It was after this event that he proclaimed himself to be a prophet of Allah SWT<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rRPMeuHLJB0/UAcZc2ViGII/AAAAAAAAHNI/APHNYBGV0CA/s1600/DSCF0043.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rRPMeuHLJB0/UAcZc2ViGII/AAAAAAAAHNI/APHNYBGV0CA/s320/DSCF0043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605831284070530" border="0" /></a><br />According to tradition, Hadith and historical accounts from the companions, when Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) was nearly 40, he had been prone to spending long hours in secluded prayer and speculating over the aspects of creation around him. Tormented by the social unrest, injustice, widespread discrimination particularly against women, bloodshed among tribes and abuse of tribal authorities prevalent in pre-Islamic Arabia, Prophet Muhammad PHUB went up the mountains to pray and contemplate in seclusion. His respite from the social unrest was not asceticism or monasticism as he did not desert his family or adopted seclusion from the society<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mB92ZxBqcts/UAcZd3r2rYI/AAAAAAAAHNg/rMcxBBcE4qA/s1600/27little-boy-reads-quran2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mB92ZxBqcts/UAcZd3r2rYI/AAAAAAAAHNg/rMcxBBcE4qA/s320/27little-boy-reads-quran2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605848825998722" border="0" /></a><br />His wife Khadija used to provide him with simple food and water, and then he would head directly for the hills and ravines in the neighborhood of Mecca. One of these in particular was his favorite resort — a cave named Hira in the Jabal al Nur mountain.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FRT3ayHcCxQ/UAcZef7xR3I/AAAAAAAAHNs/JCIPS5V-Hf0/s1600/0.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FRT3ayHcCxQ/UAcZef7xR3I/AAAAAAAAHNs/JCIPS5V-Hf0/s320/0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605859630172018" border="0" /></a><br />Only 3 km from Mecca, it was a small cave 3.5 m long and 1.6 m wide. He would always go there and invite wayfarers to share his modest provisions<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MzixyaKPE2M/UAcZcjTeDkI/AAAAAAAAHM8/FeQLQNUvYN0/s1600/g_quran_gold.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 247px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MzixyaKPE2M/UAcZcjTeDkI/AAAAAAAAHM8/FeQLQNUvYN0/s320/g_quran_gold.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605826175143490" border="0" /></a><br />He had entered himself into a period of privacy, he reportedly began to experience visions for six months. In Ramadan the Qur'an began to be revealed to him in several parts.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ud1xhQXKak/UAcZI3Jmp8I/AAAAAAAAHMY/w4991yw-JSw/s1600/makkah.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ud1xhQXKak/UAcZI3Jmp8I/AAAAAAAAHMY/w4991yw-JSw/s320/makkah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605487905089474" border="0" /></a><br />Prophet Muhammad's (PHUB) wife 'Aishah bint Abu Bakr later gave the following narration of that most significant event in the Muhammad's life: <p>"Forerunners of the Revelation assumed the form of true visions that would strikingly come true all the time. After that, solitude became dear to him and he would go to the cave, Hira, to engage in devotion there for a certain number of nights before returning to his family, and then he would return for provisions for a similar stay. At length, unexpectedly, the Truth the angel Jibra'il came to Muhammed and said,</p> <p>The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read. The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said:</p> <p><br />Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful</i>.</p> <p>Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>Read: In the name of your Lord Who created.</i> Quran: 96:1<br /></p> <p>Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>Created man from a clot of blood.</i> Quran: 96:2<br /></p> <p>Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>اقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>Read: And your Lord is the Most generous,</i> Quran: 96:3<br /></p> <p>Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>Who taught [man the use of] the pen,</i> Quran: 96:4<br /></p> <p>Arabic Text: <span style="font-size:130%;color:green;"><b>عَلَّمَ الْإِنسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ</b></span><br />Translation: <i>and taught man that which he did not know.</i> Quran: 96:5<br /></p> <div class="thumb tright"> <div class="thumbinner" style="width:142px;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8xK0Mq3ogg/UAcZJTWOJSI/AAAAAAAAHMk/cC5MjAgS6DE/s1600/majlis-talim-habib-umar1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8xK0Mq3ogg/UAcZJTWOJSI/AAAAAAAAHMk/cC5MjAgS6DE/s320/majlis-talim-habib-umar1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605495474201890" border="0" /></a></div> </div> <p>Then Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely.

