Shah Alam Lake Gardens

Shah Alam may be a busy, urban city, there is still a place for people to relax, and that place would be the Shah Alam Lake Gardens.

With a manmade lake in the Shah Alam Lake Gardens, surrounded by vast, landscaped gardens, it is the perfect place to hold events such as the International Boat Show and the Selangor Orchid Exhibition.

If you're hungry, you can always head out to the floating seafood restaurant, and for other recreations head out to Wet World water theme park in this area. Don't forget to stop by at Laman Budaya culture centre as well.

Shah Alam Stadium

Within the central component of the Shah Alam Sports Complex is the Shah Alam Stadium. Since the official lauch on July 16 1994, the stadium has successfully played host to many events that includes both international and local sports events, tournaments, concerts and more.

The entire stadium spans an area of 155,000 square meter, with a massive 6 level semi-enclosed space with a total amount of 69,372 seats and additional 11,000 standing.

The stadium is the homeground for the Selangor soccer team and the venue for most FAM-organised matches. The stadium played host to the World Youth Championship matches in 1997.

Chongkak River Recreational Forest /
Sungai Chongkak Recreational Forest

Located in Hulu Langat, is the Chongkak River Recreational Forest. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the forest from Kuala Lumpur.

It's worth the long journey though, as visitors will get to explore the wide and vast, beautiful forest, home to many habitats. Looking at the clean, clear waters of Chongkak River, which flows directly from Nuang Mountain, is mesmerizing.

State Mosque

Surrounded by the beautiful Shah Alam Lake Gardens, The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, one of Shah Alam's most famous figure, is one of the symbols highlighting supremacy of the Islam and Muslim sovereignity in Malaysia.

It is also the largest mosque in Malaysia and one of the largest in South East Asia. It was completed in 1988 and officially opened on the 11th of March of the same year.With its large blue and white dome, it is actually one of the biggest dome in the world.

The Sultan, representing the religious head in Selangor, followed the sunnah(tradition) practised by the Prophet Muhammad and initiated the construction of this historic building.

After Shah Alam was declared the capital state of Selangor ( Kuala Lumpur became the Federal Territory of Selangor instead) in 1974, the idea to build a mosque to represent Shah Alam sparked. The Sultan wanted the mosque to have a traditional identity. The location has to be right as well, as it needs to be at a quiet and serence place.

Thus, it is usually the children of the lower primary school age and below who sit out whilst the bigger kids have all the fun.

Fenced in and set apart from the rest of the park, it is a very safe establishment and the kids can have a really peaceful time playing whatever suits their fancy.

Designed to resemble a humble African village in the middle of nowhere, a number of creative techniques have been employed by the experts to ensure that there are enough things in this little playpen to keep the kids busy for hours to come. A selection of water guns and tip buckets line the posts along with some slides. A very large tip bucket at the top of the architecture showers torrents of water down on laughing children like a mini waterfall, whilst a mother hippopotamus and her baby wade in the knee-high pool to accompany them. A lone Masai warrior stands intimidating by the entrance as if to safeguard the children whilst they have fun.

"It's an adventure t' remember, and t' first 100 brave souls t' survive t' ride will walk away with a certificate t' prove it."

"So get down smartly t' Sunway Lagoon today."

2009-07-12T22:46:00.001+08:00

May ALLAH(swt) bless all of us with the wealth of Hidayat, Iman, Namaz, Zikr, Character and all the good things which is shown in the great book Al-Quran. Above all, may ALLAH (swt) bless our hearts with the true love and respect towards HIM and his messenger PROPHET MOHAMMED (PBUH).

Our Intention for starting this page is to bring the saying of Al-Quran and Haddih of PROPHET MOHAMMED (PBUH) to the notice of all the muslim users of facebook, so that they can start implementing the same in their daily life. May ALLAH (swt) succeed me in doing so, who knows if even one person reads any Hadith or Quran verse and starts to following it, We will have the share of ajar(good deed). In the same way, we request you all to suggest this page to as many muslim brothers and sisters as you can, so that you can also have the share of the ajar (good deed) .

In this world, its very hard to stick to the righteous way and can easily go astray if we dont stick to Al-Quran and Hadith. So pray with us that ALLAH (swt) show us the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

Ameen.

Jazakallah!

Project "Salaah"

""Verily, I am Allaah. There is no god but I: So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular Salaah for My remembrance". {Sura Tá-há, ayah #14}."

This event is planned to start at 00:00 on 01 July 2009 at http://www.facebook.com/iloveallaah.

"Salah (Daily Ritual Prayer) (Project "Salaah")"

2009-07-12T22:42:00.001+08:00

1) "Salah (Daily Ritual Prayer) (Project "Salaah")"

Salat is something amazing in Islam and it is the way Muslims 'converse' with "Allah". Muslims make 'salat' (some people incorrectly call this 'prayer') every day, five times a day. Salat is a form of worship previously reserved only for prophets, but during the life of Muhammad, peace be upon him, Allah included any of the followers of the last prophet (Muhamad, peace be upon him) in this most distinguished and honorable group.

2) Quran Verse Of this Week: The Da'wah (invitation) to Allah is the duty of the Muslim Ummah. Every Muslim is charged with this mission, as Allah (s.w.t) says: "Let there arise out of you a group of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is Ma'rouf (right) and forbidding what is Munkar (wrong). And it is they who are the successful." [3:104].

3) Hadith Of this week: "Those who break Allahs Covenant after ratifying it, and sever what Allah has ordered to be joined (as regards Allahs Religion of Islamic Monotheism, and to practise its legal laws on the earth and also as regards keeping good relations with kith and kin ), and do mischief on earth, it is they who are the losers." [Surah Al-Baqara, Verse: 27]

Preparing For Death!

2009-05-16T23:39:00.002+08:00

Please read the full note. Its Really very important for us.

We receive a large number of eMails from all over the world and this one came in from a non-Muslim named S.W. He asks the question:

"Dear Sir:
I am trying to make a list of things to do before I die and would like some suggestions? Could you please comment as to what Islam says about death?"
Thank You, S. W."

Answer from Sheik Yusuf Estes,
US Federal Prison Chaplain (retired)

Allah the Almighty is All Wise and Is the Knower of All Things.

For those who are not familiar with the teachings of Islam, we should perhaps cover a few basics before attempting to answer this most honest and in depth question.

There is a small chapter at the end of the Holy Quran called "Al Asr" and it carries a very heavy meaning which can solve a lot of the problems with the dealings of life and death of the human being.
Let us consider the plus or minus translation into the English
language.

