with abundant stack of things to be attended, ive decided to take a rest on writings but the crisis that bombards the islamic world insisted me and you-(us) to be at par with the attacks. reading on the small numbered 'people of Badr' could hold strong facing the kafrs and none retreat the battle which took place during ramadhan, i felt like a criminal for requesting a break! from the pope slanderous attack on jihad to the latest caricature of our beloved Prophet S.A.W these shows ''their' brain-washing in cultivating fear towards islam (islamophobia) and hatred on us will never end! what more with the ongoing issues of the oppressed islamic lands and the floods of sins surrounds us...

how could then for pieces of assignments, pinch of exam and bite of quizes or thesis writings i and u choose to forfeit the battle?

with His bless, in this 'pandemonium' a light of peace shown bright on our holy land as thousands of our brothers were finally able to bow touching their forhead in the Al-aqsa mosque performing friday prayers after almost four months Al-aqsa was deserted from friday sermons!

"dan yang mempersatukan hati mereka (orang-orang beriman). walaupun kamu membelanjakan semua (kekayaan) yang berada di bumi, niscaya kamu tidak dapat mempersatukan hati mereka,...." (8:63)

i remembered reading a book titled 'from beirut to jurusalem' by Dr Ang Swee Chai few years ago, a book i believed, one would cry evry page turns. but what strucked me most is a chapter in the middle part of her journey where after the shabra shatilla massacre, the camp was once again been attacked but this time it wasnt the israeli tanks that burried the Shatilla mosque instead it was Amal, a lebanese party!(founded by imam moussa sdr). these occured in the month of Ramadhan, the muslims brothers of lebanese and palestine are gun shooting one another! and the above verse reflected... i couldnt stop wondring how gruesome things had gone..

"dan yang mempersatukan hati mereka (orang-orang beriman). walaupun kamu membelanjakan semua (kekayaan) yang berada di bumi, nescaya kamu tidak dapat mempersatukan hati mereka,...." (8:63)

never in my slightest thought this horrible history would repeat itself!! a picture of hope as thousands of muslims entered the Al-aqsa mosque last friday was burned by bloody photos shown hundreds of our brothers injured and many others were killed as two politically differ factions against one another, Fatah versus Hamas! it wasnt the israeli that forced schools in gaza to closed, it wasnt the israeli who killed a 15 year old on his way to school, it wasnt the israeli who kidnapped the ministers... it was the palestinian themselves and their 'deadly internal strife!'.

while Hamas vehemently trying hard wanting to free their people who were prisoned in the may invasion by the israeli, Abbas kept meeting the israeli mossad and insisted Hamas to recognize Israel and signed the 'peace treaty' with the zionist!! and yesterday Fatah's syuhada al-aqsa briged threatened to kill Hamas leaders includes Khalid Mishaal, Said Siyam and Yusuf al-Zahar!![visit www.palestinkini.info or www.electronicintifada.net] and isnt this what israeli has been eagerly waiting!! we are giving israeli the best gift they dreamt of for free!! and the above verse reflected... i couldnt stop wondring how gruesome things had gone...

"dan yang mempersatukan hati mereka (orang-orang yang beriman). walaupun kamu membelajakan semua (kekayaan) yang berada di bumi, niscaya kamu tidak dapat mempersatukan hati mereka, akan tetapi Allah telah mempersatukan hati mereka. sesungguhnya Dia Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana"(8:63)

that was how the verse in 8:63 ended... it is Allah and only in the name of Allah we could connect, attached, bind and unite with each other!! let us joined hands and pray may Allah shower us with His blessings in this holy month of Ramadhan. may our brothers in Palestine unite under His banner. may our ukhwah fillah blossoms as days goes by...

#my dearest sisters, ukhwah will not last with hours spent on taaruf, it will not prevail with your sweet lasting smiles, it will not stay alive with the jokes you crack up with... but it'll survive if we sheild it with His name and protects it with our patience... protects it with our patience under His name!

"dan bersabarlah kamu bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang menyeru Tuhan-nya di pagi dan senja hari dengan mengharap keridhaan-Nya..."
