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.

 BismEm


Beware of a new FALSE propaganda started by Christian fundamentalists by attacking Surah At-Tawheed (The Unity, also known as Surah Ikhlas or The Purity) - 112th Surah of the Glorious Quran.

The attackers of Islam, which include many hardline Christian missionaries and clerics, have started another mischief to misinterpret the Glorious Quran with a grossly false story constructed by them to make it resemble their own ideas of non-Monotheism which they have personally introduced into their own faith.   It only shows their deep ignorance of the Quran, the profound ignorance of their own minds and their utter lack of knowledge of the Arabic language.

This time, these manipultive spiritual vandals have targetted Surah At-Tawheed (112th Surah) of the most Glorious Quran with their evil by completely misinterpreting the word "Ahad" which appears in Surah At-Tawheed and conveys the meaning of "One and Only" or "One and Unique."  Their false propagation claims its meaning to be 'anyone' or 'one of many.'  They barely even know the Arabic alphabets correctly, yet claim that the term "Wahid" means 'one' and "Ahad" doesn't.

It's the meanest, the most wicked and wilful lie that's being propagated in some websites by certain groups of Christian fundamentalists who are striving to discredit Islam by making it look un-Monotheistic and similar to their altered Christianity.  Their purpose is to pacify their own jealousy and low self-esteem which they have been experiencing by altering and making a mess of Christianity.   Thus, they have devised this dirty trick by attacking the Great and Beautiful Surah Tawheed (The Unity) which is the essence of Monotheism (or Tawheed) throughout the universe, and is the confirmed cornerstone of the ideology of Tawheed.

Since falsehood cannot survive, Allah Almighty has made it very easy for us to expose this lie by the kufaar.  We will analyse the grammar of Surah Tawheed, word by word.

First, the following is the original Surah Tawheed in Arabic, followed by its translation in English.
 
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
(112:1-4)


Say: He is Allah, the One and Unique!
Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.
(112:1-4)


To begin with, it must be known that the Arabic term "Ahad" is strictly singular, and strictly superlative.  Its literal meaning in English would be 'One' and it denotes the ideology of  the highest order, or the highest quality, or the highest degree, surpassing or being superior to everything else.

Thus, the first Verse (112:1) of Surah Tawheed which says:
 
"Qul huwa Allahu ahad"  - the translation to convey the actual meaning of this Verse is: "Say: He is Allah, the One and Unique" or " .. the One and Only."   The explanation of this is:  there is none like Him, or there is no one like Him or there is not anyone like Him.   Therefore, Verse 112:1 automatically brings the meaning of being matchless or peerless or above comparison.  

This assertion is again repeated more extensively in the last Verse (112:4) of this Surah which says:

"Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad" - the exact translation of this Verse is:  "And there is none comparable to Him."   The explanation of this is:  there is none like Him, or there is no one like Him, or there is not anyone like Him.

The following is the word by word grammatical elucidation of Surah At-Tawheed in accordance with the Quranic Arabic Corpus:

قُلْ
qul
Say
 
هُوَ
huwa
"He
 
اللَّهُ
l-lahu
(is) Allah
 
أَحَدٌ
ahadun
One
 
اللَّهُ
al-lahu
Allah
 
الصَّمَدُ
l-samadu
the Eternal, the Absolute.
 
لَمْ
lam
Not
 
يَلِدْ
yalid
He begets

وَلَمْ
walam
and not
 
يُولَدْ
yulad
He is begotten
 
وَلَمْ
walam
And not
 
يَكُنْ
yakun
is
 
لَهُ
lahu
for Him
 
كُفُوًا
kufuwan
equivalent
 
أَحَدٌ
ahadun
any [one]."

If this Surah is read with a bit of attention, one will realize that there is no need to even consult a dictionary to learn the meaning of the term "Ahad," because this term is explicitly defined and explained within this Surah itself.

Please note, the term "Ahad" is even more singular than the word "Wahid."  
"Wahid" simply means 'single.'  Grammatically it can also be written or spoken to refer as single in a particular era or society or country or planet, depending on the context and the construction of the sentence.    But "Ahad" literally means 'First and the Last' with no scope nor any range to change it .. expressing a thing that is, was, and will be unmatched and uncomparable.  

This Arabic term "Ahad" is the most beautiful and glamorous singular expression contained within a single unit of the Arabic language, the true equivalent of which cannot be found in any other language.  It is the most accurate, precise and perfect term to describe the true and One Monotheistic God.

Praise be to Allah, The Almighty, the One and Only.