"By the passage of time*1, all of the humankind are in a state of
great loss*2, except for those who come to the correct belief*3 and
do the deeds of righteousness; and encourage and exhort one another
to Truth*4 and encourage and exhort one another to steadfast
patience."

1. Allah swears an oath of great consequence
2. Meaning "Hell" as a result of their dealings while on earth
3. Oneness of Allah (Tawheed or monotheism)
4. Here "Truth" means anything and everything pertaining to pure
montheism (see: Islam)
From the above quoted portion of the Quran and verses related to it,
the scholars of Islam have concluded the following:

A) All of us are born with a purpose to be fulfilled before
death – Worship of the One True God, Alone and on His terms and
conditions.
Note: Quran says: "Allah only created you all for the purpose of
worshipping Him."
B) All of us will die and be in the grave.
Note: Quran says: "Every soul shall taste death."
C) All of us (believers and non-believers) will be recreated
(resurrected) on the Day of Judgment.
Note: Quran says: "Surely from Allah you came and to Him is your
return."
And "Do they not think that they will be resurrected, on a Great
Day? The Day when all mankind will stand before the Lord of the
Worlds?"
D) Each person will receive his/her "Book of Record" (listing of
all their deeds).
Note: Quran says: "Nay! Truly, the Record of the wicked is a
Preserved Record."
And "Those who receive their books in their right hands will be
successful." and "Those who receive their books behind their backs
will be the losers."
E) Each person will be held accountable for what he/she has done.
Note: Quran says: "Every person will see any good they have done,
even an atom's weight. Every person will see any evil they have
done, even an atom's weight."
F) None will take away the sins or punishment for another.
Note: Quran says: "Allah does not burden a person beyond his
ability. He will be rewarded for that which he has earned, and
punished for that which he has earned."
G) None will make intercession with the Almighty except as He
Wills.
Note: Quran says: "Who is there that could come between Allah and
what He has created except that He give them permission?"
H) The final destination of Heaven or Hell will be made known then.
Note: Quran says: "Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)."
I) None will enter the Paradise except by the Mercy of Allah.
Note: Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "None shall enter
the Jennah (Paradise) except with the Mercy of Allah." When asked by
his companions: "Even you? O, prophet of Allah?" And He
replied: "Even me."
J) None will enter the Fire except those who have earned it.
Note: Quran says: "Therefore, I have warned you of a blazing Fire
(Hell). None shall enter it except the most wrected."

Death is like a journey to a land from which there is no return. So
before you die, be sure to pack three things to take along with you
on the journey:

1) Proper identification - I.D.
2) Enough nourishment to last for Eternity
3) Sufficient Garments or Coverings

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
-----------

1) Proper I.D.: [Book of Record of a Person's Life]

This covers two very important categories:

Faith (belief)
Actions (deeds)

They must both be correct to insure an easy transition into the Next
Life and a proper place in the Paradise in the Hereafter.

Let us begin with the Covenant of faith with the ONE TRUE GOD & Acts
of worship to Him Alone without partners. This means anyone who
comes to the understanding: "There is only One True God who is the
only Creator, Sustainer and God of all that exists."
This can be understood as "Oneness" or "Tawhid of Islam."
It might be better understood by breaking it down into the following
three categories:

1) "Oneness" of Lordship [Tawhid Al Ulu hiyah]

2) "Oneness" of Worship [Tawhid Al Rubbu biyah]

3) "Oneness" of Characteristics [Tawhid Al Asma was Siffat)

Correct Beliefs

Three (3) Things Asked at Death:
Question
Only Acceptable Answer
1. Who is your Lord? [Allah]

2. What is your religion? [Islam]

3. Who is your prophet? [Muhammad (PBUH)]

Immediately you will find those who will argue that this is not
fair. After all, Muhammad, peace be upon him, was sent by Allah with
the message of Islam only 1,400 years ago. So, what about all those
who lived before him? And what of those who came afterwards and
never heard of Allah, Islam and Muhammad, peace be upon him?

And the answer is quite simple. Islam is the only true religion
brought by all of the prophets of Almighty God [Allah]. They all
preached a message of total surrender to the One and Only True God
of the Universe. If the person lived the life of "Surrender,
Submission and Obedience to the Almighty, in Sincerity and Peace";
then they in fact, lived as a true Muslim without ever knowing the
Arabic terms.

This means that all of the followers of all of the prophets of
Almighty God from Adam to Moses to Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon
them all, will find that they will be supplied the correct answers
to these questions when asked.

After the angel of death removes the soul from the body, the angels
will carry the soul of the one who has died up to the heavens and
when they come to Allah the Most High, He will reject any who are
not in possession of the correct answers [mentioned above]. After
the questioning the person will be then reunited with his or her own
dead body and spend the remainder of time waiting for the Day of
Judgment.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -
-----------

2) Nourishment: [Proper Deeds]

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught his followers:
"He is not a believer who goes to sleep at night with a full stomach
while his neighbor's remains empty."
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:

"Charity is a necessity for every Muslim."
He was asked: "What if a person has nothing?"
The Prophet replied: "He should work with his own hands for his
benefit and then give something out of such earnings in charity."
The Companions of the Prophet asked: "What if he is not able to
work?"
The Prophet said: "He should help the poor and needy."
The Companions further asked: "What if he cannot do even that?"
The Prophet said: "He should urge others to do good."
The Companions said: "What if he lacks that also?"
The Prophet said: "He should check himself from doing evil. That is
also an act of charity."

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Your body has 360 joins
and each of them requires an act of charity every day." And, "Even
meeting your brother with a cheerful face is an act of charity."

Acts of charity and kindness only for the sake of the Almighty.
These good deeds will accompany the person throughout his or her
life in the grave until the Day of Judgment. On the Day of Judgment
they will all see their deeds clearly.

There are two angels who record all the actions and deeds of the
individual from birth until death. The angel on the right records
all of the good deeds while the angel on the left records all of the
bad ones.

As soon as the person intends to do a good thing, a good deed is
recorded for him/her.

After doing the good deed, ten full good deeds are recorded for
the person (or 70 or 700 or as much as Allah Wills).

If a person encourages others to do a good deed, then a matching
reward is recorded for the one calling to the good deed.

Another angel on the left, records all of the bad and evil deeds of
the person as follows:

If the person intends to do a bad deed, but stops himself from it
because he/she knows it is wrong, then a full good deed is recorded
for them.

If the person intends an evil or bad deed but does not have the
chance to commit it, then nothing is recorded either way.

If the person commits a bad deed, the angel on the left begins to
record a bad deed in his/her "Book of Records", but the angel on the
right stops him and asks him to wait to see if the person might
repent. After a while the angel on the left again begins to record
the bad deed but again the angel on the right stops him with the
same pleading. This continues for a while and if the person refuses
to seek the forgiveness of The Almighty, then one full bad deed is
recorded to his/her account.

