Victim Mentality

Salaam

I was in a study circle the other day and I asked some aunty to conclude the circle with a dua….after five minutes of “You do it-no YOU do it” she led the dua.

When I heard her dua, I wished I never asked her.

Her entire dua consisted of begging Allah (swt) to “Save us from the Kafir” and to “save us from the conspiracies of the Kafir” “Save us from the enemy” etc etc…. that’s ALL she focused on.

I have never perceived the “kafir” as the enemy. Our biggest enemy is the one that lies within us (Nafs).

Zionism and Islamism

Originally these words had specific meanings - zionism meant the belief that Jews should have their own "jewish state" and islamism meant a belief that Islam should be implimented politically.

Despite their benign meanings they have very negative connotations in the modern world.

Zionism too is often a blanket term for Isr

Big Boys Don’t Cry

Salaam

Is what I said to one of the boys in a school I was working in who was crying his eyes out because the other boys had taken his toys…

I’ve never said this to little girls though.

As Muslims we all try to live our life doing what’s “expected” of us by Islam.

However, as always when it comes to gender issues sometimes things get a bit cloudy.

I agree with the statement that “A Man should be a man and a woman should be a woman”.

However, what exactly are women expected to act like and when do men start acting like women?

Shocked parents are threatening to take their children out of school after a mix-up led to Muslim pupils being offered sausage rolls.

Parents with children at Mount Stuart Primary School, Butetown, Cardiff, were distraught as pork is forbidden for Muslims.

School governor Mohammed-Sarul Islam said: 'It is shocking. I don't understand how this has happened.'

One Muslim woman, who has a son and daughter at the school, said: 'Half the community is Muslim, so everyone has been affected by this.
