Sorry, something went wrong.

NEW YORK (PIX11) - Facebook users were shut out of their accounts after the social networking site went down Friday morning.

The failure didn’t affect everyone however, some were still able to access the site.  Others received the cryptic message “Sorry, something went wrong.”

It is still unclear if Facebook went down as the result of a malicious attack.

Lirik Lagu Selamat Hari Raya – Saloma

Selamat aidil fitri
Kepada saudara serta saudari
Setahun hanya sekali
Merayakan hari yang mulia ini
Di masa bulan Ramadan
Kita berpuasa hingga sebulan
Pabila Syawal menjelma
Hari raya disambut dengan gembira
(Korus 1)
Miskin kaya memakai baju baru warna-warni
Mengunjungi sanak kaum famili
Sungguh hebat pemandangan di hari raya ini
Tua muda wajah berseri-seri
Selamat hari raya
Pada saudari saudara semua
Marilah dengan gembira
Merayakan aidilfitri yang mulia
Di sana kelihatan
Bermacam kuih ketupat dan rendang
[ Saloma Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Mintak bu kuih sepotong
Saya mahu makan kerna perut kosong
Dam dam dum bunyi mercun
Kanak-kanak segera datang berduyun
Dam dam dum mercun berdentum
Semaraklah hari raya ini tahun

Maafkanlah jika ada terlanjur perkataan
Diharap supaya jangan disimpan
Kuberdoa selamat panjang umur murah rezeki
Semoga Tuhan akan memberkati
Selamat hari raya
Hari untuk kita bersuka ria
Selamat mari ucapkan
Untuk kita hingga sampai tahun depan

Muslims around the world celebrated with prayer and food during the Eid al-Fitr festival, marking the end of Ramadan 2014 or the Islamic holy month of fasting.  Reuters

Muslims around the world celebrated with prayer and food during the Eid al-Fitr festival on Monday, marking the end of Ramadan 2014, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The annual holiday, which lasts for three days, marks the anniversary of the Quran being revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

There was some confusion this year as to when Eid would be celebrated, The Guardian reported, but both the Saudi Press Agency and the Fiqh Council of North America declared Monday, July 28, as the end of Ramadan.

The three-day festival, sometimes abbreviated as “Eid” or “Eid Mubarak,” marks the end of the monthlong daytime fasting during Ramadan, which began on June 28 this year. Eid al Fitr begins after the new crescent moon appears and falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, when Muslims celebrate unity. During Eid, many join in Islamic prayer, known as salat while saying "Allahu Akbar," or "God is Great," and feasting.

Ramadan is an annual celebration held during the ninth month of the 12-month Islamic calendar, starting after the sighting of the new moon. The holy month began this year on June 28 at sunset, or “rukyah,” when the moon was spotted. The celebration lasts for 29 or 30 days until the next new moon appears, which happened on Monday. The month of fasting is celebrated by more than 1.5 billion Muslims around the world, including in the U.S., where there are nearly 2.6 million Muslims, according to the Pew Research Center.

The purpose of Ramadan is to focus on spirituality, prayer and withholding any acts of violence during the fast. Many Muslims around the world are expected to participate -- with the exception of the elderly, sick and pregnant -- and wish each other "Ramadan Kareem" or "Ramadan Mubarak."

For the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Ed al-Fitr, Arabic for “breaking the fast.” Muslim families will exchange gives, sit down for meals and pray together for three days.

Traditional greetings during Eid al-Fitr are “Eid Mubarak,” which means "Blessed Eid," and “Eid Said,” meaning "Happy Eid." Muslims also donate food, called “Zakat al-Fitr” or “charity of breaking the fast,” so that the poor can also celebrate the holiday.

During Ramadan, Muslims are expected to refrain from food and drink and abstain from smoking and sex from dawn to dusk as one of the five pillars of Islam. The breaking of the fast, or iftaar, begins at dusk by eating dates.  Some Muslims have slightly different variations and have broader definitions of practices during Ramadan.

