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.

This is a story, not a real occurrence, but it conveys a very important message that must be remembered by everyone in their real lives.


Once upon a time there was a king.   His little kingdom was struck with famine.  Food got scarce and people were living on bread and black coffee for days.  The king was working hard with his helpers and advisers to change this tragic situation.  After a few months, the situation began to improve.  A little later, it got better and the king felt he finally got back his peace of mind.  After months of sadness and preoccupation much to the distress of his viziers, the king now looked cheerful and content.

One day a fortune teller came to the king's court to congratulate him for steering the drought stricken country out of danger.  The king thanked the fortune teller and asked him how long he (the king) would live.  The fortune teller closed his eyes and pretended to think hard for a few minutes.  He then opened his eyes and told the king, "I'm sorry, the news isn't good.  You will live for only one more year."  The king again went into a state of depression.

That evening one of the king's very loyal viziers asked him why he looked so sorrowful.  The king mentioned what the fortune teller had said to him.  The vizier told the king not to worry and told the courtiers to call the same fortune teller the next day.  When he arrived, the vizier brought him before the king and asked him how he knew the king would live for only one more year?  The fortune teller replied he saw the king's funeral in his crystal ball and spoke some nonsense about the stars.  Then the vizier asked the fortune teller how long he (the fortune teller) himself would live.  He took a deep breath and said "I am a young man of 25.  I have quite a long life ahead of me."  He then again closed his eyes pretending to be in a trance.  He opened his eyes after a while and said  "I will live for another 50 years and die when I am 75."  On hearing that, the vizier took out his sword and killed the fortune teller.  He then looked at the king and said to him, "this man confidently said he would live for 50 years and he died barely 5 seconds later.  Would you continue to be grief-stricken over his lies?"

Lesson of the story:  NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW THE FUTURE EXCEPT ALLAH, THE ALMIGHTY.   Even none of the Prophets knew the future, let alone the common persons.  Only The Almighty knows every bit of the future, the present and the past. 

Never believe the bluff of any crystal ball readers, palmists, fortune tellers, tarrot card readers etc.  They are all shameless frauds and quacks who only want to grab the money of the people they fool.

Ha ha!  Good one.  When the vizier asked the fraud how long he's gonna live, he should have understood he's caught.

@Brother TS, no, Nassrid era, Muslims in Spain (An-Andalus).  It's from our Pinterest board of Islamic golden era, as I see it.
