Everyone should have Austrolabe bookmarked. It’s a group blog by Australian Muslims that primarily covers current events and issues that affect the Muslim community in Australia.
It appears that Taj ad-Deen al-Hilali may have suffered a heart attack and is currently in the hospital. We ask Allah to restore his health.

Salam Alaykum
I feel sorry for him… he must’ve been under intense horrible stress to provoke a heart attack. His comments hurt and offended me, (even the ‘cherished pearl’ one – between meat and pearls, where’s the human being?) but in any case, may Allah forgive him.
Asalamu alaykum,
As offensive as his comments were to me, I certainly do not wish to see his health deteriorate, it will be a purification for him in sha Allah. May Allah have mercy on all of us.
By the way, I want to make the roti but I don’t have the tools. Need to go shopping for metallic rolling pin and a tava.
