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.

BismEm


"Say: Cry unto those (saints and angels) whom ye assume (to be gods) beside Him, yet they have no power to rid you of misfortune nor to change.

Those unto whom they cry seek the way of approach to their Rab, which of them shall be the nearest; they hope for His mercy and they fear His doom. Indeed! the doom of your Rab is to be shunned."  17:56-57 (Surah Bani Israel)


The above verses are a condemnation of the inherent habit of many humans to devote themselves and trust their revered human icons to the extent that they forget Allah, and deny Him the love & devotion that's His due only.  This practice is not just true about the Christians with regard to their saints, priests, bishops and popes.  But majority of Muslims also follow the same ideology with regard to their imams, sheikhs and ulemas.  Their iconic imams  include the present day ones as well as medieval imams.  For example, Bukhari's ahadith writings, regardless of its high degree of nonsense is called "sahih" (meaning 'correct' or 'true') by mainstream Muslims who don't even hesitate to misinterpret the Quran for the purpose of making it compatible with those ahadith which actually violate the Quran.  Similarly, many fatwas, rulings and views of the imams of various sects, groups and masjids are incorporated in mainstream Muslim ideologies despite their clear violation of Quranic values and dictates.  The one major reason for this is human devotion towards other humans being far greater than their devotion towards Allah Almighty.  The above verses are a clear condemnation and rejection of such an attitude.  Such people must realise that their icons and heroes themselves possess limited means, and as humans, they too are just as dependent upon the Mercy and Bounty of Allah Almighty as anyone else.

And here's another verse that rejects this notion.

"Do the disbelievers reckon that they can choose My bondmen as protecting friends beside Me ? Lo! We have prepared hell as a welcome for the disbelievers."  (18:102)  Surah Al-Kahf
