The Prophet is calling out to the ummah from Medina;
He says; Take care of that spiritual embezzlement.
Do not silence the nightingales singing in the lectern,
Do not wither the roses that chant in the garden.
O Islamic scholars! Don't be fooled by masks;
Do not mistake the make-up of the West as civilization.
Do not think that the crusade's campaigns will end;
The soldiers of the infidels are always in ambush.

What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known, but now can u tell!
The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls
6232verses, so strong
9 out of 10 of us can't even read or write
1924 feels distant like way before Christ

=============
Ali ibn Abi Talib
(Arabic: علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب; Transliteration: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib,
13th Rajab, 24 BH–21st Ramaḍān, 40 AH; approximately October 23, 598 or 600 or March 17, 599 – January 27, 661) was the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and ruled over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661, and was the first male convert to Islam.
Sunni Muslims consider Ali the fourth and final of the Rashidun (rightly guided Caliphs), while Shi'a Muslims regard Ali as the first Imam and consider him and his descendants the rightful successors to Muhammad, all of which are members of the Ahl al-Bayt, the household of Muhammad. This disagreement split the Ummah (Muslim community) into the Sunni and Shi'a branches.
Muslim sources, especially Shi'a ones, state that during Muhammad's time, Ali was the only person born in the Kaaba sanctuary in Mecca, the holiest place in Islam. His father was Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib and his mother was Fatima bint Asad, but he was raised in the household of Muhammad, who himself was raised by Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle. When Muhammad reported receiving a divine revelation, Ali was the first male to accept his message, dedicating his life to the cause of Islam.
Ali migrated to Medina shortly after Muhammad did. Once there Muhammad told Ali that God had ordered Muhammad to give his daughter, Fatimah, to Ali in marriage. For the ten years that Muhammad led the community in Medina, Ali was extremely active in his service, leading parties of warriors on battles, and carrying messages and orders. Ali took part in the early caravan raids from Mecca and later in almost all the battles fought by the nascent Muslim community.
Ali was appointed Caliph by the Companions of Muhammad (the Sahaba) in Medina after the assassination of the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan. He encountered defiance and civil war during his reign. In 661, Ali was attacked one morning while worshipping in the mosque of Kufa, and died a few days later.
In Muslim culture, Ali is respected for his courage, knowledge, belief, honesty, unbending devotion to Islam, deep loyalty to Muhammad, equal treatment of all Muslims and generosity in forgiving his defeated enemies, and therefore is central to mystical traditions in Islam such as Sufism. Ali retains his stature as an authority on Qur'anic exegesis, Islamic jurisprudence and religious thought. Ali holds a high position in almost all Sufi orders which trace their lineage through him to Muhammad. Ali's influence has been important throughout Islamic history.

