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.

BismEm


"We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe." (28:3) Al-Qasas

"Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption." (28:4) Al-Qasas



The term "Israel" in the Noble Quraan does not refer to a land or country, but it refers to a tribe - the Israelite tribe consisting of the Hebrews who lived in Egypt and were enslaved by the Pharoahs of Egypt. 

When the Almighty Allah chose Moses (pbuh) as a prophet and a messenger, He commanded Moses to go to Pharoah with His Message, telling him to end his oppression and allow the Israelite tribe go free.  The reference is to allow Prophet Moses to take the Israelis to some other place where they could live without any fear of oppression.  As we know, Prophet Moses was also of the Hebrews. This other place to which Moses led his people was called the land of the Philistine (today known as Palestine).  However, the name of this land is not mentioned in the Quraan.  But it is very well confirmed as per the findings of history. 

Thus, Prophet Moses (pbuh) was commanded by the Almighty Allah to take his people away from Egypt to some other land where they could lead their lives in tranquility and wouldn't be harassed or enslaved.  But Allah did not tell Moses nor any other member of the Israelite tribe to invade that other land nor to turn out its indigenous people who were already living there. 

Therefore, the claim of the present Jewish state that "they didn't take away Palestine by force but God gave it to them" does not contain the kind of truth they imply.  Yes .. God did give it to them, in that, God permitted them to come and live there in harmony, peace and compassion with the indigenous people of that land.  But God did not permit them to throw out these people from their homes and establish themselves as victors and usurpers, inflicting similar tyranny on others as was previously inflicted upon them by Pharoah.  Can two wrongs ever make a right?

Yes this is so true.  The term "israel" in the Quran is a tribe and not a land.  I'm sure it carries the same meaning in the Old and New Testaments. 

The concept of naming that big chunk of the Holy Land as "Israel" is only a part of an ideology created much later, in modern times, having its own motives and hidden agenda.

I just put a very informative article on the modern history of Israel here.  Check for reference.

Thanks for this nice piece sis ..

Salaam Alaikum
