Jom Buat Umrah!

Qunut Nazilah

Ya Allah, kami letakkan Engkau di batang leher musuh kami, dan kami berlindung denganMu dari kejahatan mereka. Ya Allah leburkan kumpulan mereka, kacau-bilaukan kesatuan mereka, cerai-beraikan pakatan mereka, goncangkan pendirian mereka, hantarkan anjing Engkau ke atas mereka. Wahai Tuhan yang gagah perkasa, wahai Tuhan yang penuh raksasa, wahai Tuhan yang bersifat murka. Ya Allah. Wahai Tuhan yang menurunkan Al-Quran, wahai Tuhan yang mengarakkan awan, wahai Tuhan yang menewaskan bala tentera Al-Ahzab, kalahkan mereka, menangkanlah kami ke atas mereka.

UN:No fighters in targeted school

The head of the UN agency in Gaza running the school that was attacked by Israel forces has rejected claims that Hamas fighters were inside the converted shelter.

The Israeli military accused Hamas of using civilians sheltering inside the building as “human shields” and said its troops had returned fire after fighters fired mortars at their positions from within al-Fakhora school in the Jabaliya refugee camp.

But John Ging, the director of operations in Gaza for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa), told reporters that he had visited the school during a three-hour lull in the fighting on Wednesday and “was reassured by the management of the school … that there were no militants in the school”.

Untukmu Palestina!

Sana’khoodu Ma’arikana Ma’ahum
We’ll take our fights with them
Wa sanam dhiJi moo’an Narda’uhum
We’ll go as groups to stop them
Wa nu’eedul haqqal mug-tasaba
We’ll return our slain rights (territories)
Wa bi kullil quwwati Nad-fa’uhum
With all force we’ll push them out

Who Started The War?

The Prophet and the People who Opposed him

20/03/2004

Bleeding from head to toe, battered and exhausted, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was faced with a choice. Should he or should he not seek to destroy the people who had just humiliated him by having their children chase him out of town while throwing stones at him? And what was his crime? All he wanted to do was to share his message and seek to benefit his people.

Gentleness

Gentleness is the best quality that one can have; on the authority of A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, the Prophet (PBUH) said, “O A’ishah! Show gentleness, for if gentleness is found in anything, it beautifies it and when it is taken out from anything it damages it.” (Sunan Abu Dawud)

When you meet people, greet them with gentle talk and a smiling face, because these are the attributes of the believer, like bee which eats sweet things and creates sweet things (honey), and if they land on a flower they do not break it. Allah (SWT) rewards His servants more for gentleness than violence.

On the authority of A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Be gentle and calm, O A’ishah, as Allah likes gentleness in all affairs.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

Dear Beloved Son

A spiritual discourse, a timely reminder before ramadhan

‘To counsel others is an easy matter, the difficulty is accepting advice since it is bitter for those who follow their own inclination and desire. They love the forbidden from the depth of their hearts. This is more applicable to seekers of knowledge and students of learning, those of them who are busy with the benefits of the world They believe that mere abstract knowledge, without proper action, will rescue them. This is the belief of the philosophers’
