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 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.

Taking up the historical side of Quranic information, can anyone please inform me when Pharoah gave orders to kill all boys and spare the girls?  I know for sure that this tyrannical order came from the despotic rule of the Pharoah, but I'm a little unclear on how it came about. 

Shukriya folks ....

May Allah Almighty grant us greater knowledge of His Final Message, and make our mutual discussions on this Great Book helpful for us.  Ameen.

Salaam br. TS.  Ramadan Kareem.  I hope you and your family are well and your fasting schedule is going fine. 

Pharoah gave this order after Prophet Moses (pbuh) showed him the token of Allah, when Moses threw down his staff which swallowed up the magical and deceitful show  of the wizards.  The wizards themselves were completely stunned by this portent and they immediately believed in Allah by falling down prostrate.  This angered and alarmed Pharoah and his henchmen.  They felt threatened by Moses and they feared losing their power & popularity.  Thus, to eliminate the chances of any future uprising against Pharoah's rule by the people who may support Prophet Moses (pbuh), Pharoah's order according to his tyrannical plan was to kill the sons of all households and spare their daughters.  Also, women from middle-class households were often taken away and made concubines of the rich & powerful.  The Quranic Verse mentioning this tyrannical order of Pharoah is in Surah Al-Araf, Verse 127 and also in Surah Al-Momin 40:25.

"The chiefs of Pharaoh's people said: (O King), wilt thou suffer Moses and his people to make mischief in the land, and flout thee and thy gods ? He said: We will slay their sons and spare their women, for lo! we are in power over them."  7:127

"And when he brought them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and spare their women. But the plot of disbelievers is in naught but error."  40:25

For a better understanding, please read those verses of Surah Al-Araf (Chapter 7), preceding Verse 127, starting from Verse 104.

Also check Surah Momin, 40:23-30.

Quoting the English Quran tafsir site as follows:

Quote
There were two periods of persecution. The first was during the reign of Rameses 11 and took place before Moses' birth, whereas the second period of persecution started after Moses' assumption to the office of prophethood. Common to both periods is the killing of the male issue of Israelites while the female was spared. It was a calculated design to rob the Israelites of their identity and to bring about their forcible assimilation. An inscription discovered during the archaeological excavations of 1896 probably belongs to this period. According to this inscription, Pharaoh Minpetah rounds off the narration of his achievements and victories in these words: 'The Israel have been exterminated, and no seed of them is left.'
