Israeli terrorism – nobody to condemn?
183 years ago
We have witnessed terrorism at its barbaric best in Gaza since yesterday. Israeli terrorism has not even be condemned by the so-called ‘United Nations’ organization, which has proved once again that it is only functioning as an anti-Muslim body.
Israeli F-16 bombers have unleashed their full fury at innocent Palestinians and over 280 civilians have been reported dead (read: martyred). We now hear that after the aerial death and destruction, Israel has prepared its land forces to move into Gaza.
The number of civilian casualties is at least two times the number of casualties that occurred in the Mumbai carnage, yet there is no public outcry. How long will we ignore this hypocrisy of the international community?
Hamas, has vowed to retaliate, saying Israel had violated an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire intended to stem violence in the region.
“We will stand up, we will defend our own people, we will defend our land and we will not give up,” senior spokesman Osama Hamdan said.
The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Zalmay Khalilzad, blatantly supported Israel’s contention that it was up to Hamas to stop the violence. Such is the absurdity of the international community that helpless civilians are being crushed for NO REASON!
“Israel has the right to self defense and nothing in this press statement should be read as anything but that,” Khalilzad said.
I, on my part, condemn aggression of the Zionist forces and support of the United States of America in the strongest possible terms. May God damn these Zionist forces to hell.
Out of love for Muhammad (S.A.W)
123 years ago
I am quoting this from a book I don’t want to name till I have gone through it. This is out of sheer love for the Prophet of Islam, a Prophet who refurbished Islam ( the age-old faith since Adam (A.S) ) and gave it a new, more expansive horizon and inclusive meaning.
Muhammad is a huge liberating force. Muhammad is universal. Muhammad is peace and mercy. Muhammad is enlightenment and empathy. Muhammad is enhancement of human values. Muhammad is discovering one’s humanity and the purpose of life. Muhammad is the revealed truth. Muhammad is sacred and transcendent.
All that is beautiful and delectable, is Muhammad (S.A.W.)
May Allah give the Muslim ummah the opportunity to truly understand Muhammad, for in this understanding lies success in both worlds, and put an end to oppression and suffering.

With the resignation of President Musharraf who had gained himself a notorious image in Washington for his tough stance on the Pakistani Nuclear program and the functioning of the ISI, Pakistan has effectively been left leaderless. There is political vacuum in the air and the nation anxiously waits for what comes next.
Let us analyze why it happened all so quickly and what the nation should brace itself for. (more…)
Hey, [Dr?] Israr Ahmed, read this!
14On the 6th of July, 2000, British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s son was arrested for drinking when he was found drunk and incapable near Leicester Square, London.
When asked about it, Tony Blair remarked:
“Being a prime minister can be a tough job and being a parent is probably tougher!”
It is apparent from the above statement that PM Tony Blair took the blame upon himself for not being a good father and not paying enough attention to his son’s upbringing.
*****
Now, if we look at Hazrat Ali (A.S.), he was raised by none other than the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) himself. If he fell into the habit of drinking, fingers are to be pointed at the Prophet (nauzobillah) for not being a good parent. (more…)
Martyrdom of Bibi Fatimah (S.A) – Guest Post
12The 3rd of Jamadi-us-Sani marks the day of the martyrdom of Bibi Fatimah(S.A.), daughter of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.), at the age of eighteen, just three months after her father’s martyrdom.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 819, Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once Fatimah came walking and her gait resembled the gait of the Prophet . The Prophet said, “Welcome, O my daughter!” Then he made her sit on his right or on his left side, and then he told her a secret and she started weeping. I asked her, “Why are you weeping?” He again told her a secret and she started laughing. I said, “I never saw happiness so near to sadness as I saw today.” I asked her what the Prophet had told her. She said, “I would never disclose the secret of Allah’s Apostle .” When the Prophet died, I asked her about it. She replied. “The Prophet said.) ‘Every year Gabriel used to revise the Qur’an with me once only, but this year he has done so twice. I think this portends my death, and you will be the first of my family to follow me.’ So I started weeping. Then he said. ‘Don’t you like to be the Lady of all the ladies of Paradise or the Lady of all the lady believers? So I laughed for that.”
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 820, Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet in his fatal illness, called his daughter Fatimah and told her a secret because of which she started weeping. Then he called her and told her another secret, and she started laughing. When I asked her about that, she replied, The Prophet told me that he would die in his fatal illness, and so I wept, but then he secretly told me that from amongst his family, I would be the first to join him, and so I laughed.”
Some of the titles given to her by her father are: Sayyeda-tun-Nisa-il-Alameen (Lady of all the women of the worlds), Khatoon-e-Jannat (Lady of Paradise), Um-me-Abeeha (Mother of her Father). (more…)
