GAZA

"The Believers, in their mutual love, mercy and compassion, are like one body. If one organ complains, the entire body suffers with fever." Bukhari

The uncalled and unprovoked attack on the people of Gaza by the illegitimate Zionist regime of Israel will once again will be recorded in the annals of history. A history written with the blood, suffering, agony, devastation, fear, pain, bravery, lives, martyrdom and the resilience of the Palestinian people of Gaza.

The illegal siege of Gaza, illegal even in international law, which the state of Israel defies brazenly and unashamedly is abetted by the collusion of America and her allies. The silence of the Arab leaders is deafening. There is no condemnation either from the United Nations from whom the Muslim world expects little.

As an Ummah we need to educate and highlight the truth especially in the mainstream media which is largely very biased and slanted in favour of the illegitimate Zionist state. We have to be rational, factual and focused when engaging the media. In this sad and lamentable situation, we call on the Muslim Ummah to resort to earnest Dua and Istigfaar (repentance) together with the Tilaawah of the Holy Quraan as a means to assist our brethren in their most difficult time.

Qunoot an-Nazilah should be recited in the congregational Salaah to draw Divine aid. The victory and help of Allah Ta?la will surely come and we must never be despondent. It is indeed a sign of Imaan that we feel the agony and pain of the Ummah of our Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
