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.

One of Life's Tiny Dramas Captured Forever on Film
 

The bird calls out after realising that his (her?) mate is dead
 
There are many inexplicable and tragic events in nature, yet few are captured on film. Here is an interesting series of photographs depicting a pair of swallows, Hirundo rustica (known as the Barn Swallow in the United States). In this series of images, we watch the story that unfolds after one of the birds was fatally injured, yet the bird's mate remains nearby, delivering food or water and keeping its dying companion company.
 
These photographs were captured by a French photographer picnicking by the road and appeared in the French press

 
In this image, we see the healthy bird as it "mantles" (covers with its wings) its injured, but still living, companion

 
 
The healthy bird brings food (water?) to its injured companion, caring for it as if the dying bird was one of its chicks

 
 
Despite the healthy bird's attentions, its injured companion dies. The healthy bird apparently attempts to rouse its dead companion

 
 
Another look at the obviously distressed bird as it tries to revive its dead and unresponsive companion

 
 
The companion appears stunned, crying out in grief

 
 
Still by the side of his / her companion even after knowing that it's gone forever

Please know - animals and birds have sentiments and emotions just as deep as tender human beings, and a lot more than the callous humans among us.

O my dearest Allah!  this is so sweet and yet so so sad ..

I like the way it's been presented with photos, a true little story.  I don't know how some people can have doubts that animals and birds have lesser emotions than humans.  That's the typical human arrogance who think only they are capable of higher feelings.  Like Allah says in the Quran about such pride in humans, that they know nothing but they only guess. 

Animals and birds have tons and tons of love and affection in their hearts for each other and also for those humans who take care of them.  They recognize every reality.   Thus Allah mentions in the Quran that "there's not an animal in the earth nor a flying creature flying on two wings but they are peoples like unto you." 

Praise be to Allah.
