November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
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.

SubhanAllah!  Love this post  Smiley   Wonderful piece Sis Zeynab.

Br. TS, how heartening!  Takes me too down the ancestral memory lane  Cheesy  like the smell of freshly baked apple pie reminiscent of the aroma from granny's kitchen  Cheesy Cheesy   And families were big those days.  My mom has tons of stories of her grand aunts and great-grand aunts getting the jalabiya ready for their husbands who would set off on their rounds a couple of hours after Isha or tarawih prayers.  Those volunteers were the honor of their neighborhood, folks of true repute. 

Reading Sister Ruhi's story, I was more than shocked to learn how this dignified and cheerful medieval tradition has been distorted in Pakistan.  I would surmise it's the same all over South Asia.  I think the indifferences originate partly from the non-Muslim local majority and partly from the British rule, all of which have prevented various segments of South Asian Muslims from getting into the depth of this lovely history. Sister Zeynab is right.  Such ones are not Mesaharatiya.  They are people with suspicious designs on the residents of neighborhoods.   If a society has no knowledge of a certain culture, it's better to ignore it than to distort it this way.