Sayings of Imam Ali (A.S.)
"Herkesin bakmadığı yönden bak dünyaya.."
"Look at the world from the different side that opposites of others looking."
Hz. Mevlana (k.s)
Happy new Hijri year to all of you and May Allah bless this great Ummah..
التاسع من شهر ذي الحجة هو يوم عرفة وهو أفضل يوم في السنة كلها وهذا اليوم المبارك يسن لغير الحاج صومه وهو يوم عظيم القدر عند المسلمين ففي ذلك اليوم يجتمع الحجيج في الموقف في أرض عرفات وتلهج ألسنتهم بذكر الله والإستغفار والدعاء وقول لاإله إلاالله وحده لاشريك له وبعده يكون يوم العيد للناس وللحجاج الذين تزدحم أعمال الخير في ذلك اليوم لديهم ففيه أهم أعمال الحجيج، ففيه يرمون جمرة العقبة ويطوفون بالبيت طواف الإفاضة ويحلقون رؤوسهم ويذبحون هداياهم ويبقون في منى، أما غير الحجاج فإنهم يصلون العيد ويذبحون أضاحيهم ويكبرون ويحمدون.
فلنحمد الله على هذه النعمة ولنجدد الشكر له سبحانه وتعالى و يشرع للجميع الإكثار من التكبير والذكر في هذا اليوم وفي يوم
العيد وأيام التشريق، فهي أيام ذكر وشكر كما قال سبحانه: وَأَذّن فِى ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَجّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالاً وَعَلَىٰ كُلّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلّ فَجّ عَميِقٍ لّيَشْهَدُواْ مَنَـٰفِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُواْ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ فِى أَيَّامٍ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٍ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مّن بَهِيمَةِ ٱلاْنْعَامِ [الحج:27، 28]، ولقوله سبحانه: وَٱذْكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ فِى أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودٰتٍ [البقرة:203 بقول: الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر الله أكبر ولله الحمد، يقول: الله أكبر الله، أكبر الله أكبر كبيراً.
Muslims are one. Their geographical differences are for their identity. In Islam our borders are open to each other. We live on the land of Allah. We are one Umma with different languages and race. No matter who we are, we recognize Allah as our means of sustenance on earth as Arafa means recognition of this fact.
Arafat is the name of the desert and day of Arafa is the ninth day of the month of Zul-Hajja, the day that everyone meets at this desert only to see each other, to live together a day to recognize each other as Arafa means to know - to be acquainted with Allah in being with each other. It is the place of every Muslim in the simple clothing of two pieces of white material. We know each other with the name of "Hajj" or one who is intending, not by title or rank. It is the land of equality, no boundary but different nations. No restriction of moving from one part to another. All the nations are brothers and are together in this vast desert. In the end of the day of Arafa, we all move to the valley of Muzdalifa or Mash'ar (awareness). If in the vast desert of Arafat we were separated and each group and nationality were by themselves, the valley of Mash'ar brings everyone together because we are in Mash'ar (awareness) . The night of Mash'ar is to pick up war materials (stones) so you can attack at dawn. We stay behind the boundary of Mina and pick up small stones or pebbles for each battle with Satan. You will need 7 stones for at least seven attacks on each evil or a total of 49 stones.
Hajj gives us a lesson of unity and togetherness and confrontation against evils and those who are against the unity of mankind. We can be united if we come together in Arafat (recognition) and reject evils in Mina and follow the law of Allah in Mecca as the rejection of any Deity is required to achieve Allah's will.
The reality we see is that Muslims are one "Ummah" and one nation with different languages and cultures and from different races and boundaries. In this desert, Muslims are neighbors to each other and spend a full day together as the World of Islam is one. We are not divided and the line of Allah is extended to hold firm on it and be not divided. The "Dzikr" and the words prayer chanted by different groups of races makes you of them. They may not speak your language but it shows and express clearly that the Quran is our constitution and the tradition of our beloved Prophet is our way of life.
"The snow..
Will one day melt..
And will be gone..
The traceable footsteps in it..
Will disappear..
And leave nothing behind..
And so will my story..
It will end..
But it will leave me..
A remembrance to be kept..
In a music-box of memories.."
Entah kenapa, dalam kesibukan diri, tiba-tiba hati rindu pada seseorang. Seseorang di tanah air yang aku gaduh dengan sebelum balik ke UK tempoh hari. Tak sempat aku nak cakap sesuatu, tapi dia sudah menghilangkan diri. Tak sempat aku nak luahkan sesuatu tapi dia sudah melangkah pergi. Tiada lagi kata-kata penyejuk hati seperti biasa. Tiada lagi ayat-ayat cinta sebelum aku terbang jauh ke sini (ok, geli geliman..)
Ok cut the crap. Sebenarnya, aku rindu Nazme yang teramat :( tapi sehari sebelum aku balik ke UK haritu, aku gaduh dengan dia. "Mak na tanak sayang Nazme dah!" konon-konon merajuk, sebab dia tanak dengar cakap aku. Haha.. "Ok lah! Nazme pun tanak sayang Mak Na!" dia lari meninggalkan aku, pergi sambung main game.
Masa aku salam-salam semua kaum keluarga sebelum ke airport sambil menangis teresak-esak, aku panggil Nazme dan peluk dia sekuat hati. Tak sempat nak minta maaf dengan dia. Tapi dia tengah main game masa tu, tak kuasa kot nak layan aku. Haha..
Tapi betul, aku terkilan sebab gaduh dengan Nazme sehari sebelum aku balik UK. Menyesal, sebab aku lupa yang dia tak selamanya menjadi seorang kanak-kanak berusia 5 tahun. Dan sebab aku pun tak tahu bila lagi ada peluang balik Malaysia, mungkin Nazme yang bakal aku jumpa nanti, dah besar dan tanak dilayan seperti budak kecil lagi.
"Mama, Nazme nak ikut Mak Na balik UK boleh? Nazme nak main snow nak buat snowman" tanya Nazme kepada kakakku, sehari selepas aku sampai Malaysia tempoh hari.
Setiap kali aku nampak snow, kesejukan dan kedinginan angin betul-betul meresap ke tulang sumsum. Ditambah dengan kesejukan hati aku merindui Nazme, sejuk yang teramat perit terasa seperti ingin masuk dalam oven!
Ok aku dah merepek ni. Tapi betul, aku rindu Nazme yang teramat sangat :(
Maafkan aku andai ku tak sempurna. Tapi jika aku ada kuasa, kan ku bekukan detik ini, agar kau terus menjadi pojaan hatiku. ya Allah, jadikanlah anak-anak saudaraku anak-anak yang soleh dan solehah, penyejuk mata ayah dan ibu, pembangga ummah yang berjaya, insyaAllah..
p/s: gambar diambil semasa kami meredah salji yang agak lebat untuk ke dewan peperiksaan. MasyaAllah, sejuk yang menggigit tulang dan organ dalaman!!

Toledo (UK: /tɒˈleɪdoʊ/ tol-AY-doh; Spanish: [toˈleðo]) is a city and municipality of Spain, the capital of the province of Toledo and the de jure seat of the government and parliament of the autonomous community of Castilla–La Mancha.
Toledo is primarily located on the right (north) bank of the Tagus in central Iberia, nestled in a bend of the river.
Built on a previous Carpetanian settlement, Toledo developed into an important Roman city of Hispania, later becoming the capital (civitas regia) of the Visigothic Kingdom and seat of a powerful archdiocese. Often unsubmissive to Umayyad central rule during the Islamic period, Toledo (طليطلة) nonetheless acquired a status as a major cultural centre (promoting productive cultural exchanges between the Ummah and the Latin Christendom), which still retained after the collapse of the caliphate and the creation of the Taifa of Toledo in the early 11th century. Following the Christian conquest in 1085, Toledo continued to enjoy an important status within the Crown of Castile, open to the Muslim and Jewish influences. In the early modern period, the economy stayed afloat for a while after the loss of political power to Madrid thanks to the silk industry, but Toledo entered a true decline in the 1630s, in the context of overall economic recession.
In the 21st century, population growth in the municipality has largely concentrated in the Santa María de Benquerencia (aka Polígono) district, a modern residential area detached from the historic centre located upstream on the left (south) bank of the Tagus.
The city has a Gothic Cathedral, and a long history in the production of bladed weapons, which are now common souvenirs of the city. Toledo was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive monumental and cultural heritage.
As of January 2024, the municipality had a population of 86,526. The municipality has an area of 232.1 km2 (89.6 sq mi). S_6966

