I Hate Feeling So Useless That I Cant Help Easing Their Pain..

i'm sure all are aware of the carnage being inflicted in gaza. let us all staging a peaceful protest here through praying for our fellow brothers and sisters. God please, please, please help them to cope with everything and grant them Your highest firdaus, give them infinite patience and sakeena. forgive their sins and make them among those close to You and Your messenger.

palestine is our wake up call. we should be in the forefronts, in the call to peace, justice, equality and mercy. we can study islamic knowledge as much as we want, but if we dont use it to bring peace, stability and tranquility to humanity, then on what purpose did that knowledge fulfill. we are the brothers and sisters of islam who are blessed by Allah with tawfeeq to seek knowledge. it is our responsibilities and lets do something as God will never change the condition of the people unless they work hard to change for the better. protests,donates, raise awareness, lets not let our action for palestine be when we hear about it in the news only. being well-learned muslims is not a different parallel plane that does not cross over into our daily lives. we need to strengthen ourselves as individuals as we come together as a community.

lets just pray to help them ease their suffering . of course there are logics and reasonings on what has happened, and is happening and perhaps a stroll down history will clarify a lot more. regardless, this is a time to focus on their ease of suffering, and not to look at their nationality and religion. this is about humanity. what the least we can do?what do we do individually? do we come closer, make a few alterations in our grocery lists or write a letter of protest to whomever we think cares? or do we implode the discourse that narrates the consumers and performers of tragedies and stop relieving it in all our society fragmented lives?

the least we can do as a one big muslim ummah, come pray. let us banished the feeling of being useless of not helping easing their pain.


*it hurts me to see their pain*
