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.

As-Salam Alaykum dear all.   My question as stated in the title of this post is in reference to Verse 34:41 where The Almighty describes how the disbelievers will plead on the Day of Judgment, denying the shirk they committed. But too little, too late.


"They will say: Be You Glorified.   You (alone) are our Guardian, not them!  Nay, but they worshipped the jinn;  most of them were believers in them."  


Your feedback would be helpful.    May Allah bless all of you, ameen.

Walaykom As-Salam Sister Ruhi.  Yes, the jinn were worshiped by pagan Arabs in pre-Islamic times along with their pagan deities.  As I would think, in V.34:41, the term "jinn" alludes to the evil or misguided jinn who follow Satan and distract the weak humans.   In those days, fortune tellers, pre-Islamic philosophers, poets etc. viewed jinn as an inspiration and source of power.  They also made statues of jinn.  Height of ignorance and misguidance!   The information given in the Noble Quran clarifies this matter as to who jinn are, that they are created of smokeless fire by The Almighty just the way He created humans with clay. 

Furthermore, according to A. A. Maududi V.34:41 also unveils the wider definition of 'ibadat, quote "ibadat is not mere worship and service, but it also implies carrying out somebody's orders and obeying them unconditionally without question and with a feeling of contentment."  Indeed a very negative trend common in almost all communities around the world and in all spheres of life.  Unfortunately such a mindset is also quite rife among Muslims that includes blind following of jurists even when they proclaim nonsensical fatwas or declarations.  It may in certain cases also include the blind following of despotic governments by both Muslim and non-Muslim communities.  However, there are many situations where people are coerced to serve autocratic leaders out of fear and compulsion, not choice, which in my opinion is a different issue.

Many thanks for the info brother.    This is what I wanted to know.   One needs to pick out ignorance in order to know the importance of staying far away from it.
