I ran faster. I stopped. The youth I was so used to, the same ones who were always teasing and joking and smoking, were crying. One turned to me and groaned, “His head. His head is split into two!”

Every time the enemy strikes,
I feel the pain deep inside,
Every time a life is taken by a bullet,
I hear my soul as it cries,
Mustafa you are not alone,
You will forever be with us,
Our brother till the death,
Your soul battles on by our side.

For you she opens her heart and she cries,
You are the pride of Filasteen,
Your blood blessed her soil,
Your life was lost in her name,
Your courage reflected all that a Palestinian should be,

Oh and (reference to your signature): isn't it clear that the person who invented pyjamas invented it cos pyjamas are more comfortable than day clothes??? -if there was someone, cos I'm sure people just changed clothes to sleep in cos day clothes aren't always comfortable.

In the book 1984, George Orwell wrote about a future where people were ruled by a police state and the majority of the world was controlled by three super powers:

1. Oceania
2. Eurasia
3. East Asia.

Roughly translated, Oceania would translate down to the American empire (including Britain - it was considered by the author to be culturally similar to the rest of Oceania and too differnet from the others for Eurasia to really want to take over.)

a European/west Asian state (the EU excluding Britain, including maybe Russia and some of the middle east) was givven the name of Eurasia.

The third was East Asia which we can be equated to china's rising/expected influence.

Question:
It is really paining me to see what the enemies of Islam are doing to Muslims. I would like to know how to avenge the muslims?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You imply from your query that the root of the problems of the ummah are the enemies of Islam. This is just one dimension of a multi-dimensional problem facing the ummah.

When searching for a solution in a problem, it is vital that the problem is carefully diagnosed. It is only then that a solution can be considered. If the diagnosis is wrong, no amount of solution will be effective.

Asslamu Alaykoum

The first month Muharram, is a month of great reward and virtue. Muharram itself means `sacred' and is from those months which have been mentioned as sacred in the Holy Quraan.

Almighty Allah states in the Holy Quraan:

"Four of them ( Zil-Qadah, Zil-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab) are sacred."
(Surah At-Tawbah:36)

From out of the four sacred months, Muharram has been blessed with certain specific virtues:-
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) said:

"The best of fasts besides the month of Ramadhan is the fasting of Allah's month of Muharram."