As you all know that the global Muslim Ummah has welcomed Ramadan last week. This whole experience is so profound and delightful for me. We broke eighth fast today. This photograph was taken before iftaar (breaking fast).
Peace.
Friday Night Dancing With The Stars, Divided As People But One With The Universe Under The Eyes Of God - IMRAN™
Think about it. I mean really think about it, gentle reader, and decent human being, wherever in the world you read my words.
Friday night, more like Saturday morning 0230AM, as I step out to be under the open sheltering sky. An 'ordinary night' in 'extraordinary times' silently and darkly covering this part of the world. Yet little points of light loudly tell silent stories of our place in the cosmos.
I do not have the needed equipment nor the time or patience to fully get into astrophotography. But once in a while, I like to click a few random shots of the sky late at night.
Even being in an almost unknown town like Apollo Beach, nearly 30-45 minutes of driving from downtown Tampa, which itself is not the biggest or brightest city, it is easy to see how much man-made light-pollution fills the sky.
It makes it impossible to see the Milky Way, which is actually right in the direction my camera is pointed towards. It is pretty mind-boggling to see that many of these little blobs of light are not even massive stars, they are actual galaxies.
This is a few megabytes file that social media will show you, derived from a 22MB image I saved from a 150MB single photograph. But even at this file size, if you zoom in, you can begin to make out the spiral shapes of some of the spots in the sky.
Then to imagine how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things, yet how one with God, the Almighty Creator of all that is in the universe, and the multiverses beyond, we are... but only when we are big enough to appreciate and bow our head in gratitude at how tiny we really are even as an entire planet.
May God grant us the wisdom to protect ourselves, our families, our friends, our nations, and our planet, from stupid self-destructive positions, policies, politics, and preying power-players.
It is time to choose. Please choose intelligence and science, decency and humanity, versus the vile forces of bigotry, racism, fundamentalism, hypocrisy, along with rampant ignorance and pure stupidity some are flag-waving hat-wearing professors of.
Choose wisely, as if your, our, our species', and our planet's very existence depend on it. Because it truly does. Say a prayer, and Vote! May we all be able to dance under the stars as a united nation, ummah, country, species, and planet, again, soon. Amen.

Forgive me for everything.
So for everyone,
every single Muslim,
dead or alive,
I do du’a that you forgive them
for all their sins.
Oh Allah, Please Help us all and guide us,
for You are Everything to us.
O Allah,
I cannot stress how much I ask
for Your Forgiveness and Your Guidance.
O Allah,
I fear You,
I fear You soooo much words cannot describe.
I fear the day when I will meet You,
and I WILL meet You.
When we are one on one,
and I have no one’s help or support.
No-one can take the blame for me
nor I for them.
The only thing I will have
is a little book given to me by You
that has my deeds.
O Allah,
Let me die as Muslim,
O Allah,
Please Forgive me for my thoughts,
for even though I get sinned only for my actions,
I cannot help but feel guilty for my thoughts
and I ask You to Forgive me for them
and to clear my mind of any impurities
until You become the Only thing on my mind.
I do du’a
You shed Your Mercy
on the Prophet Muhammad ,
his family and companions.
I do du’a
that you grant Muhammad
the Highest Station in Paradise.

