Wa alaikum salaam warahmatulaah wa barakatuhu Jabou

Ameeeeeeeeeeen!!!! Alhamdulillah, The One Who said 'Yaa ayu hannaasu itaqu
rabbakum inna zalzalata sa'atu shay'un adheem' (O' mankind fear your lord,
for the earthquake of the Hour is a very serious thing').

My dear sister Jabou and fellow G-lers, I am doing fine along with the other
students Alasan Bah (gambia), Mbaye Ndiaye and Salif Coly (Senegal). Our
dorm has been shaking 'all night long' after the killer quake and the last
after shock happened when we were in the middle of sujjuud at Fajr this
morning. Allahu Akbar. Lahawla wa laquwwata illa billah.

Fortunately for us we are far removed from the epicenter of the quake (which
is in Nantou), but nonetheless it was scary last night. What a coincidence,
just a day after I posted the article on earthquakes. We went to class this
morning but right now students are glued to the TV watching the rescue
efforts as the death toll continues to rise- now approx. 500.

Interestingly enough I slept through the major one and only woke up for Fajr
to experience the after shocks. We need your prayers since there are still
warnings especially of Sunamis (giant waves) crashing from the ocean. May
Allah make it easy.

Allahumma salli wasallim alaa Nabiyyina Muhammad. Wasalaam.
Modou Mbye
