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.

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 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.

By the way, after putting this post, I sent a question to Br. Shabir Ally of the Islamic Information Center asking him if Verses 2:243 and 2:259 refer to the vision of prophet Hizqeel (Ezekiel), and if so, to quote some references.

I quote his brief response as follows:

"The English translation of the summarized Tafsir Ibn Kathir vol. 1, pp. 680-683 says that 2:243 involves Ezekiel. But the same source connects 2:259 not with Ezekiel but with Uzair (vol. 2, pp.38-41. In any case this is the sort of story that scholars classify as Israiliyyat and hold to be unreliable."

Uzair is the same as Ezra in Hebrew.  As Pickthall has mentioned in one of his brief commentaries that some 'ulemas' do take verse 2:259 as referring to Ezekiel (though the Quraan hasn't given any reason to think that), Br. Shabir is right in saying that Ibn Kathir refers verse 2:259 to Ezra, though again, the Quraan does not give any reason to think that.  Ezra was quite certainly not a prophet.  The Quraan mentions about him very briefly only in Verse 9:30

And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they! 9:30  At-Taubah

Ezra was said to be a Jewish spiritual leader.  According to Jewish history, he was probably a descendent of Prophet Moses' brother, Aaron (Haroon).  Allah knows best. 

Ibn Kathir's story on Ezra is again very far-fetched with no connections with the Quraan.  At the moment, I cannot find the Biblical version of Ibn Kathir's writing on Ezra (Uzair) but I'm sure his source is somewhere within the manipulated Jewish and Biblical history.

To read Ibn Kathir's fabricated story on Uzair (Ezra), visit the following link at Islam Awareness.  It's interesting to note that Br. Shabir Ally admitted that these stories are "unreliable."  However, he tried to sound a little diplomatic to appease the "scholars" which frankly didn't make much sense. He said in his response that "this is the sort of story that scholars classify as Israiliyyat and hold to be unreliable."  But according to Hadith traditionalists, Ibn Kathir is supposed to be "one of the great scholars" and he is the one who is writing these fabrications.
