Remembering Our Brothers and Sisters...

Today is the 60th Year of the Nakba a.k.a catastrophe. Well, that's for us Muslims and for those who love peace and harmony, not forgetting the I-am-a-human-with heart. Coz for those who are heartless, they'll go and say..."Hey!!! It's the independence day today!!! It's Israel's 60th birthday!!!"

Erm... who is Israel??

Does it exist??

Not in my dictionary NO!! Definitely not.

Alright, it has a capital city, it has it's own economy, people living there is called Israelis, and it has boundaries. I mean literally. Literally and physically, all around.

Someone on my Facebook gave me this video
[ooops.. it's kinda lost... But I'll try and find it again]

Well, basically, imagine it being a video like have showing about the Palestinians... they have it for them..

And they go and spread it to the world!! I bet this person know I'm a Muslim as I'm wearing the hijab. And they go and spread their video to everyone. I bet now (since even my friends in Malaysia are using FB... though I have no slightest idea why...) people around the world has seen the video. But how many people have seen the lives of the Palestinians??

During ROQ last 2 weeks, a guy from ... (Amnesty I think??) shared with us his experiences whilst there. He showed us a few houses that is annexed by the apartheid wall... And these are houses and shops. What about schools and villages?? Farms??

Imagine this. You have a new garden in your front and backyard...you can have a picnic, BBQ, and even sunbathing (since the weather's so nice!). You were enjoying ur life until one day, a truck came with concrete slabs, and divide your garden into 2 parts, the smaller one's for you. The bigger portion, they say that they need to expand the road. We need the space M'am. It's for everyone's uses.

Everyone my foot! (Alhamdulillah swearing is not my cup of tea!)

Palestinians can't walk on certain roads.

Palestinians can't drive on certain roads.

Palestinians have to climb wall to see their families and friends who WERE only 5 metres away!

People must be crazy thinking how the Jews have suffered back in the past.

So, in order to have 'pity' on these minorities of the world's population, you go and inflict pain and agony on someone else?

Since they don't have a land to stay, you go and take other people's land. How 'humane' is that?

You call people throwing stones as terrorists. But tell me, the tank against a few pebbles of stones... who's the terrorist?

Huh.. I don't think I can write anymore coz I feel like my chest is blowing up!! So I'm gonna share with you the doa of a Sheikh for Masjdil Haram (I know many have seen this).



All the Palestinians ask from us is to bring Islam back. Only then shall Palestinians be free. Let them fight the tanks with their hands and stones. Let's do our part. Let's bring Islam back.

With Islam Umar al-Khattab freed Palestine from the Romans... and again with Islam, Salahuddin al-Ayyubi freed Palestine from the Crusades... and with Islam, we shall free Palestine!!

O Allah, only from you we ask for strength...

note to self: Must equip self with Arabic to understand the doa Qunut of the Imam in Leeds Grand Mosque during Ramadhan. I wonder why everyone cries when the Imam recite the dua... :-?
