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.

The following in an excerpt detailing the beauty of the Glorious Quraan which I thought would be great to share.  It's taken from Dr. Muzzafar Iqbal's article, Muslims and the Quran. 
 
I decided to post only this excerpt because it's this portion of that article which portrays the independence of the Noble Quraan.



"The Qur’an is a relatively small text. There are approximately 86,430 words in the Qur’an, constituting about 6,214 verses which make up its 114 chapters. The shortest chapter contains only three verses; the longest, 286. Muslims believe the Qur’an is an untranslatable text, revealed at a certain place and time but transcending both geography and history. The descent of the Qur’an from the Well-Guarded Tablet (al-lawh al-mahfuz) was a sacred event that took place in the Sacred Time of Revelation and not in the time of profane history marked by its incessant flow from one moment to the next. The Qur’an is, therefore, only a historical text insofar as its revelation marks the entry of the Sacred into human history—an event that simultaneously culminated the cycle of revelation that was initiated with the first Divine revelation to the first human being, Adam.
 
The Qur’an declares that God Himself chose clear Arabic (arabiyyun mubin) as the language of His final revelation to humanity. Revealed in a language spoken by humans, the Qur’an neither submitted to the conventions of Arabi prosody (nazm) nor to the rhymed prose (saj`) of the pre-Islamic Arab poets, whose poetry had set the standards for eloquence; rather, it came with its own characteristic style, ipso facto imparting to Arabic a quintessential sublimity. It conferred upon things their essential reality according to Divine Knowledge, their objective existence in creation, and their legal value amongst humans. This consecration of the language, together with the astonishing fixedness of the root forms of Arabic, ruled out any corruption of the text of the Qur’an due to the natural changes that take place in languages over time.
 
Thus stabilized, the etymology of every Arabic word can be immediately traced to one of fifteen verbal forms—even when it occurs in its most derivative form—making it possible to connect with the living source of the fundamental meanings of its trilateral (and on rare occasions quadrilateral) consonantal root. Neither poetry nor prose, the Qur’an made full use of the resources of the Arabic language but was not confined to them. Its eloquence, its grandeur, and its sublime beauty made receptive hearts quiver with awe and reverence. On any given page of the Qur’an can be found vivid imagery, powerful oaths, parables and arguments employing both dialectical (jadaliyyah) and syllogistic (burhaniyyah) processes. Its terse prose and rhymed passages, ellipses, parallelisms, and characteristic manner of presenting two propositions of striking contrast—all impose upon the intelligence an overwhelming imperative to discover Truth (al-Haqq), while simultaneously making impossible any rendering into another language."
