Katie has terminal Cancer كايتي مصابة بالصرطان الخبيث
The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 and next to her is her fiancé, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the U.S. Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.
Sorry pictures not decent so they were left out.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her weddingand took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss. . . An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremonyand reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents,excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube, listening to a song from her husband and friends At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests.The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods.Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting marriedand with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts. We should stop making our lives complicated.Life is short Break the rules forgive quickly whatever you do, do it passionately, love truly laugh constantly And never stop smiling no matter how strange life is Life is not always the party we expected to be but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

The people of the Book
Surah Annisa Women 4:153-162
153. The people of the Book ask thee to cause a book to descend to them from heaven: Indeed they asked Moses for an even greater (miracle), for they said: "Show us Allah in public," but they were dazed for their presumption, with thunder and lightning. Yet they worshipped the calf even after clear signs had come to them; even so we forgave them; and gave Moses manifest proofs of authority.
154. And for their covenant we raised over them (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai); and (on another occasion) we said: "Enter the gate with humility"; and (once again) we commanded them: "Transgress not in the matter of the sabbath." And we took from them a solemn covenant.
155. (They have incurred divine displeasure): In that they broke their covenant; that they rejected the signs of Allah. that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right; that they said, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah.s Word; We need no more)";- Nay, Allah hath set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy, and little is it they believe;-
156. That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
157. That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
158. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
159. And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
160. For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain (foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them;- in that they hindered many from Allah.s Way;-
161. That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among them who reject faith a grievous punishment.
162. But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what hath been revealed to thee and what was revealed before thee: And (especially) those who establish regular prayer and practise regular charity and believe in Allah and in the Last Day: To them shall We soon give a great reward.

Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for the great confidence you place in us, and we implore Allah Almighty to help us serve His cause and render our work for His Sake. In the first place, we would like to stress that Muslims believe that Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was not crucified. Allah saved and raised him, and someone else was crucified in his place. Jesus (may Allah be pleased with him) will return before the Day of Judgment. However, he will not come back as a Prophet with a new Divine message; rather he will follow the religion of Islam as taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). After his return, in sha’ Allah, Jesus’ mission will be to destroy evil and kill the Anti-Christ. Responding to the question, Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi, former President of the Islamic Society of North America, states the following: "There is a great deal written on this subject by the commentators of the Qur'an and many other Muslim writers. This is not the place to go in any detail about this subject. You may read some good Qur'anic commentaries such as Yusuf Ali's translation and commentary or Maududi's Towards Understanding the Qur'an and other writings on this subject. Briefly, let me tell you that Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an: “And concerning their saying, 'We killed the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's Messenger.' They killed him not, nor crucified, but it appeared so to them. Indeed those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it. They have no (true) knowledge about it except that they follow conjecture. Surely, they did not kill him. But Allah did take him up unto Himself. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.” (An-Nisaa’: 157-158) Thus, according to Allah's testimony in the Qur'an, the crucifixion did not take place and Jesus was neither killed nor died on the cross. In the Gospel of Luke it is also written: "And he (Jesus) withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, 'Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup (meaning death) from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.' And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him…" (Luke 22:41-43) Some Muslim scholars such as Ibn Taymiyah in his book al-Jawab As-Sahih have expressed that Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed to Allah to remove the cup of death from him. Allah Almighty who loved and cared for Jesus did not refuse his prayer. It is Allah's way that He accepts the prayers of His Prophets and Messengers. Thus, Allah accepted Jesus' prayer and willed what Jesus himself willed. Allah saved Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) from the pain and agony of death on the cross. He sent His angels to strengthen him (i.e., to support him and to give him the assurance that Allah would save him), and then they took him away from those who tried to kill him. The crowd, however, became confused and some of them thought that they killed Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) Allah has informed us that this indeed did not happen. There were many groups among early followers of Jesus who also believed that Jesus was saved from the death on the cross. They did not believe that he was crucified. However, slowly the doctrine of crucifixion (and with it the doctrines of redemption and atonement) became the orthodox doctrine and the Church condemned other positions. The Qur'an took the early and the true position in this matter. The Qur'an has emphasized both the humanity of Jesus as well as his greatness as a Messenger of Allah."
