A feeling that we're building a case for ourselves in the next life.APhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677402428379408976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149697012699506092006-06-07T12:16:00.000-04:002006-06-07T12:16:00.000-04:00Good post Asmaa.Good post Asmaa.'liyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682312785305176809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149643854980354062006-06-06T21:30:00.000-04:002006-06-06T21:30:00.000-04:00:)They are indeed the strong ones.:)<BR/><BR/>They are indeed the strong ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149627770174270552006-06-06T17:02:00.000-04:002006-06-06T17:02:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comments everyone.

It made me realize that although we may feel alone at times like these, we aren't.<BR/><BR/>Faraz, the trials that Prophet Muhammad (saw) and his companions faced were surely far greater. Thanks for that perspective.<BR/><BR/>Anis, I know how you must feel and I assure you that you're not the only one. I find it difficult to believe they are guilty, too. And it's distressing to feel like you can't do anything. But, you know...dua, the weapon of the believer (copyright, Yasir Qadhi) :)<BR/><BR/>Olde woman, Ameen to your dua. I was also thinking of Mahmoud Jaballah and the other four men who've been in prison for years now under secret evidence. And the wife and young kids of one of them who live down the street from me...SubhanAllah, when I think of those men's families, this is their jihad. This is where they hold tightly to patience and will, InshaAllah, be rewarded immensely for it. And, Allah (swt) never burdens someone with more than he or she can bear - so think about it - these Muslims, they're the strong ones.Asmaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799829085959558569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149611955561856782006-06-06T12:39:00.000-04:002006-06-06T12:39:00.000-04:00Assalamu aleikum,May Allah help guide people to th...Assalamu aleikum,<BR/><BR/>May Allah help guide people to the truth, may Allah help dissipate the ignorance that causes so much pain and suffering, may Allah help these men; if they are the perpetrators of injustice then guide them back to the straight path, but if they defer they will be accountable in the sight of Allah, and Allah will judge accordingly; but if it is they that are at the brunt of injustice, then Allah please give them patience, make it easy on them, enable us to stand up for those who can no longer stand for themselves. Forgive us all, ameen.<BR/><BR/>But my mind wanders sadly to Mahmoud Jaballah.<BR/><BR/>And Asmaa, I've said it before and I'll say it again: no one can match the poetry in you. You were the person to say this - justly, balanced, and with the sincerity of Islam; the way it should be said.<BR/><BR/>Jazakillahu ahsana khair wa barakallahu feeki. <BR/><BR/>I truly, dearly love you for the sake of Allah.Stylus Virushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503880730232023185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149573430181693872006-06-06T01:57:00.000-04:002006-06-06T01:57:00.000-04:00ameen... fr:)ameen... fr:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149569075757685122006-06-06T00:44:00.000-04:002006-06-06T00:44:00.000-04:00Bismillahu captured my feelings exactly..im glad s...Bismillah<BR/><BR/>u captured my feelings exactly..im glad some1 blogged about it..feels like i can relate now..Alot of muslims have just become so prone to a situation like this..so numb..so used to ..that its hard to get a reaction out of them..<BR/><BR/>jazakAllah khair for sharing the pain, the hope, the determination.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149568948751249462006-06-06T00:42:00.000-04:002006-06-06T00:42:00.000-04:00You've said the half that I couldn't put into word...You've said the half that I couldn't put into words.

Five of my really good friends are behind bars. To me this looks like a big f**kup. (Pardon me for using that couldn't come up with a better term). <BR/><BR/>I know them very well. They wouldn't hurt a fly. And above all: they know haram and halal very well. One of them is a friend of mine from grade 10. Another one from grade 11. And I prayed dhuhr everyday with another one. I just hope Allah SWT grants them and their families patience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12427312.post-1149564143456486892006-06-05T23:22:00.000-04:002006-06-05T23:22:00.000-04:00Asmaa, mashaAllah that was beautiful!

Right now, we must learn to put our trust in Allah, and stick to the principles of patience taught by Rasulullah SAW. I keep my hopes up by reminding myself that the Makkan period for the early Muslims was far worse than any antagonism we face today.<BR/><BR/><I>"Do men think they will be left alone on saying, 'We believe', and that they will not be tested?"</I> (29:2)Frazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611431995183800220noreply@blogger.com
