One thousand Gazan dead,another three thousand born.

(March 08, 2009)

The signs of Allah’s greatness keep on occurring. During the recent Israeli attack that had killed 1500 Palestinians, Allah made 3700 babies appeared. “If they killed a thousand of us, then we will bring on thousands more as their replacements,” thus a mother in Gaza said.

In contrast to the mentality of the Zionist-Jews forces who are known to be afraid of death, giving birth is a part of Jihad for the Gazan citizens. Due to that, death is not a thing that they cry over.

If there are phrases that say, “One gone, a thousand emerged,” then in Gaza what happened was “One thousand Gazan gone, three thousands more appeared”. The sorrow of the Gazan citizens over the death of 1412 sons and daughters of Gaza, was straight away soothed by Allah SWT with the birth of 3700 babies. Interestingly, they were all born within the 22 days of Israeli attacks on this small city.

Hamam Nisman, the Director of the Social Communication Service in the Health Ministry of the Gazan government said that in 22 days of Israeli attack, a total of 3700 babies were born in Gaza.

“3700 babies have been born between the 27th December 2008 and 17th January 2009 when Israel launched assaults that had caused the death of 1412 Gazan citizens, in which the majority of them are made up of women and children,” he said.

In January alone, the number of birth is the highest ever being registered compared to the other months preceding it. “50 thousands cases of birth are recorded every year in Gaza, and in each month around 3000 to 4000 births are recorded. However during the 22 days of Israeli attacks, we recorded 3700 number of births and for the rest of January, 1300 number of births were recorded. This means that there was an increase in the number of births in the month of January till it reached 1000 cases,” he said as cited by islamonline.net.

“This is a ‘karomah’ for the people of Gaza, who had lost a lot of souls,” he expressed full of happiness.
According to him, if the numbers of death and birth in Gaza are compared , then the number of birth reaches 50 thousands whereas the number of death reaches 5 thousands every year.

“Israel is deliberately killing the women and children in order to destroy the future of Gaza, 440 children and 110 women had been killed and 2000 children as well as 1000 women were wounded,” he revealed.

“The New Anwar” Sent Down From Heaven

Anwar, is the name of a Gazan new-born baby from the family of Mahmud Ulyan. It was also the name of his blood brother who had been Shaheed earlier. “They had killed Anwar, and heaven is now sending down the new Anwar”

The Al Yarmuk street, west of Gaza city had lost 15 of its residents during the Israeli attacks. However they now have received 30 newborn babies, born during that period.

It seems that Israel will keep on confronting the demographic problem of Palestine, where the number of birth in the country is increasing after the war occurred. Ummu Ahmad, the mother of 4 children affirmed the matter.

“By the wills of Allah, I will give birth to one child every year, we will keep on fighting them, if they kill a thousand of us, then we will bring on thousands others to replace them.”

The statistics showed that in the last 10 years, there was an increase in the number of population in Gaza, from 1 million it now becomes 1.5 millions. It means that the increase has reached 50%. If Gaza contributed 36% into the total population of Palestine in 1997, now the population of Gaza makes up 40 % of the overall population of Palestine.

It is estimated that by the year 2025 the citizens of Palestine would reach 6 millions. It is this growth that worries Israel. Urnun Suvir, a lecturer at the University of Haifa wrote in his latest book, that the increase in the number of Palestinian population would threaten the strategy of Israel and endanger the existence of “Israeli State”.

Israel can anytime make their plan, however the fact is that the plan of Allah is far more formidable and greater.

Qur’aan Tafsir of the ayat 267 of Surah Al Baqarah:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَن تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ

O You who believe! spend of the good things which You have (legally) earned, and of that which we have produced from the earth for you, and do not aim at that which is bad to spend from it, (though) You would not Accept it save if You close Your eyes and tolerate therein. and know that Allâh is rich (Free of All wants), and Worthy of All praise.

Sayid Qutub says;

“By giving away what one dearly loves to retain, one in fact is earning; and the more one gives, the more one gains without any limitation, as Allah’s grace never runs out.”

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

Asalaamualaykum wr wb

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam and Humanity,

As we witness the new Islamic year of 1430 Hijrah begin, we also witness the agression and inhumane acts by the Israelis against the Palestinians who have been unjustly killed and injured.

As the devastating bombardment on the people of Gaza reaches it’s fourth day, over 350 innocent people have been killed and hundreds more injured, yet the leaders of the world remain silent.

The rightful owners of the land, the Palestinians have done nothing except defend for the right to live freely as they have for centuries, alongside Jews and Christians. Their lands, homes, freedom, rights and lives have been taken over many years of oppression and occupation by the Israelis.

Make Du’aa, Indeed Du’aa is the Weapon of the Believer

The Prophet Muhammad (s) adviced us: “Believers are like a structure, parts of which support one another. The believers, in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

WHERE IS OUR FEVER?

