta La Yasduru Minna Illa ma fihi Ridaka

Wa’qta’na an Kulli Ma Siwaka

Wam’la Qulubana min Hubbika wa Ma’rifatika

Wa Khawfika wa t-Tashawwuqi Ilayka

Wa Tahhirna bi t-Taqwa

Ya Arham al-Rahimin Ya Hannan Ya Mannan

Ya Badi al-Samawati wa l-Ardi

Ya Za l-Jalali wa l-Ikrami Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum

Aslih Shu’unana Zahiraha wa Batinaha Haqiraha wa Jalilaha

Wa Akhri Da’wana ani l-Hamdu li-Llahi Rabbi l-Alamin.



(End of blessed Dua)



The summary of its meaning is that:



“O Allah I ask you by You and by the Seal of Your Prophets and by the Seal of Your Saints to support us in fulfilling the Rights of the Month of Ramadan and guide us in it to the Straight Path in fulfilling its rulings and grant us to follow the Sunnah of your Prophet (SAW) and guide us to in it to honor that which You have honored and protect us in it from every subtle trick of the Nafs and its egoistic actions until we say and do nothing except that which pleases You and cut us from all other than You and fill our hearts with Your Love and Your Ma’rifah and Your Fear and the Desire for You and purify us through Taqwa O Most Merciful One O Most Compassionate O Ever-Providing One O Originator of the Heavens and the Earth O Majestic and Generous One O Ever Living O The One in Charge fix all our affairs, the outward and the inward, the significant and the insignificant, and our final prayer is All Praise be to Allah The Lord of the Worlds”.



Mawlana Shaykh al-Islam (RA) also encouraged the Tijanis in Ramadan to discuss the Divine sciences and secrets of this Tariqah and its Master (RA) as well as his Faydah and its Bringer (RA).



He encouraged this in addition to fasting properly, reciting the Holy Qur’an (with the intention of completing it), spending in the Way of Allah, reciting our Wirds, and Praying the blessed Tarawih Salah with our beloved Muslim brothers in Allah’s Houses.



Both the Holy Zawiyah of Fez and the Grand Ibrahimi Mosque of Medina-Kaolack complete the recitation of the entire Qur’an in the Tarawih Salah by the 27th Night of Ramadan.



Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) had appointed a good Mauritanian Reciter from his disciples to lead the Tarawih for him in his Mosque. Shaykh Hassan Cisse (RA) continued to pray the Tarawih behind him (and others) as well. This remains the practice there.



And keep us in the Dua as well!



Was-Salam

WASHINGTON – Shaking off a summer of setbacks, President Barack Obama summoned Congress to enact sweeping health care legislation Wednesday night, declaring the "time for bickering is over" and the moment has arrived to protect millions who have unreliable insurance or no coverage at all.

Obama said the changes he wants would cost about $900 billion over decade, "less than we have spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans" passed during the Bush administration.

In a televised speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama spoke in favor of a provision for the federal government to sell insurance in competition with private industry. But in a remark certain to displease liberals, he did not insist on it, and said he was open to other alternatives that create choices for consumers.

Obama said he remains ready to listen to all ideas but added in a clear reference to Republicans, "I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it."

In an unusual outburst from the Republican side of the House chamber, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted out "You lie" when the president said illegal immigrants would not benefit from his proposals. The president paused briefly and smiled, but from her seat in the visitor's gallery, first lady Michelle Obama shook her head from side to side in disapproval of the interruption.

In general, the president shied away from providing lawmakers with a list of particulars he wants to see included in the legislation, and there was nothing in the speech to invite comparisons with Bill Clinton's pen-waving veto threat more than a decade ago on health care.

Obama's speech came as the president and his allies in Congress readied an autumn campaign to enact his top domestic priority. Republican opposition, contentious town hall meetings and drooping polls have contributed to their woes. An AP-GfK survey hours before the speech showed public disapproval of Obama's handling of health care has jumped to 52 percent, an increase of 9 percentage points since July.

While Democrats command strong majorities in both the House and Senate, neither chamber has acted on Obama's top domestic priority, missing numerous deadlines leaders had set for themselves.

In a fresh sign of urgency, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., announced that his Senate Finance Committee would meet in two weeks to begin drafting legislation, whether or not a handful of Democrats and Republicans have come to an agreement. The panel is the last of five to act in Congress, and while the outcome is uncertain, it is the only one where bipartisanship has been given a chance to flourish.

Obama said there is widespread agreement on about 80 percent of what must be included in legislation. Any yet, criticizing Republicans without saying so, he added: "Instead of honest debate, we have seen scare tactics" and ideological warfare that offers no hope for compromise.

"Well, the time for bickering is over," he said. "The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action."

"I am not the first president to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last," he added.

The president was alternately bipartisan and tough on his Republican critics. He singled out Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for praise at one point. Yet, moments later, in a line apparently aimed at McCain's former running mate, Sarah Palin, Obama accused Republicans of spreading the "cynical and irresponsible" charge that the legislation would include "death panels" with the power to hasten the death of senior citizens.

In one gesture to Republicans, Obama said his administration would authorize a series of test programs in some states to check the impact of medical malpractice changes on health insurance costs.

Responding on behalf of Republicans, Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., said the country wants Obama to instruct Democratic congressional leaders that "it's time to start over on a common-sense, bipartisan plan focused on lowering the cost of health care while improving quality."

"Replacing your family's current health care with government-run health care is not the answer," said Boustany, a heart surgeon.

In a reflection of the stakes, White House aides mustered all the traditional pomp they could for a president who took office vowing to change Washington. The setting was a State of the Union-like joint session of Congress, attended by lawmakers, members of the Cabinet and diplomats.

The House was packed, and loud applause greeted the president when he walked down the center aisle of the House chamber.

Additionally, the White House invited as guests men and women who have suffered from high costs and insurance practices, seating them near first lady Michelle Obama. Vicki Kennedy, the widow of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., was also on the guest list. Kennedy, who died last month, had made health care a career-long cause, and Obama spoke movingly of his efforts.

Obama intends to follow up the speech with an appearance Saturday in Minneapolis, the White House announced.

Despite deep-seated differences among lawmakers, Obama drew a standing ovation when he recounted stories of Americans whose coverage was denied or delayed by their insurers with catastrophic results.

"That is heartbreaking, it is wrong, and no one should me treated that way in the United States of America."

The president sought to cast his own plan as being in the comfortable political middle, rejecting both the government-run system that some liberals favor and the Republican-backed approach under which all consumers buy health insurance on their own.

Obama said the legislation he seeks would guarantee insurance to consumers, regardless of pre-existing medical conditions, as well as other protections. "As soon as I sign this bill, it will be against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick or water it down when you need it most," he added.

The president assured those with insurance that "nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have."

Obama also said the legislation he seeks would help those who lack insurance to afford it. "These are not primarily people on welfare," he said in a line that appeared aimed at easing concerns among working-class voters. "These are middle-class Americans."

The president also said he wants legislation that "will slow the growth of health care costs for our families."

Obama said a collective failure to meet the challenge of overhauling health care for decades has "led us to a breaking point."

The so-called government option that Obama mentioned has emerged as one of the most contentious issues in the monthslong debate over health care, with liberal Democrats supporting it and many moderates inside the party opposed. An early draft of Baucus' plan calls for an alternative consisting of nonprofit co-ops. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, the Republican who seems most inclined to cross party lines on the issue, favors a different approach, consisting of a standby in which the government could sell insurance if competition fails to emerge in individual states.
