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.

Salam and thank you sister for this very well researched work. 

Cultures of beheading and 'honor killing' are just a couple of those totally social customs that existed worldwide since much before Islam, even before Christianity, but have been pinned to the Islamic Faith by different institutions with different motives.  Before blaming the outsiders, I would blame my own Muslim community for this gross misunderstanding and misreporting.  It all started because the Muslims have gradually slipped into the ignorance and apathy of the pre-Islamic age.  They've brought back those former social system by changing its title and calling it "Islam."  Acts like 'honor killing' and public beheadings are thus pinned to Islam because of the so-called present followers of Islam who have refused  to give them up.  For the non-Muslim hardliners this is like achieving their goal on a silver platter.  Since they have now given up these practices, they have conveniently hidden their own sordid history.  And it has become super simple for them to paint the present-day Muslims as "primitive" because these so-called Muslims still adhere to those same laws which was rife among non-Muslims, Jews and Christians in the yester years.

After so many generations, the present so-called Muslims are guilty of yet another blunder.  First they turn back to those old practices which Islam had abolished, and secondly, they fool themselves by thinking that by bringing back these practices they are following Islam.  O Allah! I seek refuge in You from suggestions of the evil ones.

Indeed, the Quran is the first source of law that brought about the act of intervention for the purpose of granting clemency to a convicted prisoner.  That's because forgiveness is the best course in accordance with Quranic principles.  Alhumdulilah.

I further appreciate your clarification on the issue of witnesses.  Yes, this means professional witnesses for reasons of official registration of the sentence.  It doesn't mean inviting the general public to watch the execution like a sport.  Here I would also add that many members of the public globally are just as insensitive as those who implement such laws.  Whether ancient or modern times, many individuals among the public are inherently drawn to watching public executions, if not directly then indirectly.  An example is the execution of Timothy McWeigh in the U.S. just a few years ago.  He was executed by lethal injection.  The family members of those who were killed in the Oklahoma bombing made a special request that they should be shown his execution on TV because they wanted to watch him die.  Their request was accepted and more than 200 people were shown McWeigh's execution on a closed circuit camera.  At best, I would interpret this as a refined version of the practice of watching a public beheading in Saudi Arabia.