At anytime that a person should commit a bad deed, he/she should
immediately seek forgiveness from the Almighty and follow up the bad
deed with a good one.

Additionally, when a person performs the obligatory prayers on time
in accordance with the teachings of Islam, all the sins from the
most recent prayer are forgiven.

When a person attends the Friday prayers according to the teachings
of Islam, he/she is forgiven for all of the sins for the previous
week since the last Friday service.

When a person makes the obligatory pilgrimage to Mecca during the
month of Thurl Hijah on the Islamic calendar, all the sins since
birth are forgiven and the record is wiped clean for a fresh start.
All previous good deeds remain in place.

In the case of the one who comes to Islam from some other faith
group, all of his/her sins are forgiven and wiped clean and all of
the previous ones are held in place. The person is as pure and
innocent as a new-born baby but with the exception that all of the
deeds previously committed whether bad or good are all purified to
become mountains of good deeds for the new comer to Islam.
3) Garments: [Morals and Behavior]

He is not a believer who goes to sleep at night with a full stomach
while his neighbor's remains empty
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that Allah said:

"I declare war against the one who is hostile to My worshipping
servant. My worshipper does not come closer to Me with anything more
beloved to me than by doing what I have ordered him to do. My
servant keeps coming closer to Me by performing extra acts of
worship until I love him. Then I become his hearing; his sight; his
grip; his step and if he asks anything of me, I will grant it, and
if he seeks My Protection, I will protect him. And I do not dislike
anything more than taking his soul, for he dislikes to die and I
dislike to disappoint him."
- (Narrated by Abu Huraira in Bukhari)

Forgiveness, Honesty, Respect & Fairness in dealings with others is
the best covering. Teachings of Islam regarding the best of morals
and behavior are vast and numerous in number. We will list only a
few:

Let the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day either say good
things or remain silent.
The tongue is one of many endowments Allah bestowed upon His
slaves. The person who uses the tongue to comply with the orders of
Allah, the teachings of the Qur'an, and the teachings of the Prophet
may earn blessings in this world and the in Hereafter. However, the
one who uses his tongue in disobedience does not display
thankfulness to Allah and leads to his own destruction.
Certainly, being thankful to Allah means not using the endowments
bestowed by Allah in what is forbidden.

"Whoever is a liar - is not from among us."
It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdur-Rahman b. Abu Bakra that
his father said: We were in the company of the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) that he observed: Should I not inform you
about the most grievous of the grave sins? (The Holy Prophet)
repeated it three times, and then said: Associating anyone with
Allah, disobedience to parents, false testimony or false utterance.
The Holy Prophet was reclining, then he sat up, and he repeated it
so many times that we wished that he should become silent.(Bukhari)

Your body has rights on you, so give your body its rights.
Together with a group of friends, his mother had gone inside this
ancient House of God to inspect it. On that particular day it was
open because of a festive occasion. She was pregnant and labor pains
suddenly gripped her. She was unable to leave the Kabah. A leather
mat was brought to her and she gave birth on it. History has
recorded that he is the only person who was born inside the Kabah
itself, Hakim ibn Hazm.

"Whoever says; "There is none to worship but Allah" (sincerely), he
will enter Paradise."
On the authority of Anas, who said:
I heard the messenger of Allah say:
Allah the Almighty has said: "O son of Adam, so long as you call
upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the
clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I
would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins
nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing
no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as
its."
[related by Al-Tirmithi, who said that it was a good and sound
Hadith].

"Allah will not even look at the one (on the Day of Judgment) who
does not honor his parents."
"Your Sustainer has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that
you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age
in your lifetime, do not say to them a word of contempt nor repel
them, but address them in terms of honor. And, out of kindness,
lower to them the wing of humility and say: My Sustainer! Bestow on
them Your mercy, even as they cherished me in childhood." (17:23-24)

"The best of you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it."
The Prophet said, "The example of him (a believer) who recites the
Qur'an is like that of a citron which tastes good and smells good.
And he (a believer) who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date
which is good in taste but has no smell. And the example of a
dissolute wicked person who recites the Qur'an is like the Raihana
(sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter. And the example
of a dissolute wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like
the colocynth which tastes bitter and has no smell." [Sahih Bukhari]

"The life of this world is a prison to a believer, and a paradise
for the disbelievers. "
Qiyam al-Layl
It is described as an act of worship that connects the heart to
Allah, may He be exalted, and enables it to overcome the temptations
of life and to strive against one's own self, at the time when
sleepers are tossing and turning in their beds. It is one of the
measures of sincere determination. It was a habit of the Prophet
(peace be upon him) and therefore a habit of his companions. It is
the act of praying at night.

Oh yes! -
Don't leave behind a mess - leave behind a Will! One important note:
Even if a person has no bad deeds at all and he or she has mountains
of good deeds it will still not be enough to gain entrance into the
Paradise of the Almighty.

Why? Because of the saying of the prophet, peace be upon him:
"None shall enter the Jennah (Paradise) except with the Mercy of
Allah." When asked by his companions: "Even you? O, prophet of
Allah?" And He replied: "Even me." [mentioned above]

Don't Die Without IT
And finally and most important of all regarding the death of anyone,
Allah says in the Holy Quran:

"And do not die, except in complete submission to Almighty Allah
(Islam)."
[Holy Quran 3:102]

Greatness of Allah subhaanahu wa ta`aalaa

2009-04-28T00:58:00.000+08:00

Ibn Al-Qayyim described Allah's Greatness, saying,

He governs the affairs of the various kingdoms and He commands and forbids, creates, sustains, gives death, gives life, gives power, strips power (to and from whom He wills) and alternates the night and day. He gives varying fortunes to people and alternates governments (and states), destroying some and bringing some into existence. His Command and Power are dominant in the heavens and their zones, the earth and all that which is on and in it, in the seas and in the air. His Knowledge has encompassed everything and He counted everything. He hears all types of voices and they do not confuse Him. Rather, He hears each voice in its distinct language and need, and no voice will make Him busy from fulfilling the need of another, and no need will ever escape His Perfect Knowledge (and His Power to deliver).

