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.

Fantastic topic.  Very well explained sister Zeynab.  There are many people even among so-called Muslims who think Maghfirah (Salvation) in the Hereafter can be acquired with good deeds even if the person is an atheist, agnostic or polytheist.  There are 2 reasons why they think this way.

First, most of them have either not read the Noble Quran at all or have read it without understanding it or have read the incorrect translations. 

Secondly, those who talk as such have a tendency of overlooking the aspect of fairness and justice, either because of their shallow perception or because of personal reasons.    Thus, they also forget that Divine Justice is perfect. 

Your analogy, sister Zeynab, was really good.  I would request such people to make another simple comparison for a better understanding. 

E.g.  'X' believes in Allah and is also of good conduct, keeping in mind the dictates of Allah and utilizing the Quran as a Guide to enhance his conscience.   Another person, 'Y,' does not believe in Allah, has never read the Quran and is either secular/atheist/agnostic or a polytheist but he has some righteous deeds in his record such as being charitable, showing kindness to others and likes being fair.   But 'Y' indulges in these good deed by claiming that he uses his conscience to guide himself and that his conscience is independent of Allah. 

Now compare 'X' and 'Y.'  From the viewpoint of Allah Almighty, who do you think is more humble and far-sighted?  The answer is surely 'X' whose approach is much more rational, far-sighted and extensive.  'X' is doing righteous deeds and a lot more.  He has complete belief and faith in Allah, the One and Only.   'Y' on the other hand, is only doing his worldly duty and nothing beyond that.  Therefore, Allah might grant 'Y' the fruits of his earthly efforts in this world.  But after 'Y' leaves this world for the next, his 'party' is over.  He will have nothing to look forward in the next world, unlike 'X' who has reasons to be hopeful in both the worlds.