God Bless PAKISTAN
Immer wenn den anti-syrischen islamistischen Terroristen eine Niederlage droht und damit ein Ende des Krieges, springen denen die USA und die Merkel-Groko zur Hilfe herbei, und die Propaganda wird hochgefahren.
Gedankenexperiment: In Potsdam haben sich tausende Terroristen eingenistet, die dem Regime der Machthaberin A.M. endgültig den Todesstoß versetzen wollen. (Die Machthaberin gehört der evangelischen Kirche an, während die Bevölkerungsmehrheit religionslos, katholisch, prowissenschaftlich, esoterisch, buddhistisch, atheistisch oder bayerisch ist und sich durch eine evangelische FDJ-Frau aus Hamburg nicht vertreten fühlt.) Täglich beschießen die Potsdamer "Rebellen" wahllos mit Mörsern die Hauptstadt Berlin. Die Polizei und die Bundeswehr haben Potsdam zwar eingekesselt und angeblich gehen Lebensmittel aus, aber nicht die Waffen (die seltsamerweise immer wieder in Massen aus US-Flugzeugen fallen). Die Abschussbasen der Terroristen werden durch menschliche Schutzschilde geschützt. Dazu werden Zivilisten wahllos gefangen genommen und in Käfigen auf LKWs neben den Rebellennestern aufgestellt, die sich vorzugsweise in der Nähe von Krankenhäusern und Schulen befinden. Jeden Tag das gleiche Spiel. 40 bis 50 Tote und zig Verwundete sind in Berlin zu beklagen. Aus humanitären Gründen hat die Machthaberin es bis jetzt abgelehnt, gegen diese Angriffe vorzugehen, nachdem ein Versuch gescheitert ist. Man hatte der Machthaberin vorgeworfen, ihr eigenes Volk zu morden. Seit dieser Zeit passiert nichts mehr. Alle Parteien haben mittlerweile ihre Hauptquartiere verlegt. Die GRÜNEN, die CDU, CSU, SPD, AfD, Piratenpartei, FDP sowie USA, EU, UNO und NATO begrüßen die Entscheidung der Machthaberin, nichts zu unternehmen. Es seien größtenteils doch nur Stalinisten, Arbeitslose, Ossis, ehemalige Wehrdiensverweigerer und SEDler, Hartz-IV-Empfänger, Nazis, Nicht-Leistungsträger, Migrationshintergrund-Leute sowie Übergewichtige, Kranke, Alte, Arme und die Polizisten und Soldaten der Machthaberin, welche dem Bombenterror der "Rebellen aus Potsdam" zum Opfer fielen. Der international sehr geachtete Schriftsteller Dennis Juxel beschrieb das als “Völkersterben der schönsten Sorte”. (Die LINKE und einige US-kritische NATO-kritische außerparlamentarische Gruppen werfen der Machthaberin Untätigkeit vor, aber was diese "Nazis/Stalinisten/Sexisten/Extremisten" sagen, interessiert keinen.) Die Femen haben zu einer Demo auf dem Altar der Gedächtniskirche aufgerufen und die Aktivistinnen verlautbaren: “Was Bomber Harris in Dresden begonnen hat, findet in Berlin jetzt die Vollendung.” Eine Mail mit einem Gruppenbild der Damen geht als Wichsvorlage, äh Fotogruss, an die Kämpfer der Ahrar al-Scham. Kardinal Völki und der evangelische Landesbischof Bettwurst-Strom loben die Machthaberin für ihre Untätigkeit und verweisen auf Matthäus 5,39: „Wenn dich einer auf die linke Wange schlägt, dann halt ihm auch die andere hin“. Die Potsdamer "Rebellen" seien Menschen wie wir und die ehem. Ratsvorsitzende Käsfrau ergänzte: „Jesus hat eine Herausforderung hinterlassen: Liebet eure Feinde! Betet für die, die euch verfolgen!“
Die Deutsche Umwelthilfe hat auf das massive Problem der hohen Feinstaubbelastung durch die Raketen hingewiesen.
Zaghaft antichambriert schon die deutsche Waffenlobby beim Wirtschaftsminister: “Wenn schon in Deutschland geschossen wird, sollten die deutschen Waffenproduzenten auch vorrangig berücksichtigt werden.” Der sozialdemokratische Wirtschaftsminister Sieschmar Plopp versprach wohlwollende Prüfung.
Man erwägt die Hauptstadt jetzt außerhalb der Reichweite der Waffen neu aufzubauen. Als Standort ist die strukturschwache Uckermark im Gespräch. Das Projekt “BER” (Flughafen Berlin) wird aus Sicherheitsgründen eingestellt und die dadurch freiwerdenden Kapazitäten können zum Aufbau von Merkelstadt, wie die neue Hauptstadt dann heißen wird, voll genutzt werden. Das Know-How, das sich in Jahrzehnten aufgebaut hat, garantiert eine zügige Bauabwicklung. Die notwendigen Beschlüsse sollen sofort gefasst werden, falls demnächst eine neue Regierung gebildet ist.
Um die Einwohner Potsdams mit Lebensmittel versorgen zu können, wurde vom UN-Sicherheitsrat eine 30-tägige Feuerpause verabschiedet. Der Wunsch, die Konvois nach Waffen zu untersuchen, wurde allerdings abgelehnt. Die deutsche Beobachtungsstelle für Menschenrechte, die sich in Coventry befindet und nur aus dem Abdul Rachmann besteht, berichtet täglich von der verzweifelten wirtschaftlichen Situation in Potsdam. Der Vorsitzende des Zentralrates der gemäßigten Rebellen, Eiman Maizena, fordert täglich die Ablösung der Machthaberin. Das Verlegen der Hauptstadt löst nicht das Problem. Eine Zukunft des Kalifats al-Schland ist a) weder mit einer Frau, noch b) mit dieser Frau möglich.
So oder ähnlich könnte es hier mal kommen. Parallelen zu entwickeln ist recht schwierig, weil eine humanitäre Lösung in Syrien an den Eigeninteressen aller Beteiligten scheitert. Die USA hätten gerne das Öl, die Israelis das Land, Katar das Recht zur Verlegung einer Pipeline, die Türken die Ausrottung aller Kurden, die Deutschen möglichst viele Aufträge für Waffen, Autos und den Wiederaufbau, und die marodierenden Horden dienen sich jedem an, der mit Dollars winkt.
Die Berichterstattung in den westlichen Medien ist vollkommen verlogen. Die wenigen, die sauber berichten, werden kaltgestellt. Oder wer hat den Michael Lüders seit April 2017 bei Lanz noch mal gesehen? Wer hat Prof. Günter Meyer gehört? Wer nicht NATO-Speech redet, der kriegt das Etikett “Umstritten” angeklebt und fliegt aus dem ÖR. Als Quelle dient die Einmannkapelle “Syrische Beobachtungsstelle” und die britische NGO “Weißhelme“ (White Helmets), die zwar in Syrien keiner kennt, aber herrliche Horrorfilmchen nach dem immer gleichen Strickmuster drehen: Die "Bösen" sind Assad und die Russen. Hier berichtet der Vater des “Aleppo-Boys” wie die Weißhelme seinen Sohn für ihre Propaganda missbraucht haben: www.collective-evolution.com/2017/06/19/father-of-famous-... . Sogar dem Unbedarften müsste mittlerweile auffallen, das da immer der gleiche Kameramann/Regisseur zufällig immer da ist, wo etwas passiert. Die Filme erkennt man sofort: Schräge Kamera, Hintergrund im Nebel, irgendwelche Leute rennen wie die Hühner ohne Sinn und Verstand durch die Gegend. Mindestens einer hält immer ein Kind, das weiß geschminkt und mit Blut besprengelt ist. Man muss sich mal vorstellen, die Verbrecherbande der White Helmets wird uns als Kronzeuge für Vorgänge in Syrien vom ÖR vorgeführt. ÖR (Öffentlich-Rechtliche Medien) als Quelle für Fake News über Syrien! Einer, der auch nichts mehr sagen darf, ist Eugen Drewermann.

