They Called it the Crash of 2004
...or what happened???
by Talal Sarwani
Assalaamu alaikum, InshaAllah all you mashaAllah readers have been doing well and missing Hidaya. Bottom line... Hidaya's web server suffered a crash that caused the database in which the articles and comments are stored to be lost. The striking part is that even the server on which the backups reside went kaput. Anyway, long story short: We're in the process of reconstructing everything that was on the site. All the articles with their comments should be up within the week, inshaAllah. You'll see the site gradually increasing in content over the next few days. We're also back to our regularly scheduled columns, inshaAllah. Sorry 'bout the construction mess, but it's being worked on to be fixed ASAP. As usual, visit often and always, and enjoy all that is Hidaya.
jazaakumAllah khair wa alaikum as salaam,

p.s. Be sure to comment on the re-design, and offer any suggestions you may have, inshaAllah.
