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.

Walaikum Salam brother Abbottonian.  Actually the reason why I wait for 20 or 25 minutes after Maghrib salat is because from what I understand (and many would concur) that the Noble Quran makes it quite clear that night does not start as soon as daylight ends.  It has a transition period called sunset or dhulooki ash-shams.  For this reason, Maghrib prayer in the Quran is neither referred to as daylight prayer nor night prayer.  But it's referred to as the prayer to be offered as soon as the sun goes down which is dhulooki ash-shams or maghrib ash-shams (sunset).  This period is in between day and nightfall.  And from our practical experiences we would know that the atmosphere contains quite a lot of brightness at sunset when we offer our Maghrib salat.  What's absent is the rays of the sun which makes it different from daylight, but sufficient visibility is still there for more than half an hour to distinguish it from nightfall.  And the Quran mentions "nightfall" as the time for breaking the fast. 

Wa Kulū Wa Ashrabū Ĥattá Yatabayyana Lakumu Al-Khayţu Al-'Abyađu Mina Al-Khayţi Al-'Aswadi Mina Al-Fajri  ۖ  Thumma 'Atimmū Aş-Şiyāma 'Ilá Al-Layli    (2:187)

Translation:
"eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall" (2:187)


So, in my opinion, the right procedure would be to wait until at least 20 minutes after Maghrib prayer to open the fast.

I'll also quote Verse 17:78 of Surah Al-Isra which is a clear evidence that night does not begin immediately after the sun goes down.

"Aqimi Aş-Şalāata Lidulūki Ash-Shamsi 'Ilá Ghasaqi Al-Layli Wa Qur'āna Al-Fajri  ۖ  'Inna Qur'āna Al-Fajri Kāna Mash/hūdāan   

Translation:
"Establish worship at the going do'wn of the sun until the dark of night, and (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn is ever witnessed." 


The underlined portion of the above Verse highlights the timing of Maghrib salat.  Maghrib salat to be offered when the sun goes down, that is sunset time, until the atmosphere gets dark.  This means that as soon as the atmosphere gets dark, the time for Maghrib prayer is over.  Hence, obviously, sunset time is not the same as nightfall or leil.  In Verse 17:78 the Arabic term used for sunset is   دلوك الشمس  (dulook al-shams), and the Arabic term for "darkness of night" is  ليل  (leil).  Another expression used in the Quran for sunset or setting of the sun which is مغرب الشمس  (Maghrib al-shams).   This expression has been used in Verse 18:86 of Surah Al-Kahf.   Thus, leil (night) is not the same as dulooki-ash-shams or maghrib ash-shams.  That point seems quite clear and obvious to me.
