Don't Give Up on PALESTINE!

It’s been a quite long time for me to start on typing on this issue. Previously, I just collecting all the articles, pictures and informations that I got from the internet. But I think there must be something I can do for FALASTHEEN (Palestine), even if it’s small, but at least it’s something…

I was attracted by a headline of an article in a newspaper that I read few months back. It said (translated in Enflish): Don’t Give up on Palestine Issues. Everyday when we read the International sections, there must be news on killing of the Palestinians by the Jews, the never ending discussions and agreements… Muslim nowadays when were asked on their weakness, lists of things they could give. But when it comes to their strength, they became silence and indecisive…

When we look for the strength in ourselves, we will be very weak.

When we look for strength in Allah, we will be invincible…

When I was on holiday, last 2 months, Alhamdulillah, I was given a chance to attend a talk by a Palestinian, Isa al-Imad. He is a PhD holder in human resource and family. Although he spoke in Arabic, I didn’t even sleep for the 2 hours talk coz the courage that he showed throughout the talk and there was a translator furthermore. He mentioned on something that really awakening the audience.

He asked a lady (mother of 7) from the audience: “How far can you run?” “Hm, maybe around 2 km”, said the lady. “What if I give RM100 for each 100m that you run?” he asked again. “Alright then, I can run another 2km,” replied the lady. “Can you go further than that?” he asked again.” I don’t think so coz that will be my limit, I suppose,” said the lady. “Well, I can make you run further, “he said confidently. “How?” asked the lady. “By giving you a dog to catch you…” haha, do you got what he means?

In our lives, there are many driving force in order for us to do what we are doing, right? Interest, money, love and the most powerful driving force is: FEAR. For example, what can make us stayed up all night, sleepless and study to the last minute before the examination on the next day, it’s because of fear of failing…That same goes to the people in Plaestine. The fear of God The Almighty makes them stay and remain in their land, defencing not just for the country but for the the diin of Islam. This is not a matter of Nationalism but a matter of Religion. Sadly, yet many of the Nuslims in all over the world didn’t realize this importance of Palestine Issue. They just sympathy not empathy… The motivator said we’ve got to give our help according to our own capabilities, although not much, but persistent…At least, never forget the Palestinian in our daily prayer…

Therefore in order to succeed, we’ve got to have a decision (QARAR), proceed with what we’ve decided (ISRAR), and persistence in what we’re doing (ISTIMRAR). 10 keys in order to help al-Aqsa:

1) Willingness (Rughbah) 2) Knowledge (Ma'rifah) 3) Practice (Mumarosah) 4) Optimistic (Taghawul) 5) Imaginary (Taswur) 6) Iltizam (Iltizam) 7) Discipline (Inthibat) 8)Patient (Sobru) 9) Continue in effort (Mudawamah) 10)Flexible (Murunah)

Qunut Nazilah (calamity)

This is the kind of special prayer (supplications) recommended in time of calamities and tragedies. As Muslims, we should alwez remember our brothers and sisters who are suffering all around the world by praying to Allah to grant them victory and relief.

Here is a sample of Qunut An-Nazilah :

“O Allah, We seek Your help; we beseech Your forgiveness.
We affirm our faith in You; we praise You.
We reject and abandon everyone who forsakes You.
O Allah, You alone do we worship; unto You alone we pray, and before You alone we prostrate in worship.
Unto You alone we strive and implore.
We cherish hope in Your mercy; we fear Your chastisement.
Most certainly, Your stern punishment will overtake those who reject the truth.
O Allah, we ask Your help against the aggressive Zionists who have committed crimes (against the oppressed), who have violated the sanctities, and killed, and dispersed the oppressed in Palestine.
O Allah, they cannot overwhelm You.
O Allah, You who are the Lord of the oppressed,
Help the oppressed (against their oppressors).
O Allah, show us Your miraculous powers in dealing with them (i.e. the aggressors).
O Allah, make their plans a plan for their destruction.
Make their armies a source of their own defeat.
Make their prison a prison for them.
O Allah, help the oppressed against the oppressors in all parts of the world.
O Allah, have mercy on the Ummah of Muhammad.
O Allah, bring relief to the Ummah of Muhammad.
O Allah, You are the twister of hearts, make our feet steadfast on the path of truth.
O Allah, make us all guides unto truth and make us rightly guided.
O Allah, bless and send peace on Your Prophet and Messenger Muhammad and his entire family and Companions.