He does not become bored because of the many needs of those who need. His Sight encompasses all that which there is. He sees the movement of a black ant on a barren rock during a dark night. To Him, the Unseen is uncovered end the secret is secret no more, "Whosoever is in the heavens and on Earth begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He has a matter to bring Forth (such as giving honor to some, disgrace to some, life to (some, death to some, etc.)." [55:29]

He forgives an evil deed, makes depression vanish and brings reprieve from disasters, relief for whoever needs it, wealth for the poor, guidance for the misguided, light for the lost, help for he who is desperate, fullness for the hungry, cover for the barely clothed, cure for the ill and ease for he who suffers. He accepts he who repents, gives reward for he who does good, gives aid for he who was dealt with injustice, destroys an arrogant person, covers mistakes, gives safety after fear end elevates some people and humiliates others. If those who inhabit His heavens and His earth and all those whom He created, whether mankind or the Jinns, had hearts similar to the most pious heart, His Kingdom will not increase. If all His creation, whether mankind or the Jinns, had hearts similar to the heart of the most wicked heart, this will not decrease from His Kingdom. Also, if all those who inhabit His heavens and His earth, all mankind and all the Jinns, the dead and the living, stand up on one strip of land and each asks Him for his need, and He then fulfils their needs, this will not decrease from what He has a bit.

He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Last, nothing is after Him, the Most High, nothing is above Him, and the Most Near, nothing is nearer than Him. He, Exalted and Ever High as He is, is the Best Whom one can and should remember, the only One Who deserves to be worshiped and thanked, the Kindest of all those who own and the Most generous of all those who are asked to give. He is the King Who has no partner, the One Who has no competitor, the Samad (Self-Sufficient) Who has no offspring, and the Ever High, none like unto Him. Everything perishes save His Face and every kingship is bound to perish except His. He will only be obeyed by His Leave, and His Knowledge uncovers all disobedience to Him. When He is obeyed, He thanks for it, and when He is disobeyed, He grants forgiveness (for those who truly repent to Him). Every punishment from Him is just and every bounty is a grace. He is the Closest Witness and the Nearest One with His Perfect Care. He controls the forelocks of everything and has the full records of all deeds end the books of all ages. The hearts are unmasked to Him and the secret is unveiled. His giving and punishing is merely a Command, "Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, ‘Be, and it is!’" [36:82].

6. An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The metaphor of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and affection is that of the body. When one limb of it (the body) complains, the rest of the body collapses with sleeplessness and fever." [Agreed upon]

9. Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "I memorised from the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH): 'Abandon anything that gives you doubt for what gives you no doubt. Truthfulness is peace of mind and lying is doubt." [At-Tirmidhi]

10. Abu Umama Sudayy ibn 'Ajlan al-Bahili said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), speaking in the Hajj of Farewell. He said, 'Fear Allah, pray your five prayers, fast your month (of Ramadhan), pay the Zakat on your property and obey your leaders and you will enter Jannah of your Lord." [at-Tirmidhi]

11. Jabir also reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "No Muslim plants something without what is eaten from it being sadaqa for him. Even what is stolen from it is sadaqa for him. And no one visits it without that being sadaqa for him." [Muslim]

16. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "It is better for one of you to take a rope and carry firewood on his back than for him to go to a man to beg from him who then gives to him or refuses to." [Agreed upon]

[al-Bukhari]

18. Abu Mas'ud 'Uqba ibn 'Amr al-Ansari al-Badri reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "Anyone who shows the way to something good has the same reward as the person who does it." [Muslim]

Anyone who calls people to misguidance, is attributed with wrong actions the same as those who follow it, without that decreasing their wrong actions in any way." [Muslim]

19. On the authority of Sahl bin Saad Al-Saedi, who said : A man came to the prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, direct me to an act which, if I do it, [will cause] Allah to love me and people to love me." He said: "Renounce the world (i.e. give-up or control your worldly desires) and Allah will love you; and renounce what people possess (i.e. keep off people’s property) and people will love you." [Ibn Majah]

20. Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him), reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The deeds are considered by the intentions, and a person will get the reward according to his intention (i.e. whether to please Allah or fellow men). So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Messenger, his emigration will be for Allah and His Messenger; and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his emigration would be for what he emigrated for".

Saidina Ali: Karamallahu wajhah atau radiallahu 'anhu?

2009-03-19T12:21:00.001+08:00

Menjawab satu persoalan yang ditujukan kepada saya di dalam blog ini berkenaan kenapa Saidina Ali digelar karamallahu wajhahu?

Secara ringkasnya;

1. Karamallahu wajhahu kita tidak masukkan dalam kategori gelaran. Sebaliknya ia adalah doa. Ia bermaksud ‘moga-moga Allah memuliakan wajahnya’. Ia sama seperti radiallahu anhu (moga-moga Allah meredhainya), sollallahu alaihi wassalam (moga-moga Allah mencurahkan doa selawat dan salam kesejahteraan ke atasnya), rahimahullah (moga-moga Allah merahmatinya).

Huraian tambahan bagi yang mempunyai asas-asas dalam Bahasa Arab;

fi’il madhi (kata kerja lepas) selain menunjukkan makna bahawa perbuatan tersebut telah berlaku, ia juga boleh digunakan untuk doa dan seruan. Untuk doa seperti contoh-contoh di atas. Untuk seruan contohnya seperti lafaz dalam iqamah ‘qad qamatissolah’ yang tidak boleh diterjemahkan ‘telah didirikan sembahyang’ kerana sembahyang belum bermula lagi. Lebih tepat diterjemahkan ‘marilah mendirikan sembahyang’.

Walau pun kedua-dua penggunaan ini tidak begitu popular dalam penggunaan fi’il madhi.

2. Doa-doa yang biasa kita ucapkan selepas menyebut nama Nabi Muhammad s.a.w., para Nabi yang lain dan para sahabat r.a. sebenarnya diambil oleh ulama’ silam dari al-Quran. Sebab itu ianya dari segi adabnya tidak ditukar-tukar dan ditambah-tambah kerana bagi ulama’ silam, doa yang Allah ucapkan kepada golongan itu adalah yang terbaik untuk digunakan.

