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 Alaikum folks!  Hope fasting is going well for all, InshAllah. 

We know that hours of fasting in summer are long.  But it wouldn't be that hard at all if it wasn't for our jurists who love to make matters much harder. 

Speaking on sahoor timings, June 8th 2016, our third fast in the month of Ramadan 2016.  Fajr marked on prayer calendar is 3.45 a.m.  Sunrise is at 5.36 a.m.  According to these timings, the gap between Fajr (dawn) and sunrise is 1 hour and 50 minutes approximately. 

I peeped out of the window at about 4.40 a.m. (or maybe 4.45 a.m.) it was still quite dark with just a slight glimmer in the atmosphere.  This is apparently the period the Noble Quran refers to as ".. and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn." (2:187). We can eat sahoor up to this time.  But officially our jurists have decided Fajr to be at 3.45 a.m. and most of them insist that we must finish sahoor at least 20 minutes prior to 3.45 a.m.  You can thus imagine how much they make us rush for nothing, and most importantly, in violation of the information in the Noble Quran.  According to Verse 2:187, it's very explicit that we can easily eat sahoor until 4.40 earliest.  Instead, we are forced to finish sahoor around 3.30 a.m. 

Around 5.00 a.m. when I again looked out of the window, it was a little brighter with a slight orange glow across the horizon.  But still dark and absolutely no sign of a single ray of sunlight.  Our "ulemas" will say it's too late for Fajr.  But this is actually an extension of dawn starting from 4.45 or 4.40 a.m.  Fajr ends and morning starts only after the first rays of sunlight begin to appear. 

Thus, the idiosyncrasy of our jurists derived from forged traditions compel us to begin our fast at least 1 hour and 15 minutes before the actual prescribed time mentioned in the Noble Quran.
