It's That Time Of Year Again....

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen. That time of year that we all love has arrived once again (a little too soon if you ask me).

The dreaded final's week is upon us once again.

I must go slap physics and its fellow mates on the wrist for being so naughty all semester. But before I leave, here are a couple of very useful duas/prayers for all us students in this time of stress. There are english translations for those that don't understand the arabic words. Make dua that I kill my exams and I make dua for you all. Good Luck!!!
