November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

That's very true.  If you tell the imams that you read the Quran independently and utilize it as the Sole Criterion to detect the violations in the society, they will be furious.  They will never agree with you nor will they encourage your reading of the Quran.  This is the big reason why even the Arab readers hardly know of the contents of the Glorious Quran.

Another thing I've also observed.   There are so many bad and false hadiths that make the hadith followers very nervous and shy.  These hadithers often say not to interpret the hadith yourself but to ask the imams to interpret it for you.  LOL! Cheesy  And when you tell the imams to interpret a bad hadith,  they will either tell you that hadith is "not authentic" but won't explain why an unauthentic hadith is retained in a collection called "sahih."  Or, they will give a completely wrong explanation to hide their embarrassment .. an explanation which is clearly not reflected in that bad hadith.  I recall, when I was going through the horrifying experience of studying the hadith and was getting one shocker after another with the bulk of nonsense it contains, I told a neighbor of mine who was a staunch hadither, that Bukhari & co. was really mind boggling because it writes terrible things.  And she jumped up and said "don't try to understand it yourself.  Hadith is very special, we can't follow it ourselves.  You must take it to a respected sheikh to explain it to you."    LaaughingAway  I couldn't help cracking out laughing.  Reading the hadith is bad enough.  Reading it with the help of an imam is drowning yourself into professional & malicious ignorance.