Antisyrische Terroristen in Ost-Ghuta (bei Merkel heißen sie "Rebellen") nehmen Zivilisten als Geiseln und planen wieder Einsatz chemischer Waffen
Die Terroristen in Ost-Ghuta, die weiterhin Zivilisten als Geiseln halten und Damaskus unter Verletzung einer humanitären Feuerpause bombardieren, könnten einen provokativen chemischen Angriff durchführen, warnte das Russische Zentrum für Versöhnung in Syrien.
Die Führer der militanten Einheiten, die den Vorort Ost-Ghuta von Damaskus kontrollieren, könnten "eine Provokation vorbereiten, die den Einsatz chemischer Waffen beinhaltet", sagte Generalmajor Jurij Jewtuschenko in einem Briefing am Sonntag unter Berufung auf Informationen, die das Russische Zentrum für Aussöhnung in Syrien erhalten hat.
Nur wenige Stunden nach der Warnung tauchten Berichte auf, wonach mehrere Menschen in Ost-Ghuta unter Symptomen litten, die typischerweise mit einer Chlorgas-Freisetzung einhergehen. Die Anschuldigungen wurden durch Bilder der so genannten Weißhelme unterstützt. Diese Organisation ist für ihre einzigartige Fähigkeit bekannt, am richtigen Ort zur rechten Zeit zu erscheinen, um ziviles Leid zu filmen, das später einseitig den syrischen Regierungstruppen angeheftet wird. Für ihre Arbeit wurde die umstrittene britische NGO, auch bekannt als "Syrischer Zivilschutz", sogar mit einem Hollywood-Oscar ausgezeichnet, obwohl der Organisation Verbindungen zu Terroristen nachgesagt werden.

Terrorbanden missachten Feuerpause und hindern Zivilisten am Verlassen der Kampfzone
Die jüngsten Behauptungen über die angebliche Beteiligung von Damaskus an einem weiteren chemischen Angriff auf Zivilisten fallen mit der Verabschiedung einer Resolution des UN-Sicherheitsrates zusammen, mit der Syrien ein 30-tägiger Waffenstillstand auferlegt wurde, der nicht für Mitglieder des "Islamischen Staates" oder der al-Kaida-nahen al-Nusra-Front gilt. Nach langen und hitzigen Debatten bei den Vereinten Nationen, in denen Russland darauf bestand, den Text der Resolution zu ändern, damit Damaskus nicht als einzige Partei für die Gewalt verantwortlich gemacht wird, wurde die Resolution am Samstag einstimmig angenommen.
Allerdings haben die Militanten in Ost-Ghuta die humanitäre Pause völlig außer Acht gelassen, indem sie ihre Kommandostruktur vereinheitlicht haben, die lokale Bevölkerung weiterhin belästigen und Damaskus zu beschießen.
Die Situation verschlechtert sich weiter in Ost-Ghuta, wo Dschaisch al-Islam, Dschabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Scham, Failak al-Rahman und die Fadschr al-Ummah Brigade ein einheitliches Koordinationszentrum eingerichtet haben", sagte Generalmajor Jewtuschenko.
Das russische Versöhnungszentrum stellte fest, dass die militanten Gruppen die Bereitstellung humanitärer Hilfe für Ost-Ghuta behindern und Zivilisten daran hindern, den Vorort zu verlassen, in dem sie im Grunde genommen Hunderte von Menschen, darunter Frauen und Kinder, als Geiseln halten.
Trotz der Äußerungen von Dschaisch Al-Islam über eine Aussöhnung setzt sich der Mörserbeschuss auf Damaskus aus Ost-Ghuta fort, das von den Formationen dieser Gruppe kontrolliert wird", sagte der russische Militärsprecher und bemerkte, dass in den letzten 24 Stunden mindestens 31 Granaten aus der Region in die Wohnviertel von Damaskus abgefeuert wurden.
Zusätzlich zu den weit verbreiteten Schäden, die diese Anschläge verursacht haben, wurden mindestens 13 Zivilisten und ein syrischer Soldat verletzt.
Die militanten Formationen versuchten auch, einen Autobombenanschlag in der Nähe der Stadt Qaboun, einem Vorort von Damaskus, durchzuführen. Der Versuch wurde jedoch von syrischen Streitkräften vereitelt. Nach Angaben des russischen Militärs kam das mit Sprengstoff beladene Fahrzeug aus den Gebieten, die von Failak-Ar-Rahman- und al-Nusra-Kämpfern kontrolliert werden.
Westliche Länder ignorieren aggressives Vorgehen der Islamisten
Seit mehr als einer Woche führen die syrischen Regierungstruppen die Operation "Damaskus-Stahl" durch, um Ost-Ghuta von illegalen terroristischen Einheiten zu befreien, die die Einheimischen seit Jahren behelligen und die jegliche Initiativen zur Waffenabgabe und zum Verlassen des Gebiets beharrlich abgelehnt haben. Da die Spannungen in Ost-Ghuta trotz des vereinbarten Waffenstillstands weiterhin hoch sind, forderte das Russische Zentrum für Aussöhnung in Syrien die Konfliktparteien auf, "jegliche Kampfaktionen und bewaffneten Provokationen einzustellen".
Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Berichte über einen Chlorgasangriff aus der Enklave am Rande der syrischen Hauptstadt aufgetaucht sind. Frühere Vorfälle dieser Art hatten sich demnach angeblich bereits im Januar ereignet, kurz bevor sich verschiedene Fraktionen Syriens zum Nationalkongress im russischen Sotschi versammelten. Der damalige US-Außenminister nutzte die Berichte, um Russland für alle Vorfälle im Zusammenhang mit chemischen Waffen in Syrien verantwortlich zu machen, unabhängig davon, wer sie tatsächlich durchgeführt hat. Das russische Außenministerium kritisierte die Unterstellungen als "massiven Propagandaangriff", der die Bemühungen um eine friedliche Lösung in Syrien untergraben sollte.
Die USA haben wiederholt davor gewarnt, dass sie direktere Luftangriffe gegen syrische Streitkräfte durchführen könnten, wenn im Land chemische Waffen eingesetzt werden. Im April vergangenen Jahres ordnete Präsident Donald Trump als Reaktion auf einen mutmaßlichen chemischen Angriff in Idlib, den die USA ohne jeglichen Beweis dem syrischen Präsidenten Baschar al-Assad anhängten, Tomahawk-Raketenangriffe auf die Luftwaffenbasis Schayrat an. Auch der französische Präsident Emmanuel Macron versprach jüngst, Syrien "anzugreifen", falls sich herausstellen sollte, dass chemische Waffen gegen Zivilisten eingesetzt werden.
OPCW-Mechanismus hat sich als ineffektiv erwiesen
Auch Russland lenkte die Aufmerksamkeit der internationalen Gemeinschaft wiederholt auf Vorfälle im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz chemischer Waffen in Syrien. Moskau forderte immer wieder unabhängige und unparteiische Untersuchungen. Im vergangenen Monat schlug Moskau erneut einen Mechanismus vor, um den bestehenden Joint Investigative Mechanism (JIM) der Organisation für das Verbot chemischer Waffen (OPCW) zu ersetzen, deren Mandat im November auslief. Zuvor hatte man UN-Untersuchungen im Rahmen von JIM in Syrien durchgeführt. Nach Angaben russischer Diplomaten ist es dieser Einrichtung nicht gelungen, objektive Berichte über chemische Angriffe zu erstellen, darunter auch über den Vorfall im April in Chan Scheichun. Stattdessen hat Moskau vorgeschlagen, einen objektiven Ermittlungsmechanismus einzurichten, um alle Behauptungen über chemische Angriffe in Syrien zu untersuchen, die auf tadellosen und unwiderlegbaren Daten basieren - und nicht nur auf Indizien und Berichten von Oppositionskräften.

