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.

Wa'salam brother.  Sadaqa is simply the Arabic equivalent for the word alms or charity.  Zakat or zakah is also an Arabic/Persian/Urdu term and it's equivalent in English is almsgiving.

Though as per the Quran, alms or charity is a simple matter .. I think we have already mentioned to you briefly that it has been made very complicated by traditonalist Muslims at present.  If you search the websites for info on charity (and almost all such ones are handled by traditionalists probably because it's a matter of money), you will find an array of different terms and conditions for dozens of different kinds of charity with different titles at different times and varying amounts regardless of one's financial situation.  It will simply send your head spinning like a top. Every bit of zakah/sadiqa rules come from the man-written Shariah, an institutional framework that contains not more than 4% of it's contents from the Quran.  The rest of 96% is extra Quranic, bulk of it taken from hadith, fatwas and decisions of jurists. The excuse for their complicated rules on charity is their common and rude claim that the Quran doesn't give any details.  Contrary to all of that, the Quran makes it simple & clear to give as alms (call it zakat, sadaqa or whatever one prefers) of what is "superfluous."  One must try to pay once every year from their total income or assets .. whichever they decide .. and whatever they can comfortably afford from their "superfluous" money saved from their income.  No amounts fixed in the Quran.  Allah has left that upon each one of us to decide in accordance with our financial status.  Other than that, if one feels one is in a position to afford more, then that's fine. You can read the Quran on charity carefully and you'll find that this is precisely the stance that fits into the Quranic ideology of almsgiving most closely.   

Our post on Zakat which you've read is one of the very few that goes precisely by the Quran on the matter of charity or alms. I recall, recently I also posted for you a pointwise summary on it. You can yourself confirm it's conformity with the Quran.  To avoid confusion, try to stick by it.  If you search the mainstream sources or concentrate too much on detailed lectures on "sadaqa,"  utter confusion will be unavoidable. That happens with everyone.  Even most mainstream Muslims (personally and quietly) ignore the intricate rules of our mr./miss know-all kinda jurists.
