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.

Reflections on the Noble Quran

O youwho believe! Enter not houses other than your own without first announcing your presence and invoking peace upon the folk thereof. That is better for you, that you may be heedful. (24:27) An-Nur

And if ye find no-one therein, still enter not until permission has been given. And if it be said unto you: Go back, then go back; for it is purer for you. Allah knows what you do.  (24:28)  An-Nur


Verses 27 and 28 of Surah An-Nur are about good manners and courteous behaviour.  I would like to discuss Verse 24:28 in detail.  This verse clearly conveys the message that before entering the houses of others, visitors must first verify from their hosts if they've arrived at a convenient time, otherwise they should leave.  If the host says that they can't meet their guest (or guests), or says that it's not a convenient time for them to receive guests, the visitors must understand and go away without being offended. 

This aspect of courtesy came in the Noble Quran at a time when there were no telephones, cell phones or emails.  Even the concept of doorbells didn't exist in societies anywhere in the world.  Yet, the Noble Quran gives this prerogative to the host, having the right to tell their guests as such , if they aren't ready to receive them for whatever reasons. 

Many Muslim communities around the globe need to learn from Verse 24:28.  Many of them find it very acceptable for guests to drop by at all odd hours without even so much as calling their host before visiting.  And if they do call and the host apologizes for not being available, most traditional minded guests find it offensive. 

I hope our sisters and brothers everywhere, remember Verse 24:28 of Surah An-Nur and take it as a clear dictate directly from Allah Almighty that hosts too have a right over their guests .. just as it is the other way round.   In many traditional societies only the guests are given the privilege to plan according to their convenience while the convenience of the hosts is seldom taken into consideration.  Verse 24:28 nullifies such an idea.

Very nice piece sister cat.  This should really be emailed to all households in countries like Pakistan etc.   These folks have this strange habit of popping in unannounced at all odd hours.  They may mean well, but it's just so inconvenient.  Also, there are some who want others to call before dropping by but themselves never bother to do the same while visiting others and find nothing wrong making a nuisance of themselves arriving unannounced.

Very useful and honest instruction directly from Allah Almighty.   All praise be to You, ya Rab.

Thank you for explaining it so well, Sis Heba.