Tingkat atas rumah Ku Nan terbakar

Kebakaran teruk memusnahkan aras empat rumah Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor di Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur, semalam. - Utusan/RASHID MAHFOF

KUALA LUMPUR 8 Mei - Tingkat atas rumah empat tingkat milik Setiausaha Agung UMNO, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor di Jalan Duta 5, Taman Duta di sini musnah dalam kebakaran yang berlaku awal pagi ini.
Kebakaran di rumah itu yang didiami oleh Tengku Adnan sejak 25 tahun dipercayai bermula dari bilik anak lelakinya, Tengku Mohd. Faiz, 15, pada pukul 5.30 pagi berikutan kerosakan sistem pendingin hawa.
Menurut beliau, berlaku percikan api dari pendingin hawa itu ketika anaknya sedang tidur menyebabkan dia bingkas bangun dan mengejutkan semua ahli keluarganya yang sedang tidur.
"Ketika kejadian, terdapat 16 orang di dalam rumah ini termasuk ahli keluarga dan lima pembantu rumah. Saya segera mengejutkan mereka semua supaya keluar dari rumah sebelum menghubungi bomba.
"Tingkat empat rumah yang menempatkan tiga bilik tidur, ruang tamu, dapur dan ruang makan musnah 100 peratus," katanya ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian, di sini hari ini.
Tengku Adnan yang juga Ahli Parlimen Putrajaya sepatutnya menghadiri majlis perasmian hafalan al-Quran kanak-anak di Putrajaya hari ini memberitahu, beliau tidak menyangka kejadian sedemikian menimpa keluarganya berikutan pendingin hawa tersebut baru sahaja dipasang di bilik anaknya itu petang semalam.
"Saya dan keluarga reda dengan kejadian ini dan akan berpindah ke kediaman di Impiana Tunku, Kenny Hills sementara kerja baik pulih dijalankan," katanya.
Beliau dan ahli keluarganya berjaya menyelamatkan sebahagian barang-barang peribadi termasuk peti besi yang terletak di aras empat tersebut.
Dalam pada itu, Ketua Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat Daerah Sentul, Halim Mustafar berkata, seramai 46 anggota bersama enam jentera dari Balai Hang Tuah, Sentul, Sri Hartamas dan Jinjang serta Jabatan Forensik dikerahkan ke lokasi kejadian selepas menerima maklumat kira-kira pukul 6 pagi.
"Api merebak dengan cepat berikutan dinding bangunan diperbuat daripada kayu yang mudah terbakar.
"Pihak forensik masih menyiasat punca sebenar kejadian dan anggaran kerugian," katanya.

Dangerous and on the loose

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli Abd Hir is not dead. He is alive and remains one of the world’s most wanted and elusive terrorists.

The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation has put a RM16mil price on his head and security agencies have stepped up their operations in the hunt for this dangerous fugitive, especially in view of events in Syria and Iraq.

They fear a resurgence of terror following the call by Abu Bakar Baghdadi – now regarded as the most dangerous terrorist in the world – to radical Muslims worldwide to rise and fight for the Islamic State, the new foundation of a Caliphate.

Regional security agencies said they were now re-looking at the movements of Zulkifli “in the light of events in the Middle East and its impact on South-East Asia.”

Bukit Aman Special Branch’s Counter Terrorism Division principal assistant director Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ayob Khan confirmed that Zulkifli, also known as Marwan, was still alive – despite reports that he had been killed in an airstrike on Feb 2, 2012.

“We are aware of reports that said he was killed a few years ago. That is not true. We believe he is hiding in southern Philippines,” he said yesterday.

He added that his division was now tracking Marwan down and monitoring those close to him.

Asked if Zulkifli might be involved in the local militant movement and in sending fighters to Syria and Iraq, SAC Ayob said police have not ruled out such a possibility.

It is learnt that Muar-born Zulkifli had a wife in Malaysia but married three other Philippine nationals when he went into hiding.

The 48-year-old US trained engineer, who is a bomb making expert, has close links to the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group that is now active in the Philippines.

Intelligence sources said the Kumpulan Mujahiddin Malaysia (KMM) leader is regarded as a supplier of bombs for radical groups, and a trainer of their fighters.

“That is why his arrest is vital in our war against terror. He is part of the Jemaah Islamiyah group that was responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 200 people,” an analyst said.

His brother, Rahmat Abdhir, a US citizen, is now in detention in Guantanamo, following his arrest in California for conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.

Zulkifli, like other KMM members, had travelled in the late 1980s to Afghanistan to join the resistance against the Russians, according to reports.

On returning to Malaysia, he hooked up with other Malaysian Afghan veterans to form KMM, which aimed to form a regional Islamic state via violence.

KMM members have been linked to the murder of Lunas assemblyman Dr Joe Fernandez in 2002, the bombing of a church and a Hindu temple, and also the attack on the Guar Chempedak police station on Feb 4, 2001.

Those arrested under the Internal Security Act included several PAS grassroots leaders such as Zainon Ismail, Noorashid Sakid, Ahmad Tajuddin and Nik Adli Nik Aziz, the son of the then Kelantan Mentri Besar
