Why Do
So Few Speak Up for Gaza?:
Why
are we so indifferent to the death and destruction in Gaza? The
major news outlets meekly accepted Israel’s banning of journalists
from entering Gaza as an excuse for downplaying collateral civilian
casualties, our president-elect, Barack Obama, has had little to say
about an invasion that will much complicate his future Mideast peace
efforts, and most...Read

diary: Are we not human?:
In a bid to stop my children twitching, jerking, trembling and
waking at every sound of an attack during their few hours of sleep
and their many waking hours, I put cotton wool in their ears - it
has not worked.
I wonder what damage is being done to my children's tiny hearts.
Theirs are not as big as mine, they can cope less with the stress
that is being put on them....Read

Prejudice is like poison. Unless purged out of one’s mind in early

This Sermon was delivered on the Ninth
Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H in the Uranah Valley of mount Arafat
"O People, lend me an attentive ear,
for I don't know whether, after this year, I shall ever be amongst
you again. Therefore listen to what I am saying to you carefully and
take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O People, just as you regard this
month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and
property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods
entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no
one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and
that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to
take usury (Interest), therefore all interest obligation shall
henceforth be waived...
Beware of Satan, for your safety of
your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to
lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small
things.
O People, it is true that you have
certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have right
over you. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right
to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be
kind to them for they are your partners and comitted helpers. And it
is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you
do not approve, as well as never to commit adultery.
O People, listen to me in earnest,
worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the
month of Ramadhan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if
you can afford to. You know that every Muslim is the brother of
another Muslim. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over other
except by piety and good action.
Remember, one day you will appear
before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not astray
from the path of righteousness after I am gone.
O People, no prophet or apostle will
come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore,
O People, and understand my words which I convey to you. I leave
behind me two things, the Qur'an and my example, the Sunnah and if
you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass
on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last
ones understand my words better than those who listen to me
directly. Be my witness oh Allah that I have conveyed your message
to your people."
