Palestine - What we HAVE to do!

For oner 22 days, the people of Gaza lived in terror with the ongoing bombings. Some fled their home only to find its ruins after coming back.

Can we ever imagine living in such state?

Do we have the right to rest when our brother are in such state?

Can you still sleep peacefully at night? If you still can't feel a thing then do you have the right to say that you are a Muslim?

Although the bombings have stopped... it is said to be temporary and most likely to continue. Also remember, the palestinian story is not a 1/2 years story, it has been going on for over 40 years.

We should know the story right now... what's important is what can we do with the limited capacity we have right now.

1. Make doa for our brothers and sisters ... day and night ... while driving to work, walking to school, college/ university, before and after eating ... every moment we have.

2. Strive for perfecting your ISLAM. I am stating ISLAM here because it is our DEEN. 'Deen' as Yusuf Estez puts it is what we do from the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, from the moment we were born till the day we die. It is our way of life. However, the Muslims today only want to do what the feel easy or what they want from Islam and neglecting others. ISLAM should be practised in its completeness to ensure workability. This will be a reminder especially for me.

3. BOYCOTT Israel products! We all know about this... we still buy the products...why??.. because we can't resist the temptation. For some of us it has already become a lifestyle. When I was in the UK, the only brand that tempted me was Marks and Spensers... the foods was absolutely delicious. I used to think.... one cake wouldn't matter... now I know... every penny counts... Oh Allah please forgive my weakness. NOW! It matters more than ever.
