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.

Traditional Version

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
building its house and laying up supplies for the
winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and
laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
 
Come winter,the Ant is warm and well fed. The
Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in
the cold.


Modern Version

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer
building its house and laying up supplies for the
winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and
laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
 
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a
press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold
and starving.

BBC, Fox News, CNN etc. show up to provide pictures of
the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can
this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to
suffer so?

Human rights lawyers / activists stage a demonstration in front of the
Ant's house.

Self seeking politicians protest along with other
Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated
to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International criticizes the Government / governments for not upholding
the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking
support for Grasshoppers .

Opposition MPs stage a walkout.

Finally, the Government drafts an ordinance ' - Anti
State Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [ASTAGA],
with effect from the beginning of the winter.
Mobilizes state agencies.

This is applauded by cries of 'Triumph of justice,' ' democratic justice,' and 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden.'

Prime Minister  invites the Grasshopper
to address the Parliament.