We are all aware of the current events, I ask you, please raise your hands to your Lord, make sincere duaa for them from your heart, and for the whole Ummah – to keep our hearts steadfast upon Islam.

In times of trial, how often is it that we forget to turn to Allah in sincere and constant du’a? We remind each other of making du’a – true – but in reality, how consistent are we in praying for justice and praying for the tools we need to be victorious? The more we focus in our du’a, the more determined and focused we shall be in driving towards victory. (Muhammad Al Shareef)

Best times to make du’aa - don’t waste the opportunities, be smart in your ‘Ibadah.

May Allah swt alleviate the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Gaza and across the world and end the aggression and oppression of the dhalimun.

Great article - These days, as we read about the tragedy occuring in Gaza, the question on our minds is: What can WE do about it? How can WE help our brothers and sisters in Palestine?

Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?’” (Al-Bukhari)

Contact your Local MP (via phone, letter, email)

If you live in the UK, you can search for your Local MP here – http://www.writetothem.com

It will take less than two minutes – contact your MP that this is a matter of emergency.  Show your dismay and disappointment at the Government’s refusal to condemn the assaults on Gaza and its refusal to demand an immediate stop to all military activity. Ask your MP why Israel’s bombings of mosques, UN schools and university buildings in Gaza have gone uncriticised.

You can use the following sample letter – right click and select save as.

MPs do work for you, so get writing and insist on your MP seeking clear answers on your behalf from the Foreign Secretary to questions such as these:

(a) Why has the UK not clearly condemned the savage bombardment of Gaza by the Israelis?

(b) Does the UK Government accept that the Israeli action is barbaric and a crime against humanity?

(c) How does the UK Government think it will be able to legitimately defend its position as a member of the Quartet brokering peace in the Middle East when it fails to condemn the actions of a state which threatens beyond all doubt prospects for a lasting peace?

(d) Does not the Government’s refusal to condemn the Israelis insinuate complicity in the latter’s attempt to rout a democratically elected government and seek peace on its term and its terms alone? Is this the Government’s idea of a lasting peace in Palestine?

(e) The Government failed in summer 2006 to call for a ceasefire while the Israelis bombed Lebanon repeatedly destroying much of the country’s infrastructure. Refuse to allow it to sit back and do nothing once again.

(f) Does the UK Government not accept that its refusal to condemn the Israelis renders hollow all its protestations on its commitment to peace in the Middle East and its PREVENT agenda, on tackling the causes of radicalization in the UK?

Demonstrate & Protest

Demonstrate against the outrageous conduct of the Israelis. Much of what Israel seeks to do is to compel others to accept that it is the victim in this war. Demonstrate against its lies and deception and show your solidarity with the true victims of Israeli attacks. The Stop the War Coalition are organizing demonstrations all this week in the UK, check the website, www.stopwar.org.uk for further details of these and other demonstrations across the UK.

Raise Your Voice and Your Pen

What is happening in Gaza is all over the news, on TV, on radio and on internet discussion forums. The Israeli Media Strategy document procured by ENGAGE shows clearly that dominating the news, controlling the dissemination of information and framing the war is as much a part of Israel’s assaults on Gaza as the raining down of missiles.

Don’t restrict your outrage and fulminating to shaking your fists at the television. Do something, contact details for major TV stations and Newspapers – speak out, write .. email…contribute your comments and views to what is going on.

(a) Is the news dominated by Israeli spokespeople? If so, why. There are two sides in this war and the views of both must be made available to us. How else are we to judge who is the victim and who the aggressor? Say no to Israeli spin and Israeli centred news coverage.

(b) Is the radio coverage unbalanced? What interviewees are invited to take part on news programmes on the Gaza assaults? How often do you hear Palestinian and Hamas representatives?

Blogs, Forum & Website Discussions

People always end up getting riled up the first week, and then distracted after it passes.  Create something that will not allow them to forget.  A simple website about ghaza, where they sign up their email account or phone number and they get concise daily updates in their email or phones, and information on events happening in their area, etc.

The internet is among the most popular forms of present day news consumption. Some internet blog sites are read by more people than some national newspapers. Capitalise on the trend of consuming news online and join in on discussion threads and post comments to blogs and news items that are discussing the events in Gaza.  Your comments will be read by a multitude. Don’t be swayed or alarmed by false or incendiary posts. Keep calm and write with clarity and conscience. Reject the lies and propaganda of the Israeli media and PR machine. Don’t allow Zionists to dominate and distort the public’s perception of what is taking place in Gaza.

Post this link on your website or blog.