Khadijah said: "My cousin! Listen to your nephew!" Waraqah said: "O my nephew! What did you see?" When Muhammad told him what had happened to him, Waraqah replied: "This is ‘<i>Namus</i>’ (i.e., the angel who is entrusted with Divine Secrets) that Allah sent to Moses. I wish I were younger. I wish I could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Muhammad asked: "Will they drive me out?" Waraqah answered in the affirmative and said: "Anyone who came with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should be alive 'til that day, then I would support you strongly." A few days later Waraqah died, and the revelations also paused for a while.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sTnrX-zGJw/UAcZIKiLyRI/AAAAAAAAHMA/ZKgKX6EmtRE/s1600/telunjuk-ada-kalimat-allah.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8sTnrX-zGJw/UAcZIKiLyRI/AAAAAAAAHMA/ZKgKX6EmtRE/s320/telunjuk-ada-kalimat-allah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605475928590610" border="0" /></a><br />At-Tabari and Ibn Hisham reported that Muhammad left the cave of Hira after being surprised by the Revelation, but later on, returned to the cave and continued his solitude. Subsequently, he returned to Mecca. At-Tabari reported on this incident, saying: After mentioning the coming of the Revelation, the Messenger of Allah said: "I have never abhorred anyone more than a poet or a mad man. I can not stand looking at either of them. I will never tell anyone of Quraish of my Revelation. I will climb a mountain and throw myself down and die. That will relieve me. I went to do that but halfway up the mountain, I heard a voice from the sky saying ‘O Muhammad! You are the Messenger of Allah and I am Gabriel.’ I looked upwards and saw Gabriel in the form of a man putting his legs on the horizon. He said: ‘O Muhammad You are the Messenger of Allah and I am Gabriel.’ I stopped and looked at him. His sight distracted my attention from what I had intended to do. I stood in my place transfixed. I tried to shift my eyes away from him. He was in every direction I looked at. I stopped in my place without any movement until Khadijah sent someone to look for me. He went down to Mecca and came back while I was standing in the same place. Gabriel then left, and I went back home. I found Khadijah at home, so I sat very close to her. She asked: ‘Father of Al-Qasim! Where have you been? I sent someone to look for you. He went to Mecca and returned to me.’ I told her of what I had seen. She replied: ‘It is an auspicious sign, O my husband. Pull yourself together, I swear by Allah that you are a Messenger for this nation.’ Then she stood up and went to Waraqa and informed him. Waraqa said: ‘I swear by Allah that he has received the same <i>Namus</i>, the angel that was sent to Moses. He is the Prophet of this nation. Tell him to be patient.’ She came back to him and told him of Waraqa’s words. When the Messenger of Allah finished his solitary stay and went down to Makkah, he went to Waraqa, who told him: ‘You are the Prophet of this nation. I swear by Allah that you have received the same angel that was sent to Moses<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ChyZJmHmo2A/UAcRIiTIOQI/AAAAAAAAHLA/b8ymQ2zsv0s/s1600/quranwallpaperoftheday.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ChyZJmHmo2A/UAcRIiTIOQI/AAAAAAAAHLA/b8ymQ2zsv0s/s320/quranwallpaperoftheday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766596686214871298" border="0" /></a><br />Allahuma Solli Alla Syedina Muhammad<br />Wa Alla Alli Syedina Muhammad<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lg0oKKRb3Jk/UAcZIas37ZI/AAAAAAAAHMM/ey6SqNdqbzk/s1600/Picture%2Bfor%2Bblog%2B143.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Lg0oKKRb3Jk/UAcZIas37ZI/AAAAAAAAHMM/ey6SqNdqbzk/s320/Picture%2Bfor%2Bblog%2B143.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766605480268393874" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LEMJHKsuOPA/UAcRH8W-_WI/AAAAAAAAHK0/sSwQ0mqYI1k/s1600/subhanframe.jpg"></a>abg.CFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276490121445864217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918510433613308153.post-16975806394052778452012-07-25T08:11:00.000+08:002012-07-25T08:11:00.126+08:00fine tune...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mQLc0RnCtbQ/UANt-Xy87cI/AAAAAAAAHFg/IZqn6JUNX1E/s1600/kaseJig.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mQLc0RnCtbQ/UANt-Xy87cI/AAAAAAAAHFg/IZqn6JUNX1E/s320/kaseJig.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5765572866271407554" border="0" /></a><br />kase jig<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wb_qIkeQTDw/UANughXncrI/AAAAAAAAHF4/Zm4sog1-iYk/s1600/rod.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 223px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wb_qIkeQTDw/UANughXncrI/AAAAAAAAHF4/Zm4sog1-iYk/s320/rod.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5765573452956660402" border="0" /></a><br />the tuning was in good order....