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.

Those good ol days when the milkman would deliver fresh milk right at your doorstep, daily.   Until the time my parents were kids they enjoyed these privileges.  Our grandpas and grandmas were so fortunate.    The generation which you kiddos enter is an era when these old professions that helped provide sustainable livelihood to so many poor folks are no more.  

No milk in the fridge?   Dad or mom have to walk or drive to the nearest convenience store to buy it.  Sad eh?   But at least let yourself know that these good ol days did exist once upon a time with much happiness and peace.

Absolutely adorable!   and just so true.   

This period actually existed until two of my eldest siblings were in primary school.  They still recall the 'days of the milkman' when he knocked at the kitchen door late afternoon everyday.  He would soon be given a clean cooking pot in which to pour the milk, and mom or dad would then boil the pure fresh milk to a full boil .... and cool  Smiley   The milkman they remember came on a bicycle.  The ones my parents and grandparents recall brought the milk in a couple of canisters laden on a cute, sleepy little donkey, exactly as in this lovely pic.

Indeed, days worth remembering.

Reminiscing a beautiful past is one of the most soothing forms of recreation by itself.