In the Mosques

Go to your local mosque and ask them to formally write an urgent letter TODAY to your MP making the points above and demand a meeting with the MP. Ask your local mosque to begin collections for the Palestinians and to make the issue of Gaza the content of the Friday sermon. Ensure that your mosque uses its position in the local community to protest on the community’s behalf on what is taking place in Gaza.  While Muslims pray for the souls of those that have lost their lives in recent days, take steps to prevent the further loss of life. Make sure your mosque is actively involved in more than just being a place for prayer.

“I would really recommend for all Imams and Khateebs, to dedicate this upcoming Friday khutbah wisely to explain the situation in Gaza and give our brothers and sisters there the support they deserve. And until then, start their practice of Qunoot “du’a in Salat” on regular basis to keep this case alive in the minds and hearts of people.” [Yasir Birjas, 4.1.09]

Interfaith Initiatives

Ask your local mosque and community centres to seek out Christian and Jewish places of worship and centres in your local community and join together in initiatives to bring peace to Palestine. Muslims, Jews and Christians reside in the Palestinian Territories and all faith groups should be working together to denounce the murderous actions of the Zionists in Israel and work for interfaith harmony and social peace.

Online petitions

Create or sign online petitions to be presented to your MP and the Government demanding that they call for an immediate stop to all military activity by Israel. Urge all your friends to sign a petition and insist that your elected representatives heed the protests of their electorate.

British Banks and Charities working for the Palestinians

Write to Lloyds TSB and Barclays Bank anew and insist that the banks reverse their decisions on closing the bank accounts of Interpal and Ummah Welfare Trust. The work of these charities will be needed now more than ever. Insist that the banks re-open the charities’ accounts so that you might donate and contribute to the provision of emergency aid to the embattled Gazans.

Support those standing up for Justice

There are many individuals and organisations who are speaking out against this massacre. We need to support them, this really makes a difference – they will be no doubt be swamped by zionists condemning them so let’s show some support.

Examples:

1. Imran Ladak, Kettering Town Football Club shows his support for the plight of the Palestinians. Source

Send your vote of thanks to info@ketteringtownfc.co.uk & www.ketteringtownfc.co.uk

2. UK telecom firm severs ties with Israeli company due to Gaza attacks. Source

We applaud FreedomCall for standing up to the oppressive Zionist regime. Please email FreedomCall at cs@freedomcall.co.uk or call them on 0800 279 6050 to thank them for their action. We are sure Zionists will be emailing and calling in with hate messages. Please show your support and encouragement by your messages. We hope that more British businesses (including Muslim businesses) will follow suit and show true British values by boycotting Israel.

This is a reminder to fast the day of Arafah – this Sunday, Dec 7th 2008.

It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Alaah (sallahAllahu aleyhi wasalam) was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafah. He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” [Sahih Muslim]

May Allah accept from us and you our Righteous Actions, Ameen

“For those of you who wish to embark on the praiseworthy path of memorising Qur’aan, the path which all the scholars and students of knowledge had first taken,this project will insha’Allaah aim to fully translate a very useful (albeit small) book titled ‘Asbaab al-Mu’eena ‘alaa Hifdh al-Qur’aan’ written to ease the memorisation of Qur’aan, containing practical tips as well as verses and ahadeeth speaking of the virtues of hifdh and the huffaadh.” Sister Farhia Yahya has just finished this project of translating this book in English. It’s an excellent resource for anyone who is serious about memorizing the Qur’an and it’s now available to us in English!

A family burned in NY, mom died, 4 daughters severely burned due to a gas explosion a year ago, one lost three fingers, one lost her eye sight.

Many non-Muslims have been gratefully helping them, yet many Muslims in NY don’t know about their case.

Their mom was completely unrecognizable at the hospital. Before she died, she removed all of her gold (jewelry) and asked for it to be given to charity, because she knew her death was coming, subhanAllah. At the day when sister Lazeena visited them for Eid, the children, one by one sat on their father’s lap and repeated after him, making du’a for Allah to place their mother in Jannah and to reunite them all together there with her, Ameen.

Then Leena came home. SubhanAllah it was much more emotional seeing her because of her being blind. She walked into the living room, her arms stretched out feeling around. Her father told her she had guests and she was beaming. She felt around the livingroom hugging us, kissing us and giggling. No doubt she was the one who laughed and smiled the most out of all of them mashaAllah. However, it’s obvious she still needs time to get comfortable with her condition. Eating is very difficult for her to do on her own, she also seems to get really irritated and emotional whenever she’s playing with her sisters and they take something from her or even get up and leave without telling her. She starts wailing right away and throwing a tantrum. I can only imagine how she must feel. Remember she wasn’t born blind, she remembers the world of sight I’m sure, subhanAllah, and so now being trapped in a world of darkness will take her a lot of time to get used to, but overall she’s very happy mashaAllah.