- Nabi Muhammad; kita ucapkan doa sollallahu alaihi wassalam kerana Allah berfirman:

“Sesungguhnya Allah dan malaikatNya berselawat (memberi segala penghormatan dan kebaikan) kepada Nabi (Muhammad s.a.w). Wahai orang-orang yang beriman berselawatlah kamu kepadanya serta ucapkanlah salam sejahtera dengan penghormatan yang sepenuhnya.” (Al-Ahzab: 56)

- Para Nabi selain dari Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.; kita ucapkan alaihissalam merujuk kepada beberapa potong ayat al-Quran. Antaranya:

“Salam sejahtera kepada Nabi Nuh dalam kalangan penduduk seluruh alam.” (Soffat: 79)

“Salam sejahtera kepada Nabi Ibrahim.” (Soffat: 109)

“Salam sejahtera kepada Nabi Musa dan Nabi Harun.” (Soffat: 120)

“Salam sejahtera kepada Nabi Ilyas.” (Soffat: 130)

“Dan segala keselamatan serta kesejahteraan dilimpahkan kepadaku (nabi Isa) pada hari aku diperanakkan dan pada hari aku mati, serta pada hari aku dibangkitkan hidup semula (pada hari kiamat).” (Maryam: 33)

- Manakala para sahabat kita ucapkan radiallahu anhu merujuk kepada firman Allah:

“Dan orang-orang yang terdahulu - yang mula-mula (berhijrah dan memberi bantuan) dari orang-orang ‘Muhajirin’ dan ‘Ansar’, dan orang-orang yang menurut (jejak langkah) mereka dengan kebaikan (iman dan taat), Allah reda akan mereka dan mereka pula reda akan Dia, serta ia menyediakan untuk mereka syurga-syurga yang mengalir di bawahnya beberapa sungai, mereka kekal di dalamnya selama-lamanya; itulah kemenangan yang besar.” (At-Taubah: 100)

“Demi sesungguhnya! Allah reda akan orang-orang yang beriman, ketika mereka memberikan pengakuan taat setia kepadamu (Wahai Muhammad) di bawah naungan pohon (yang termaklum di Hudaibiyah); maka (dengan itu) ternyata apa yang sedia diketahuiNya tentang (kebenaran iman dan taat setia) yang ada dalam hati mereka, lalu ia menurunkan semangat tenang tenteram kepada mereka, dan membalas mereka dengan kemenangan yang dekat masa datangnya.” (Al-Fath: 18)

“Engkau tidak akan dapati sesuatu kaum yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat, tergamak berkasih-mesra dengan orang-orang yang menentang (perintah) Allah dan RasulNya, sekalipun orang-orang yang menentang itu ialah bapa-bapa mereka, atau anak-anak mereka, atau saudara-saudara mereka, ataupun keluarga mereka. mereka (yang setia) itu, Allah telah menetapkan iman dalam hati mereka, dan telah menguatkan mereka dengan semangat pertolongan daripadanya; dan dia akan memasukkan mereka ke dalam syurga yang mengalir di bawahnya beberapa sungai, mereka tetap kekal di dalamnya. Allah redha akan mereka dan mereka redha (serta bersyukur) akan nikmat pemberianNya. Merekalah penyokong-penyokong (agama) Allah. Ketahuilah! Sesungguhnya penyokong-penyokong (agama) Allah itu ialah orang-orang yang berjaya.” (Al-Mujadilah: 22)

3. Berbalik kepada persoalan asal; adakah karamallahu wajhah khas untuk Saidina Ali?

Ada beberapa pendapat di dalam masalah ini. Ada yang mengatakan gelaran tersebut khas untuk Saidina Ali r.a. kerana Saidina Ali r.a. tidak pernah menyembah berhala sepanjang hidupnya. Ada yang mengatakan kerana Saidina Ali r.a. tidak pernah melihat kemaluannya sepanjang hidupnya. Hujah ini nampak longgar kerana bukan Saidina Ali r.a. seorang sahaja yang mempunyai sejarah hidup demikian. Wallahu a’lam.

Ada pandangan yang mengatakan doa ini sengaja direka oleh golongan Syiah untuk melebihkan Saidina Ali r.a. dari para sahabat yang lain. Wallahu a’lam.

Pandangan saya;

Lebih afdhal untuk kita mendoakan mereka dengan lafaz-lafaz doa yang telah dipilih oleh ulama’ silam daripada al-Quran. Walau pun begitu tidak salah mendoakan Saidina Ali dengan doa karamallahu wajhah asalnya ia bukan untuk tujuan mengagongkan Saidina Ali r.a. melebihi kadar yang dibenarkan oleh syarak.

Wallahu a’lam.

A Story Worth Reading

2009-03-08T19:49:00.000+08:00

Since last night my young son has been unwell. When I got back from Work this evening I decided to take him to hospital despite my exhaustion.

There were many waiting; perhaps we will be delayed by more than an hour. I took my number and sat down in the waiting room. There were many faces, young and old, but all silent. Some brothers made use of the many booklets available in the waiting room.

Some of those waiting had their eyes closed, while others were looking around. Most were bored. Once in a while the long silence was broken by a nurse calling out a number. Happiness appears on the one whose turn it is, and he gets up quickly; then silence returns.

A young man grabbed my attention. He was reading a pocket-sized Qur`an continuously; not raising his head even once. At first I did not think much about him. However, after one hour of waiting my casual glances turned into a deep reflection about his lifestyle and how he utilizes his time. One hour of life wasted! Instead of making benefit of that hour, it was just a boring wait. Then the call for prayer was made. We went to prayer in the hospital's Masjid. I tried to pray close to the man who was reading the Qur'an earlier in the waiting room.

After the prayer I walked with him. I informed him of how impressed I was of him and how he tries to benefit from his time. He told me that most of our time is wasted without any benefit. These are days that go from our lives without being conscious of them or regretting their waste. He said that he started carrying the pocket-sized Qur`an around when a friend encouraged him to make full use of his time. He told me that in the time other people waste he gets to read much more of the Qur`an than he gets to read either at home or in the masjid. Moreover, besides the reward of reading the Qur`an, this habit saves him from boredom and stress.

He added that he has now been waiting for one and a half hours. Then he asked, when will you find one and a half hours to read the Qur`an? I reflected; How much time do we waste? How many moments of our lives pass by, and yet we do not account for how they passed by? Indeed, how many months pass by and we do not read the Qur`an? I came to respect my companion, and I discovered that I am to stand for account and that time is not in my hand; so what am I waiting for?

My thoughts were interrupted by the nurse calling out my number; I went to the doctor. But I want to achieve something now. After I left the hospital I quickly went to the bookshop and bought a pocket-sized Qur`an. I decided to be mindful of how I spend the time.
If this information is beneficial to you, then please do forward it to your friends and relatives.

Our Prophet (SAW) said; 'Whoever guides or directs to good, then he gets the same amount of blessing (reward) as the one who does it'

The Prophet (SAW) also said 'Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one verse'

May Allah Bless Everyone one of us!!!

