November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
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.

MAINTAINING  A  DISTANCE  OF  5  PACES  BEHIND

Barbara Walters of 20/20  (USA-ABC Television) did a story on gender roles in  Kabul,  Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.  She noted  that women customarily walked 5 paces behind  their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and  observed that women still walk behind their husbands. From Ms. Walter's point, despite  the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban  regime, the women now seem  to walk
even further back behind  their husbands and are happy  to maintain the old custom.

Ms. Walters  approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy  with the old custom that you once tried so desperately  to change?"

The woman looked at  Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land   mines."


Yeah true, behind every man is a smart woman!

As Salaamu Aleikum,

Oh....that was funny!  RollLaugh

Is that really a true story?

You know, I've heard that Native Americans used to have a similar tradition, and 'good women', back in the old days, (as in, such women were considered virtuous and moral) were often referred to as 'stand-behind-me women', quite literally. (I know this, because I'm part Cherokee, and have heard this 'Indian lore' from family members) I don't know if '5 paces' was specified, but they were expected to always stand behind their men, to some degree. What a blow to all the 'feminists' out there, if it turns out it was all really just about 'protecting' the women, rather than 'oppressing' them? Actually makes quite a bit of sense, now that I think about it that way...

 teethsmile teethsmile .. yes i think it is a true incident.  i mean, women walking behind their husbands is not a culture in practice any more, not really.  however, usually when a family goes out .. husband, wife and 3, 4 or 5 kids, the wife is often seen tagging along with the kids and not able to catch up with the husband .. LOL.  i guess it's just a scenario, not a culture.  but in the yester years, about 4 or 5 decades ago, such social traditions did exist in rural afghanistan. 

Walaikum Salaam
