Startling—and stomach turning : where Palestinians are involved, memory and sense of proportion fail us. The Jewish conscience, justifiably, has long called upon the world’s powers and upon their citizens to remain vigilant, never to forget -in the name of “the duty of memory”- the atrocities, massacres and genocides of the past. But where the State of Israel is involved, we are expected to set all sense of proportion aside, to leap to conclusions. Suddenly, it would be assumed that these are two equally powerful belligerents. After a six-month ceasefire, one of the two parties to the conflict (the Palestinians) is said to have broken the truce by unleashing its rockets. The victim of aggression (Israel) is acting solely in self-defense—if we are to believe the version sold to the world by Israel, and relayed by complacent and complicit Western media with the full support of the Bush administration and of many European governments. The bravest among them can barely bring themselves to point out Israel’s “disproportionate” reaction. What courage!

Dua - The Strongest Weapon the Ummah has

  • Date: Jan 3,2009

Seriously.  What are we waiting for?  All the protest, letters (even the one I wrote to KSA), campaigns, donations and anything else are nothing compared to the dua of the believers.  We need to make dua.  We need to make dua!  We MUST make dua!

Ya Allah!  Protect all the innocent under oppression!  Protect their homes and their lives!  Ameen!


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

إخوتى الكرام في الإسلام

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

خادم الحرمين الشريفين الملك عبد الله بن عبد العزيز،  أحييكم بتحية السلام والبركة داعيا الله عزوجل لكم بتمام الصحة والايمان والهداية إلى الصراط المستقيم. آمين

أما بعد

إن الاحوال التي يمر بها إخواننا  في فلسطين لا تخفى عليكم و باعتبارالمملكة الدولة الأقوى والأكثر تأثيرا في العالم الاسلامي فإنني أهيب بكم أن يتم اتخاذ الإجراءات السريعة بوقف جميع صادراتكم إلى أن تتوقف اسرائيل عن هياجها وقمعها وظلمها وقتلها للابرياء في غزه. أوقفوا جميع الصادرات حتى يتمكن اخواننا الفلسطينيين من تلقي الدواء والغذاء والمساعدات الإنسانية. أوقفوا جميع الصادرات حتى تتوصل إسرائيل وفلسطين إلى نتيجة سلمية بحيث يستطيع الطرفان العيش بسلام دائم

لقد منّ الله على المملكة العربية السعودية بنفط وفير لسنوات عديدة. هذا النفط يستخدم في عديد من جوانب الاقتصاد في جميع البلدان في العالم وبدونه يشل الاقتصاد . كل شيء من السفر الجوي إلى الأرضي الى إنتاج البلاستيك إلى تغليف الأغذية يتوقف مع ايقاف النفط . هذه هي فرصتكم لاستخدامه ضد أولئك الذين مارسوا الظلم على الأمة الإسلامية. هذا السلاح الاقتصادي أقوى من اي سلاح نووي وأي مدفع وأي صاروخ

وإني أدعو الله أن يوفق قادة المملكة العربية السعودية في التصدي ضد الأنظمة الظالمة و قطع جميع الصادرات حتى تتوقف اسرائيل عن سياستها القمعية   .

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،،

إبن محمد هارون الرشيد

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Asalamualykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

My respected elders and brothers in Islam. King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, the custodian of the the two holy masajid, I greet you with the peace and blessings of Allah. I pray to Allah that you and the members of the KSA government are in the best of health and state of iman. I pray that we are all guided upon the straight path. Ameen.

As you are aware of our brothers and sisters in Palestine and their current situation I ask you as the most powerful and influential Muslim country in the Muslim world to take action. I ask you to completely halt all exports until Israel stops it’s rampage. Halt all exports until all Palestinians are able to receive medicine food and humanitarian aid. Halt all exports until Israel and Palestine come together to formulate a peaceful outcome where both groups can exist without any problems.

Allah has blessed Saudi Arabia with abundant oil for many years. This natural resource is used in every single country and without it many aspects of the economy would fail. Everything from air travel to ground travel to plastic production to food packaging will have to put on hold if the supply of oil were to be reduced. Now is your chance to use it against those who have caused oppression upon the Muslim ummah. It is an economic weapon greater than the gun or missile.

InshaAllah I pray to Allah that leaders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia step up to the oppressive regimes and cut off all exports until Israel stops.

Update: Shaykh Khalil sent me the trailer. I can’t embed but it’s on facebook here.

