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.

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.

No sis, obviously not to the Battle of the Trench because this Surah is a Makkan revelation prior to the Hijra. 

It's considered to be a reference to a historical incident that took place in Yemen much before Islam, concerning the massacre of the Christians of Yemen by a Jewish king called Dhu Nawas.  There was a place in Yemen called Najran (I'm not sure if this name still exists).  In the olden times Yemen was under Jewish rule, at least for sometime.  When this battle took place (which is most likely the reference in verses 4-8), the Christian community of Najran were brutally massacred at the orders of this Jewish king.  When this happened, the Christian ruler of Abyssinia (with the title of "Negus" as the name of the dynasty) intervened to save the Yemeni Christians.  Apparently, he defeated and toppled the Jewish king because the rule of the Negus lasted in Yemen until the year of the War of the Elephant which took place on the year of the Prophet's (S) birth, that is, the 7th century.  As we know, reference of War of the Elephant is in Surah 105 (Al-Fil).  The Abyssinian ruler named Abraha who participated in the War of the Elephant advanced to destroy the Kaaba but Allah Almighty made him unsuccessful by protecting the Kaaba as mentioned in Surah Al-Fil.

Some interpreters are of the opinion that the words "owners of the ditch Of the fuel-fed fire," refers to Hellfire.  But we cannot be sure about that.  It's possible that a trench was dug in this battle too as a battlefield stratey.  But only Allah knows best.  We have no resource to confirm the details of the battle.