WASHINGTON -- Weekly World News telah mendedahkan tentang penemuan mengejutkan mengenai satu kaum primitif yang di panggil Mole People hidup 20 batu di bawah tanah, menggunakan terowong rahsia untuk memasuki United States! Penemuan ini telah dibuat bukan oleh ahli kaji purba, tetapi oleh saintis NASA yang menggali jauh ke dalam Bumi - dan mereka cuba menyembunyikan kewujudan kaum ini dari pengetahuan awam.. Seorang pekerja NASA yang tidak mahu dikenali telah mendedahkan gambar-gambar eksklusif and informasi mengenai kaum 'orang gua' ini. "Cerita ini harus diberitahu," kata sumber itu. "Ia terlalu besar untuk disorok". Sumber itu telah mendedahkan beberapa rahsia besar mengenai Mole People. "Nampaknyer mereka seperti kaum yang peramah", beliau berkata, "Tetapi mereka amat primitif. Kami cuba berkomunikasi dengan mereka, tetapi ia satu kerja yang susah memandangkan mereka tidak tahu bahasa English". "Mole People, sebagaimana yang kami panggil, mempunyai laluan senang untuk ke muka Bumi (surface world)", kata sumber itu. "Dengan demikian, President Bush mengendalikan situasi ini dengan penuh berhati-hati. "Tersilap langkah boleh mengakibatkan makhluk ini mengisytiharkan perang dengan manusia di atas. Kami tidak pasti berapa jumlah mereka ini. Kami baru melihat satu bandar setakat ini, dengan anggaran 2000 orang Mole tinggai di situ. "Tetapi ada pihak yang menyatakan bahawa mungkin berjuta-juta orang Mole tinggal merata-rata di dalam bandar-bandar bawah tanah, berselerak di bawah muka Bumi".

Makhluk itu mempunyai beberapa persamaan dengan manusia - dan juga sedikit perbezaan. "Seperti kita, mereka berjalan dengan dua kaki, tetapi mereka jauh lebih tinggi dari manusia biasa - setinggi 8 ke 10 kaki tinggi. Jari-jari mereka seperti kuku binatang. Dan tangan mereka juga seperti kaki itik (webbed), direka untuk menggali, bukan seperti kuku mole"

"Kulit mereka sangat kuat. Ia adalah untuk menahan panas yang melampau dan juga keadaan yang teruk di bawah Bumi". "Didapati bahawa terdapat perhubungan dan interaksi di antara manusia dengan makhluk ini suatu ketika dahulu - mereka bercakap di dalam bahasa yang hampir sama dengan dialek Navajo Lama.

Sumber itu juga menyatakan bahawa kaum Mole ini mempunyai sistem otot-otot yang sangat besar, membuatkan mereka mampu bertindak ganas. "Apabila salah seorang ahli ekspedisi itu menyalakan rokok, kaum Mole menganggap itu sebagai satu ancaman dan terus menyerang beliau".

"Mereka mencakar dan menyerang beliau seperti kucing hutan, hampir menjatuhkan beliau bersama rokoknya. Beliau amat bertuah selamat dan hidup dari insiden itu". Kaum Mole amat berminat dengan dunia atas muka Bumi - pakaian, alat-alatan dan makanan terutamanya. Mereka amat meminati buah-buahan segar.

"Saya belikan mereka sedikit anggur, dan mereka terus berpesta dan bersukaria", mengikut kata sumber."Amat jelas mereka tidak boleh menanam buah-buahan mereka sendiri memandangkan mereka tinggal 20 batu di bawah muka Bumi". NASA amat berminat untuk mengkaji kaum Mole. "Kami mahu tahu segala-galanya mengenai mereka - apa yang mereka makan,bagaimana mereka tinggal dan yang paling mustahak, apakah perhubungan mereka dengan kaum manusia".

"Kami tertanya-tanya jikalau mereka itu ada kaitan dengan manusia di dalam aspek-aspek yang tertentu. Adakah mereka adalah nenek moyang manusia moden hari ini secara genetiknya ?"

Pakar berkata terdapat spekulasi yang pelbagai mengenai kaum Mole.

"Mereka boleh jadi apa saja, dari Yetis (BigFoot), makhluk asing dari angkasa atau saki baki orang yang terselamat dari bandar Atlantis Yang Hilang. Pakar juga berkata penemuan ini telah menimbulkan beberapa

Adakah makhluk itu musuh dan suka berperang ataupon peramah dan sanggup bekerjasaman? Dan bagaimana dengan minyak dan simpanan mineral di bawah Bumi? Siapa yang memiliki mereka: kaum Mole atau kita? Bagaimanakah dengan NASA dimana misi asalnya adalah untuk meneroka ruang angkasa - telah menjumpai kaum yang hidup di bawah muka Bumi? Jurucakap NASA tidak menafikan mahupun mengiyakan laporan itu. Setelah menerima tekanan hebat dari wartawan, jurucakap White House menjanjikan informasi yang dibenarkan oleh White House untuk disebarkan. Teapi beliau telah memberi amaran "mungkin tidak untuk jangkamasa yang terdekat". Menurut sumber itu, NASA menjumpai kaum bawah tanah itu dalam bulan Ogos ketika sedang menjalankan projek rahsia yang di beri nama Operation Mole Hole - satu inisiatif dimana wartawan sekarang percaya ia mungkin untuk mengintip China, menggunakan "teknologi bawah tanah". Setakat ini NASA telah menjumpai pintu laluan rahsia ke dunia bawah tanah di kawasan sekitar Washington State's Mount Shasta, gua Mammoth di Kentucky dan juga gua-gua yang berselerak sekitar barat daya U.S mengikut kata sumber. Berkurun lamanya manusia telah bercerita tentang kewujudan makhluk di bawah muka bumi.

Sekarang, buat pertama kalinya, spekulasi itu telah dibuktikan kesahihannya. Tetapi samada makhluk-makhluk ini kawan ataupun lawan masih tidak diketahui.

Cerita dari Gaza oleh Razali Awang TV3

2009-03-03T11:11:00.001+08:00

salam
ini saya dapat dr emel forwarded.
tak dinyatakan siapa penulis asal.

yg benar
zahir

Salam,
Semalam Razali Awang, pemberita TV3 yg pergi ke Gaza baru-baru ni, datang ke my company tu share his experience. Persatuan Islam Pekerja yg anjurkan. Razali ni tiap kali dia bercerita, mesti tersekat2 sebab dia kata dia tak dpt lupakan pengalaman yg dia akan kenang smpai mati.
I ada things yg nak share yg buat I tak boleh tido mlm tadi:

Mesir
Razali kata ni Firaun modern. Nama je Islam tapi dah very secular. Sanggup kencing di dinding2 masjid.
Mesir sekat sempadan ..the only way ke Gaza. Makanan dan ubatan2 sume rosak kat sempadan Mesir-Gaza. Sempadan Gaza and Mesir is 14 km long. Kalau lah tak de sekatan, rakyat Palestine takkan kebuluran...

