Our  sincere hearts and prayers to the people of Philippine on the recent destructive disaster that claimed a lot of lives, structures and landscape. It reminds one daily how blessed we are to have life, good health and all the other "undeserved" blessings on earth as the late Islamic scholar, Cheikh Amadou Bamba Ba fondly Serigne Toubah would put it so eloquently for us. The incident is very devastating.
