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.

The Saudi people never cease to appall me with their classy crap.

Just as the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia is known as Hejaz, the heartland of the Saudi Arabian peninsula is called Nejd.  Here, there are some very conservative and uneducated tribes who never learned about Islam, and of course, the contents of the Quran is like greek to them.  According to tradition, the women of these tribes begin to cover their faces from puberty every minute of their lives till the day they die. It's an old tradition never to remove the face cover.  Even after a tribal woman from Nejd is married, her husband never gets to see her all his life.  Not just that, but she also does not unveil herself before her children.  With such ideas, how in the world they at all produce kids is itself an enigma!

The only time such a woman might agree to unveil herself is if she travels outside the Nejd region and is in the company of women only.  But that rarely happens.

A funny and astonishing story.  Thirty years ago a tribal woman who was married to her husband never showed her face to him even for a minute.  According to her tribal traditions, she was constantly veiled outside and inside her home .. veiled in the company of her husband and children, veiled even while sleeping.  One day after three decades of marriage, the poor husband really became curious about how his wife looked.  While she was alseep, he quietly tried to lift the veil and see the face of his 50-year-old wife for the first time.  But she woke up and raised a ruckus.  Though the husband apologized, she didn't accept his apology, flew into a rage and wanted a divorce.  "After all these years, he tries to commit such a big mistake," she told Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh after leaving the house in disbelief.

This isn't the first story of the Nejd Saudi wives forever shrouded in veils even before their husbands.  It's a lot more common than one might think.

There's another known story of a woman who was married for 10 years and her husband never saw her.  One day when he tried to remove her veil, she yelled and threatened to leave, and the husband had to promise he would never try to see her face again.

A third known story is about a 70-year-old woman who followed the same tradition as her mother and sisters did - never to remove her veil.  Her husband knew about it prior to his marriage and consented to it.  When she was asked how she could have children without her husband ever seeing her face, she replied: "Marriage is about love, not faces."  LOL.

Needless to say, this is NOT an Islamic practice by a long shot.  Only Allah (Subhan Wa'Tala) knows from where these ignorant tribes picked up such comical habits.

Here's the story of these crazy women. The photo there is not of any of these women.  It's taken from some Saudi women's journal.

Laughing my f***** ass off.   What amazes me most is what man would agree to a marriage of this sort? 

This is what happens when Divine Laws are replaced with man-made rules.  The tribal women from areas such as Nejd, Hejaz etc. are the bedouins.  It's about people like these that Allah has mentioned in the Quran to the Prophet that they are more ignorant than the rest and more firmly grounded on disbelief.  They haven't changed to date.

Yes true, funny as well as very sad.  I never knew of this distortion about not removing the veil even before husband and kids.  Just shows how little so many folks know of the Quran, and of course these Arab tribals are about the most uneducated of all to date.  Allah says in the Quran "O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth." (4:171).   This has been told directly to the Christians and Jews for the extent of their deviations from Allah's original Message.  And now the Muslims have also joined in and doing the same what Allah has plainly prohibited in His Final Message.  I seriously object to such ones being called "Muslims."  Enough lies and slanders have been concocted about Islam already.  Such folks should simply be stamped as what they actually are: pre-Islamic heathens.
