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.

 BismEm


"If you obeyed most of those on earth they would mislead you far from Allah's way.   They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess."  (6:116) Al-An'am.


While majority is a show of strength because of its large numbers, it's not necessarily a show of correctness.  In fact, it often isn't. 

In Verse 6:116 Allah Almighty mentions the risk of getting misguided by obeying the majority.  This alludes to the aspect of euphoria or the characteristic of frenzy that people often get whipped up into .. a process of blindly following their desires rather than choosing what's proper through rational thoughts.  E.g.  A particular style of dress that makes a person look half naked may become exceedingly popular in a society.  Or, lewd social practices may lure plenty of people and they would try to talk their way into it by justifying it.  In most cases, such misguided aspects of life turn very popular within the majority.  Around the world there will be many more who will be attracted to such ideas compared to those who will reject them.   It's in this regard that Allah warns believers that blind following of the majority concerning various practices of life can take them far away from the path of Allah and thus we need to be very, very careful.  Of course, as we see, with the load of bid'ah (interpolations) introduced in Faith, blind following of our jurists can also take us far away from the path of Allah.  This facet must also be included.

Alhumdulilah. 

I would think this is also true about politics.  I mean, so many bad leaders and governments come to power and ruin their countries and the lives of the people.  Most such governments come to power by "popular" votes of the people.  The problem with people is they make heroes out of those who are not at all worth it.  A horde of people are often so enamored by these unworthy 'icons' that if some such leader is immoral, their sheepl followers will either ignore or condone their immorality .. and at some point won't hesitate to acquire similar immoralities themselves.

That is a very thoughtful observation brother.  I concur absolutely.   Similar mindset is also prevalent in the entertainment world, often known as the celebrity world in this mad earth in present times.

Alhumdulilah, Alhumdulilah.  Allah, The All-Knower, picks the points that are so accurate and spot-on concerning humans. 

And you know what?  nowadays even westerners are aware of the truth of this aspect.  There's a sarcastic poster circulating in social media such as Pinterest and instagram that says "Be careful when you follow the masses.  Sometimes the "m" is silent."  lol.  It's a head-on recognition of the fact that the majority are misleaders. 

May Allah, The Greatest, always keep us in the protection of His guidance. Ameen ya Allah.   

A life without His guidance is the ultimate tragic failure.

Interesting quote.  You're right Sister Ruhi.  It's an acknowledgement, and a warning to beware of the majority.
