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


I read this very tragic true story in The Toronto Star a couple of years ago.  It was so profound that I cut the story and kept it in my file.  Today I would like to share it with everyone here.  If there are any animal lovers like me, they'll love this.

Tragedy separated two loving companions when a World War II vet was killed by a train close to his home.  His pet dog refused to leave him after the accident.  The story goes as follows:

Quote -
Right uptil the end, Les Mitchell and his little dog Rascal were inseparable pals. 

Even after the 79 year old Mississauga man was struck and killed by a train .. the tiny Lhasa Apso refused to leave his master's side, barking and nipping at emergency workers who arrived to help.

"It was enough to break your heart," said one man who watched the scene. 

Relatives think Rascal, who Mitchell often let run free of his long red leash may have darted onto the tracks.  They believe the Royal Air Force veteran, who would have turned 80 next month, may have reacted instantly and run into the path of the Toronto-bound VIA Rail train ...

He was a familiar sight to residents and shopkeepers as he walked Rascal at least 3 times each day. 

Dressed in a beige overcoat and tan driving cap - Rascal wore a mini-overcoat and booties in winter ..

"Les loved his dog, but he had a very bad habit of walking the dog without his lead on," said a relative.

"We think the dog darted across the track and that Les scurried after him.  He almost cleared across the track but he just didn't make it. ...."

"And how he loved that dog," said a neighbour.  "He'd be out there with him rain or shine. ...."

yes, this is heart wrenching.  A bond between an animal and a human is often much stronger than that between humans.  Beautiful post.  This was a particularly touching incident.  Thanks Sister.
