After dropping my mum off at the Relics of Makkah and Madinah event in Rochdale I decided to visit the world famous International Chippy for some food.
On the way back, I took a photo of the above painting which I thought was pretty nifty.
Over the past few years I think the mainstream Muslim community has started to shy away about discussing Jihad.
I am not talking about the struggle against your own soul, but war.
Islam has pragmatism and it understands that pacifism is not always the right answer. The revelation of the verses relating to Jihad were not easy and occurred after the Muslims had been oppressed severely for a long period of time.
As terrorism has become more prevalent, more and more people seem to shy away from discussing the topic, hoping to not ruffle any feathers, to not be misquoted and not be harrassed by any extremism government policies.

Recently a public debate has been stirred about whether actions preventing someone from public platforms (and therefore depriving them of the money they would have been paid) is “economic terrorism”.
The answer is no. No one has an automatic right to use a platform to spread their message. They can do so on their own, but they do not need organisations to support or pay them for it.
When you choose Umrah Packages or anywhere else, it should allow you to perform all the rituals with devotion and peace of mind. So whenever you plan your tour make sure to keep every necessity with you. If you have no experience of any tour before, then we can recommend you few things you should definitely consider.
The Trump Presidency has started and barring any intervening acts, will last for either 4 or 8 years.
Now most people on social media are hyperventilating with either deep despaire or deep hope. Both are probably mistaken about their fears and hoples, but some of the things they fear /hope will happen.
While there is much debate about the impact of the Trump presidency on many things, there is less debate about its impact on the rights of Palestinians – where it will likely be a bigger catastrophe than previous American involvement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli right wing already considered it a major win when Trump won the US presidential elections.
Everyone seen this? Its an online comedy sketch by the BBC:

A lot of people have been offended by this. Some due tothe portrayals, some on using tragedy for comedy, others suggest it belittles the lives of people in the region and consider it as a form of continued mental colonialism.
There is even a change.org petition to get this banned (ever known a petition to actually matter?).
I thought it was audacious and funny.
A few weeks ago I got shown a message which suggested that ASDA added animal based preservatives to its milk which would render it unsuitable for Muslims.
At first I considered it a hoax and then I promptly forgot about it as the local shop is way more convenient to getting milk.
Until today.
So I did a quick google of it all and came across this page. Conclusion: it is Halal.
What is happening in Aleppo (and Syria in general) is truly shocking. Yet most Muslims do not seem to be as outraged as when Israel attacks the Palestinians or even Lebanon.
A lot of leftists you can ignore because they are more defined by their awe of Russia and anti American sentiment more than by justice or humanity.
But even Muslims are the same. I have even come across sentiment suggesting “aah well, atleast it is Muslims killing Muslims” as if that is some sort of excuse and makes it less bad.
That makes it worse – people who are meant to have the highest humanity and morality carrying out such despicable acts.
As we speak the final opposition held areas of Eastern Aleppo are falling in the face of a massive onslaught of Russian air power, Syrian armed forces and their alliwed Lebanese and Iraqi shia militias.
Even before the final onslaught there were many reports that from civilians that had fled Aleppo, the men had been stripped out and disapeared. No doubt many of these will have been tortured and many murdered.