…which means “The Dawn” in Arabic. The long-shutter shot was taken some 15 minutes before the time for Fajr prayers actually began.
All the five obligatory Salahs (prayer) of a day are named after their particular part of the day – Fajr means dawn, Duhr means noon, ‘Asr means afternoon, Magrib means the west, referring to position of the sun when it sets, and ‘Isha means night. There are multiple Arabic words for all the mentioned parts of a day. But the mentioned five names bear the best references to the precise times when the prayers are supposed to be established.

Looking back on the months gone by,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Recalling all the happy times,
Remembering how they enriched our lives
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
And when I/we ponder those who do,
I/we immediately think of you.
Thanks for being one of the reasons I'll/We'll have a Happy New Year!

ঈদের প্রকৃত অর্থ :
শুধু দামী পোশাক, রঙ্গিন জামা, হরেক রকম সুস্বাদু খাবার আর নানা ধরণের আনন্দ-উৎসবের নাম ঈদ নয়। ঈদের উদ্দেশ্য কি তা আল্লাহ তা’আলা নিন্মোক্ত আয়াতের মাধ্যমে প্রকাশ করেছেন:
وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

•১) আল্লাহর বড়ত্ব মমত্ব ও শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব ঘোষণা করা।
•২) আল্লাহ যে নেয়ামত দান করেছেন তার জন্য আল্লাহর কৃতজ্ঞতা আদায় করা।

Highland Park is a city within the city limits of Detroit proper. In addition to being home to Henry Ford's first assembly plant (now defunct and abandoned), it is also home to a sizable, mostly African-American, Sunni Muslim community.
I was inducted into that community when my family converted to Sunni Islam when I was around 8-years-old.
Qasim was associated with the community in Highland Park. He is also the director of Mooz-Lem: The Movie - a locally-filmed movie that is still in development . It features Danny Glover, Nia Long and quite a few other impressively notable Hollywood cast members.
Its good to see a member of my old Ummah doing his thing. Neither of us could remember if we knew each other growing up. We do both know a young man named Kareem. I happened to bump into Kareem and Qasim a couple of weeks back and they were gracious enough to let me make a couple of frames of them (Kareem, you're next).
That said, I'm no longer a member of the Highland Park Islamic community. In fact, I've removed myself from the larger intellectual community of religious believers altogether.
I've always had a distrinct aversion to fanticiful thinking - no matter how reassuring and comforting. When I was in 1st grade, before my family converted to islam, a classmate opened a bag of chips, crushed them in his hand, turned toward me, started to wiggle his backside and sing an impromptu schoolyard nursery rhyme/taunt:
"I've got more! I've got more!..."
I remember calmly looking at him, shaking my head and saying,
"No you don't. They are just in smaller peices..."
He broke into tears and tried to fight me.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are facts.
Though I was devout through my high school years (at Highland Park High School, I'd stop in the middle of Mr. Wojinowski's Chem class to make the afternoon iteration of the 5 daily prayers required of Muslims), the religious explanations for how reality worked became exponentially less convincing with each passing year; and with each passing grade in biology, geology, and history.
The religious explanation simply did not accord with the facts. As much comfort, solace, and certitude my religious faith had provided me in trying circumstances, I found myself increasing unable to abide them.
Sorry, kiddo. But the facts are the facts.
By my second year of college I was more or less bereft of all superstitious belief.
I'm not sure what the tone of Qasim's finished movie will be. It's my understanding that the main character has a crisis of faith.
If nothing else, I hope that his movie will encourage people to take another look at their bag of potato chips.

