The Glendale Fire Department hopes you all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving Day.
It's the time of year when many of us barely have time to enjoy a cold turkey sandwich before thinking about holiday lights and Christmas trees.
Glendale Fire wants to remind you of the importance of safety as you begin decorating your home.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, on average, Christmas trees are the ignition source of approximately 300 U.S. home fires each year, resulting in 14 fatalities, 21 injuries and $16.8 million in property damage.
The association reports that 44 percent of Christmas tree fires are caused by an electrical problem or malfunction.
Here are some safety tips from the Glendale Fire Department and the NFPA:
• Make sure that electrical cords are in good working order.
• If you put up a real Christmas tree, regularly check for fresh, green needles. Remember to keep your tree watered at all times and make sure it is at least three feet from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, heating vents and other sources of heat. Don't place the tree where it blocks an exit.
• Ensure outside lights, decorations and extension cords are rated for outside use.
• Carefully inspect each electrical decoration - new or old - before plugging it in.
• Don't use staples or nails to hang light strings.
• Test all smoke alarms.
• Create and practice your home escape plans.
Season's greetings from every member of the Glendale Fire Department.

The happiness of Doing REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH
In al-Qur `an (QS Ali Imran [03]: 193), mentioning God characteristics Ulul Albab, namely, that they berzikir remember God while standing or sitting or to lie in state. They are the people who always berzikir any time and in any conditions.
They berzikir to thank God above khidmah, and they sit on a few qurbah (closeness with God). Enough for their happiness, as God said in a qudsi word, "I was sitting friend (jalis) who I remember REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH."
Why God became a friend who sat REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH remember? For, REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH is a sign of guardian, evidence wushul (have come to God), marks the beginning of truth, pure and its final destination. And, all the merit of empty REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH remember God.
Sufi large, the Imam al-Qusyairi when interpreting the Al-Baqarah verse 152, "Therefore, you remember to me, I will remember (also) to you," said that as a reply from REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH you to God, He will bestow additional bounty Him to you. If you remember Him in your heart, He will remember you in his resignation. And, if you remember him in the crowd population of the earth, He will remember you in the crowd of the population of heaven.
They are many berzikir to God, had their hearts will always in a state of wakefulness. They will exit from the natural darkness of the natural light, from darkness ghaflah (a negligent) to light hudhur (the presence of liver), and losses from the attitude of lawlessness obedient attitude toward profits. As the emphasis of God in his word following.
"O those who believe, Remember (the name) of God, REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH that as much as possible. And glorify Him morning and evening. He is a mercy to you and His angels (begged for forgiveness), so that He remove you from darkness to light (the light). And He is Merciful to the believers. " (QS. Al-Ahzab [33]: 41-43).
DHIKR, as has been raised in previous articles, not only limited to cleanse his rosary, tahmid praise Him, and He mentions asthma, but it includes things that binds a believer with Rabb's ties with adherence. In other words, REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH include all charities such as the observance of prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage, to read Al-Quran, bershalawat to the prophet, deepen the laws of Sharia, to help other people, think of natural phenomena, spend some property, and others. God has promised much for the good of their God-given berzikir within the meaning of the practices, as emphasized obedience of God in his word.
Those who read the Book of Allah and establish prayer and spend part of the provision that We have bestowed them with tacit and overt, they expect that business will not be losers, so that He will reward them and add them to them from His bounty. Allah is Oft-Forgiving Being Thankful. "(QS Faathir [35]: 29-30)
Thus the happiness will be achieved by people who always REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH, in the sense that the practices obedience, God will remove them from darkness to light, the light; their business to welcome losers, and God will reward them refine and add to them from His bounty.
In view of Sufism, REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH is the fastest ways and means to cleanse the heart and soul. For, pezikir REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH will be interesting to natural light. After that, REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH will withdraw to the natural mind. DHIKR for the mind like a lantern for the torch run in the middle of the night darkness to light, the morning show, and the morning light does not need to make the lantern torch again
About the happiness of those who learner REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH, people Sufi poet, Ali `Aql berdendang in syairnya.
Berzikir let you mention the name of God with all your power.
Berzikir to the people of God will lift him to be his paramour.
How may I forget my Sang How are writers berzikir mention his name at usual morning and evening.
