“Mom, I’m fine.” The last words of six-year old boy, Wadea after being stabbed by an Islamophobe 26 times A landlord in the US was so distressed by the Pro-Israel, hateful anti-Muslim news reports, he unleashed his anger upon an innocent Palestinian family who lived in his house. When the mother asked him to pray for peace, he stabbed her and then went on to stab and kill her six-year old son, Wadea. The last words the boy spoke were, “Mom, I’m fine.” Look at what hatred and evil is being created about pure and innocent human beings who happened to belong to a land called Palestine. This is the result of people having been blinded by the darkness of propaganda, and starved of truth or compassion. Though our hearts weep for the love of this one pure young boy, who’s life was extinguished – stabbed no less than 26 times – by one man’s vicious explosion of bitterness, let’s not forget the thousands of other innocent victims on all sides of this dark and gruesome war of propaganda in the land once called ‘Holy’. The only solace I can gain from this, is in the words the small boy spoke as he left this blood-drenched, dying world, “Mom, I’m fine.” It tells us of the reality behind life and death in the grand scheme of things: “Surely God’s friends — no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.” (Q 10:62) You can almost see a cloud of angels fly the soul of the boy, away towards the heavenly light, and through the doors of God’s mercy, as he enters the eternal home of peace and happiness. This is the first stage of never ending happiness, as he is given the glad tidings of Paradise and eternal bliss, and his book is recorded in ‘Illiyyun (the highest heaven); then his soul will rejoice and be happy, and will never feel misery again. Wadea must have seen the ‘betweenness’, which most of us are veiled from. #palestine #israel

Here’s a little gift for the children on the occasion of the Prophet’s entrance into this world, peace be upon him. LINK IN THE BIO In the Muslim Calendar this month, known as Rabi Al Awal, is the month in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born. ‘Tala ‘Al Badru Alayna’ was the song he was greeted with as he travelled from the city of Makkah to Madinah. It is said to be the first song from the Muslim tradition in praise of the Last Prophet (peace be upon him). #rabialawwal #islam #peace #celebration #ilookisee #gratitude #mawlid #milad #whitemoon

I believe the land of Palestine and Israel has been bequeathed for all the children of Abraham, and the teachings and worship of One God. That is the view which should be adopted by the rest of the world, and all efforts made to reunite the hearts of Ishmaelites with the Israelites, and pray to God for the genocidal killing to stop, and forgiveness and peace to reign. #palestine #israel #abraham #onegod #jummamubarak #friday #genocide #bombing #stopthebombing #humanitarianaid #compassion #pracetrain #peace
Before the Declaration of Human Rights came the 10 Commandments The noble 10 Commandments I learned in primary school were engraved on my young heart; a reminder of what it means to be ‘good‘. The laws tell us what we need to know to make us civilised, they were not just meant to be a privy endowment for the Children of Israel, but for ALL People. Being good to your neighbour means exactly that—equal consideration for all. Looking at the horror of what’s happening now in the land once called ‘Holy’, it seems a new assault is about to be unleashed; ‘collective punishment’, a shameless war crime and potential genocide. How is that possible, from a group of people, who were historically the victims of such atrocities themselves? “(Oh Children of Israel) do you enjoin righteousness upon humanity and forget to observe it yourselves? Have you no sense?” #palestine #israel #gaza #humanitarian #tencommandments #humanrights #hope #peace

HUMANITY: A LOST CAUSE? Wrong cannot right a wrong. Rights to life, homes and identity belong to everybody. Let’s keep our hearts open for peace to have a place at the table. Remember the innocents who are suffering. True peace can only be built on a foundation of justice which should be equally distributed by the international community. And we all have a part to play. #palestine #Israel #gaza #humanity #innocent #justice #hope #peace

WORLD AS ONE Being born and brought up in the hub of Western culture and civilization and finally rising above the spheres of prejudice and suspicion about Islam and Muslims, I feel fortunate to have found my way and prayed in both Jerusalem and Makkah’s holy cities. The world is one, made for all of us to live and reside on; there is enough room for everybody. I see no sense in the continued violence in the Middle-East, and every other place where men, women and children are being slaughtered and driven from their homes. No reason, except perhaps, for the enormous spoils and profits it raises the evil warmongers and military industries. There are no words I have to say about such vile and contemptuous agents of darkness. My eyes weep for the victims, but my heart is calm in the knowledge that no one escapes God’s perfect justice. That helps give me peace. #palestine #israel #worldasone #genocide #ethniccleansing #peacetrain #peace
