Survival with Faith makes life worth living. Without it, life itself is meaningless

Some people are put in very awkward situations… Predicaments I call them from which escape seems impossible. YET they thrive, they keep on trying and trying under the worst circumstances ever. Whilst others may simply become insane, or commit suicide!

We must give credit to people of Palestine. I cannot generalize and say they are flawless. Definitely some of them err. But I personally marvel at their persistence and tolerance.

A mother losses one child and sometimes maybe more to the merciless of the Israeli soldiers. Natural deaths are very difficult, but imagine loosing a child, a brother or sister or father or even a close friend at the hands of your enemy. And not only are they enemies, no, they are oppressors occupying a home land and moreover forcing their unjust, bizarre rules and bigotry over the Palestinians.

Today Amr Khaled, a Muslim preacher was talking about the Israa and Mi3raj of Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih). When Palestine and Al Aqsa mosque were brought up, the word RESPONSIBILITY was brought up in alignment with emphasis.

Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih) told us that when Gabriel the Arc Angel asked him to walk into Al Aqsa, he saw many men. Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih) asked who they were, Gabriel Answered they are the earlier prophets before you. A two Rak3a prayer was to take place. Imagine how important this meeting was and how important the location was and what it symbolized. It meant so much Amr Khaled emphasized. It meant so many things.

All the Prophets (3alihim Alsalam includeing Prophet Muhammed Allahoma Saly 3alih) awaited Gabriel to speak. He called to Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih) and asked him to lead the prayers. That symbolized the equality and none prejudice all the prophets had for one another and for Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih). Also what role Allah himself had decided for Prophet Muhammed and that was through what Gabriel had asked him in accordance to Allah's commands to do by leading the other Prophets in prayer. It symbolized not only honor to Prophet Muhammed but giving him responsibility for many things, and what a cumbersome duty it was for him.

I cannot write now as well as Amr Khaled did with his organization and order of events (I am also unfortunately very short in time). Kindly visit http://www.amrkhaled.net/acategories/categories161.html for translation in English for his daily episodes of Ramadan 2005 "On the Path of the Beloved (Prophet Muhammed Allahoma Saly 3aleih). I think the episode will be titled Laylat al israa wal Miraaj because I think it still hasn't been published but will be very soon.

For those who do not know what kind of man Prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih) was, these episodes will tell you plenty about what kind of Prophet he was, instead of only hearing from the hateful side, at least give yourselves a chance to know the truth from our side. Or name it what you want, but at least you would have given the issue a fair chance to hear from both sides.

Not only was prophet Muhammed (Allahoma Saly 3aleih) given responsibility for spreading Justice and order to this world according to Allah's commandments, but so are we. We are all responsible for spreading Justice and enjoining peace amongst us. We should never fear to say what pleases God in the face of the tyrants. Remember, man is Allah's Caliph on earth. All mankind are. And that is why everyone shall be asked about time spent here on earth. How it was used. It is not possible that God created man just to eat, drink and have sex. There is definitely something more to our creation than spending it over our earthly desires.

Amr Also brought up a story about Mashitat Phira3awn, A hair dresser who believed in Allah and in Prophet Moses (3alihi alsalam) message. This woman was a believer, whose four children were thrown into the fire before her very eyes and she still said Allah is my lord and yours until she and her last loved one were both thrown into the fire together, and there was a miracle to the story also (if interested read the whole event on A.khaled's site). She was given high rank by God in the seven skies.

Motherhood! My god how hard it is. I always try to imagine if I were put in a similar situation, what would I do? Or any other situation where I would have to say something that is not true just to save my neck from the enemy of God and mankind! I just had that imagination between prayers again today about Omar, and I practically cried and asked God to strengthen me should I be put in such a situation, although I truly cannot imagine what would happen to me, and that is precisely why I keep asking to be strong, just incase.

Just the thought hurts me so much and makes me cry and shed tears. Imagine a mother actually in the situation.. Seeing her kid be killed, or dragged by those inhumane barbaric Zionists who seem to think or actually believe that they are above all.

Well , In konta kabeeran FALLAHO AKBAR. ALLAHO AKBAR.. ALLAHO AKBAR..

Should you (Zionists or anyone else for all God cares) think you are great, ALLAH IS GREATER. And boy is his justice going to hurt you. Hurt you at a time when no matter how much you cry for mercy, it shan't be granted. You shall be told, too late… too late. What happened to Mercy? What happened to equal and equitable justice amongst mankind? Really! Well God is just. I know He is. And I know he shall avenge the people who have been done wrong.

This world is just a small journey for all of us. What will truly count is the after life. I pray and beg forgiveness for my sins and for all believers and guidance for those astray. I love all mankind and wish every one truly wakes up. WE all have our weaknesses and faults, but there are major and minor sins. God is merciful indeed, but we should not misuse this forgiveness.

Never fear to say a word of integrity in the face of a tyrant. We shall all be asked what we did in such situations. Allah backs those who have mercy and compassion in their hearts. He blesses those who fear none but Him.

I tell myself this before any of you readers. I am full of faults. I am really trying.

Lets all pray for one another.

La illaha illa anta sub7anaka ina konna min al thalemeen. Faghfir lana war7amna ya Ra7eem.

Allah is one, glory be to him, we were amongst the wrong doers. Forgive us and have mercy on us for you are the Merciful.
