Suspended YouTube Account? :(

UPDATE: Reinstated YouTube Account?

“Verily, with hardship comes ease.” -Qur’an (94:6)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just needed to get that out.
So, I went to check up on my video from my 1st vlog on YouTube (I’d posted it on three different sites), and to my surprise it was “removed due to terms of use violation”.

It’s actually a fact that I was born on the 1st of Muharram (the 1st month of the Islamic calendar). So technically, my birthday is on the Islamic New Years.

And do not become like those…

…who forget Allah.
I just attended a program for a brother that recently died (inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raaji’oon, from Him we come and to Him we return) in Makkah, right after he’d completed his Hajj. I went on a last minute’s notice (with my father).
The program included a Qur’anic recitation, and the verses recited [...]
