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.

 salamem

hmm, yeah  that's  correct ,  people of  Araaf  are those,whose good and bad deeds are equal their evil deeds prevented them from qualifying to enter Paradise, and their good deeds qualified them to avoid the Fire.

@ sis am adding bit more what i have learned,  please correct me if am wrong !!

Reference verse !

And stop them, for they must be questioned. 37:24

There are (yet) others, held in suspense for the command of Allah, whether He will punish them, or turn in mercy to them: and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.9:106


The Araaf, or the heights  also refers to obscure area which lies in between Jannah and jahanum where whose good deeds equal their evil deeds are held in a limbo , place Or wall  (V,  57:13) ,  who would be seeing the happenings in Paradise and Hell both and will be talking to people on both sides and their decision would be in pending V 9:106 by Allah on where they would go, to jannah  or to jahanum  , as verse  7:46 says!!  these have not yet entered the Garden though they are hopeful of entering it,  so they will be stopped there on the wall or area, or path until Allah judges them  ,that's why these people are called people of Araaf / those who are tied in good and bad deeds, and waiting for a Allah's decision and hoping for Allah's mercy to tip the scale.they say: Our Lord! Place us not with the wrong-doing folk 7:47

As Quran tells us in many places that on the day of resurrection Allah will judge good and bad deeds , and it is explained in  verses like 9:106 , and 107  when ALLAH balances good and evil deeds in the scale /Mizan and distinguishes companions of paradise from companions of Hell, He will make those wait for quite some time whose good and evil deeds are equal,

just For understanding !
 
why i said they(imams) will be among the people of Araaf , we can see in worldly eyes, people do thing that imams , ulemas and all such munafiq leaders  are sin free, ministers of jannah  and they too considered themselves an angel but none know who u are in the sight of Allah , He Al mighty Alone have authority to judge each soul ,the final decision maker is ultimately Allah .


And say (unto them): Act! Allah will behold your actions, and (so will) His messenger and the believers, and ye will be brought back to the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.9:105

And (there are) others who await Allah's decree, whether He will punish them or will forgive them. Allah is Knower, Wise. 9:106

And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will surely swear: We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.9:107



And those whose scales are heavy ( with good deeds) it is they who are the successful. But those whose scales are light – those are the ones who have lost their souls, (being) in Hell, abiding . The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein.. 23:102-104


that's what i have learned  Rest of the correct and final truth belongs to Allah alone


My Question  is regarding 57:13 i mentioned above ,is this same, barrier, Or  wall or place a sort of limbo mention in surah  al Araaf,?


explain it little more please ??  Inside it will be mercy, and outside it will be torment., 57:13 

doest it mean !! You're safe inside this place as long as the decision does not made , outside Punishment /hell ?,


a wall will be put up between them, with a gate therein. Inside it will be mercy, and outside it will be torment.. 57:13


feedback please  Smiley

Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.9:111