"Mesir lebih rela bersempadan dgn Israel drp bersempadan dengan Hamas!" - Apa punya manusia ni, kata Razali Awang.
Khutbah Jumaat di Mesir mengharamkan khutbah mengenai keganasan di Gaza. Razali btau rakyat Palestin yg dia interview, kat Malaysia tiap Jumaat kami bacakan Qunut Nazilah dan bersolat hajat demi kesejahteraan rakyat Palestine...
Berapa banyak checkpoint dia kena lalui kat Mesir...tapi dgn pertolongan Allah SWT lepas pulak...tapi perit nya..yg mintak rasuah...charge naik bas 500 meter is RM70!!!
Memang sekutu kuat Amerika and Israel.
(Eee...tak ingin hantar anak gi Al Azhar..lebih baik hantar ke negara Islam lain..UIA pun dah bagus!!!)

Gaza (Palestine)
Terbahagi kepada 2 - Hamas dan Fatah...Belah Fatah ada kasino!
Kata wartawan dari Belgium dan Itali, the best strawberry in the world comes from Gaza!
Imam Shafie lahir di sini (sebak pulak bila dengar yg ni).
Razali kata rakyat Palestine sgt berpegang teguh kpd ajaran Islam dan mazhab Shafie.
Org Palestine sgt baik dan friendly as compared to other Arabs esp yg kat Mesir tu..
Moyang Rasulullah SAW dikebumikan dia sini (lupa nama ...tapi dia mention Hashim....)
Beautiful country, iklim Mediterranean ..boleh kalahkan Los Angeles kalau tak kerana peperangan..

Hamas
Memang kalangan yg rela mati sebab mati syahid. Rela mati anytime. Bila bersalam perpisahan dengan Razali dia org ucap "Kalau anda dtg lagi ke sini, adakah kita akan bertemu lagi"...like they know they can die anytime.
Tulang2 yg melekat kat dinding bangungan rosak, tak busuk walau dah berminggu!
Mayat tak reput langsung, bila kubur dibedil oleh Israel...punyalah jahat manusia, kubur pun nak bedil konon tempat simpan senjata.
Hamas ada 25,000 org..tak de senjata canggih tapi yg mati hanya 100 lebih je!!
Hamas ni beroperasi di bawah tanah and they are everywhere. They operate in small groups.
Isteri kepada yg mati syahid, hanya ada satu misi, utk berperang dan mati syahid supaya dapat jumpa suami semula di syurga.
Bagi mereka, kanak2 yg mati berada di sisi Allah SWT.
Menurut seorang ibu yg anak nya mati syahid, hari ni sorang mati, esok lahir lagi seorang bayi..

Israel
Memang pengecut sebab tak berani perang one to one ngan Hamas. Kat darat hanya duduk dlm kereta kebal. Pastu serang ngan bom pintar, bom fosforus dari jarak jauh.
Dia org tau Hamas ada penembak tepat! So, depa takut nak turun dari kereta kebal.
Kereta kebal Israel musnahkan tanaman seperti anggur dan pokok zaitun sebab tanaman ni makan masa bertahun nak tumbuh balik. Biar rakyat Palestine kebulur dan tak de sumber pendapatan.
Semua resolusi PBB, satu pun Israel tak ikut!!! Ada back-up besar lah katakannn...

Rakyat Palestine
Sedih Razali tengok dia org rebus rumput sebab dah tak de makanan.
Kanak2 tiada cita-cita lain selain dari ingin menjadi pengebom berani mati kerana trauma melihat ahli keluarga dibunuh di depan mata sendiri!
Di hospital, pembedahan, jahit kulit ke apa ke...terpaksa dibuat tanpa bius. Sebab ubat dah tak de.
Razali kata tak tahan dia tengok budak2 menjerit2 kesakitan bila kepala di jahit!
Dia jugak pergi sendiri ke dewan bedah yg telah dibedil dgn bom fosforus ..sebelum serangan ada few doctors sedang bedah pesakit....Razali kata tak de apa yg tinggal ..semua dah jadi abu!!! Ada la nampak serpihan tulang sikit2 here and there...Fosforus ni dia hancurkan kulit dan tulang...Nauzubilla h.
Ada banyak lagi..but too long to write. Razali Awang memang volunteer nak pergi ke Gaza (agaknya sebab dia ni pun bujang lagi..hehe). ..So, inilah yg diceritakan oleh beliau.
Satu lagi antara pembekal rifle ke Israel selain dari USA is negara jiran kita ni ha...yg paling dekat...SINGAPURA! So Razali kata kalau kita shopping kat sana mcm kita sokong Israel.
So friends, kita terus doa dan berdoa utk keselamatan saudara Islam kita di mana jua mereka berada..
Wasalam.

Al-Quran and Tones

2009-03-03T00:39:00.003+08:00

Saudi council of Muftis have given a unanimous Fatwa that ring tones on QURAN AAYATH are HARAMM because the AAYATH are not complete when we pick the phone and meanings of AAYAT changes when they are not complete. QURAN is for Hidayat and not for ring tones. Please inform others

KINDLY PASS THIS MESSAGE TO OTHER MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTERS AS WELL... Read More... Read More

BE ADVISED

Don't say 'Mosque' Say always ' Masjid'
Because Islamic organization has found that's mosque = mosquitoes

Don't write ' Mecca ' Write always correctly ' Makkah'
Because Mecca = house of wines

Don't write ' Moh'd' Write always completely as ' Muhammad'
Because Moh'd = the dog with big mouth.

Forward it to as many Muslims as you can for Sawab.

Nothing bad will happen if you don't forward this but these points are
important and it is our duty to educate our Muslim brothers and sisters

Cell phone vs. Quran

2009-03-02T07:43:00.001+08:00

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat

our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm... where is my Quran?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Quran being
disconnected .

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?

And no dropped calls!

P.S. DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH THIS EMAIL

Trust in the Lord and *ASAP (Always Say A Prayer)

Qura'n as Cure ...Good Things To Know for muslims.

2009-03-01T21:35:00.001+08:00

Three important and beneficial things:

1) Hazrat MUHAMMAD s.a.w.(PBUH) says that 'if a person
recite ' Ayatal Kursi' after every Farl Prayer then there will be
nothing between him and Heaven except Death'

2) There is a Hadith that says 'La Haula Wala Quuata illa billahil aliyul aleem' is such a great medicine that it cures every disease and
the most minor disease it cures is 'Sorrow' (Gham).

3) Another Hadith says 'if a person recite surah ikhlaas (QUL huwallahu
ahad..)10 times in a day then Allah build a palace for him in theHeaven.
(Subhana Allah)'

The last but not the least Allah says ' spread the knowledge whatever
u have .......Its duty of each n every muslim' so

PLZ FORWARD IT TO AS MANY PEOPLE AND PLZ INVITE!