If even one of us could have had the right to complain about what befell us, it was Prophet Mu'hammad (ﷺ), who was born an orphan, lost his mother while seven, struggled in abject poverty, endured countless traumatic attacks and murder attempts, lost his beloved and loyal wife at the time of dire need, and, the most unthinkable and unbearable of all for most of us – saw his children die – not one or two – six of them (that’s his every child except Fatimah Radwiyallahu 'anha!
If Allah ‘Azza wa Jal’s Messenger, who Allah Sub’hanu wa Ta’ala articulates as honoured and one of the most beloved and loyal servants, was set to fathom such a streak of extreme hardships and tragedies, what gives us the right to even think of considering ourselves undeserving of what befalls us? Who are we? How much have we seen?
May Allah sub’hana wa ta’ala "guide us to the straight path - the path of those upon whom He has bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked His anger or of those who are astray."

One of the cutest things observed in Makkah and Madinah would be the toddlers performing Tawaf on their parents’ arms and establishing Salat on their parents’ laps, the latter especially on the mums’ laps.
Particularly in Masjid al-Nabawi, where separate areas for men and women are strictly maintained, hearing babies crying during Salat from women’s side would be enough for you to realise how Allah sub’hana wa ta’ala has bestowed extraordinary levels of endurance and patience upon women, and how they are special in Islam. May Allah sub’hana wa ta’ala bless them.

Financially-challenged pop superstar Michael Jackson has converted to Islam, according to reports.
The Sun claims Jackson, 50, donned traditional Islamic garb while pledging allegiance to the Koran in a private ceremony in Los Angeles.
The singer was raised a Jehovah's Witness and biographers claim the contradiction between the sect's strict teachings and the sexual activities of Jackson's father and brothers while on tour contributed to his eccentric character and alleged paedophilic leanings.
It was reported music industry figures and Muslim converts David Wharnsby and Phillip Bubal guided Jackson through his conversion, for which he chose the Islamic name Mikaeel.
1970s pop star Cat Stevens — now known as Yousef Islam — joined the celebrations after the ceremony.
The Sun also claims Jackson now prays in a chapel in the home Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro, who composed music on the singer's top-selling Thriller album.
The reported conversion comes ahead of Jackson's court appearance next week in an $11 million lawsuit brought by Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif of Bahrain.
The sheik claims he backed the singer in anticipation of a recording contract that was never fulfilled.
Jackson was recently forced to sell his extensive California estate Neverland to pay some of his debts.

The Five Pillars to Becoming a Practicing Muslim
[edit] Shahadah
Main article: Shahadah
Shahadah is professing oneness of Allah and accepting Prophet Muhammad as his messenger to humanity. And saying: I testify that there is only one god Allah and that Muhammad (PBUH) is his messenger: but you must say that in Arabic.
"God is the only God, and Muhammad is his messenger"
[edit] Salat
Main article: Salat
Salat is compulsory but some flexibility in the specifics is allowed depending on the circumstances.[3] For example, in the case of sickness or a lack of space, a worshipper can offer salat while sitting, or even lying down, appropriate number of units (raka'ah). While the prayers may be made at any point within the waqt, it is considered best to beggin them as soon as possible after the call to prayer is heard.[4]
The prayers are essentially expressions of adoration of God, but the worshipper may add his own personal request.[5] The most commonly repeated prayer is the short first Sura, or Section of the Qu'ran, beginning, 'Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation, the compassionate, the merciful'. [6]
[edit] Zakaat
Main article: Zakaat
Zakaat or alms-giving, is the practice of charitable giving by Muslims based on accumulated wealth, and is obligatory for all who are able to do so. Usually it is 2.5% of the persons annual income.
[edit] Sawm (during month of Ramadan)
Main article: Siyam
Many Muslims traditionally break their fasts in Ramadan with dates (like those offered by this date seller in Kuwait City), as was the recorded practice (Sunnah) of Muhammad.Three types of fasting (Sawm) are recognized by the Qur'an: Ritual fasting,[2:183–187] fasting as compensation or repentance,[2:196] and ascetic fasting.[33:35][7]
Ritual fasting is an obligatory act during the month of Ramadan[8] Muslims must abstain from food, drink, and sexual intercourse from dawn to dusk during this month, and are to be especially mindful of other sins.[8] The fast is meant to allow Muslims to seek nearness to Allah, to express their gratitude to and dependence on him, to atone for their past sins, and to remind them of the needy.[9] During Ramadan, Muslims are also expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam by refraining from violence, anger, envy, greed, lust, harsh language, gossip and to try to get along with each other better than normal. In addition, all obscene and irreligious sights and sounds are to be avoided.[10]
Fasting during Ramadan is not obligatory, and even forbidden in some cases, for several groups for whom it would be dangerous or excessively problematic. These include pre-pubescent children, those with a medical condition such as diabetes, elderly people, and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Observing fasts is not permitted for menstruating women. Other individuals for whom it is considered acceptable not to fast are those who are ill or travelling. Missing fasts usually must be made up soon afterwards, although the exact requirements vary according to circumstance.[11][12][13][14]
Many Muslims break their fast with a date because it is claimed Muhammed broke his fast with a date.
[edit] Hajj
Main article: Hajj
The hajj to the Kaaba, in Mecca, is an important practice in Islam.The Hajj is a pilgrimage that occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah to the holy city of Mecca, and derives from an ancient Arab practice. Every able-bodied Muslim is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime if they can afford it.[15] When the pilgrim is around ten kilometers from Mecca, he must dress in Ihram clothing, which consists of two white sheets. Both men and women are required to make the pilgrimage to Mecca, as the Hajj is mandatory for both males and females. After a Muslim makes the trip to Mecca, he/she is known as a hajj/hajja( one who made the pilgrimage to Mecca).[16] The main rituals of the Hajj include walking seven times around the Kaaba, touching the Black Stone, traveling seven times between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah, and symbolically stoning the Devil in Mina.[16]
[edit] Shia viewpoint
Main articles: Practices of the Religion and Seven Pillars of Islam (Ismaili)
According to Shia Twelvers doctrine, what is referred to as pillars by Sunni Islam are called the practices or secondary principles (Firoo e Din). There are three additional practices. The first is jihad, which is also important to the Sunni, but not considered a pillar. The second is Amr-Bil-Ma'rūf, the "Enjoining to Do Good", which calls for every Muslim to live a virtuous life and to encourage others to do the same. The third is Nahi-Anil-Munkar, the "Exhortation to Desist from Evil", which tells Muslims to refrain from vice and from evil actions and to encourage others to do the same.[17]
Shi'a Ismaili Seven Pillars of Islam, including the Nizari, Druze, and Mustaali have three doctrines that are not included in the Sunni Five Pillars of Islam: Walayah, Taharah and Jihad. This would raise the total to eight, but the Bohra Ismailis do not include Shahadah, lowering it to seven. The Shahadah is a prominent part of other Ismaili traditions, with the added inclusion of " Alīyun Ameerul Mo'min wali Allah (علي ولي الله("Ali, the Master of Believers, is the representative of God")", at the end of the standard shahadah as recited by the rest of the Muslim Ummah. [18].
"Go to sleep my little baby cousin. Go to sleep, butterfly. Go to sleep my little darling sleep all through the night. You're my little butterfly so spread your wings, and fly tonight. I'll come too, just take my hand. And we'll go to that special land. Where butterflies are free no a hurt like in the world. Where there's no pain and no crying. There's no drugs, jail or death everyone is flying. Where everything is right there is no wrong. Where everything is the only noise of a song. Just close your eyes and you'll be there. Just promise me, baby you'll come back here. So dream away, my little sweet cousin princess"