<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_xSdOtgEEuo/UANt90sBweI/AAAAAAAAHE8/Yf-8ZalN6Ms/s1600/shimano.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_xSdOtgEEuo/UANt90sBweI/AAAAAAAAHE8/Yf-8ZalN6Ms/s320/shimano.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5765572856847122914" border="0" /></a><br />aint far from jerudong's base<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UMNuWmtPLZI/UANt-rVOyaI/AAAAAAAAHFs/bdjMepuMRa4/s1600/ungah.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UMNuWmtPLZI/UANt-rVOyaI/AAAAAAAAHFs/bdjMepuMRa4/s320/ungah.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5765572871515457954" border="0" /></a><br />the mangrove jacks!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gLV7jsps6jg/UANt-NrvZ8I/AAAAAAAAHFI/e9nnqPSRIGI/s1600/softBait.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gLV7jsps6jg/UANt-NrvZ8I/AAAAAAAAHFI/e9nnqPSRIGI/s320/softBait.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5765572863556806594" border="0" /></a><br />soft bait... it was a success too!abg.CFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276490121445864217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918510433613308153.post-72290774722435214492012-07-19T10:30:00.002+08:002012-07-19T10:30:00.274+08:00Ramadan Kareem<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hYKI9ijatCg/UAb0-AcdGmI/AAAAAAAAHIE/nEMmVkUzO-A/s1600/Ramadan06.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hYKI9ijatCg/UAb0-AcdGmI/AAAAAAAAHIE/nEMmVkUzO-A/s320/Ramadan06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766565719002913378" border="0" /></a><br />It is the month of generosity.

[Qur'an, 2:185] A terrible error prevalent among people is to talk about Ramadan just as they talk about the obligation of fasting, as if Ramadan and fasting are synonymous, each carrying the meaning of the other and not anything more nor less. Yet, fasting is one of many acts of worship in Ramadan.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-05q-RfdIBEI/UAb6TQi_mlI/AAAAAAAAHJo/-HcV8nxxBd0/s1600/ramdn.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-05q-RfdIBEI/UAb6TQi_mlI/AAAAAAAAHJo/-HcV8nxxBd0/s320/ramdn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766571581660699218" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--tUS5cF1HHU/UAb4fS_LMYI/AAAAAAAAHI8/beSFoeuBpzQ/s1600/0.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--tUS5cF1HHU/UAb4fS_LMYI/AAAAAAAAHI8/beSFoeuBpzQ/s320/0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766569589450944898" border="0" /></a>abg.CFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276490121445864217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918510433613308153.post-13200447906327083552012-07-14T10:30:00.003+08:002012-07-14T10:30:01.890+08:00Sixty Six<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vdSykwXrJLQ/UABfWFcraqI/AAAAAAAAHB0/gL3P4dxISHM/s1600/s5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vdSykwXrJLQ/UABfWFcraqI/AAAAAAAAHB0/gL3P4dxISHM/s320/s5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5764712356058458786" border="0" /></a><br /><i>The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A servant of God will remain standing on the Day of Judgment until he is questioned about his (time on earth) and how he used it; about his knowledge and how he utilized it; about his wealth and from where he acquired it and in what (activities) he spent it; and about his body and how he used it."</i> - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 148 <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HRdN_po2Qi0/UABfVzDMOBI/AAAAAAAAHBo/RZ_W9UillbA/s1600/s4.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HRdN_po2Qi0/UABfVzDMOBI/AAAAAAAAHBo/RZ_W9UillbA/s320/s4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5764712351119718418" border="0" /></a><br />Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “<strong>Indeed, the leader is only a shield behind whom they fight and he protects them.

It is also a factor which pushes people towards this path. Religion has two fundamentals. The first one is connected to reason, a path of clarification through which religion clarifies to people the road their lives take and where they will return. The second fundamental is the creation of a motive within people to encourage them to <strong>act</strong> in conformity with the insight their intellect provides them with. Intellect addresses the heart, the soul and the ego which illustrate the motive for action and progress. It intellectually reveals to people their path in all aspects of their lives" - Habib Ali Al Jufri<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQP-2aZqQ6I/TxmMwHdPR6I/AAAAAAAAGps/cea4GJWtHrk/s1600/165720_1730169661586_1458821035_31820616_4783375_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQP-2aZqQ6I/TxmMwHdPR6I/AAAAAAAAGps/cea4GJWtHrk/s320/165720_1730169661586_1458821035_31820616_4783375_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699741561677367202" border="0" /></a><br />He is also a contributor to A Common Word Between Us & You, an Islamic-Christian dialogue.