Don't wait for tomorrow..it never comes and if it does,
it's today..so do it today & now is the time

Happy moments, praise Allah (SWT)
Difficult moments, seek Allah (SWT)
Quiet moments, worship Allah(SWT)
Painful moments, trust Allah (SWT)
Every moment, thank Allah (SWT )

Safe n Salam

PALESTINE from Mahathir's point of view

2009-02-27T14:44:00.000+08:00

By
Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
on February 10, 2009 12:28 PM | Permalink | Comments (239) | TrackBacks (0)
1. The Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War (KLFCW) held a special forum on Palestine.

2. In my opening speech I stressed that the war in Palestine is not a religious war between Islam and Judaism. It is a territorial war resulting from the European powers carving out a slice of Palestinian land in order to create the State of Israel.

3. It is grossly unjust for the Europeans to solve their Jewish problem by taking land belonging to the Arab Palestinian to give to the Jews for their homeland. It is grossly unfair that they should transfer their problem to the Arabs.
4. The participants at the forum represented all races, belonging to all religions. There were ethnic European Christians, Chinese Catholics, Hindus, Sikhs, Malay Muslims, Arab Muslims, Chinese Buddhists and many others.

5. They came together because they were moved by the human tragedy that is happening in Gaza, Palestine. That the Palestinian Arabs are mostly Muslims did not lessen the feeling of sympathy felt by the participants.

6. Two doctors from Jordan were present. They had gone to Gaza to show their sympathy and brotherhood and to help treat the casualties. They were not prepared to see the carnage caused by Israeli attacks.

7. The Israeli forces appeared to be using new kinds of shells and bombs which exploded after bouncing off the ground hurling sharp metal shrapnel which cut deep into the bodies of the victims.

8. Many had their arms and legs severed by the shrapnel, while others died when the shrapnel cut deep into their bodies and organs.

9. One man was saved because the shrapnel cut into a small Quran he had in his pocket but stopped short of his chest.

10. Phosphorus bombs scattered white phosphorus all over the victims. The phosphorus sticks to the body and burn as long as there is oxygen in the air. It burns through the skin, through the muscles and through the bones. It is impossible to remove the phosphorus without cutting deep into the tissues and bones.

11. The pictures of decapitated bodies, shrapnel severed arms and legs were horrifying. The surgeons had to operate on stretchers with several operations going on in one room at the same time. There was blood everywhere and yet there was no blood for transfusion.

12. The video also showed Israeli men and women being interviewed. They were quite hysterical, shouting and demanding that the Palestinian children should be killed as they, the Israeli women had lost their children because of rocket attacks by Hamas.

13. The Gaza attacks exposed the horror of modern warfare. No one is spared. The town of Gaza is reduced to rubble and bodies were strewn everywhere. Children were buried under the rubble of fallen buildings, with only their dead heads visible. There were burnt bodies of babies.

14. Professor Gurdial Singh spoke about how Israel could be tried by an International War Crimes Court.

15. Then it was question time. An Englishman voiced his anger that the pictures of the atrocities were not made public in the United Kingdom. He wished that the Jordanian doctors could give their briefings together with the pictures in London.

16. Responding to the remarks, Professor Michel Chossudovsky pointed out that the Western media is owned by a small number of people and they control the news contents. They were obviously pro-Israel and their policy is to promote the Israeli cause against Palestine and Muslims in general.

17. Many of the questions asked showed strong sympathy for the Palestinians. The questions were from all races and religions.

18. Then a young Arab man took the floor. The first thing he said was to emphasise that the Palestinian war is a religious war. Muslims must support the Palestinians because of their faith. There can be no two ways. The Arabs must fight a holy war against the Jews. They must fight because the Jews are the enemies of the Muslims, of the Arabs.

19. I felt uncomfortable, as there were many non-Muslim supporters of the Palestinians in the audience. Making the Palestinian war as a religious war seem to reject the sympathy and support of the non-Muslims.

20. A Chinese Catholic got up to reply that he has full sympathy for the Palestinians who had lost their land, who had been driven out of their country to live as refugees. He thought that the Palestinians were unjustly treated and the Israeli killings of the Palestinians were against all humanitarian values. He did not see it as a religious war but a war against injustice and oppression.

21. I was depressed by the attitude of the young Arab. It seems he was moved only by the hatred of the Jews. On the other hand the demand of the Israeli woman to have Palestinian children killed also exposes her bitter hatred of the Palestinians.

22. This is wrong. Of course enemies must hate each other. But that must not be the reason for the war. Actually it is a product of the war.

23. The real reason for the war is the seizure of Palestinian land to create the state of Israel. The objective of the Palestinians should be the re-conquest of the lost land, including removal of the settlements set up by the Jews. The whole war must be directed with this objective.

24. What I realised when the young Arab vehemently declared that the war is a religious war was that the war would have no end. The objective was to kill Jews because of their religion.

25. On the Jewish side it is the same. They want to kill and destroy the Arabs because they hate the Arabs. That explains their brutality, their targeting schoolchildren, babies and old people. That also explains the diabolical weapons that they use, not just to kill but to cause as much pain and disfigurement as possible.

26. The Israeli leaders, especially the military are said to welcome Hamas rockets. To provoke Hamas into firing their rockets the Israelis blockaded Gaza.

27. When Hamas fired the rockets, Israelis would condemn the deaths, especially of children. The people were angered by the death and demanded retaliation, which the military duly obliged with massive attacks out of all proportion to the damage done by the unsophisticated Hamas rockets.

28. For their part the Palestinians would show the effects of Israeli brutality, the destruction of the towns and the deaths of innocent children. The hatred against the Jews was fanned to red heat, and Palestinians would become ready to kill the Jews in any way they can. They would fire more rockets and the Jews would retaliate with even greater force and brutality.

29. Both sides have now forgotten the reasons for their war. It is like the clan war of old, when for generations the hatred would be kept alive and both sides would want to go on fighting and killing each other.

30. The Palestinians are getting the worse deal in this "I kill your people, you kill my people," fighting.

31. I was asked by the Jordanian doctor, when will this war end. I think it will have no end because it has degenerated into feuds of old, when Semitic tribes fight each other for generations simply because they were traditional enemies. The original reason for the enmity has long been forgotten.

32. If the war is going to be terminated both sides must try to remember the original cause and negotiate for peace. The backers of the contestants should cease providing money and weapons so they will continue to fight. Instead they should urge both sides to discuss a peace not based on who is more powerful but on justice.