Eid Mubarak to all muslim ummah from bottom of my heart.
Love u all......may you all enjoy the maximum on Eid day.
Please do not forget those who are suffering to the worst flood ever in the history of Pakistan.
Like a roaring river circling around a stone, Kaaba is surrounded by a crowd of highly excited people. It is like a sun in the center while the people are like stars traveling in their orbit of the solar system. Centrally positioned, the people move around it in a circular pattern. Kaaba symbolizes the constancy and eternity of Allah. The moving circle represents the continuous activity and transition of His creatures.
CONSTANCY + MOVEMENT + DISCIPLINE
=
CIRCUMAMBULATING
This is an equation of the whole world. It is an example of a system based on the idea of monotheism which encompasses the orientation of a particle (man). Allah is the center of existence; He is the focus of this ephemeral world. In contrast, you are a moving particle changing your position from what you are to what you ought to be. Yet in all positions and during all times, maintain a constant distance with "Kaaba" or with Allah! The distance depends upon the path that you have chosen in this system.
You do not touch Kaaba nor do your stop there. Everyone encircles Kaaba collectively. The movement is as one unit, one group of people. There is no individual identification, that is, as being a man or woman, nor black or white! It is the transformation of one person into the totality of a "people". All of the "I's" join and become a "We", establishing the "Umma" with the aim of approaching Allah.
Allah's way is the way of the people. In other words, to approach Allah you must first approach people. How is this done? To achieve righteousness you should genuinely become involved in the problems of people, not as a monk who isolates himself in a monastery but by becoming actively involved in the "field". This includes practicing generosity, devotion, and self-denial, suffering in captivity and exile, enduring torture pains and facing various types of danger. This is how you are with the people and where you may approach Allah. The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Every religion has its monastic way of life. In Islam, it is JIHAD.
During Tawaf (circumambulating) you cannot enter the Kaaba nor stop anywhere around it. You must enter into and disappear from the crowd. You must be drawn into the roaring river of people who are circumambulating. This is how you will become a Hajj. This is the collective invitation to whoever wants to come to this house. What can be seen? Kaaba is steadfast in the center while the white, roaring river goes around it. Everyone is dressed in one color and pattern. There is no distinction nor personal promotion; true totality and universality is demonstrated........
......If you remain in the state of self-centeredness, you are not really a part of the Tawaf circle. You will be like a visitor standing at the bank of a river, but not in it. Those who are detached from themselves are alive and moving collectively. Those who are not separated from themselves are stagnant and dead. They are like wandering particles in the air of its systemic orbit. Furthermore, at Kaaba you are taught to prove yourself, to demonstrate your existence and to become eternal. You must reject self-centeredness.
By exercising generosity, kindness to others, and devotion to the community (ummah), you will attain self-discovery and envision the reality. When you give up your life in the way of Allah, in your warm blood you will approach Shahadat' and be called a Shaheed. Shahadat is being present, alive, palpable and visible. A Shaheed is an everlasting witness and visitor; he exemplifies an "eternal living".
(Dr. Ali Shariati)