"Japan has been through a lot in the last year due to the disaster," Kimura told AP Television News. "Japan needs to hang in there. So I tried hard myself and ended up buying the most expensive one."<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0ufLqfHuoUg/TwXKM6S3wmI/AAAAAAAAGiA/QMCKvoPQKmA/s1600/2563293348_1c1fb98f87.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0ufLqfHuoUg/TwXKM6S3wmI/AAAAAAAAGiA/QMCKvoPQKmA/s320/2563293348_1c1fb98f87.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694179627035509346" border="0" /></a><br />Last year's (2011) bid winners were Hong Kong entrepreneur Ricky Cheng, who runs the Hong Kong-based chain Itamae Sushi, and an upscale Japanese restaurant in Tokyo's Ginza district.<br />Kimura also said he wanted to keep the fish in Japan "rather than let it get taken overseas."<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzMimkCu59o/TwXHVbVBOdI/AAAAAAAAGhg/45lmOF4veO8/s1600/food_tuna.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WzMimkCu59o/TwXHVbVBOdI/AAAAAAAAGhg/45lmOF4veO8/s320/food_tuna.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694176474806958546" border="0" /></a><br />This year's record tuna was caught off Oma, just north of the tsunami-battered coast.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KGPun_0pbKo/TwXHUgUsmVI/AAAAAAAAGg8/V-mIb6bVCw0/s1600/tuna-5_2100297b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KGPun_0pbKo/TwXHUgUsmVI/AAAAAAAAGg8/V-mIb6bVCw0/s320/tuna-5_2100297b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694176458967914834" border="0" /></a><br />Bluefin tuna is prized for its tender red meat. The best slices of fatty bluefin - called 'o-toro' - can sell for 2,000 yen (£15) per piece at tony Tokyo sushi bars.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sXG7hZsUXCs/TwXHU-XHE9I/AAAAAAAAGhY/Gj3XJjp1NOs/s1600/japanleading.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sXG7hZsUXCs/TwXHU-XHE9I/AAAAAAAAGhY/Gj3XJjp1NOs/s320/japanleading.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694176467031102418" border="0" /></a><br />Japanese eat 80 per cent of the Atlantic and Pacific bluefins caught - the most sought-after by sushi lovers. Japanese fishermen, however, face growing calls for tighter fishing rules amid declining tuna stocks worldwide<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SB9Uv5s5dFc/TwXHVnhi7VI/AAAAAAAAGho/bGO495lQiLE/s1600/628x471.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SB9Uv5s5dFc/TwXHVnhi7VI/AAAAAAAAGho/bGO495lQiLE/s320/628x471.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694176478080724306" border="0" /></a><br />In November 2010, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas voted to cut the bluefin fishing quota in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean by about four percent, from 13,500 to 12,900 metric tons annually. It also agreed on measures to try to improve enforcement of quotas on bluefin. The decision was strongly criticised by environmental groups, which hoped to see bluefin fishing slashed or suspended<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TN14rjdVgaY/TwXDXOZQGZI/AAAAAAAAGgg/Twk_ImlvE8A/s1600/tuna2_1433277a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 193px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TN14rjdVgaY/TwXDXOZQGZI/AAAAAAAAGgg/Twk_ImlvE8A/s320/tuna2_1433277a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694172107648276882" border="0" /></a><br />Delicacy ... pieces of bluefin tuna sell in sushi restaurants for £15<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZTf8WO766Y8/TwXKM-PnZ6I/AAAAAAAAGh4/uEvmckv5Vsc/s1600/sushi_zanmai_2_01.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZTf8WO766Y8/TwXKM-PnZ6I/AAAAAAAAGh4/uEvmckv5Vsc/s320/sushi_zanmai_2_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694179628095596450" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vPBQin-rZJM/TwXDWwdo0uI/AAAAAAAAGgY/Lg3Sf68Tn6M/s1600/Tuna1_682_1433276a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vPBQin-rZJM/TwXDWwdo0uI/AAAAAAAAGgY/Lg3Sf68Tn6M/s320/Tuna1_682_1433276a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694172099613610722" border="0" /></a><br />chefs hold a slice of the tuna at the Sushi Zanmai restaurant in Tokyo<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxMQlDb44AU/TwXDXEuqMFI/AAAAAAAAGgs/gfzCeN567Zw/s1600/tuna3_1433278a.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dxMQlDb44AU/TwXDXEuqMFI/AAAAAAAAGgs/gfzCeN567Zw/s320/tuna3_1433278a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694172105053712466" border="0" /></a><br />£500,000 bluefin tuna...<br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><br />credits: thesun.co.uk/ google/ various info</span>abg.CFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11276490121445864217noreply@blogger.com0
