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


"Bethink thee of the leaders of the Children of Israel after Moses, how they said unto a prophet whom they had: Set up for us a king and we will fight in Allah's way. He said: Would ye then refrain from fighting if fighting were prescribed for you ? They said: Why should we not fight in Allah's way when we have been driven from our dwellings with our children ? Yet, when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, all save a few of them. Allah is aware of evil-doers."  (2:246)  Surah Al-Baqrah.

Readers sometimes get confused by the event mentioned in the above Verse as they are sometimes unable to make the correct historical connections.  So let's take a close look to understand it.

If you read the preceding verses of Verse 2:246, you will observe that Muslims are urged to struggle and make every possible sacrifice including financial sacrifices for the cause of Allah.  Moreover, they have been warned to avoid those similar corruption which eventually led the Children of Israel into decline and degradation, by quoting their example.  To help us to understand this discourse it should be borne in mind that it was revealed during a period when the Muslims had been driven out of Makkah and had lived in Madinah for some time.  It was a time when the Muslims of Medinah were subjected to a lot of harassment by the disbelievers around them.  But when the need arose to fight, some of them showed reluctance and unwillingness.  Reference Verse 2:216,  "Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not." 

As elucidated in Verse 2:246, the  attention of the Muslims is drawn to two incidents in the history of the Israelites from which the may learn their lesson.  After Moses another Prophet came to the Israelites (the Quran does not mention the name of that Prophet) the people told that Prophet to select for them a king and then they would fight their enemies.  Yet, when the time came and they were commanded to fight, they showed unwillingness.  The fighting mentioned here is most likely a reference to the in-fighting of the different Israeli tribes after they came to the land of the Philistines (that is, present-day Palestine).  Different Israeli tribes had set up their own kingdom in different parts of Philistine with a lot of rivalry between them - the tribes of Israel and Judah being the two major ones.  It's possible that the reference is to one of the tribes being aggressive and tyrannical toward the other.
