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.

I read something on Live Science website tonight which I had noticed first when I was a kid.  We had a small green lawn in front of our house.  The only problem with that lawn was that it was infested with ant hills.  No matter how many times we'd destroy those ant hills, they'd be re-built in no time and leave us feeling irritated and defeated!   Some neighbors told us that the best way of getting rid of ant hills was to pour boiling water over them.  That seemed to cruel to us, so we'd destroy them by simply splashing water from the sprinkler which I'm sure the ants must have found pleasant in that hot tropical weather Smiley  However, it did mess up the ant hills.  We would see the red and black ants streaming out of their 'homes' panic-stricken and running helter-skelter.  Many of them would also get crushed beneath our feet accidently.  During such occasions my sister, brother and myself would often observe many of these ants lying as if lifeless on dry spots of the ant hills untouched by water, and we were aware that we never stepped on them either.  After a few minutes when our gaze would again return to those same spots, the ants would be gone or some of them would be getting ready to go.  As kids, we didn't understand their theatrics.  Later in life I never thought much about that, till this evening when I read the article.  It says that red ants (also known as fire ants) are awfully smart.  They can sense when they're about to be attacked.  Before the attacker comes real close, they feign they're dead by curling up and looking lifeless.  As soon as the attacker walks away, they gradually uncurl, straighten themselves (perhaps they must also be looking thru the corners of their eyes and winking at each other Smiley ) and walk away too.  Isn't it awesome as well as comical?  Cheesy

Hmmmm, very good piece sister rose.  Alhamdulilah.  It also reminds me about the mention of Prophet Solomon in the Quraan - how he could understand the language of ants.  Modern science has proven only recently that all animals have their own languages in which they communicate with one another.

And yeah, as for these red ants, they are really smart.  I also seriously think that when we get bitten by red ants, it's not just a matter of chance.  When these ants wanna bite someone, they quietly creep up to the skin .. so quietly that you cannot even feel them coming.  And then suddenly you feel the pinch of being bitten and that's when you jump up Smiley
