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.

Thanks Sr. Zainab for your input.

The following points I have added to my article (not found in the above article). More supporting evidence:

God’s decree is once again referred to as “God’s words”:

“Those who lagged behind will say, when you venture out to collect the spoils: "Let us follow you!" They want to change God's decrees (literally “words of God”, kalaamallah). Say: "You will not follow us; this is what God has decreed beforehand." They will then Say: "No, you are envious of us." Alas, they rarely understood anything.” [Qur’an 48:15]

This Verse refers to a group of believers who did not choose to fight for justice when the need came, however they were eager to join in the gathering the spoils of war so that they may take some for themselves. This however is violating Verse 59:7 which states that believers shall only take of the spoils of war, that which the messenger gives to them, and withhold from that which the messengers forbids them from. They cannot simply go out and take what they wish. Moreover, having not fought in the way of God but seeking the material things of this life is against the morals of God consciousness. By using our reason and logic alone one can conclude that this would be displeasing to God, thus against God’s natural ordainment or decrees (Verse 59:8 which enlightens us further on who deserves the booty). Also in this Verse, further supporting that decrees of God is what is referred to by “words of God” is supported by what is stated immediately following the expression: Say: "You will not follow us; this is what God has decreed beforehand." So we see how the expression ‘words of God’ have been used in the Qur’an to refer to the ‘decrees of God’.

Another Verse of the Qur’an proves how ‘God’s words’ are often used to mean decrees, verdicts or promises:

“And when our decree (literally: ‘qawl’ = word, saying, speech) is passed against them, We shall bring out a creature from the Earth which will tell them people had no faith in Our Revelations” [Qur’an 27:82]

In above Verse, the fulfilment of a word of God is referring to fulfilment of a decree of God."