Movie synopsis:

Ibn Battuta is one of the greatest travelers in history, journeying three times further than Marco Polo. JOURNEY TO MECCA IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF IBN BATTUTA tells the story of Ibn Battuta’s perilous and awe-inspiring two year journey from Tangiers to Mecca in the 1320’s, and includes extraordinary footage of the Hajj as it was experienced in the 14th century, and as it is experienced today by millions of people — images never seen before on the Giant Screen.

Belal from Leechon says:

I HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE to go see this film in the IMAX and bring ALL your friends along. The movie is about 45 mins long and follows Ibn Batutta beginning his journey with the Hajj.

Visually this film is a beautiful eye-candy treat. They’ve taken you into the past of what it was like to go to Hajj in the olden days and have paralled it with what it’s like today.

The filming of this movie was done last year and they’ve done a mighty fine job.

I just need to find out if it’s showing near me.

Thanks to David, here is the official movie website (currently under construction). You can also find it on IMDB and Big Movie Zone.


In the name of God
Bismillah

May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you
Asalamualykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

Many of you have read the news. Many of you have seen the pictures. Many of you are protesting or writing letters. Many of you have blogged about it. Many of you have made dua.

What if we all did something together in unison on one night, Thursday January 1, 2009? What if we all stood in prayer in our homes, offices, schools, dorms or wherever we may be on Thursday night? What if we could get at least one thousand Muslims around the world making the same dua? Think of the probability of one dua being accepted out of a thousand.

Viral marketing spreads like wildfire. So I’m calling this viral dua! Spread this viral dua to everyone!

We will stand on this night to ask Allah (God) to…

  • …end all the suffering of all the innocent people around the world.
  • …bring justice to all the oppressive rulers and regimes around the world.
  • …seek forgiveness for all our sins.
  • …to grant us when we die and all those believers who have died, heaven.

Let’s try to get at least 1 person in all the cities where Muslims live to sacrifice one night to ask Allah (swt) to end the suffering in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and all around the world where there is suffering.

I’ll start off with myself. I intend to stand on the night of Thursday January 1, 2009 in prayer for justice around the world.

Join us and comment your location (see example below). Why? The more locations the more people will join, because they’ll realize they are not alone on this night.  You can even advertise a link if you want to.  You can even add your link/name and keep your location blank.

Over 600+ on the Facebook event have been confirmed.


An Israeli patrol boat struck a boat carrying medical volunteers and supplies to Gaza early Tuesday as it attempted to intercept the vessel in the Mediterranean Sea, witnesses and Israeli officials said.

CNN Correspondent Karl Penhaul was aboard the 60-foot, Gibraltar-registered pleasure boat Dignity when the contact occurred. When the boat later docked in the Lebanese port city of Tyre, severe damage was visible to the forward port side of the boat, and the front left window and part of the roof had collapsed.

The Dignity was carrying crew and 16 passengers — physicians from Britain, Germany and Cyprus and human rights activists, including former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney — who were trying to reach Gaza through an Israeli blockade of the territory

Israel claims they are justified in what they are doing, but can they justify this! If home-made rockets are being used against you, then attack the rocket launchers. They have the most sophisticated technology and advanced weaponry, yet they need to attack a boat full of medicine to stop home-made rockets?

The world is seeing the true mission of this Israeli war on the Palestinian people. They don’t care about the rockets. They want to kill the Palestinians by any means necessary.

Shout out to Abu Yusuf for blogging this.


Egyptians Attack Palestinians at Border

The Egyptian government needs to be changed. Seriously.

RAFAH, Egypt (Reuters) - An Egyptian border guard and a Palestinian youth were killed during border clashes between Hamas and Egyptian security forces on Sunday in turmoil triggered by Israel’s assault on Gaza.

An Egyptian security source said forces of the Palestinian Hamas group had also shot an Egyptian policeman in the leg.

The incidents took place near the main border crossing between Egypt and Gaza, where Egyptian riot police fired in the air to try to drive back Palestinians who had managed to penetrate the border wall.

The events are likely to aggravate tense relations between Hamas and the Egyptian government, which says that Hamas is largely to blame for the Israeli onslaught. Israeli air strikes have killed nearly 300 people in Gaza in two days.

Why doesn’t American bring Democracy to Egypt? Oh wait, then they’ll elect a “terrorist” organization, which basically means any organization that is not in the best interest of the America. Egypt is worse than Israel.
